Ville de Francfort - Haus zum Würzgarten 1732 Albrecht 2001

In gardens, I feel at home; this is not least due to my profession, as cemeteries also count for me in a narrower sense. There, too, I often tend to graves commissioned by relatives. And in gardens and cemeteries, there are now also scents. Some plants and flowers smell sweet and bright, others spicy and herbaceous, while yet others only release their fragrance in the morning or evening, only when it rains, only when the sun shines, .... etc. etc.... And this garden here, namely the "Herb Garden" from the Albrecht perfumery in Frankfurt, captured in a simple, classic bottle, exudes all these spicy, sunny, rosy, dry, and humid scents, long-lasting and well-perceptible, all at once. Not all at the same time, but alternating and oscillating with one another, and exuding a great measure of leisure and tranquility. A garden where not every bush stands neatly trimmed, and where a corner is left with wild herbs, and the lawn is not mowed every two days. A garden where wild, sweetly fragrant roses grow. Lily of the valley and wild iris release their scent. An overturned or broken tree stump is allowed to grow moss, and old-fashioned benches wait to rest upon, to gather strength and peace, letting everyday life just be everyday life. And, which is very important, to consciously perceive scents and store them in memory, to be able to recall them in unpleasant situations, and to bring a bit of leisure. The gate to this garden, large, oval, made of moss-covered bricks, can be found when you indulge in "House of the Herb Garden," a creation of the Albrecht perfume family from Frankfurt. Affordable, and on par with or even ahead of most high-priced fragrances......
