Autumn song
Once I left a part
of my soul
vanished with the migrating birds,
when the winter darkness
loomed behind the stubble fields.
Do you still know the time,
when the sun is low?
Its tangerine-colored light
like the last leaves
floating from the branches of dark trees?
Do you also hear the rustling of brushwood
like cinnamon bark beneath your feet?
Of the tobacco-brown leaves?
Put the necklace of amber shards still today
around my bare neck,
so that it becomes warmer,
absorb the pulse of my veins.
Light the fires on dry wood.
Let their flames beat into the sky,
until the night descends.
And when their smoke has long since vanished
and when the red rum
sparkles in cups,
then the embers shall warm us
until a new day dawns.
Vanilla sweet in small drops like honey
morning gold pours over the horizon

Ever since I found out that Annette Neuffer is not only a perfumer but also a jazz musician, I've always had a little "aha" effect when I test one of her fragrances. As a musician, she is very familiar with notes and chords, knows how to place both in a larger context, how to create and dissolve structures in order to transform individual elements into something larger that can capture certain moods, but also trigger them in the recipient. Her olfactory compositions show that she knows exactly when and how to emphasize, blur or slowly fade a certain note to create an image or capture an emotion. She is also a master at telling a story without using words.
Autumn Nocturne is a fragrance that immediately speaks to me. Just like the eponymous musical character piece, the fragrance captures this very special elegiac-melancholic mood, contrasting dark ambery tones, woods, spices, tobacco with the bright glow of mandarin and the red glow of cinnamon and a subtle rum note. In between, the golden warmth of honey-sweetened beeswax and vanilla radiates, only to be saved from becoming too edible by salty ambergis.
It's a yearning scent with hopeful highlights, a fragrance that smiles and wears its heavy brocade clothes with such ease that even someone like me, who often loses the nuances in densely woven fragrances, can feel completely happy and secure.
Dear Annette, my autumn soul joins in with your night song and borrows a few red-golden drops until the migratory birds return. And thank you, dear Gandix, from the bottom of my heart for the sample!
