The village by the sea
I happened to stumble across this scent the other day while I was browsing. To date, neither the fragrance nor the Battistoni brand have been known to me. The price was hot and 3,2,1 mine.
Already after 2 days the postman rang twice and there he was. The outer packaging wasn't bad at all. Dark blue light structured cardboard with white writing. Simple and elegant. This is followed by the bottle in it. Right streamlined upwards tapered. In the middle the glass relief of the Roman god of war Mars. Nice. Less chic is the cheap plastic cap. But with the price....
So get on with it. Two sprays and let the impressions take effect. Hmmm. First, Marte starts off citrically fresh. But it is from the impression no bright lemon that brightens the day. If one compares the freshness with the rays of the sun, it seems as if there were isolated shadows over it. As if you were sitting under the branches of a tree that swayed in the wind and the rays of the sun and the shadows of the leaves alternated back and forth. I wonder if it comes from basil After a while the fragrance goes into a heart/basic phase which I cannot separate from and which has confused me for a long time. At some point an image was visualized that at least approximately corresponds to the following:
A small village. Somewhere in Italy. It's right by the sea. Tourists rarely get lost here. The boys moved to town. For work. Nowadays it's mostly the old people who live here. They're too rooted in the place. There's no rush here either. Everything has its own rhythm. The houses are whitewashed with lime and shine like rows of white teeth of a giant in the barren wild landscape. The smells that the sea carries with it mix with the smell of the limestone, the wild jasmine that grows everywhere here and the gnarled cedars that occasionally rise like fingers out of the landscape.
The bottom line is, a fragrance that takes you on a journey. If you take the time to discover it. No mainstream, I'm sure. But definitely special and worth a trip
