iridescent fragrance facets on lush moss

They glisten like pearls of dew on the damp, lush cushions of moss, surrounded by greenery and strong juniper, which is already evident in this composition: the fresh aromas of various citrus fruits; it is not without reason that they are called "Hesperides Gold" This freshness, enlivened by juniper's spiciness, is surprising: these fragrance notes resonate extremely well together and immediately want to play along in the concert of fragrance sounds, creating an extremely pleasant and harmonious overture.
Dewy, pearly, tart, spicy citrus freshness and bright, noble cypress green complement each other and cannot be squeezed into a pyramid this time.
There is no leading score: every fragrance note is here everywhere and almost at all times! Richly scented white bloomers drape themselves stylishly over what is already there:
White and sensually fragrant cascades of jasmines and precious scented roses meet here with the enchanting beauty of gardenias, whose blossom was once so often worn as a "buttonhole flower"; I also remember the fabric creations that were attached to a pin and festively adorned many a costume jacket lapel.
They meet ylang ylang, the long tendrils covered with bright yellow and summery fragrant flowers.
Their joint glow pervades this successful aromatic fragrance composition like a swarm of flashing fireflies, accompanied by the bright sounds of flutes, in which the great old, gnarled oaks with all their mysteries are now also given their turn at muted timpani.
We are drawn into the depths of a powerful-sounding aromatic embrace; but there is no danger of getting lost or drowning in it.
Bright, clear resins, topped with cool, divine incense accents, protect us from this: their smoky web protects us from too much dark fragrance magic; silky and woody, accompanied by cedar, they lead to a harmonious and rich finale in which light and dark, blooming summer floral beauty and serenity and ancient mysticism unite to create a charismatic fragrance work of art of particular depth and radiance
Floyd has already said everything about Antonio Gardoni; he can do better than I can and I can only agree with his comments from the perspective of a woman who is no longer young.
We are both following the golden beetle, just each of us on our own path.

"AG" by Bogue is one of those special fragrance creations that my dear Can777 keeps giving me; he knows what I might like and also knows the limits of a fragrance world that would probably still overwhelm me today.
But I think he will be ready for the next step in my "fragrance discovery" and at some point he will take the training wheels off my still wobbly fragrance tricycle.

It also took me some time to find my way around here and to put this search for the magical heart of "AG" into words.
It was definitely worth it.
