the beautiful scented girls
The dark green varnished leaves provide spicy shade, the vibrantly colored fruits still hang on the branches or are already gathering, lovingly collected in large baskets: it is the fragrant harvest time of the mandarins!
And it's also time to celebrate the annual "Tangerine Festival."
Their sun-flavored fragrance lingers fresh and fruity in the air, exhilarating the senses; their fruits glow in the darkly shining foliage like rich golden orbs.
The whole place has already dressed up, almost the whole region is gathered here; they are just waiting for the fragrant guests of honour.
Princess Nerola comes all the way from Sicily; delightful she looks again in her light bright gown, dancing around her fine figure in the light fruity aromatic breeze.
She seems so delicately floral, fresh, innocently sweet, radiant and exceedingly lovely: so like the very own fragrance that surrounds her.
Neroli takes hearts by storm, smoothes worry lines and relaxes in the hectic everyday life.
So it's no wonder that everyone loves her!
The same goes for the fragile beauty called Orange Blossom Absolue: is she so pure white and yet so fragrance-intensive embracing and protective.
Her heartfelt charm no one can resist for long!
As they stand together like this, the two fragrance-graces, they remind me of the so-called "princess group" of the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow. It depicts the later Queen of Prussia, the still revered Luise, and her sister Friederike.
A sweet innocence surrounds these two sisters; the fragrant companions neroli and orange blossom could be their image - as they meet in the mandarin grove.
This relaxing yet invigorating fruity freshness, gets a spicy cardamom kick; it too has come far across the sea.
So together they ascend the small podium of lightly scented light woods, specially built in their honor by the tangerine trees.
A harmonious meeting of quiet and yet very impressive scents was initiated here; no great "summit meeting", but something beautiful and nice that radiates serenity and well-being.
"Néroli à la Cardamome du Guatemala" tells me his delightful little "creation story".
We spend some hours together, again and again I am touched by this tenderness that covers me like a fragrant cape.
Of course, I am biased: after all, I have loved my wristwatch from Chopard's "Happy Diamond" line for decades.
Perhaps that's why I've been searching almost as long for a fragrance counterpart that I haven't found yet.
It was/is all too powerful or too vacuous everyday for me to really get excited about.
With "Néroli à la Cardamome du Guatemala" I seem to have finally found a fragrance equivalent that I like.
Just right to accompany warm long summer days or to chase away gloomy moods.
A very special magic rests in this fragrance creation, which simply touches.
A kind of divine magic of the quiet tones!
