The morning heaviness of moisture in still cool air brings forth blood-red, slightly violet-tinged sunrises. And the evening haze turns the sunset into a colorful spectacle. Almost turquoise-green to the east, orange-red to the south, violet in the north, and crimson in the far west. This is exactly how Eau de Gouverneur smells to me. The cool and somewhat distantly rough opening of the fragrance reflects the morning colors. The "hot parts" of the summer afternoon are expressed through the very present spices that linger for a long time. Until late evening, when the sun seems to distill every drop of moisture into mist, staging a worthy and spicy sunset with all the impressions of the day before. Still warm from the day, woods and vetiver let their scent molecules dance and unite with all the vibrant spice that shifts from light to dark. Clove represents the light, and nutmeg the covered. The tones in between are "morning" sage with growing energy and "afternoon" pepper, the hottest part of the day. In the evening, they unite and are ready for the night!
A scent impression that I can hardly describe differently. No forest, no sea, no flower meadow or garden. But growing, intensifying, uniting, and slowly fading "spice energy"......
