Closer to Heaven...!
And now you stand here full of awe...!
And you get down on your knees and kiss the red-dusty ground on which you stand. And you honor an entire continent, peoples and cultures. You honor the wildest animals, the greatness and the vastness. And in this one timeless, infinite moment, you kiss Africa. Behind you are the Moran. The warriors of the Maasai, bowing their heads in reverence. Their faces so full of dusty-hot pride and their singing so bitter-green. And so they join in the adumu. The dance of the young Morani warriors. And so they begin to jump while standing. As high as if they wanted to kiss the sky. All the tribal women so beautifully painted with cinnamon and spices. Adorned with the oldest, inherited beads. Colorful, iridescent and full of splendor. But in their faces the smoky-sweet pain of history and suffering. And so they weep tears. And they became crystals. Interwoven in precious, shimmering and protective robes. And so see the Maasai! How they come a little closer to heaven with every leap of the Adumu. They dance to the sky. So high, so full of fervor and infinite, unbroken pride...!
Conclusion
Crystal d'Afrique
How bitter it begins. And how beautifully it ends!
You can smell the bitter, dry savannah here. The acidic-green herbaceousness of geraniums and sensitive-green mimosas. You can feel the heat of the steppes on which the hot wind blows together with pungent ginger and dark, spicy cinnamon. It shouldn't really be here. But it is! And it is the most beautiful I have ever smelled. And I've had many! Here the cheetahs lie down gently in your lap to sleep as the night slowly fades into smoky green incense. And if you smell carefully, you can smell the dust that the Maasai stir up with every leap of their dance. It smells of freedom stretching proudly into the sky.
Pride can smell so beautiful-pure...!
Unique!
I actually said it all in my statement back then. Actually? There are very few perfumes that have managed to move me to tears. This one did it. Right into my heart and completely pure and disturbingly pure. The depth of the notes and ingredients is overwhelming. Here is Africa in its unfiltered version. Everything, but really everything is born in Africa. And it dies slowly on the skin for hours, full of beauty, grandeur and pride. I may not be a Maasai...but it also makes me feel a lot closer to heaven. It is a great honor to wear this perfume. Rarely has it been like this! And so I kiss the African earth with gratitude. Or perhaps it would be better to say,.... the SKY!
And so my dear friends,...do me a favor! Take all those who can no longer jump so high by the hand. And jump with them as high as you can for them. Just like the old Maasai do. Their eyes may be dull, blind and old. But if you look closely, you will be closer to the sky than ever before...!
Have a wonderful Christmas. The very best wishes my friends. Stay healthy and kiss life with every jump. And here it's not how high you jump like the Maasai. What counts here is the will and gratitude. Life is a pearl...!
Full of dearest thoughts...
