The Brief Dream of the Fig Tree.

What a beautiful dream I had, there I saw a fig tree.

Green and juicy it stood there, it was the most beautiful time of the year.

The leaves were swaying in the wind, I wanted to go there, ran quickly.

The fruits hang high on the tree, I struggle to reach them.

But one falls towards me, so juicy that my fingers stick.

So here I sit at the edge of the sea with the fig in hand, enjoying the sun, feeling the wind, feeling like a child again.

I would like to stay in this garden, the work can wait today.

But as quickly as it came, it is taken from me, gone is the fig tree, the beautiful dream cleared away.

Now quickly the bottle in hand, and back to the distant land.

A lovely poem. True, the longevity isn't great, but it's a nice scent.

Thanks for the tip, Frischherb! Maybe I should really give those molecular scents a try!
And thanks for the compliment, Ponticus.
Wishing you all a lovely Easter evening. Best regards!

A great and very natural scent. It's clear that it doesn't last long.

Yes, I felt the same way. The scent is unique, but unfortunately very fleeting. Next time, I'll layer it with Molecule 01. Let's see if it lasts longer then. Best,
