like a silent chamber
The door is quietly closed and the small room greets me lovingly:
The lights are dimmed; the walls covered with tiles that pleasantly conduct heat, in a soothing shade of green, with little specks of light dancing on their surfaces.
A moulded area, large enough to lie on, invites you to do so, and all is filled and enveloped by soft, warm steam.
All breathes silence; the only sound to be heard is the faint soft murmur of the steam:
Flattering steam infused with wonderful aromas caressing her senses.
15 minutes lasts this escape from everyday life; the stay in one of these magical steam caves, which are offered as so relaxing.
They are!
The return to the now is made easier by a large, soft pre-warmed towel in which I am wrapped; along with a comfortable seat in the relaxation room and a glass of pleasantly tempered spring water!
Tranquility and the view through the large panoramic windows into the silent garden prolong the soothing descent into another world.
Yes, beautiful it was always; unfortunately, it is now irretrievable!
But already the first splash of "Ombre Fumée" puts me immediately back into this clam shell of security.
Flatteringly arranged fragrance notes in the opening: fresh-spicy, but not tingling or bringing the usual Mediterranean summer feeling, but rather subdued and quietly occurring: a kind of steam bath for skin and senses.
Loud or restless is nothing in this fragrance; even the heart note was put together with a happy hand for balance and warmth:
Black pepper, discreetly dosed, yet warming; a bit of laughing south through cypress and the noble ladies iris and jasmine blend into a harmonious whole.
This balanced beautiful strand of fragrance fills the successful prelude and opens the door to the generous expanse of the fragrance base:
Earthy-dark, a little damp Vetiverschwaden, mysteriously whispering with the silver beauty cedar: as if they consult, how they should take the still following Duftgeschwister.
In vain all planning: tonka bean makes itself broad - vanilla is not here, so it can score: a little warm, a little sweet, a little cozy!
But ambergris, this time not shiny, but finely matted and therefore particularly well suited to the delicate suede aroma, lets the little bean become an extra.
"Ombre Fumée" lives on a not quite ordinary fragrance mixture; the fine suede encloses the smoky-spicy amber aroma skillfully and so these two, excellently tuned to each other and their fragrance succession affectionately dragging along, step into the final spotlight!
This smoky-warm fragrance mixture comes without incense also. Therefore, probably missing the small barbs, the fine tips, with which incense is known to make itself known.
"Ombre Fumée" is warming like a soft sweater, which flatters the skin and senses and which on some days, despite its finely spun delicacy, has the power of armor!
This fragrance has the power to establish a haven of calm: it invites you to linger, and not just for a moment.
In this smoky embrace it can be comfortably endured for a few hours: everything garish, everything loud everything annoying simply stays outside!
Maybe that's why I immediately took this "smoked dragon" into my heart.
Although I do not even remember who sent me this generous sample; but I thank you very much for this valuable protection against everything unfriendly!
Therefore, "Ombre Fumée" is currently my regular companion: its endearing tenderness and friendliness I would not want to miss.
For today, anyway, this fragrance pulls the curtains in front of the windows, lights candles and just leaves the weird snowy stuff outside!

magical, smoky darkness
It's been here for a long time, this bottling from my dear friend Can777, and like many others he chose for me, it took me some time, including a few attempts at writing, to approach "Osang" from Mendittora's "Talismans Collection":
That's...

first digging in the mud, then a balmy Mediterranean feeling
Dark beaches: I don't even know how many of them there might be; after all, the term "beach" here always means a smaller or larger stretch of light-colored, sometimes even almost white sand by the sea.
