From the smile of the heavenly light
From the depths of time, a sacred fire in the middle of the cathedral. A fire seen. A thousand sounds escape from the organ, exhaled airs of wooden timbres and metallic vibrations embrace the bright light. Thousands of years ago, people added wood and resins to the fire, their bright, fragrant smoke shrouding everything visible. The other world opens up, creation shines, brother sun and sister moon, Mother Earth in her colors and forms. The holy light vibrates golden, delicate, a flower blossoms within, a cornucopia of light poured out reveals a tart sweetness. The heavenly light is infinite love, telling in subtle notes of the beauty of creation, its generosity. It is a laughing light that makes us shine, only we are important, our salvation, our blossoming and our daily nourishment of light and bread. A laughter that takes away our seriousness, worries and suffering and gives us back golden light. And it is light, dancing, overflowing, not overwhelming. But in its lightness it outshines the old dark walls. For a moment, it makes only the spaces between the atoms appear, the universe is light and sound.
Hildegard von Bingen, the nun, abbess, scholar, poet and composer, experienced the presence of God's love as a great light in her visions. She had a great knowledge of medicinal herbs and the connections within the human body. For her, sexuality was ordained by God and she is said to have been the first to describe the female orgasm. In monastic plays, she had her sisters appear adorned and celebrating their femininity. They are all part of creation, the great act of love. She celebrated joy, laughter and beauty. I have strong images from the movie "Visio" by Margarethe von Trotta in mind. Is that why this fragrance is so light and playful, alternating between floral, resinous, woody, bitter, sweet and smoky, because Hildegard is in mind?
There is a CD with compositions of her visions, sung by bright, high female voices. [When I'm back home, I'll add a nice quote from her here]
Frankincense opens in an extraordinary accord with amber, myrrh, vanilla, patchouli and saffron, soon vanilla dominates and gives warmth, together with amber and saffron, the bitter myrrh recedes, giving way to fine patchouli. Jasmine and lily of the valley soon blossom, but delicately, flanked by woods. I can't smell the ambrette seeds yet, but the diversity of their fragrance notes makes me very curious. Then the sweetness takes over again, surprisingly for me in a vision, and makes me think of the cornucopia of divine gifts.
I have read elsewhere about the unusual olfactory pyramids of Filippo Sorcinelli, a multi-talented man, tailor of the Pope's robes, organist and perfumer. In addition to smoky notes, the base contains artemisia and ylang-ylang, which I perceive rather delicately, rounding off the sweetness in a slightly spicier way. What remains is a fine trace, a light memory.
Art and Sharing is a new series, Art and Sharing - Lux Visionaria, the first fragrance in a collaboration between Filippo Sorcinelli and Bianca die Garza, a Mexican-American journalist. This is what duftkunsthandlung.de/products/Filippo-sorcinelli-lux-visionaria talks about and describes the duo's ideas in detail, here is a small excerpt: "'Lux Visionaria' speaks of both sensibilities, of the search for the beyond [...] that hears and redesigns our distortions, makes us look up without forgetting our drama, in a meditative and exuberant cosmos of colors." So this is about our search and the other world that comes to us.
When I think of Breath of God Perfume or "Unum - LAVS | Filippo Sorcinelli" by Sorcinelli, the Other World can also appear more powerful and austere or more drawn. Art and Sharing - Lux Visionaria is dazzling, playful, warm, light and sweet. What a mischievous prank by the essence juggler.
