Sometimes ...
Sometimes raven wings graze
like November days
Your retracted head,

swirl wafts of mist
into wild clouds,
whisper confusedly of intermediate worlds.

Then threads rise
of silver smoke
from your cup,

the first frost lies on the windows,
paints patterns
over mountains of fog.

Close your fingers around the cup! And dream mimosas,
until the sun's rays silently
melt the hoarfrost inside you.

Follow the glittering paths
of the dew pearls
on their way down,
and write a name
in the breath,

when the tidal bell
Your soul
makes it sound.

The Italian artist Filippo Sorcinelli is not only a perfumer and the Pope's tailor, but also a passionate organist. For the fragrances in his "Extrait de Musique" collection, he was accordingly inspired by the "Grand Orgue" in Notre Dame and not only chose the shape of the drawbar of an organ stop for the flacons, but also tried to synaesthetically reproduce the sound of the various stops in the fragrances. As far as I am concerned, he has definitely succeeded in realizing this vision in the case of Plein Jeu, because the fragrance really makes something inside me resonate - and once again I wonder whether Filippo Sorcinelli breathes incense, because he understands this raw material like no other and knows how to depict its facets in such an incomparable way.
In Plein Jeu, he specifically highlights the citrusy and pine-needle-like facets of incense. It may well be that pepper and ginger were used for this purpose, but I can't consciously perceive either, although I didn't need much imagination to believe in these notes when I read them in the pyramid.
The fragrance is very light and transparent from start to finish, almost ethereal, although an initial sharpness contrasts very attractively with the floral notes of jasmine and the powdery softness of mimosa. Dry, light woods - somewhat brittle, but never scratchy - play a game of hide-and-seek with my nose, appearing again and again in this picture, only to disappear again quietly and secretly. Ultimately, however, they build a bridge to mild, balsamic resins with a slightly salty note, to which vetiver and perhaps cetalox, which I can only assume and cannot smell out of the overall context, contribute a few glittering crystals.
Plein Jeu, with its soprano-like citrusy-balsamic incense composition, is a simple, pared-down fragrance. No trace of great drama or even sacred high mass, but simply delicate beauty, gentle contemplation, an uplifting feeling of clarity over which Plein Jeu's bell-like tones float. A gentle fragrance soul for days when calm and serenity are required, which the fragrance knows how to give away generously with a light hand.

Countertenor in the cold church
Beautiful incense-myrrh fragrance. Goutal "Myrrh Ardente" I like too, but this one is much deeper. Church gallery. Old wood and dust, frankincense, the sun shining through stained glass windows in beautiful, colorful beams... And the voice flies: "Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis..."

I like you like this, you whistle!
And I am one of the few who may say pipe, because the pipe knows how is meant.
I myself am also a pipe, most friends and acquaintances of my parents said at that time already: super sweet, pretty, nice girl, a pity that she is so retarded.
But to the fragrance: incense.
Have already said allman below, I know, but they didn't say this was the best incense on the subtlety scale. And that's THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to add here! Otherwise nobody knows!

The whole pyramid nonsense you can all quickly forget, if Sies have not yet read through, you do not need, saves valuable time, is not all in it the whole lemon ginger mimosa pepper amber jasmine myrrh cedar fir balsam moss patch almond vetiver curd.

Even the ancient Germanic-Roman Greeks knew frankincense was a remedy.
Cold diseases, sinus, sinus, but also quite normal cavity diseases frankincense could not cure, but relieve the symptoms.
If one had, for example, because of excessive consumption of several mammoth legs gastrointestinal complaints, helps already in Napoleon's time the inhalation of incense to relieve flatulence, which was sung in the, years later, Bob Dylan incense anthem: The Answer My Friend.... was hereby musically manifested.

Incense. Subtle. Doesn't shine, doesn't annoy, is just always there. Stays there, too. Is so, must so. It's in the Frankincense Code. Section 1, WHGGB: Stay there. You whistle.
The best there is.

Subtle and elegant incense fragrance, without sacral associations, reminds me of a dusty old attic.
