Midlife crisis and noodle eating
A few years ago, with a midlife crisis looming, I introduced the 'noodle dinner' to my circle of friends. Always on the 19th of a month* - so no matter on which day of the week it falls - I have noodles with sauce, for all friends who have time and desire. After a certain age it is hardly possible to meet friends spontaneously. One must already make an appointment, because children, job, back gymnastics (!), old parents, whatever, prevent us from the uncomplicated coming together.
Where I come from, the back doors of the houses are always open when someone is home. You just barge in as a visitor, sit on the kitchen bench, possibly help fold the laundry, and have fellowship without having entered the date into your cell phone beforehand, uncomplicated.
The 'pasta dinner' in question is my adaptation of the open door. I'm not a gifted cook, but 'a tasty pasta sauce is no problem and
in large quantities. Fresh pasta from the fridge is ready in 5 minutes, so it doesn't matter if 5 or 20 people show up. In the circle of friends, the date has been established, who can come, and is welcome to bring another guest. It's a great opportunity to meet old and new people, stress-free and relaxed, without fuss. A bit like in the old days. No matter how big the round is, a loud bustle and clatter when arriving and eating, is followed by a lush, languid, wine-soaked relaxation in the circle of nice people, in the middle of the paced everyday life, beautiful!
So, how does she get the hang of eating noodles now to 'Embrunsd d'Ylang' by Guerlain....
Thierry Wasser has tried with this fragrance creation to dust off Ylang-Ylang (back gymnastics) He wanted to give the 'Retro-Chanel5- Ylang' a new context, in this case with a salty note, l'embruns means splashing water from the sea.
Right at the beginning, Ylang stands radiantly in the room, has loud flower friends with it, and if it went on like this, the party could tip over, but it doesn't. Bar any affectation, Ylang, carnations and jasmine turn out to be pleasant, considerate guests, who enrich the evening with their presence and fit perfectly into the group.
You can see what T. Wasser was going for, because even though I personally can't smell the salt, it seems to tame and brighten up the floral troupe. Who would have thought I'd ever say that about a ylang-ylang scent - but this one really delivers. For me, the best part of pasta night...er, fragrance night, is when people are chatting away the evening with a wine in hand, content, sated, with their trouser button loosened. And that's exactly how 'L'embruns d'Ylang' is towards the end- with the help of patchouli and vanilla- warm, lush, complex, quite wonderfully unpretentious and uncomplicated.
I thank Turandot, without whom I probably wouldn't have given it a chance....
