In the dormitory
No way. After the thoroughly well-founded description of the fragrance of Yatagan and Santalwaltis wonderful journey, now the old chicken comes around the corner with Tribal Black Tea. Of course, I don't have the extensive knowledge of the scent of a Yati and I can't keep up with dear Walti when it comes to wonderful head cinema and olfactory journeys. Nevertheless, this fine summer scent also triggers something in me and I would like to share it with you. In the hope that I don't bore you.
My readers know that I drink tea and also know that I spent some time in the UK during my student life. At that time, I was still a coffee drinker, but my time in the UK taught me that coffee unfortunately doesn't taste as good everywhere.
Coffee machines as we know them were out of fashion with the British at that time. In the dormitory people drank tea, tea and more tea. English Breakfast was the preferred variety of everyone, but Earl Grey, Assam, Ceylon and other varieties were also popular. And not only in the afternoon at five o'clock and certainly not in the lounge. Tea was served there at any time of day or night. If you did not drink tea, you drank beer. And the hardest kind, vodka or whisky. After all, wine was almost priceless. Different kinds of tea, for example green tea, rooibos or fruit tea, also not available. You could buy it in the supermarket, but only black tea was drunk. Some preferred milk, some milk and sugar and some drank it with lemon or simply pure.
The fragrance description of Yatagan is perfect, I don't need to go into detail about the individual notes. What I really like is the "Hello awake" effect when applying it. Not only does the refreshing citrus kick cheerfully say "Good morning", but you also have the feeling of having a cup of freshly brewed black tea in front of you. That immediately lifts the mood. For me it is not a candidate for purchase, as it smells like the typical 'Earl Grey' aroma, not my favourite variety. The scent of Assam tea, which is much more appealing, is something I only smell a little later in the course of the day. Should it be a tea scent, I would therefore choose another one. But this scent manages to put me back into my dormitory in Great Britain at the push of a button. We sit in our common kitchen, everybody has his cup of black tea in front of him and we exchange our daily routine. There's something homey about it that I like very much.
If you like Dear Polly from Vilhelm Parfumerie, you should try a snifter here too. The scent is a bit fresher and for my nose a tad more unisex. I'd take it as a present. For a detailed description of the fragrance I recommend the commentary by Yatagan.
Many thanks to Floyd for the sample.
