Sideris Maria Candida Gentile 2009

mild clear bright incense fingers
meditatively rummaging in a singing bowl,
where warm sandalwoods,
subtle saffron sweetness and
restrained myrrh spice
weave into a nearly creamy smoothness
with a rather light balsamic, instead of a dark resinous labdanum
later, when the sun yields to the moon,
half-dry rose petals rise from the background,
carried by sacred breath,
dancing on the undulating bed of light smoke

everything very finely tuned and blended into a balanced mixture
of bright smoke, warm wood, subtle sweetness, light balsamic spice
and dry flowers
h/s could be more present
but an aura of coziness invites one to indulge in oneself
for me, the smoke could also be a bit more pronounced,
but as it is, it is also well wearable on mild summer evenings
a truly beautiful fragrance
