Sirio Mendittorosa 2018

like at a fresh, festive polonaise, where couples meet ceremoniously, their figures dance, separate, and then meet again in new and different combinations,
so this fragrance wafts and dances through the nose
rhubarb with apple: fresh, tart, bright
peony with rose: intoxicating, lush, precious
apple with rose: spacious, airy, cool... tenderly warmed by a hint of plum..
peony with rhubarb: playfully spring-like
and gradually, vanilla woods join the dance,
the steps slow down
the plum gets a solo,
rose floats proudly and slowly through the rows of dancers and bows to vanilla
in the background, a subtle cool hint of oud

and then you seem to see them from a greater distance in a circle, sparkling, cool,
delicious, in gentle swaying.

only the rose occasionally shines through...

a rose that I have never smelled so complexly embedded before...
