Wensker was called to a new case; the seahorse group led by Mrs. Hammerhai was innocently practicing swimming in the warm children's pool of the local swimming pool when - fortunately not the children - the corpse of a young man was seen floating in the main pool. Wensker was immediately informed and rushed over with his goofy duo, Schubert and Haller. They were teasing each other as usual, today by throwing pebbles found by the roadside at each other's midsections. Clearly, both had already concluded their plans for offspring. Right from the start, Wensker wrinkled his nose: “Someone really overdid it with the chlorine! It’s so floral, this chlorine!”
“Excuse me, that’s true, but let me introduce myself first: Nui Fuchsnase, I am the owner of the swimming pool and I also chose this formidable, floral chlorine. Made by Michael Matoschka, our in-house gardener.”
“Good day, Mr. Fuchsnase, is that a Frisian accent? Be that as it may, enlighten me. Preferably about the case, not about love matters.”
“Well, I have no idea where the dead man came from. He must have sneaked in here at night. We found beer cans and the Smurf party mix.”
“Hmm...good, let’s secure the evidence.”
“Schubert, what have you found out so far?”
“Well, judging by the footprints, he was either alone or it wasn’t him at all but two one-legged people. Then we would also have the culprits.”
“....Haller, get me the surveillance videos, including from the day before.”
They watched the videos, but Wensker initially noticed that the scent was now leaning more towards an aldehydic aquatic. The initially overwhelming floral elements were tamed, even though the tuberose with its exotic and worldly nature was clearly noticeable. It practically underlined the aquatic, thus opening the fragrance or rather expanding the spectrum of olfactory nuances, enchanting.
“Good, in yesterday's video, it can only be seen that the dead man was already there for a short while, fiddling around with the green elements, and then left, but not without arguing with Matoschka. Maybe we should investigate in that direction, but I have one more question for you two: weren’t you both on sick leave yesterday?”
“Yes, boss!”
“How come you both were happily swaying in the swimming pool yesterday, drinking beer and teasing each other as always?”
“At some point, the pain in my back went away and we could go again, but by then it was too late for work.”
“At 10 o'clock according to the time code? Isn’t that you here, Schaller, with the ladies on your shoulders? So you had back pain, huh? And why are you wearing a thong with the logo of our police from Aicha vorm Wald? We’ll have to clarify that, but now let’s go to Matoschka.”
Meanwhile, the fragrance was very much carried by these rich floral notes, almost becoming too much for Wensker. The piña colada-chlorine mixture intensified, now the coconut peeked out, not a creamy coconut but refreshing and clear, yet olfactorily enhanced. Two extremes, the chlorine and the flowers were connected, and it smelled...yes, extraordinarily well captured. Intense but wearable.
So they drove to Michael Matuschka’s business. He was just discussing something with his employees, a grumpy bald man and the slightly hunchbacked woodsman. For a moment, Wensker had to think of his ex-wife.
“Good day, everyone! Police here, we have a few questions!”
“I confess, it was me!”, shouted the bald man, sobbing like a three-year-old who just had their chocolate bar taken away. “I planted five primroses but calculated six! Take me away!”
“That’s not why we’re here; it’s about the dead man in the swimming pool.”
“Oh, I see. That wasn’t me. That was the...uh, no idea, I don’t know anything, nobody told me anything, I didn’t have to pick anyone up at the swimming pool last night.”
“Spill it! Otherwise, I’ll tear your leather jacket apart as if it were a purple chicken.”
“It was the boss.”
With this hint, they took Matoschka away. With his disappearance, the emanating scent also quieted down, the marine notes, exuding warmth, took over and enveloped everything. In the background, moss was noticeably present.
“What do you have to say in your defense?”
“He wanted to drink all the beer by himself, so I drowned him.”
“That will provide mitigating circumstances; we all get a bit thirstier sometimes,” predicted Haller.
La Piscine reminds one of all the more extreme aquatics, which work with mineral notes and incense. The fragrance is oriented towards the powderiness of Squid paired with the chemical notes of Megamare, only to then fall to a reasonable level in terms of expression. Always accompanied by floral and bright notes reminiscent of other Matos creations like Jungle Jezebel. Overall, in my opinion, a successful aquatic fragrance.
