Mistakes in nutritional science
A few years ago a nutritionist appeared on television, who commented dryly on the recommendation to distribute five smaller meals throughout the day with the following sentence: "Yes...no, we are away from the many small meals. Today we know that the blood sugar level should also fall correctly."

There must have been dozens of people for years trustfully nailed down their blood sugar level and then something like that. The guy obviously wasn't even ashamed, not even a trace of a learning effect ("Today we KNOW..."?).

Although, to the chagrin of my wife, I never oriented myself to such announcements anyway, the wise husband still refuses to make a biting mockery at such moments. Nevertheless, the information contained a chance to finally take the wind out of the sails of my beloved one day: At that moment, I decided to just wait and see. Some protagonist of this collective search game of meandering knowledge, known as "nutrition science", would one day proclaim frozen pizza the ultimate. I would save the corresponding article and could show it if necessary. The fact that I'm still waiting for it doesn't worry me at all, after all, the caravan of doubters has already moved away from fat and towards sugar.

I come to the topic of nutritional recommendations, because the fragrance derives its name from the following: "KI expresses the concept of fundamental energies of the universe, human mind functions and nature are part of this universal energy."

Energy? I see. That would be from the direction whose perhaps most famous saying brings tears to the eyes of every nutritionist (and every physicist!): "Mars brings back consumed energy immediately". Because it's all very edible. Creamy coconut. A chocolate hunch. And something bready, dusty that I might not have directly associated with sesame - but as a quick supplier of carbohydrates, it's always good. Regardless of all gourmandizität it does not become however too sweet.

Anyway, floral changes quickly occur and remove me from the carbohydrates. A strangely sour rose. Mushroom magnolia fits. Further bright flowers up to a pompous white-flowered aura, which in the overall picture with the above-mentioned one scratches by a hair's breadth at coconut fat for frying. Should there be a scientifically founded reason to quickly quote another important building block?

The thought passes. Caramel takes over (we remember: Mars!). At noon I imagine a trace of green, but as soon as I feel it, it's caramel again. And H-cream guaiac, I even smell the treacherous-cooked Palo-Santo aroma. This, too, is clearly bearable. Immediately an accompanying soap-clean-number astonishes, gently and very closely, but essentially it remains with a mild, caramel, unobtrusive sweetness, which is to be carried pleasantly and develops only in the progressive afternoon certain plastic-vanilla-amber-symptoms.

It is a stroke of luck that the interplay of light, floral remains and musk creates a striking sun cream impression, which now leads to the last anecdotal preoccupation with the subject of energy. I can think of a short comic from an '80s MAD book. A couple on the beach. She reflects on the incredible perspectives of using the perceptible power of the sun, he doubts: "Hm. I lie in the sun all day and have no spark of energy."

Conclusion: The fact that I made a lot of fun of this energy idea does not change the fact that "Ki" is a successful fragrance.

I thank Yatagan for the rehearsal.

A savory flavor cotton candy, uncle's talc powder, and a very noble soap. It's a very unique scent what I've never experienced before.
