the forgotten treasure
How long had the old wooden chest been standing there, covered in a finger-thick layer of dust, while spiders spun their imaginative webs around it?
Who had packed it, carefully assembled its contents, and then never sent it?
Who waited in vain for the herbs, flowers, and spices they had ordered?
If the roof of the old trading house had not become leaky, no one would have found this old chest in the corner of the upper floor of the old warehouse.
What a surprise awaited the senses upon opening it:
Time, at its great loom, has skillfully and patiently woven a harmoniously spicy carpet from the various fragrance notes.
Patience is one of time's strengths; I wish I had more of it!
A lot of patience and craftsmanship were surely necessary to create such an opulent and simultaneously balsamic fragrance composition from the variety of herbs, woods, flowers, and resins.
Everything is intricately intertwined, woven, and grown together.
That is why it is almost impossible, and actually not necessary, to make the usual classification into top, heart, and base notes.
Of course, we can assign bergamot, sage, clary sage, geranium, and juniper berry with their familiar, fresh-spicy aromas to the top note.
But these already cross the threshold to the heart note, where the beauty of the intensely fragrant white jasmine is already waiting for them: they embrace each other lovingly!
But then the complex fabric of the fragrance notes reveals itself: woody, resinous-smoky, and balsamic, the components show themselves, and like in a skilled weaving, it is almost impossible to separate a thread/a fragrance note: the transitions are too fine, the fragrance progression is too skillfully intertwined.
Warm-spicy and slightly animalistic, aromatic and simultaneously balsamic - this is how "Wazo" presents itself on my skin!
Various resins in their full smoky beauty are accompanied by creamy white vanilla, which together with opoponax (the resin of Aphrodite) symbolizes the presence of the goddess: her warm sensuality is clearly palpable.
She entices and calls, flatters and excites: the senses are awakened!
Coffee spiced with cinnamon flirts with warm musk; a fine finale, which lays like a net over everything, is woven.
Rich and complex, "Wazo" envelops me; Meggi already knew why he sent me a sample of this fragrance creation.
It is a sensory experience when the multifaceted development of all these fragrance notes presents itself on the skin; the extraordinarily long-lasting nature allows for their full unfolding over a long period.
A work of art emerges, forming a harmonious whole from many individual parts.
To unite so many different fragrance notes into a harmonious choir is an art that Isabelle Michaud has convincingly achieved in the name of Monsillage.
I owe these fragrant experiences to a fragrance friend who believes in me more than I believe in myself.
Thank you, Meggi: you have given me something very beautiful with this sample!
Mysterious spice that warmly envelops me!
