In My Grandfather's Garden
My maternal grandfather was a big, silent man who loved his garden above all else. Alongside numerous (fruit) trees and flower beds, potatoes, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, and other delicacies grew on the over 1000 sqm. He even created a small fire pit in one corner of the garden. Here, he would occasionally smoke a cigar, which officially no one in our declared non-smoking family knew about, but no one ever "ruined" it for him. Speaking of maggots, they had an excellent field of activity on the large compost heap, which we children only approached when our resolute grandmother asked us to bring compostable kitchen waste there. Especially in spring, the air of this paradise was filled with floral scents. The perfume Jacinthe from the Russian niche brand Myropol is like a time machine that transports me years back to the garden of my now-deceased grandparents.
Jacinthe is already in full bloom at the outset; I involuntarily associate the color purple/violet when I sniff it right after spraying. Alongside the hyacinth, I smell other bright flowers and a slightly sharp accent at the beginning. Sharp?! Yes, sharp and very, very lightly leaning towards glue, which is probably due to the use of ozonic and indolic notes. This slightly sharp scent also exists in "real" hyacinths in full bloom, as I learned during my explorations in Grandpa's garden.
After a few minutes, Jacinthe becomes softer and develops into a rounded bouquet - always with a fresh and spring-like grace. I can only sense vanilla and cinnamon; they support the lush flowers and distinctly perceivable green notes more than they stand out.
Jacinthes' lush bouquet is carried by a base of musk and resinous styrax. These accords also feel very "natural," which I am trying to express: the scent consistently embodies a very unpretentious, elemental character. This is also what catapults me on this beautiful time travel to my grandparents' garden, a journey that, thanks to Jacinthe's good longevity, does not end too quickly.
