Camino de Azahar Oro Woman NadiaZ 2015

A long time ago, I was young and unmarked and open to everything, when someone invited me to Cambridge, where he was studying.

With the dreamy gaze of my youth, this city was a magical place. Among other things, there was a small alternative café in a winding alley that served real bean coffee and homemade cakes with names like Chocolate Fudge Cake and Treacle Tart.

Partly it was the exotic coffee that fascinated and impressed me, partly the crowds of excitingly intellectual students with their incredibly long wool scarves, but mainly my fascination lay in the fact that apparently a world exists where people spend entire afternoons sitting in a café and talking about books.

Camino de Azahar Oro Woman transports me back to that wonderful place. The coffee is slightly bitter, sweetened with raw cane sugar. The air is warm, inviting, somewhere in a corner a damp duffle coat is steaming on the hook, it is raining... or is it foggy outside? Not important, in here is all that matters: the warmth, the coffee, the conversations, the spirit.

Somewhere in this scent is a bitter and even slightly musty spice note that saves it from banal agreeability. The fragrance remains warm, cozy, inviting, but this musty-bitter note also stimulates. It’s as if one could sit in a café on an autumn afternoon, think about books for hours, and thereby set the world right.
