Tea break during a bike tour
As is well known, I have a very disturbed relationship with the Atlantic Ocean: the constant wind damages my health and so a medical "Atlantic ban" was issued.
You shouldn't have: Who volunteers to go into areas that are not good for them?
Even with the strong maritime scents I always ask the question I first asked here at "Olympéa": "Do I like you or do I not like you?"
And yet my curiosity always lets me follow the scent path of temptation: now it is "Osmarine" by Officina delle Essence, which tries to lure me into windy, sunny and fragrant fields and to convince me of itself.
"Osmarine" tells me about a bicycle tour on one of the impressive cliff paths in Cornwall: Mrs Pilcher sends her greetings once again - I hereby send my greetings back!
The cycle paths there, according to what I saw in a TV documentary (yes, I see something like that!), are well maintained and offer impressive views of the sea, rocks and small sandy beaches - and it is very windy there!
The sea is moving and lets white foam horses ride on its wave crests. They both seem to enjoy it; you can almost hear them cheering!
A very lively breeze rustles playfully in the high ruffled palm trees; the tall grass, interspersed with robust plants, dances in the wind.
It is a swing out of habit: in motion is everything here!
The seagulls refine this vital dance; they scream with pleasure and always keep an eye on whether there is a bite for them - it could be!
The air is filled with the living sea: salt, minerals, seaweed and all that the wind brings with it.
But even the most leisurely bike tour requires a rest. And now, in the opinion of "Osmarine", the time has come
A picnic blanket, much used and beloved, is spread out and weighed down in knowledge of the wind on all four corners: the basket with the small snack is placed on one of them.
A large thermos flask contains aromatic osmanthus tea; this tea with the special scent, which is obtained from flowers of tea hybrids that bloom only one night.
Its taste is somewhat special, always a bit dull and strange. I like him a lot!
A large bowl full of juicy raspberries and some sun-ripened sweet oranges are unpacked, thus weighing down the blanket that keeps rearing in the wind.
The mugs, full of still hot tea, small bowls with a hint of bergamot scented raspberries, meanwhile covered with a yellow-white vanilla cream cap, smell promisingly and mix with the spicy wind from the Atlantic Ocean to an invigorating fruity fresh melange.
Now the sweet oranges have also been peeled and release their fruit sweetness generously.
Hair and clothes flutter in the wind; we are here in Cornwall, the sun is shining and light white clouds are aimlessly on their eternal journey to nowhere.
A large bouquet of white jasmine, picked in a village, lies almost forgotten on the edge of the ceiling: the ripe, still tart scent of this white-flowering plant gives this maritime impression a special note.
"Osmarine" is fruity and fresh, yet slightly spicy; the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean has been dominant from the beginning.
But so that this fragrance is not immediately blown away by the wind, clever fragrance craftsmen added well measured tins of musk and the light earthiness of patchouli.
So "Osmarine" not only paints sunny green spice directly on the Atlantic Ocean, but also connects this very airy aromatic spirit with the earth.
For every lover of the Atlantic coast and the very special spice of water, sun, wind and life, "Osmarine" is certainly a pleasant change from the large circle of his siblings.
Salt on the skin, spicy tea aroma, fruit and sensual bottom: what more could you want?
I find this fragrance entertaining, but it is also too restless for me - too "windy"!
His strong vitality runs over me a bit and reminds me why I should stay away from this area.
For this airy swirl of fragrance, "Osmarine" is relatively long-lived; leaves me with only slightly aromatic salt to finish off.
So I thank "Osmarine" for this nice trip to the coast of Cornwall with the vivid impressions.
But this bottling is allowed to travel further and may find someone who appreciates the wide embrace of the ocean more than I can.
Farewell, Osmarine!
