The green wonder

When I was a teenager I looked forward to the monthly mail order catalog from Oriflame. My mom started to order, and I continued way past my 20th birthday. I recall the pricing to be reasonable and the products to be of good quality. I also remember the bottles to be baby pink, chubby and egg shaped. A golden logo on top. Oh yes, Oriflame was definitely part of my teenage hood.
I bought some of their perfumes but not many. It did not make sense to buy a scent without testing it first. Giordani and Volare were two that my mom bought and I were able to try. I liked both. But it was when I started buying second hand Oriflame’s much later in life that I discovered the high quality of many of the scents from this brand.
Mirage is a great example. Longevity and combination of notes stand out in this one. I bought it for the bottle but when I tried it I was amazed that it smells so nice. The beginning with the orange is gone in a few seconds and after that it does not change a lot, staying rosy-jasmine with a hint of vetiver. But it really works so well on my skin. Sillage is less than an arm’s length.
The bottle is beautiful.
It is sad that Oriflame has discontinued this gem.

My Forest, My Life!

Outside the window, the autumn wind lashes through leaves and branches, dark clouds crowd the sky. I sigh deeply and long to escape, out into nature, yet I remain tethered to my desk and the metropolis. Yes, it is longing that grips me in autumn - the darkly beautiful, copper-tinted season of my heart!

Those who have spent half of their childhood in the forest will understand me. For I can hardly describe it, this magic and seriousness that I cannot even grasp, but can probably only sense.

The forest is a place of enchantment. And "Mirage" is a fragrance that awakens the memory of this magic. Wood and flowers and resin and a spicy sweetness weave "Mirage" into a kind of autumn night dream. Yes, I think of Shakespeare! And I think of blooming clearings in the evening glow, of crackling branches and soft moss, of bustling ant hills and rustling in the underbrush.

"Mirage" doesn’t even smell like a forest. Its scent evokes the memory of a daydream of an enchanted forest. An illusion, truly!

A beautiful illusion ... heavy and balsamic and not at all suitable for everyday life - unless I want to enchant the everyday. A day like today, for example, when I look out the window and my heart aches because I feel like an animal in a cage. For in truth, I belong in the forest, free and wild and with a head full of romantic fantasies.

Snow White in the Splatter Forest

I love fairy tales. To be honest, especially the dark, sinister, and abyssal ones. Less so the happy-ending versions. They are, of course, nice - for children…

Who knows, for example, the tale of the singing little ankle, in which the flute-carved bone of a poor, slain young man accuses his murderer after years?

Or the story of the robber bridegroom, in which a stranger one day courts the beautiful miller’s daughter. When she visits his house in the deep, dark forest, she is warned by an ancient woman that she is in great danger. But it’s too late: noise announces the robber bridegroom and his men. The young woman hides - and witnesses a cannibalistic feast ritual as the band of robbers slaughters a naked young woman.

Or the tale of Allerleirauh, a king’s daughter who was unfortunate enough to resemble her beautiful mother too closely: when the mother passed away, the father desired his daughter. Thus, she was forever on the run from her incestuous-minded father, living in the forest and dressed in furs, like a wild animal.

And then there’s the little-noticed but bestially evil ending of Snow White: at her wedding to the prince, the wicked queen had to dance in red-hot shoes until she fell down dead!

And always alongside are the innocent girls in the deep forest, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and Rose Red, Sleeping Beauty - all always just a hand’s breadth away from death by bears, wolves, wicked stepmothers, or the happiness of life "until the end of their days" with frogs that turn into princes, king’s sons who marry them from glass coffins (by the way, the prince fell in love with a corpse he found so beautiful that he wanted to possess her - let that sink in! So much necrophilia in a children’s fairy tale!) or similarly colorful fates.
What a rich world of images, what abysses!

Mirage is, for me, the scent of this colorful world. The advertisement for Mirage (fr. mirage) already announces a fairy-tale scenario: a young beauty in an enchanted garden holds the key to a mysterious gate in her hands. The bottle is also beautifully sinister: it looks like a little vial from the evil queen’s poison lab.
The contents, however, do not smell like witch’s kitchen poison, but rather balsamic and mysterious: a dense, dark, mysterious odor, certainly heavy, but in an elegant way, sweet and woody, spicy and precious. As white as snow, the bittersweet jasmine joins the noble woods in the dense, dark forest, and as red as blood, the rose shines in the midnight moonlit forest. The elemental resin spreads the spicy aroma of closely standing trees (even if it is not the resin of native conifers, but rather quite exotic broadleaf trees).

I am drawn magically into this forest, and unknowingly to what end I hurry, a fragrant shadow among dreaming trees, towards my fate.
