My Mother Peeled in My Oasis
My first comment here and should it be a complete bust?
Well, not quite.
A few years ago, I stumbled upon Parfumo, collected all sorts of samples, and held everything possible under my nose - almost inhaled it. Always in the back of my mind, I could hear my former chemistry teacher saying, "We fan scents to ourselves."
Well, not quite.
Ignoring my chemistry teacher, I rummaged through my collection and found Profumum Roma's Ichnusa. And what did I do? I saw, I took, I inhaled. And there I was, catapulted into another world.
Well, not quite.
I was still sitting on the sofa. But as soon as I smell Ichnusa and close my eyes, I find myself in an oasis. I smell grass - so juicy and green. I smell exotic plants, and in the distance, I sense the sea.
This top note unfortunately doesn't last long for me. But even then, I simply feel secure with this scent. The grass becomes slightly smoky/woody, a bit more masculine. At the same time, a sweetness emerges, so soft and balanced that it is also wearable by men.
I must honestly admit that I tested this scent years ago, in search of a fragrance that would transport me to the sea. That's how it is with wanderlust.
Did it succeed?
Well, not quite.
Back then, I thought, "God, what a sensational opening." That was it, though; I didn't engage with it enough. This comment changed that, and I am grateful for this decision. At that time, I found this scent a bit overwhelming, couldn't say what it was, and packed it back into the drawer. Even today, I'm not sure; the note is still there, but
strangely enough, it no longer bothers me.
Well, not quite.
There are still people who are bothered by it. As luck would have it, my mother smelled the scent on me that day and simply replied, "What kind of muck do you have on? It smells like toilet cleaner."
Well then, so that is my oasis. No sea. More like a overgrown backyard in the heart of Naples. And apparently, someone has done their business on the house wall.
Well, not quite.

Well, not entirely.
