Landscape Impressions
Macchia and olive groves, gentle vineyards and ripe wheat fields embrace the city of Florence richly.
Not to forget, the vast sunflower fields and the little woods that alternately provide shade with the olive groves.
Here, the summer sunlight is merciless: no breeze, hardly any shade.
Except for the shadows of the cypress trees, drawn in black like silhouettes, the guardians of this landscape.
The air vibrates under the tireless courtship of the numerous cicadas; at times, they can be a bit nerve-wracking.
But as Goethe, who was known to be a wise man, once said: "Happy are the cicadas, for they have silent wives!"
Not polite! No, Mr. Geheimrat, it really isn't!!
But the thought that the female creatures would also be heard: oh, dear!
The landscape in Tuscany lives from rich colors: brown, ochre, yellow, and many shades of green enliven it.
And not to forget: "La terra rossa," the fertile red earth, which reminds us of itself everywhere here.
What a treasure it is, how valuable it is and how valuable it has been through the centuries!
Countless red bricks have been fired from it, from which so many cities of Tuscany were built.
Just think of Siena, the "red city," which even gave its name to a shade.
There stands the tower of the Palazzo Pubblico, "like a lily, whose white stone flowers are on a long red stem; a monument to female purity." (Quote from a novel.)
With these images in mind and in my heart, I approach Ferragamo's composition: will I be disappointed?
A fresh, yet not biting opening of noble citrus fruits presents itself; not surprisingly, it brings with it the magic of roses.
Roses that crown Florence alongside iris and sunflowers.
Roses that seem to pay tribute to the beautiful women of this city, such as Simonetta Vespucci, with their noble aroma.
What would their beauty be without the roses?
What would we women be without roses?
The tree-like guardian of the landscape, the slender cypress, lends its slightly resinous spice to this enchanting entrée; still sun-warmed, it develops its balsamic powers.
Labdanum - no, that must not be missing: the resin of the rockroses, which are found here in abundance and variety. How beautifully everything harmonizes together. What an idyll is already spreading on my skin!
The highlight of this lively fragrance composition follows immediately: patchouli!
Golden brown, earthy, and creamy, it flows along, this fragrance stream that opens the senses and ultimately enchants them.
Golden amber notes and the tastefully presented sweetness of the tonka bean form an adequate accompaniment to this all-dominating scent.
For it is quite clear: patchouli is the undisputed king of this fragrance creation!
It now forms a harmonious whole that enchants heart and soul!
Can one capture the diverse, so fertile landscape of Tuscany in a fragrance?
I would have denied it had I not had the pleasure of getting to know Salvatore Ferragamo's "Terra Rossa."
What a charming monument this grand seigneur, who loved the city of Florence so much, has conjured up here in flacons!
"Terra Rossa," one of the "Tuscan Creations," evokes a gentle and hilly landscape in the light of the late afternoon. Everything seems to be lazily dozing after a long siesta; stretching slowly and breathing a sigh of relief: the scorching sun has turned into a golden warmth.
"Terra Rossa," the red earth of Tuscany: so vibrant, so fragrant!
A fragrant vibration of the area that has produced so much beauty and culture.
Here, a knowledgeable hand with a great passion for art and beauty was at work.
Thus, a fragrance creation was born, as true as the landscape that gives it its name.
This scent impression is well done; it was skillfully crafted in these wonderful, sensual earthy tones and sun-drenched with love for detail.
"Terra Rossa" is a tribute to the landscape and a beautiful fragrance discovery.
It is not only enchanting and charming, it is also very clingy. It remains loyal to me for several hours; the scent flow changes slightly from time to time - becoming quieter, softer; then again heavier, earthier:
I feel how "Terra Rossa" breathes on my skin!
A fragrance that breathes the magic of an entire landscape - how enchanting and at the same time mystical!
