Soulmate
Do you know that feeling? You see, hear, read, or smell something that makes you feel connected from the very first moment. A painting that enchants and captivates you as if you were a part of it. A song that touches the heart so deeply that it feels like it might burst with emotion. A story so moving and real that you can feel the pain and joy of the characters deep within yourself. A fragrance that storms and conquers the soul with all its molecules, as if that were its only purpose.
Lew Nikolayevich Count Tolstoy, known as Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, is my soulmate when it comes to literature. His major works, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are classics of the realistic novel. Personally, I prefer other works even more, as I devour every word of "A Marriage in Letters." On numerous pages, you can witness his correspondence with his wife Sofya during their fifty-year marriage, which reveals their emotional world, their affection as well as their differences, in an absolutely detailed and always respectful manner. It is not uncommon for his works to contain individual sentences that stretch over several lines or even half a page. And yet, they are so emotionally gripping and attractively crafted that I never felt overwhelmed or burdened by them. On the contrary. Through the lovingly detailed and so realistically described events and impressions, he manages to place me in the story as if I were sitting right next to him while he writes. I see what he sees, I smell what he smells, I feel what he feels. I look at him in disbelief time and again and feel within me this wonder, admiring and simultaneously questioning. Just as I keep asking myself how a completely foreign person can manage to touch another so deeply with words, as if he knows him like only that person can.
Why am I telling you this?
Because I have found a soulmate in fragrances in Absolute Amethyst by Thalia Sodi. Here too, I question the creation and the process, the journey from thought to fragrance, and how on earth a complete stranger can create a scent that can put another in a state of greatest amazement. How does one manage to harmonize different fragrance notes so that they ultimately embody my essence in fragrance form?
Even with the first spray, I need a tissue. Tears flow like clockwork. Deep emotions, moved and overwhelmingly boundless. The first note carries a slightly herbal-spicy scent, like that found in some cough drops. Not medicinal or at most minimally so, but rather comforting, benevolent, and soothing. Even here, an incredible warmth hovers. The first color I perceive is dark green, as often seen in tourmaline. Translucent yet strong enough to be a distinct shade. After a few moments, however, the fragrance transforms, and the final color amethyst is ultimately absolutely fitting. This "fragrance stone" has a mystical heart, kept beating by its dark-blooded dahlia, sweet almond blossoms, and a high-quality, rich, and velvety vanilla orchid. It beats evenly and calmly. It is a soothing scent to my perception. Very relaxing and "down to earth."
Then comes the crowning touch. With the addition of tonka and here the absolute, which is even deeper and more sensual, along with the noticeable splash of tequila, the fragrance water transforms into a cotton-soft, warming, completely self-contained, and sensual aroma cocktail with a vanilla stick for lost-in-thought stirring. Somehow, I am completely blown away. Here are some of the notes I love in fragrances, but that somehow no one has packed into a single scent. Thalia Sodi's perfumer has skillfully managed to create such an elixir that at least covers one of my essences. I look forward to seeing who develops the others...
The sillage of this fragrance is quite powerful, but its calm nature does not disturb. The longevity is top-notch. I would place it in all seasons except for midsummer; perhaps the sweet and rich tones would be too overwhelming then. This scent should feel comfortable in warm to cool temperatures and show its prowess, as it has plenty of warmth to give off.
“There are people who call a piece of land ‘Mine’ and have never seen or set foot on that land. People do not strive in life to do what they think is good, but rather to call as many things ‘Mine’ as possible.” Quote by Leo Tolstoy.
So I gladly admit: I am one of them.
For I sought to call Absolute Amethyst by Thalia Sodi "Mine"...
