Venetian Goods VI: Balm for the Soul

I buy an expensive, soothing balm made from the finest natural raw materials that come to Venice via trade routes. It treats any form of discomfort and has an extremely sensual scent.

The erotic heaviness must be attributed to a refined rose extract combined with animal secretions. The floral animality presents itself here as soft and velvety yet cool. The oud forms a balsamic-medical triad with oily resins and moist patchouli, which harmonizes wonderfully with the heart note. A beautiful note of cedarwood gradually joins in.

The combination of soft, bodily notes and almost alcoholically sterile balsamic notes initially feels somewhat strange. However, as a successful balance is achieved here, everything comes together to form an interesting and quite beautiful fragrance composition.

The rose would be the first thing that bothers me on this journey.
