Circles
My path winds through a forest, bedded on soft moss, dense trees with branches from which lichen hangs like veils. As the thinning canopy of leaves brightens the forest, my gaze falls on an old Romanesque church carved out of rough stone. The closer I get to this building, which borders on a ruin, the stronger the smell becomes.
Contrary to expectations, it is a light scent. It mingles with the depth of old writings, cold stonework, incense and the finest resins.
Curious and cautious, I push open the creaking door of the masonry. A large, bare room opens up. Empty, dark, pervaded by the coolness of centuries-old walls. In the dim light, I recognize an armchair at the opposite end. I breathe in the air, slowly, and walk towards it. With a mixture of unease and interest, I notice that I am not alone.
An old man is sitting in the armchair. A long beard, dull eyes, an absent look. So as not to startle him, I gently touch his shoulder as if to wake him from his stupor.
Suddenly I feel something behind my chest as if a force is reaching for me, pulling me through the eye of a needle and dragging me along.
The place where I wake up is bright. The moments in the cool, damp church seem distant, as if from another world.
And there it is again: that scent. Just like this place, delicate green light mingles with rays of orange resin. An incredibly clear, bright note, penetrating and still. The mixture of the colors green and orange in fragrance form.
The space around me is luminous, filled with rays, without beginning, without end. Time dissolves. I remain. I breathe.
As I lose myself, silence grows within me. When I feel the cold creeping into my skin again, I am already there. In the empty cathedral. In this armchair. I look down at my hands, they are old.
The door creaks open and he enters.
Diamonitrium opens with a bright, refreshing lime note. Resinous and incense-like accents soon follow, blending harmoniously with the citrus freshness. There are subtle nuances of candle wax, old paper and the cool atmosphere of an old wall. The combination of fresh and darker notes really impressed me, simply beautiful. The projection is rather subtle, but the longevity is impressive. The green freshness also remains perceptible almost throughout.
