Trail of the Talking Grounds
Wandering dream bubbles. Meandering colors. Quietly the landscape flows. In slow motions. Winds the creep over weaving soaps. Moss is soaked. Salt-rimmed the paths. Tobacco-leaved the evening flowers. Incense scatters remnants of light from all the dawning suns. Last traces of foliage. Cooling earths. Pepper dusts. Aniseed-black barks. Covered in fennel-green lichen. The bitter sting of the thymes. Snow crystals of shimmering mints. On the glassy roots that become woody wools, yarns of smoke waft into the mist. We listen to the tongue of the soils.

Alejandro Acosta's multimedia oeuvre encompasses many areas. Painting in particular has made him famous worldwide. He lives and works in Barcelona, where he also creates what he calls olfactory sculptures. Fragrances as artistic creations open paths into the past and create doors from which the person who takes the fragrance into their life can create new memories and experiences that escape the artist, he writes on his homepage.
"El Indiano" initially creeps along light, slightly soapy musky-floral trails, then there is damp moss (patchouly), incense-like sandarac resin with very subtle fruity notes, a subtle hint of salty ambergris, but above all there are shimmering light green drops of mild mint and tart fennel. Thyme adds a tart, needle-like pinpoint over a moist tobacco note, somewhere between blossom and light leaf. Gradually, the pungency of the herbs and spices (pepper, cardamom) becomes more perceptible on a rather woody-earthy, barely smoky Java vetiver. It all seems quite subtle and very harmonious, developing from a rather moist and liquid state to a cool and misty one, in the course of which the individual notes become more or less apparent.
