Reiterstube
Riding rooms can be found in almost every horse stable and they have their very own charm and special smell. When I started riding in the nineties, there was still smoking in riding stables. Some had vending machines, often you could make coffee and usually they had older leather furniture. I remember wooden floors, often quite worn and somewhere in the corner was a tiled stove.
If a tournament visit or a ride in the group stood to a special cause, usually on the eve of the spectacle the horses were prepared, particularly cleanly cleaned and afterwards one cleaned saddles, bridles as well as the leather riding boots. After everything had been cleared of the traces of daily riding, oil or grease with beeswax extract was applied to the leather, which not only cared for it, but also provided a beautiful shine and made the steed and rider shine when they made their grand entrance.
A sniff of Mane catapults me immediately into such a cosy riding room. And there were definitely saddles and boots cleaned and greased that day. Because next to the tiled stove, the old seating furniture, the worn wooden floor and the cold smoke of the cigarettes, I clearly sniff leather care balsam from the equestrian sports supply. The good and expensive grease that smells so nice and vanilla in the back. Today I was thinking of my riding badge exams when I was young or the legendary New Year's Eve ride on the favourite farm of my childhood. I also had to think of the first tournaments. And of the many beautiful hours with friends of many years as well as new acquaintances, who also went in and out on these farms and the Reiterstube. I think of my former riding instructors. All of them different characters. Almost all of them were heavy smokers. But my thoughts are also of ice-cold fingers and feet in winter and the nice feeling of slowly getting warm again by the tiled stove and feeling safe.
Mane is for me quite far from a classic perfume, but manages to activate many of my memories again. A fragrance for the sniffing cloth, not necessarily to wear, but still somehow beautiful. Homely. Warm. A piece of childhood.
Since the scent is very intense, I recommend just applying a droplet and letting that sink in. Childhood romance guaranteed.
Dear thanks to Susan for the test opportunity.
