Wandering Paths of Nutritional Science
A few years ago, a nutritionist appeared on television who dryly commented on the recommendation to spread five smaller meals throughout the day with a sentence like this: “Yeah… no, we’re done with those many small meals. Today we know that blood sugar levels should also drop significantly.”
Surely, countless people had faithfully pinned their blood sugar levels for years, and then this. The guy obviously didn’t even feel ashamed, not a trace of a learning effect (“Today we KNOW…”?).
Although I have never oriented myself by such announcements to the chagrin of my wife, the wise husband still refrains from overly biting sarcasm in such moments. Nevertheless, the information held a chance to finally take the wind out of my wife’s sails one day: At that moment, I decided to simply wait. Some protagonist of this so-called “nutritional science,” a collective search for meandering insights, would one day declare frozen pizza the ultimate. I would save the corresponding article and could present it if needed. The fact that I am still waiting for that doesn’t bother me at all; after all, the caravan of worrywarts has already moved away from fat and towards sugar.
I bring up the topic of nutritional recommendations because the scent derives its name as follows: “KI expresses the concept of fundamental energies of the universe, human mind functions and nature are part of this universal energy.”
Energy? Aha. That would be from the direction whose possibly most famous saying brings tears to the eyes of every nutritionist (and every physicist!): “Mars returns consumed energy immediately.” It’s quite edible, actually. Creamy coconut. A hint of chocolate. Along with something bready, dusty, which I might not have directly associated with sesame - but as a quick supplier of carbohydrates, it certainly works. Regardless of all the gourmand qualities, it doesn’t get too sweet.
Quickly, floral tendencies emerge and pull me away from the carbohydrates. A strangely sour rose. Fungal magnolia fits. Further bright flowers up to a cloyingly white floral aura that narrowly skims past coconut fat for frying in the overall picture. Should another important building block be quickly cited for scientifically sound reasons?
The thought passes by. Caramel takes over (let’s remember: Mars!). At noon, I imagine a hint of green, but hardly do I want to follow up on it, and it’s caramel again. And H-cream-guaiac, I can even smell the tellingly coconut-like palo santo aroma. However, that remains clearly within the bearable range. Soon, a soapy-clean note surprises, gentle and close, yet essentially it remains a mild, caramel-like, unobtrusive sweetness that is pleasant to wear and only develops certain plastic-vanilla-amber symptoms in the progressing afternoon.
As a stroke of luck, it can be said that the interplay with bright, floral remnants and musk creates a distinct sunscreen impression, which now leads to the final anecdotal engagement with the topic of energy. I recall a short comic from an 80s MAD magazine. A couple at the beach. She ponders the incredible perspectives of harnessing the palpable power of the sun, he doubts: “Hmm. I lie in the sun all day and have no spark of energy.”
Conclusion: That I have made plenty of fun of this energy idea does not change the fact that “Ki” is a successful fragrance.
I thank Yatagan for the sample.
