Porto Bello Le Couvent 2018

I blink and perceive their outlines
The soon-to-set sun, glowing

Orange, blinds me after I have opened my eyes.
One might feel as if they could squeeze it like a juicy sweet ripe orange.
Now Flora stands smiling in front of me, having brought a Tequila Sunrise.
Flora is lucky to have a father from the Philippines and a mother from Valencia. Accordingly, her appearance and temperament
are not just good-looking, but also deeply warm.
I sit directly at the harbor of Porto Petro
on the terrace of a bar, take the first sip of the Tequila Sunrise and love the scent that the orange at the rim of the glass exudes.
On the table is a candle that Flora has lit.
The oriental scent of incense reaches my nose.
Golden glowing, resinous warm, and so beautifully calming.
I think I will treat myself to a cognac later in the evening when the sun has set.
I enjoy the day in Porto Petro,
In the morning, soaking up some sun at the small bay. The refreshingly cold water in May
Fruits and a bit of salad at noon
In the evening, following the still quiet flow in sleepy Porto Petro
Enjoying some tapas or a bit of Pa Amb Oli and also, like today, a cocktail.
Just before we set off for Porto Petro, I got myself the Porto Bello from Le Couvent and, of course, packed it in my suitcase.

And today, before I made my way to the harbor, I took a few sprays.
Sitting at the harbor, a cocktail in hand, I keep perceiving the Porto Bello

The Porto Bello fits very well in May in Spain

The bitterness of the orange peel blends wonderfully with the warm resinous sweetness of Davana and cognac, which I can't perceive as such.
I perceive the orange for quite a while
The warm resinous scent too.
I find it somehow not very herbal
The sweetness fades more into the background for me
My wife can still perceive it after 5 hours

Le Couvent gets a lot right here

A beautiful, rounded, very elegantly appearing fragrance
A reasonable longevity
A good price and for me, a great noble bottle in black.
