Urla the Sami
The old woman's days were long numbered.
In her dwelling, which she affectionately called Jurtje, furs and leather blankets,
blackened by soot from the constantly burning fire, protected her from the incessant cold.
The ravages of time had long since claimed them as their own.
They still exuded the smell
of the animals whose bodies they once clothed.
Hanging down from the ceiling was the club
of their only remaining reindeer.
It had not been easy for her to
the last companion in this wasteland
to sacrifice.
She looked there silently and remembered
the times they had spent together.
The brew of the birch trees bubbled in the kettle
over the fire and her tears filled
the room.
The smoke and the smell of tar
put her into a twilight sleep
and into the realm of the spirits.
Slender birch girls danced
around her and their heads were
adorned with tinkling delicate leaves.
They sang songs of summers past, when their roots still
reached the cooling nourishing wetness.
The old woman sank deeper and deeper into the earth
down.
In gentle spirals she slid through
Layer after layer of the earth's interior.
Shadows appeared and
disappeared again disappeared again.
Faces of those she knew
knew and loved all too well
and who now seemed to her as if cast in resin
appeared to her Beings that she had encountered on her long
Journey through life
and who had long since
had spread their wings.
At some point, she had the feeling that she had
to have arrived.
She felt her heart pulsating
and a never before experienced all-encompassing
Warmth spread through her body.
Boundaries dissolved.
Was it still her body at all that
she felt there or was it a thing of the past?
She did not know.
Warm-hearted roses bedded her and
gratefully caressed her wandering soul.
She had the feeling of being at home.

Antonio Lasheras and his Mallo label have made it their mission to
within a project to produce fragrances in small batches with selected natural raw materials.
His vision is to use fragrances to store or recall memories in order to enable a connection to our origins.
I really like his concept and am
excited to see what else will come from him
will come.
Far from being able to recognize and decode fragrances in their individual notes, nuances and manifestations,
this fragrance has nevertheless managed
to burn itself into my heart
and write my first review.
Fragrances are always revealed to me
in images and in my imagination
of them, I try to describe them.
Thank you for reading!
