Work and vacation in liquid form

Oh, a fragrance without any back and forth, without any frills. A clear line; a common thread? Absolutely. However, the clear line is rather matt and the red thread consists more of brown tones. Light brown, dark brown, shiny streaks. That's a rough first impression.

The start catapults me into work. Work? Yes, actually, and it's not bad at all. More precisely, it catapults me into the "dust room". The tea room. I work passionately in a pharmacy. I often make Swedish herbs there. I weigh out 0.2g of saffron - the star of the recipe. Not just because of the price. Bright orange and dark red threads in the small, white tin. Once opened, this super characteristic fragrance unfolds. Everyone knows it. This is exactly how Cappadocia smells for about 2 minutes. Authentic, dry, cool saffron. Breathe, close your eyes. Collect impressions.
You can switch off briefly when making tea. Thanks to the different smells, it's a mini vacation for the mind. A short trip to Cappadocia? With pleasure. But then it's better to drink tea there instead of making it.
After this short saffron trip to the pharmacy, it's time for a vacation for the head, for the senses. What follows is a smooth symphony of soft, fluffy and buttery notes. I'm really addicted to this fantastic base. Vanilla and incense set the tone in my eyes. The two harmonize in perfect symbiosis. Accompanied by the most beautiful, creamy sandalwood. Cozy and sexy at the same time. A tribute to tranquillity, to enjoyment, to perception. To pause for a moment. I have rarely had such a calm and balanced fragrance under my nose. Everything is just right here. Nothing is too much and nothing is too little. I love it. It makes me relax and dream. I would like to visit this place, which was unknown to me until now. It feels a bit like I was there for a short time! I wish I had.

A small sentence about the longevity and sillage: this treasure easily lasts 8 or 9 hours on me and radiates a present but delicate fragrance. This is also just right for me.

A little anecdote at the end: I asked my husband "what do you think of when you hear Cappadocia?" He didn't even look at me and said "Cappuccino!"..... Well, we've sorted that out too!

Cappadocia, here I come!
