"Tell me that you will at least try": SALVIA or the power of sage
Before it is Advent, I would like to remind you of an old song. I play it at the moment on the piano and I like it very much. I think many of you know it: Scaborough Fair.
I looked it up on Wikipedia. I think it was written in the 16th or 17th century.
It is about a former lovers who now set themselves mutually insoluble tasks in order to become a couple again. The last verse points out that it is not a question of fulfilling the tasks; it is the attempt to face them that counts. Translated into German the last verse is called:
If you say you can't, I'll answer:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Tell me you'll at least try Or you'll never be my favorite
The herbs all have a symbolic meaning, their mention is associated with the desire for mildness, so that the bitterness in the relationship is alleviated (parsley), for emotional strength, for the time when the former couple is separated (sage), for fidelity, to stay together even when both are alone (rosemary), and also for encouragement, so that both do the "impossible things" (thyme). This is the hope and longing that the impossible will be possible. And this is how I feel in the present situation Yes, I am certain that it is right to make an effort to change not only the current corona situation, but also many more things that are crooked, sick, mean, dishonest etc. among us.
At what level exactly and with what success is ultimately less important.
Something should be done at all levels: personal, neighbourly, regional, political...
It is crucial for me to keep realigning my compass needle to that which - as far as I can see - is healing and leads to good living together, even in a future in which I no longer live at all.
- End of the word to Sunday -
The fragrance "Salvia" can make a truly healing, positive contribution in the above context.
As already mentioned, sage ( -this is what the ancient herbology wants- ) gives power.
We need a lot of strength at the moment to survive separations.
Therefore "Salvia" is for me THE fragrance for the time of lockdown and painful separations.
"Salvia" came out in 2020. - and it's "just what the doctor ordered."
The sage note can be smelled very clearly, it was underlaid with a potpourri of green and woody notes. A medicinal impression is present and remains in the fragrance, but this is certainly intended.
From my point of view, there is nothing more to say about the fragrance itself.
By the way, I really like the presentation and the bottle.
"The Olfactive Pharmacy" from the home of Eau de Colognes - a good, new contribution to the fragrance landscape from Cologne!
