Description
As you lose yourself between the azure blue of the Mediterranean and its fringes of impenetrable scrub and sun-drenched undergrowth, with the rhythm of the waves in your ears, you may suddenly catch a delicious fresh and slightly honeyed scent, transporting you into a world of serenity, lightness, balance and renewed energy. On closer inspection, you realise that you are being assailed by the astonishing scent of an inconspicuous creeping plant covered in tiny white flowers: sarsaparilla – that favourite plant of the little blue smurfs, as those who retain the wild inner garden of their youth will recall.
This delightful wander through a kaleidoscope of verdant hues and panoply of textures, whether smooth or delicately rough like the infinite variety of foliage that nature offers to the nostrils and the touch, initially follows a multi-faceted trail of Galbanum, here in EO, simultaneously green and vegetal, white and watery, slightly herbaceous, woody and earthy. Along the way, the green, sparkling tonality gives way to a few spicier, sunnier hints, with exotic touches of almond, but without being sugary.
This deeply synaesthetic stroll creates an olfactory illusion of soft lime blossom, of contemplation of blue sky and notes of raw peas as one admires a rich kitchen garden bordering a vast mown lawn. This incense with its complex fragrance reveals a treasure map: a sensation of crystalline freshness, vibrant, almost mineral, dynamic, conveying serenity and well-being: a bubble of poetic joy.
