A Love Supreme
A Love Supreme is the name of the most famous recording by jazz legend John Coltrane. The record, recorded in December 1964 and released in 1965, is considered by many experts to be the best jazz recording of all time. Much more than George Gershwin, rather a classical composer after whom this fragrance is named, Coltranes A Love Supreme stands for jazz par excellence. Maria Candida Gentiles Gershwin actually cleverly represents the idea of this music, because improvisation with all its surprising changes of direction is olfactorily depicted here: bitter-sharp Hesperidia in the beginning, change to pepper, almost at the same time bright, sharp incense without sacral components: It's profane here. The biting, maybe a little harsh smell in a basement club.
Waterflower (see Ingredients) is the name given to the wood anemone. The modest little flower is rarely used in fragrances. I wonder what it smells like after maceration or distillation? It will not really assert itself against the louder tones of incense, pepper and citric notes anyway. Neither is Sycamore, the American plane tree. Whatever the case, wood (wind) instruments sound along with it.
For me, the combination of these tones in the heart and base note results in a todays melody, somewhat sharp, but nevertheless fascinating, initially loud, somewhat shrill, then always calmer when the night gets longer.
Whether Gershwin or Coltrane: the scent is something like a solitaire, even if there are so many incense scents in the meantime. At least he does not orientate himself on the mainstream, but tries to go other ways. That deserves respect and pleases. Even if you need time to listen to jazz, especially A Love Supreme
