Of the myths and legends of Sardinia
If you take a look at my collection you will notice that there are mainly fragrances with autumn/winter orientation. This is not due to the fact that I like the cold seasons so much (on the contrary: if it were up to me, spring and summer would alternate constantly), but to the fact that I have simply not found any summery scents so far that would let me go to my knees in ecstasy.
This has changed with the discovery of Coros. At this point many thanks to Ergoproxy who left me this sample.
The brand Acqua die Sardegna, little known in this country so far, was founded in 2008 by Mauro Aprea, after he had previously moored as commander of a ship in Alghero - Sardinia, fell in love with the island and the idea of capturing the history of Sardinia on the basis of the element that was closest to him: water.
Various lines were created (Klassik, Maijda and Scalo Porto Cervo) to enable visitors to Sardinia to take home some of the impressions they had gained. Crystal clear seawater whose surf strikes the cliffs of the rocks overgrown with broom, the smell of white myrtle at dawn of a new day, lush saffron on the milky fields of the hinterland, fig leaves on the narrow paths interspersed with woody aromas along untouched beaches with their typical smell of seaweed. While each of these lines goes its own way, they all have in common to capture the mysterious beauty of Sardinia.
This is also expressed in the design of the flacons. While the containers themselves are supposed to remind one of a sea wave, the lids are supposed to evoke associations with a bollard in the harbour to which the ships are attached.
The new "Sandalia Luxury Collection" line created in 2017, which also includes the fragrance Coro discussed here, is the spearhead of Acqua di Sardegna's fragrances, also in terms of price. A line which tells of the mysterious myths and legends of Sardinia, the fall of the fairies (Domus de Janas), prehistoric tower buildings (Nuraghe) and the Obsidian valley (Monte Arci), whose black colour of the semi-precious obsidian is found in the colouring of the bottles of this line.
The fragrance Coros refers to the prehistoric rock tombs Domus de Janas (houses of the fairies) from the time of the Ozieri culture about 5 - 6 thousand years ago. Legend has it that fairies, sheltered by fig trees between cistus and mastic bushes, told secrets and spun gold threads that are symbolically depicted on the front of the Coros bottle.
Coros opens with gentle hesperidias that are less reminiscent of a typical citrus attack than of opening a window of the beach house when the morning sun blows the aromas of the surrounding Mediterranean vegetation through the window with its first warmth. In addition the humid surf of the sea which in its turn is able to strengthen the fresh impression.
Already after a short time the typical green and unsweet smell of figs appears, whereby I can hardly distinguish fruit and leaf olfaktorisch. I like that very much, the smell of figs has only become conscious and familiar to me through this hobby. The fig processed here shows itself in an uncanny creamy facet embedded in a delicate green fruit sweetness. The resins mentioned in the heart note with their quite citric, but also spicy peppery aromas complement the fig perfectly to create the above-mentioned image of a Mediterranean landscape. This fresh spring-like impression now remains for hours until Coros ebbs away in the sensual and musky perception of ambrette and very light patchouli.
The bottle and especially the fragrance look very noble and valuable. You can feel the quality of the ingredients. Here no bad synthetic bites (synthetic is not bad per se!), but the happy moments are produced, when you - arrived on holiday - finally make the first course to the seashore, suck in the fresh and unusual Mediterranean air of the surroundings and unite all the impressions. Vacation captured in a bottle.
Now that I've found a perfect summer fragrance for myself in Coros (a bottle was already allowed to move in with me), I'll probably have to get to grips with this interesting brand in order to make my collection more balanced with regard to the seasons. Anyway, the odds are not bad. After well over a thousand tested fragrances, finally an olfactory experience in a class of its own again. I'm thrilled.
