The Magic Forest
An old man in their tavern told them about a legendary island. An island with citrus groves and a magic forest, evergreen, earthy and sweet. For a long time they have been looking for a fisherman who can take them to the island and today they finally found one. Still in the night they set off and at dawn they stand on the beach of the island.
In front of them rises the forest, not dark, but light and inviting. There is no trace of citrus groves. They've either disappeared or never existed. They push aside the slight disappointment, the coolness of the forest is too inviting.
You go inside and you are truly in a magical place. Giant cedars provide shade. Sandalwood and cinnamon trees are also visible and further back there are fabulous cashmere trees, sweet smelling as described in the legends. An impossible forest and yet real.
But also here, a disappointment. There is nothing green and the ground is not made of earth, but of cedar needles and stones. They go deeper and deeper into the forest in search of the promised miracles. Soon they get lost. It's getting late and they're afraid of missing the fisherman. But suddenly an amber light shines through the trees and shows them the way.
In the setting sun they see the fishing boat coming to pick them up.
A legendary island with a magical forest? Suddenly you're not sure. Have they really experienced all this - or only dreamed it together?
----------
Cedro di Pantelleria is neither particularly fresh nor is it a chypre. It lacks the fresh-citric, flowery or earthy green you would expect. This is a disappointment at first, as the fragrances given sound so beautiful.
But if you get away from these expectations, you will discover a beautiful, slightly spicy woody scent with a sweet amber-musky base. Cashmeran is used a bit too much here, which gives a slightly artificial impression. Nevertheless: warm, cuddly, nothing special, but quite well done. The durability on the skin is bad, maximum 3 hours, on textile it is 5 hours, the weakest Acque di Italia so far...
