About knowledge and the universe
I would like to take you on a journey today. A journey to the source, to nothingness, to pure darkness. Into a world where we realize that we know nothing. That we are only a very small part of something incomprehensibly big.
I have always found the exploration of the universe very exciting. As a young child, I often looked up at the night sky and counted the stars. At night, it was quiet and dark. Somehow I always liked that. Even today, I like to go for another walk at night, sort out my thoughts and enjoy peace and quiet. The older I got, the more intensely the big questions of existence occupied me. Where do we come from? What is the meaning of our existence? What else is there to discover in this infinite, black space? Numerous films further shaped my interest. Classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey come to mind. A breathtaking film that was way ahead of its time. However, at my age at the time, I couldn't really understand many things. I do today, though. However, I will never forget the premiere of the movie "Interstellar", which I was allowed to enjoy in the cinema as a teenager. This film has shaped me like hardly any other. Never before have I been taken visually and emotionally on such a breathtaking journey into the universe.
(At this point, a quick recommendation to anyone who has never seen the film. Well worth it!)
With this little excursion, I want to set you thematically on the journey Gyan took me on. "Gyan, [is] a Sanskrit word meaning "divine wisdom"," according to the Bvlgari website. I think this word actually describes the fragrance character perfectly. The fragrance is dark, magical, jet black, yet transparent, calm and appealing. It doesn't play with fireworks of notes, but is aware of its simplicity. "In simplicity lies beauty", according to an ancient proverb. And that applies exactly here.
I can't even describe exactly what I smell. This is definitely not a revelation of natural fragrances or expensive and exotic ingredients. But the scent is so coherent, introspective and balanced that I couldn't care less. All three of the aforementioned scents are perceptible, but yet it's so much more. It starts off very fresh, kind of metallic. The base reminds me of the kindred Tygar. But Gyan seems much more interesting with its dark, slightly smoky and floral aspects. The scent is airy - floating even - but always present. The bottle is thematically very appropriate, reminiscent of a space artifact with its stature and color. Deep black color with blue gemstone. Hardly any other fragrance manages to bridge the gap between interesting DNA and extremely pleasing basic theme like Gyan. An absolute nose flatterer.
If Cooper in Interstellar had worn a fragrance in the scene when he travels through the black hole, there are few more fitting than Gyan.
Pole of Tranquility - Silence - Darkness - Weightlessness - Fascination
