Summer holiday - Vimmerby - 2010
It's been over 10 years now, but it seems like only yesterday. I was with my first great love and got to spend the summer holiday with her and her whole family in Vimmerby. Since I had at that time just 20 years on the hump, I thought before the start something like "I want to rather go to Spain" or "man... that will be super dull, the Baltic Sea is closer and would have done it".
Gosh, how wrong I was in the end.
So we were on our way to Vimmerby in Sweden by car. This is noted in passing, the birthplace of a rather "unknown writer" is, which has written about a very strong girl with your horse and a small monkey, among other things.
After hours of driving, various stops and what felt like an eternity of waiting, we arrived at the really huge property of the family.
Since I was an absolute city person, which until then at most times on the beach to camp as an experience for a nature adventure, suddenly stranded in the perceived forest wilderness and was completely overwhelmed with it, hit me truly the culture shock!!!!
Around us there was in about 40 km radius neither city, nor supermarket or anything else, only pure forest area and pure (almost) untouched nature.
We slept in a kind of shed, where there was only a very small, uncomfortable bed. But that was not really the first shock for me, well... let's say "spoiled city brat".
When we opened this shed there were about 100 - 200 (one lucky) dead hornets on the floor!!!!
My first thought was, "how am I going to get out of here alive"... ?!
However, once I "caught" myself again, over the next few days I realized for the first time in my life how beautiful pure and innocent nature can be though.
Whether it was the spontaneous sounds of wild larks, or walkways full of dragonflies and butterflies, as well as water snakes and water spiders in the nearest lakes. Even the then also living hornets, which at this place simply continuously around one cruises, have me at the latest after a few days nothing more made out, because it is on the one hand their territory and in the end there was nothing to be afraid of, apart from my allergy, which made itself felt but only years later (a happiness).
In addition to this experience, it was simply the huge forest and the associated green aura that surrounded you throughout (in a positive sense), which has since then let me develop more and more into a nature boy.
In the end, I have my first great love no longer at my side, but for another sparked and the memory of the above-mentioned positive impressions and images can not be taken away from me in the end anyway.
--------------------
To the fragrance itself:
From the first spray, this scent gave me back memories of that exact time. Isn't that crazy? For years I have not had to think about it, but the first moments after spraying on my skin have called me back exactly to that time.
It is in the end certainly the initial effervescence and the mix of the tangerine mixed with the cardamom, which gives one at the beginning just an incredibly tingly and at the same time warm feeling on the skin and in the nose. Since the top note unfortunately fades too quickly in my view, but the actual share comes to light, which awakens the woody memory. It is in this case the larch, the pine cones as well as pine, which give this wonderful green, resinous and almost wet-woody note, which let you mentally put back to such a place.
As an aside, there is for me no comparable or rudimentarily similar fragrance, which makes it even more so special and unique at the same time.
PS: I personally take initially even a slight gin-tonic note was ... is of course not listed, however, it must be due to this tingle, which must have a gin in combination with the chilled tonic water
