What's a black swan? - For me
For weeks, or months I read statements and comments on this fragrance.
I very rarely compare fragrances, consider each for itself, including this.
I read here:
Missed the point...
This swan is not black, it's white...
Too nice for dark sprinklers...
Harmless...
Meaningless floral scent...
That may be true, for each individual tester..
But missing the point?
What is black swan, and what is it to me?
In mythology, a black swan symbolizes mischief, impurity, the dark, in fact.
But why? - Because of fear, ignorance, fear of people in the past.
There are indeed black swans, the mourning swans,
but only their plumage is black, they are not unclean, they bring no harm.
There are also white swans, they are born with dark feathers, but when they grow up,
their feathers are white as snow.
They are just as pure and proud as other swans.
And that's what the 'Black Swan' symbolizes to me.
It shines with mesmerizing beauty for me.
The swan makes its way across the lake in perfect tranquility....
Silence surrounds him...
At the moment when I carry him,
the fresh citrus-milk note at the beginning
a cold Russian winter...
the lake is almost frozen over,
everything is covered in snow,
gently and quietly snowflakes trickle down on the swan...
Deepest winter....beautiful.
But the cold does not disturb the swan,
for he spreads a warmth of his own with his soft powderiness,
that melts the ice beneath him.
Gentle woodiness of the frost-covered trees around him.
A hint of blooming flowers in spring is in the air.
For me, this ugly duckling
has become a beautiful white swan
in a scenery, like in a fairy tale, which enchants.
One of the most beautiful fragrances I own,
and am proud to have him.
