The freestyle
She calmly goes through her routine again while ironing her gleaming white competition blouse. The ironing water smells delicate, light and clean. This flowery scent fills her nose as she thinks again about where she needs to concentrate in order to give herself and, above all, her mare confidence.
Just an hour ago, she had prepared everything in the stable. The saddle and double bridle are polished to a high shine, just like her leather boots. She still has a subtle scent of leather in her nose. There is also a hint of the sweetish shine spray that she used to give her mare the finishing touches after plaiting her mane and tail.
But looks aren't everything. It all comes down to fractions of a second to make the freestyle perfect. Once she arrives at the venue, she leads her mare into the warm-up arena. Many of her fellow competitors are already in the middle of their preparations. The horses are nervous. They also seem to have understood what is important. They are sweating and puffing out their nostrils. There are horse droppings on the ground here and there. She strokes the freshly washed white saddle pad again, which exudes the scent of fabric softener under her mare's sweat. She presses her nose into the fur on the mare's neck, as if she wants to make a connection through the scent. Then she mounts and rides off at a relaxed pace.
The pair do not yet know whether the freestyle will be a success and they will take home a ribbon. But they are a unit and enjoy the moment when the bell finally rings in the arena and they are allowed to ride in.
Show preparations. Show jumping. My association with Giacobetti's dzing, which I actually like much, much better than I had expected. There is certainly a slightly sharp leather note for my nose and a lot of animalism, but everything is integrated into an almost flowery white, delicate fragrance that can be worn at any time. From the competition blouse to the fabric softener, the boots and the shine spray to the horse apples, there is so much that is familiar here and it makes me smile.
The day has come, Mrs. Polly likes a scent with costus, leather, castoreum and saffron. I can't smell the latter, by the way. Just as little caramel. Chapeau Madame Giacobetti. And thank you very much, dear Marieposa, for the testing opportunity.
