Rabbitless elegance
It happened anno 2002. Pole Poppenspäler days in Husum. My then boyfriend (now husband) and I drove in this summer intentionally aimlessly throughout Germany, visited here and there someone, and finally landed among other things in this play...Unfortunately, I can no longer remember the name.Well in my memory, however, is this white rabbit. An extremely unsympathetic rabbit, with nasal, penetrating voice, that emphasized again and again lisping, how sweet and cuddly and dear it was. So that one could hardly bear it as a spectator of this figure theater piece for adults... The Hasentier turned out besides also still as a nasty Nötiger and blackmailer, and was murdered in the piece then also soon. All other figures had a murder motive, because Hasi had played badly with you. the murder was cleared up then... A genuine Krimi, thus. I can still remember it because it's one of the few plays that actually made me guffaw.... And, well. There's a scent that's figurative to me, like said rabbit. The Amber. Long a favorite of mine, I can smell amber very well from perfumes and always immediately associated it with "cozy". When I began to test more and more fragrances at Parfumo, the transformation took place insidiously, almost imperceptibly...The amber smell began to get on my nerves more and more. He mutated from "wonderful cuddler", to "doof-niedlichen rabbit" .Now there are amber yes in black, green, spicy...etc.. But from all amber fragrances that I had tested so far, waved me now, quasi sweet-doof ,( with a "fön, daf you fon again at me fnüffelft " ), the rabbit against. Amber, mutated into a desert of powder-sugar yawning boredom...
Nevertheless, or just therefore, I am still interested in amber fragrances. Basically, yes ,mostly synthetically, trying to make a clean, idealized version of ambergris. Ambergris, this gray substance, excreted from the intestines of whales with digestive problems, ( for those who don't know yet: it's real, no joke !!), which apparently smells very attractive, and is as rare as it is expensive. Every now and then a poor fisherman pulls a chunk of ambergris from the sea and gets for it ( hopefully) a lot of money....
Ambergris is said to smell more animalistic, more aromatic, than the amber we know. I would strongly suspect that it also smells a little fishy. How I would love to smell real ambergris once !
Lorenzo Villoresi, the philosopher and perfumer from Florence may have had this noble scent under his nose. In any case, it would be difficult to assume that "Ambra", the Villoresi perfume, should probably smell as it is called. Ambra, of course, could also mean " amber". The liquid in the bottle looks at least amber. I was really curious how ,and which theme would be interpreted in this perfume then now.
In fact, the fragrance event begins in the first seconds with a well-known,delicate, white sweetness. However, this does not have the typical ambery powdered sugary, but glides smoothly like satin past...a light musk touch with a Bissl amber. But already lowers a light bitter-harzig-würziger veil on this fine sweetness down, like autumn fog...
Early evening in the Italian city by the sea. The light wind carries with it a hint of quiet, sweet longing.The path leads through old, small, gray alleys, towards the harbor and beach promenade. It is quiet here in November, at dusk. Autumn fog lies like light, white incense over the city. Bitterly citric waves of galbanum break softly against the harbor wall. The advancing dusk conjures warm amber resin glow in the old street lamps. A feeling of inner contemplation and expansiveness sets in, as incense fog is particularly capable of awakening. But before it becomes too emotional and solemn, the fragrance grabs us with all kinds of spices by the scruff of the neck, and pulls us back to the here and now, where the fragrance life with pepper, nutmeg, cardamom and clove scents aroma and vitality is breathed.
But you must not imagine " Ambra" too spicy. Here everything is exactly balanced, nothing too much, none of the fragrance notes stands out here extremely. Most likely, perhaps, the incense. Animal notes can be represented here really also only as "Häuchlein" and mix, relatively unnoticed by me in the action.
The fragrance does not radiate any closeness. He remains elegant and confident at a distance. It is a quiet, refined sophisticated olfactory impression. The fragrance is absolutely unsweet, then develops towards the end a pleasant, woody warmth.
So we stroll along our now dark harbor promenade like signora or signore. This is where we belong. We know this vast, unpredictable sea and its fragrance, we know the old church from which incense rises to our noses, we know the restaurants of this city. We know the ups and downs of life,
go our way, keep casual attitude and are always dressed appropriately... Siamo italiani veri. ;-)
Ambergris is an exciting fragrance, but at the same time one that will not arouse extreme passions. For me, it is not a candidate for purchase.In parts, it becomes a bit too bitter for me. So I will continue to curiosity through Amber. Ambretta amber, amber & Co test. Incidentally, I am really very unsure whether "ambergris" in all its resinousness falls under the heading of "amber fragrances" at all. But after all : It is neither an extremely sweet cuddly scent.... nor can I discover a nasty rabbit anywhere. For this I am so grateful!!!
