Why is the last sentence always "presto"?
Because the musicians want to go home, too. At least they say so. Unless there's free beer, they like to stay a little longer. My father had once booked a mini-group for a round birthday party, which consisted of musicians who were otherwise mostly active in the city orchestra - in other words: which with a fixed salary, certainly "paperless" improved by music lessons. He said goodbye to the young men after their performance and invited them to order something as well. Hours later, they were still indulging one by one. The nerves (optionally the fur) for something like this you have to have first...

"The Last Movement" naturally refers to symphonic works. What kind of symphony are we talking about today? One of Haydn's? I don't think so. By the way, the third and penultimate movement was a minuet by default, i.e. a dance. That's the way it used to be. An evil tongue (namely mine) claims that this is the case so that the listeners can mentally reawaken the limbs that fell asleep in the first two sentences.

No, we jump a hundred years further and strive for the symphonic work of Gustav Mahler. A characteristic feature of his compositions is that melodies that could sound cheerful and friendly on their own are turned upside down or alienated into irony. There are plenty of examples, for example in the third movement of Symphony No. 6: youtube.com/watch?v=rypHeVr_X7c - from 34:45 min. sweet, overripe late romantic sounds experience bitter headwind.

In 'Symphony' the bitter headwind consists of car tyre rubber, fresh, soft and deep black. Only slowly can a lusciously sweet, moderately stinky jasmine note fight its way through. It is very similar to the one from 'Jasmin de Nuit' by The Different Company. In the present case, however, it is distorted by the rubber accompaniment in a grimace-like manner. Carrot and stick. It takes hours before the car tyre is completely driven out of the odour field.

That doesn't mean, of course, that from now on a lusciously sensual jasmine horn will seduce instead, as with the aforementioned TDC. Rather, a bear-bitty-scratchy underlay took the nag-part. I can't accurately trace it back to the data. This may be due to the fact that the Australians, as already pointed out by the valuable fluxite, don't share the EU oakmoss shit and the stuff may have been accommodated here in a hitherto unknown (real) way and quantity.

When I write "scrawny-faced," I don't mean "unkind." Rather a grumbling kind of a good-natured one in the heart. Because without a doubt, since the end of the rubber phase, the fragrance has assumed a warm atmosphere in the core; the common path leads to the fruity. It's original that the tangerine - according to the announcement - takes place in the base. The evening ending moves close to the Smoky Stony (Patchouli?). There is a hint of fruit, only sweetness from the jasmine. Very quiet, but pleasant.

And so the basic tenor of said third movement from the 6th Symphony also seems to me ultimately reconciliatory.

Conclusion: Try it! The scent too, for my sake.

I thank Naimie54 for the sample.

PS: If you don't have enough of Mahler's indulgence, listen to the last movement of the 3rd Symphony: youtube.com/watch?v=1AwFutIcnrU - from 1:16:56. If you don't have much time (the said movement alone is good for an entire Haydn symphony), start at 1:37:40.

1968 in the cinema
How do you actually deal with scents that present both your favourite and hate notes?
Jasmine is such a scaredy-cat. "Indian" doesn't rhyme with "diabolical" for nothing. But oakmoss, it rhymes with... "soft and plump" or something. And the One Seekers as pure natural scents come from Australia, where, contrary to stupid European allergy bans, you are allowed to use even real oakmoss, as far as I know.

And there it is, the jasmine. In general, THE Jasmine, not particularly feminine and slightly green-nosed at the start. Warm herbfloral, muted by the background sharpness of the dry cardamom. Neither sweet nor sour and yet somehow both. Quickly a clearly metallic iron blade is found in the flower bed and is ready for action in the section. Flowers & weapons, just like in the movie. No big cinema, I would say, but optimistically friendly under reserve. Maybe it will be a crime thriller or turns out to be a RomCom after the break? At all, until the scent changes significantly after about two hours, there is still no commercial.
Someone's detonating. More drama than fiery romance.
But then the scales fall from my eyes: documentary film! "1969 - Revolution" by Sweet Anthems now smells enormously similar, let's say everything takes place a year before, but very close, VERY close. Still the smoke of the industrial revolution, the steel of the machines, the peaceful hippie flowers including slightly narcotic substances. Unbending, enlightened and promising, the uncertain future fixed with a watchful eye. And there it continues to smoke hoarse, soon without flowers, then without metal. A thin trace of dark sweetness, belated and mischievous. The canvas fades to grey, the curtain covers it when the programme is over and you realize: you can take this smoke home with you. Your personal End Credits including your favourite song. And you smile
For the number types: Head note 7.0. / base 10.0.
Makes a, uh, 9-point average. For lack of publicity. Although they should be done for that scent!
