Solar eclipse
Silence. There is an extraordinary atmosphere in the air. It's crackling! Like a black band of tar, the shadow path slowly moves into our field of vision, while the moon successively covers the sun more and more.
The birds fall silent, the flowers close their goblets and the light refracts magically and mysteriously on the horizon. A surreal world opens up, strange and fascinating at the same time...
What a monumental event! There is probably nothing comparable and no event that triggers "a cold shiver runs down my spine" more than the cosmic natural spectacle of a total solar eclipse. Graceful and majestic! Who was allowed to or could follow the total eclipse at the end of the last millennium, can surely follow my thoughts.
It's the 11.8.1999, and I'm in Hungary at the Solipse Festival. The festival area is located exactly on the narrow strip of the complete solar eclipse, and we have a cloudless sky - clear view to the upcoming spectacle...
Black Tar is now one of those impressive olfactory creations that can be compared to the power and sustainability of a Full Solar Eclipse.
The deep black, smoky-tarry structure can be seen from the very first moment when the olfactory receptors are wetted with the molecules. Unconditionally and unstoppably, the direction of travel is explained. An intensely spicy, but also dry sandy aura darkens the horizon, just as the moon is constantly moving in front of the sun during the eclipse.
The whole thing is accompanied by a medically antiseptic undertone. A slightly bitter facet flanks the perception, similar to the smell in e.g. an old pharmacy. The reference to ointments already mentioned here also fits very well. Combined with juniper, this combination results in an extremely successful prelude. Fantastic!
When the scent has spread like a cloak in the further course of time, this beautiful, slightly sweet projection is added. Beguilingly floral and honey-like, latent and completely hidden, the tuberose joins the spectacle. The moment of complete darkness arises...
But a small corona of light remains - the corona. It fits to the current events, but in this case it stands for sweetish and woody warmth, respectively olfactorically
Black Tar actually feels like an eclipse to me...
Mysterious and magical
dark and gloomy
bright and radiant
I think the portability is excellent. BT is never intrusive or annoying, and although its ingredients are powerful, it always generates a pleasant aura and sillage. I find the durability remarkable, and even hours later the scent is still quite passably perceptible.
For me Black Tar is another milestone on my olfactory journey of discovery. I can only recommend this fragrance to anyone who has access to such scents.
Last but not least, the bottle is also a feast for the eyes, which in my opinion would look very well with the symbol of a Solar Eclipse...
I look behind the center,
In the shadows of your past,
So I recognize light, glistening light,
Which vanquishes the darkness...
I dedicate these lines and this commentary to my oldest son. He is 14 years old today!
Congratulations, my great one, and may the sun always shine for you...
Thank you for reading it and I'll be glad to read it
