Gunpowder or rope?
"Perché tutto quello che mi resta è [...] polvere da sparo in un solo colpo da spararmi nella testa?!" -
(Why is all I have left gunpowder to shoot me in the head?)
- Gaudiano - Polvere da sparo (2021)
Must have been the mind or nose behind the scent and its pyramid.
Why? He simply forgot the gunpowder, it lies next to his creation. And after what he's created, maybe a headshot is the saving solution.
As it is for me, who once again death-defyingly pulled the trigger twice, with "Flowerbomb Nectar" wrapped around my neck like a rope.
I have to cough.
"Voglio scappare a Milano per farmi tagliare la faccia dal vento!"
("I want to escape to Milan to have my face cut by the wind.")
Hopefully, the wind would at least ensure that this sultry, powdery, penetrating nibble would dissipate a tiny bit.
What am I being so mean about today?
Well... i was hugely looking forward to the gunpowder - even if I only like smelling it in small doses - or at least that popping powder they put in children's guns as red ammo.
I wanted to give free rein to my pyromaniacal, destructive, brutal streak without harming a fly.
For I have always loved to fight (with my big and much bigger brothers), have taken the greatest pleasure in being taught how to handle a hunting rifle and shoot at marks on shoe boxes and, to Mrs. Mother's chagrin, at furniture, and have not been untalented in taking aim at cans and targets at carnivals.
Hach...
None of this gives me Flowerbomb Nectar. Cheat pack, blin! At the same time, I would have loved to make friends with this hand grenade, I really would.
Their content, however, is not cool, not wicked or peacemaking, which would still have been a nice contrast, because I think of war and hand grenades now really nothing.
The content is brutal: brutally artificial, brutally sweet with a chick twist, and even though Madame Verressovich-4ajbukoshka appreciates sweets above all else, I feel like this stuff makes me smell about twenty years older - and unlikeable, pushy, arrogant.
I'm reminded of La vie est Belle, which I'm not too fond of either. (That explains a lot.)
Admittedly, though, this is still the nice, good(!) version of that, and now that I've learned that Flowerbomb was there before, I once again have to scratch my head and wonder why the gents at Lancôme put it on the market in a messed-up way.
"Prendo un bel respiro, per un po' l'accetto."
("I take a deep breath, for a while I accept it." - for what feels like half a lifetime!)
Vanilla and tonka ultimately still manage to be a comfort to me.
I twirl the white flag wildly.
And if that doesn't work, I guess in the end I'm left with a choice between a headshot and a rope.

- Note: In the original, which for REASONS -- I can only strongly urge you to read, it actually says "all that's left me is a question" and only then comes the gunpowder part, hihi.
-- Note to note: Apart from the fact that newcomer Gaudiano's song featured on Sanremo is really nice, he looks like the Italian's older, not-so-prohibitedly-good-looking brother, making him a real looker, at least a 9/10 ?
