Reiterstube
Riding rooms can be found in almost every horse stable and they have their very own charm and special scent. When I started riding in the nineties, there was still smoking in riding stables. Some had vending machines, often you could make coffee, and usually they had older leather furniture. I remember wooden floors, often quite worn and somewhere in the corner was a tiled stove.
If a tournament attendance or a ride in the group stood to a special cause, usually on the eve of the spectacle the horses were prepared, particularly cleanly cleaned and afterwards one cleaned saddles, bridles as well as the leather riding boots. After everything was cleaned from the traces of daily riding, oil or grease with beeswax extract was applied to the leather, which not only nourishes, but also provides a beautiful shine and makes the horse and rider shine at their grand entrance.
A sniff of Mane catapults me immediately into such a cozy riding room. And there were definitely saddles and boots cleaned and greased that day. Because next to the tiled stove, the old seating furniture, the worn wooden floor and the cold smoke of the cigarettes, I clearly sniff leather care balsam from the equestrian supplies. The good and expensive grease that smells so nice and vanilla at the back. I was today mentally with my rider badge examinations in young years or with the legendary New Year's Eve ride on the dearest yard of my childhood. I also had to think of the first tournaments. And of the many beautiful hours with friends of many years as well as new acquaintances, who also went in and out on these farms and the Reiterstube. I think of my former riding instructors. All of them were different characters. Almost all of them were heavy smokers. But my thoughts are also of ice-cold fingers and feet in winter and the nice feeling of slowly getting warm again by the tiled stove and feeling safe.
Mane is for me quite far from a classic perfume, but manages to reactivate many of my memories. A fragrance for sniffing cloth, not necessarily to wear, but still somehow beautiful. Homey. Warm. A piece of childhood.
Since the fragrance is very intense, I recommend to apply just a droplet and let that work on you. Childhood romance guaranteed.
Dear thanks to Susan for the test opportunity.
