Through the glow of the night fog
You ride a train from old movies. Listen to the soft rhythm of beating sleepers. See sunlight wandering in tangerine-colored windows, it will set blood-orange, still reflected in shimmering silver clouds that lie cool out there in the evening, announcing the spicy ginger of the night on the last rays of light from cardamom. All the steam from the locomotive chimney will gradually fog the coniferous forests, eucalyptically cool and green like limes it will waft around ethereal spruces. Soon they will disappear into the darkness. They are probably incense resins glowing in the combustion chamber, spitting flying sparks of cloves and drawing the draught warmly and gently towards the Orient. Through the golden-brown light in the old compartments, the labdanum, myrrh and benzoin lanterns, their salty glow of fossil amber on the wood-paneled old walls of soft sandalwood and dark cedar, you soon enter a sweet dream. It no longer matters to arrive.
**
With "Orientalist", Australian Kirrin James travels through a vast landscape in the light of various resins in a virtuoso manner. It opens with bright hesperidic notes (blood orange, tangerine), sharpened with clear cloves, fresh ginger and spicy cardamom and nutmeg, which are carried by the eucalyptus-like ethereal notes of Omani green frankincense, which soon combine with the coniferous coniferous resins of spruce. After a while, the more balsamic African frankincense resins take over, soon revealing slightly medicinal, tart benzoin aromas. White sandalwood with its subtly fruity, soft notes (which could also come from labdanum) forms the base of the fragrance with the dark, warm cedar, sweeter myrrh and styrax aromas and the slightly salty fossil amber. A feast for every resin lover. The old train travels at a moderate volume through the vastness of a long night.
