Delta

Delta is inspired by the Spanish Conquistadores who crossed the Orinoco River to reach present-day Venezuela. And here, which surprised me and, I must admit, ecstatic, we are totally catapulted into this situation. Earthy, humid scents, which then become clean and crystalline (perhaps reminding us of the transparency of the water), and finally soft and green, reproduce this olfactory atmosphere. Exceptional . I was truly speechless. "The Flamingoes" by Henry Rousseau.

It's wet earth. But it is also the most baroque earth I've smelled. It feels colorful, woody, flowery, a bit sweet. Violet leaf has the earth aspect in it by default, yet here it acts the opposite way: hints of candy and old-school Violetta di Parma make the scent feel lively, luxurious. Same could be said for cashmeran and the light resinous layer beneath: it's all bright and clear, the opposite of the melancholy I often feel with a trope like this. A medicinal layer of fresh vetiver and the shadowy bitterness of orange leaves. Candy and soil, orange and earth, orange and cedar, oakmoss and vetiver. it's a complex but transparent and optimistic scent.
