Description
Terralba
In front of you, the sea. Behind, mediterranean shrubland. It is morning. The smells of shrubs and the earth mingle intimately and indistinguishably with the salty breath of the sea. You walk cautiously on the rocks of the small pathway leading to the beach, following – almost chasing – the sound of the waves, finding your way through the thick vegetation. It is a narrow and steep pathway. You touch the branches of the bushes. A bent branch bleeds a dense and sticky resinous liquid, whose strong and vital scent doesn’t want to leave your skin. At last – in front of you – deep blue. The horizon expands and you abandon yourself to the sounds and the view of the mighty ocean sea.
Terralba is a scent for those searching for an immediate mediterranean escape – it calls to mind Antonioni’s L’Avventura, where a group of friends scours an isolated island for a woman who has gone missing among the freedom of the breeze and the sound of the waves. It is everything sweet and beautiful about a hike across the heath – no bitterness or sharpness to be found among these swaying shrubs. The green tangerine and everlasting flower lend a soft sweetness while the sage, myrtle, thyme, and lentisc provide a plush herbal background and deep green woods anchor the composition. Perhaps you will lose yourself between the sun-soaked rocks and the waves as well.
