Last Season

“What is Nature, if not the peace of your heart?

In a remote place, walking through silent woods and natural shadows, I closed my eyes and thought: “What does the voice of Nature smell like?”

Imagine the world suddenly revealing itself to you, through the woods, through the waters of the Baltic, through the light that rushes through the leaves of ancient trees. Imagine hearing the voice of the earth for the first time, forever.

I saw a distant world, in the stillness of the waters and woods. The silence was broken by the cry of the white swan, the flight of the gray heron. There is a world where we no longer see ourselves, but only the beauty of what revolves and lives around us. We are not, but we listen to the essence of the world. I saw that end, that boundary, here.

Last Season was born from a trip to Sweden, a place far from the world. In those days of peace, beauty, and friendship, I rediscovered for a moment that pure feeling that is our destiny: to always delve deeply into things, to experience them, understand them, and rejoice in them, to venture into life. That depth is expressed through this perfume, which leaves only nature to speak. Last Season recounts my first steps in that pristine place; it was a warm August morning, the aromatic notes recount the arrival of mosses on the island. Everything here is submerged, and like ancestral lunar presences, marine plants connect us to the water, stretched out on the dark rocks of the Baltic. And then the slow, respectful steps of us, guests of this green, earthy, humid space. The sun warms the bark of the trees; animals watch from their lairs at us, lonely humans, in the heart of nature. I have crossed all the seas to see you, gone beyond all the forests to speak to you, to listen to your scent, Nature. And now that I'm here, I'm speechless, I close my eyes and listen to your essence, in this last season.
