Le Flocon de Johann K

A quest and an attempt to grasp an olfactory nothingness: snow... A fresh, soothing, contemplative scent.

Mimosa and narcissus absolutes snort amid fresh, aqueous and ozonic notes. A cold wind swirls yellow pompoms and white petals to the surface of a pool of water stuck in the ice. The flakes of late snow cover a Japanese mineral garden in silence and white. Surrounded by swirls of incense, a meditating Zen master contemplates this floral and airy ballet. And since only packed and solidified snow can burn, the aldehydes metallize and harden the sweetness of the accord while warming it.
