Laboratorio Olfattivo Tonkade (journey dimension), picture by Nicoleta
Each time I strive a brand new scent, particularly one I’ve been eager to strive for a while, my thoughts begins to instantly play an involuntary affiliation recreation: what colour is it, what does it style like, whose voice is enjoying within the background, whose pores and skin am I carrying? After I first sprayed Laboratorio Olfattivo Tonkade, I closed my eyes and I tasted, breathed and submerged in RED.

After I opened them, I noticed the within of the cab within the opening scenes of Suspiria, pores and skin raised with goosebumps, music looping, echoed by the raging storm exterior. The automotive slowly stops and the purple lights creep in like a heat, invading presence.

Typically, when watching a contemporary dance efficiency I can slowly faze out of actuality, the start all correct and clear-cuttingly exterior from myself and my notion: the faces of the dancers, the distinct options, their individuality and character transposed in motion, every small sound of their ft, the rusting of the material of the costumes. After which some type of witchcraft occurs: I really feel drawn in, the ensemble turns into better than the sum of all its shifting limbs, transforms right into a living-breathing new creation, an organism that transcends the identified types of communication and whose voice I can hear, and it may well communicate to ME. And when that occurs, I do know and I’m grateful to be within the presence of ART, in one in every of its many manifestations.
Tonkade’s purple thread attracts you in with a false feeling of consolation and easiness: it’s candy, feels pure, it’s acquainted. You possibly can pinpoint and single-out a lot of its substances, distinct and reassuring: the vanilla is stripped of its typical heaviness and is hi-resolution, clear and tenacious; tonka is picture life like and large; the neroli infuses with colour and delicate freshness the sweetness of the dried fruits, and cardamom provides a playful chunk of spiciness.

If the purple thread have been to steer again to its starting, rotating on simply this one path, it could nonetheless be a lovely fragrance. However, a few minutes in, a shadow grows: a low, dry, woody whisper tells you to come back nearer, come hither (“There’s shadow underneath this purple rock // (Are available in underneath the shadow of this purple rock) // And I’ll present you one thing totally different from both // Your shadow at morning striding behind you // Or your shadow at night rising to fulfill you” T.S. Eliot)
An unseen machinist pushes the wood stage of an outdated management panel, the stage lights flip heat yellow, incense smoke fills the middle stage and the background decor strikes, hidden in darkness. New actors be a part of within the dance: the amber, the woods, and the patchouli, all imposing a brand new rhythm and giving the entire ensemble a uncooked, mysterious and feral surge of power.
The vanilla – tonka combo in Tonkade dances to the beat of its personal drum, and if you’re a lover of intriguing candy and darkish fragrances, I wager it would be best to be a part of within the dance, too.
