Notes: calamus, frankincense, myrrh, amber

Comment: 24.09.11 is part of the Gli Invisibili Collection
Acting as another homage to Hilde's late father, or a dedication to her 'angel', 24.09.11 combines various resins with calamus (which is considered a sacred grass in many religions).

The earthy green aspect of the calamus initially throws the composition into disarray but, soon afterwards, the journey is both smooth and serene. When the calamus fully settles, it yields a milkiness that blends extremely well with the amber, frankincense and myrrh, to help produce a sweet powdery amber trail.

While it's wispy and lacking in tenacity, one feels that Hilde has already composed superior powdery creations, such as the excellent Vecchi Rossetti. Furthermore, for a little more money, Profumum's Soavissima would be a more robust alternative.
