As children during the hot, sunny days of summer, Tiziana and I spent most of our time with our grandfather in the countryside. He would fill our days with magic tales, teaching us the wonders of the world. Our father Evelino often accompanied us on holiday trips with his sailboat made entirely of fragrant wood. We would cut through the seas on this boat, with bright eyes and an eagerness for new discoveries, getting to know the infinite beauty of the Italy we loved. Just a few miles from our city, there is an enchanted mountain that hurls itself against the sea, creating a breath-taking scene: Mount Conero. The rocks and forests are mirrored in the crystal clear water of one of the most beautiful bays in Italy, which is protected by two peaks, the Two Sisters, that were thrown into the sea by the gods. We would depart in the middle of the night accompanied by light breezes that trailed the cheerful scent of the Mediterranean scrub throughout the entire voyage. Orienting himself by the stars, our Father sailed confidently, while our Grandfather Guglielmo pointed out the constellation Orion and its mythical belt. On occasion we would see fire on dry land and bonfires that revealed dangers to the sailors. Our hearts were met with an explosion of scents carried on the summer's warm winds that still reverberate in us today. Orion is a result of that faraway echo. It is a spicy, intense perfume, strong yet delicate at the same time. The bouquet of citrus makes it effervescent, in contrast to the sweetness of the pineapple and the roundedness of the apple, all of which lead to its brilliant wake of spicy balance composed of thyme and oregano. A cool breeze swirls past when it is worn, and a reminder of the select wood accompanies us on a dreamlike voyage towards the Infinite.
