Meo Fusciuni

L'Oblio Extrait de Parfum

...What if the good of man was to forget, instead of remembering? At the end of this journey I realised that I no longer wanted to remember, I just wanted to lose myself in the oblivion of my search, and be in stillness. Forgetting had become my salvation, my peace.

I was in Cambodia, a long journey up the Mekong, seeking forgetfulness as salvation. The banks of the great river, the dry season of spring, light and shining notes of Helichrysum, Frankincense and Orange, open this flowing, golden river, a shining labyrinth of the soul. The sound of drums in the night, overpowering the silence in the temple, is the dawn of a new day. Oblivion recounts man's journey in search of forgetfulness, Tiziano Terzani as a spiritual and literary guide. An invitation to travel, an ever closer bond with the East. Memory flows slowly, amidst the vegetal and smoky notes of Mate Tobacco, the welcome of Iris speaks to the soul, we are now in the heart of Oblivion.

As the long journey draws to a close, the suave woody notes of Sandalwood and Palo Santo bring us back to the depths of balance. Only the sunset is missing to define the end, but Oblivion remains, like an eternal scent, like dust in ancient temples. Oblivion Extrait de Parfum does not just tell of a journey, but celebrates a close bond between memory and forgetfulness. Oblivion is a spiral of stillness.
