A GROVE BY THE SEA by Arquiste
An Adriatic Aromatic scent
August 1508,
Lopud Island, Adriatic Sea
Lopud is an evergreen island with lush fig and olive groves by the sea. From the port, dotted with Renaissance stone villas, the scent of fig and crushed olives is so strong that the salty sea breeze carries it beyond the harbor, towards forests of Mediterranean pine and cypress. Above, ancient chapels overlooking the harbor like sentinels are overgrown with wild thyme, fennel, and rosemary.
The whole landscape an aromatic paradise of green fig, dried pine needles, wild herbs, and the subtle, nutty scent of olive oil.
Top Notes: Adriatic fig leaves, black olive, fleur de sel accord, Croatian clementine
