A sweet melody pervades the streets of ancient Pompei, teasing the fragrant orange leaves with the slightest touch and tickling the pleasantly sweet blackcurrant shrubs.
As the fresh herbaceous notes diffuse further, nature falls under Silenus’ spell and feels at ease.
As the tension builds, the rustic god begins his story, accompanied by a hypnotic symphony of Sichuan pepper and ylang-ylang notes – a nostalgic echo of the remote Eastern lands that fully preserve the flavour of this man's countless travels.
Silenus’ words have their own siren-like quality and recall the biting salinity of wave-lapped, seaweed-covered beached wood.
The wise man’s narrative ends in the eternal wake of cedar wood.
A seer who chooses not to share his gift and is happy to be carried away by the gaiety of wine and delve into arcane dimensions imbued with magically complex ginger root.
