After a well-deserved “siesta”, we take our bikes and ride down to the tennis court. There, among green pines and under a blue sky, our friends are waiting to enjoy an afternoon of laughter to the sound of the ball against the rackets and the ground. Our afternoons smell of neroli, marine accords mixed with orange and bergamot.
The afternoon continues and, after a refreshing shower, we drive to the village to stroll together while the sun gradually hides, leaving the way to a full moon with a slightly reddish hue that will illuminate the rest of our night.
We stroll, enjoy dinner and have a few drinks while enjoying long conversations. Although the mood is relaxed and there’s no hurry, the night is getting shorter and shorter and smells of jasmine, pomegranate and musk.
The moon illuminates the sea waves. Mesmerized by this soothing sight, I will take a deep breath and think that these are the moments and the smells that I will remember throughout the year, as I count the days to enjoy them again.
