Mstislav's last volley was always the same: the golden rain. The lights rose above the garden, scattered and slowly fell in long golden threads. For that minute the guests came to the old manor every June.
Mstislav had worked as a pyrotechnician for twenty years. He assembled every volley himself and knew how many seconds each spark would burn.
On the day of the celebration the weather was warm. In the evening Mstislav put Lambrusco on his wrists, and kiwi, green apple, bergamot, lemon and red berries sounded juicy and cheerful, pink pepper added a spark, and [festive bubbles, ringing like the guests' laughter] played right in the opening.
While the guests strolled through the garden and listened to music on the open terrace, Mstislav set out the charges at the end of a long avenue beyond the garden. By then rhubarb, jasmine, cyclamen, violet, rose and lilac had opened on his skin, and [a tart ruby berry depth] made the bouquet richer.
Before the fireworks Varvara, the hostess of the manor and the celebration, came down to him.
"Mstislav, you smell as if the celebration has already begun. May we?" Varvara asked.
"We may," Mstislav smiled and lit the first fuse.
Lights soared above the garden, the guests on the terrace gasped, and at the very end the golden rain slowly poured down over the avenue.
By night lemon wood, sandalwood, styrax and musk remained on his skin, warm and soft. Mstislav gathered the empty casings and for a long time looked at the dark avenue, above which the stars were coming out.
How it sounds
The opening is bright and sparkling: kiwi, green apple, bergamot, lemon and red berries sound juicy, pink pepper adds a light spice, peach softness, and [festive bubbles] make the opening ring.
In the heart [a tart ruby berry depth] meets rhubarb, which gives a herbal tartness. Jasmine, cyclamen, violet, rose, lilac and ylang-ylang form a fresh, slightly powdery bouquet.
In the base lemon wood, sandalwood, styrax and musk with a warm golden accord leave a warm, soft trail.
