The sky darkens and the sea is calm, just before the storm. Then comes the wind, heavy with the scent of flowers and aromatic herbs. The menacing sky is reflected in the leaden water that looks like ink. It is a matter of a moment: waves buffet the rocks with such force as to saturate the atmosphere; salt spray applauds the air, filling my lungs. Mother Nature demonstrates her immense strength. Black Sea is a perfume that unleashes the power of the elements, a fragrance for someone who bravely throws themself into the arms of a world just waiting to be explored.
