Barn Owl

O little barn owl, drifting soft and high,
With fearless wings, you cross the midnight trees.
Your piercing cry rings out across the sky,
Yet humans scorn you, calling you a beast.

But you bring gifts to fields where crops are grown,
You chase the pests and keep the harvest fair.
Some see in you a light the stars have shown,
A sign of grace that blesses earth and air.

The story of Barn Owl is a journey through a fog of misunderstanding to discover and embrace the true nature of a magnificent creature often judged prematurely. The initial impression is intentionally crafted to reflect the imposing and fierce image rooted in popular belief. The spicy heat of black pepper, fused with the deep and solemn character of myrrh, represents its distinctive cry and the sense of dread it inspires. This is enhanced by the complexity of saffron, creating an initial atmosphere of mystery.
But as this veil of fear slowly lifts, the fragrance at the heart of the story reveals the owl's true self. The initial intensity is soothed by the softness of white florals like jasmine and magnolia, much like seeing its heart-shaped face and soft plumage for the very first time. The introduction of rose reveals the truth: that the barn owl is, in fact, a friend to the farmer, a guardian of the fields, and for some, a symbol of light and good fortune hidden beneath its intimidating facade.
Ultimately, the story leaves a profound and complete trail—an acceptance of the barn owl in all its dimensions. The note of leather serves as a reminder that, however gentle and beneficial, it remains a majestic predator, a wild animal with instinct in its blood. Meanwhile, musk and woody notes provide a final embrace, evoking the forest and the warmth of a living creature, reflecting an unconditional acceptance of its whole being. It is a conclusion that true beauty is found when we learn to understand and appreciate every facet of a being completely.
