Mint with strawberry odor, geranium with mint odor, fresno herb with lemon odor... There are a thousand things to smell. Perfume fields are plentiful. Fields, alone or whatever. Aren't they all a Latin solum? The earth, that's the field. A vision that has left us of the Basques neolithic: the land is a field, a land that can be cultivated, a land that we make more fruitful. The call for the Soloan Berriketan meeting, organized by Busturialdea Auzolanean, in the Gaztetxe section of Gernika, said: “Spring on the go! They're resurrecting the fields. Gather the strength of the Earth, feed it, share it among friends, give independence to the Earth. Renew in spring. Get drunk with smells. Seduce by colors. To get wet in the sun, to wash with a thin wind, to harden, to strengthen oneself, to enjoy one another, to warm up, to sweat, to melt… The earth that is not a field also generates smells. But the Busturia sun also smells, like in spring all year round, but you don't need to get drunk, right? If yes...

Today, most smells have been erased. There are natural, uncultivated, but most of them are made up of fields or factories. Many perfumes are artificial and although they are good imitations, they are not. The smell of strawberry when eating yogurt with strawberry odor will not be known in the future by our children.

There are also odors that are produced in the fields. Among them are some who have acquired an extraordinary reputation. We have to ask in Toulouse! I don't think it improves the smell of violet... Violet with a long history (Viola sp.) The work in this area has brought considerable benefits. The smell, the perfume is the best known fruit of this plant, but the flowers crystallized in sugars, syrups, jams, liquors, honey... What don't they do with violet? They also bring many dishes. It is called “pink city” by its brick houses; I would call it “purple city”, introduce me to the violet festival they do every February and decide if I am wrong...

Not to mention pachulá, I don't want to start my vacation. More and more I can smell to fláculi, it's fashionable. Pogostemon cablin is the essence of the leaves of the plant. It was the perfume of the time of Hippies, a good mattress to castrate, not to shower, for drugs... As a friend’s grandmother said, “a disgusting August comes” and today, although it seems necessary to shower twice a day to hide sweat smells: calm. What does the neighbor say? That is drunk. You have to like it!
