Barbarossa by Byron: An Olfactory Journey among Pirates and Exotic Spices Introduction Always in search of new raw materials, the Pirates set sail once again, in search of hidden essences. The journey promises to be full of surprises and twists. The corsair BARBAROSSA, commander of the ship, with the help of his brothers, sails towards India in search of the sublime Kalakassi Oud. Then the order is given... It's a change of course towards the Middle East. Standing straight as an 'i' on the bow of his ship, Barbarossa, with his beard waving in the wind, thinks of the freshly picked saffron and the blackcurrant as a battle of the senses. But the wisdom of neroli and violet will calm this honorable struggle, leaving room for vanilla and jasmine to sail on calm waters towards a unique destination.
