The Flight of the Green Lemon Wigs

The wind crashes bitter wormwood herbs like harsh rain through tall grasses, cutting sharp green edges and rustling like a medium-wave transmitter. The sky is full of lemon wigs, crackling soft cotton in the smoke, flying with swarms of bergamots on parachutes made of ylang flowers, reflecting in medicine, in earthy brown puddles, landing on tobacco leaves and skin, wherever moss grows.
***
According to Anna Zworykina, she creates olfactory landscapes from 100% natural materials. Her fragrances are captured moments, escape routes into dreams and fairy tales, connections to long-term memory, making the wearer a co-author of their stories.
"Revenge" begins with sharp, bitter herbs (wormwood) and fennel-like green notes (tarragon), which soon blend with a citrusy bright and soft accord of bergamot, neroli, herb-sweet ylang, earthy-smoky vetiver, and the Indian incense Choya Loban. Galbanum and patchouli form an earthy-medical-resinous foundation beneath. Presumably, the slightly carrion-like jasmine with labdanum is responsible for the animalic-leathery nuances, which seem to increasingly transform with the tobacco in skin notes, before the moss gradually comes to the fore at the end.
The flight of the green lemon wigs lasts moderately for a good six to seven hours.

(With thanks to Bastian)

I hardly know anyone who knows the scents you describe. And I can't imagine a lot of it because I don't have enough experience yet. But I really enjoy the fascinating images and melodies that your stories create in my mind!
A big thank you trophy to you!

You described that beautifully, but I don't think the pricing policy here is that great.

I definitely wear a nicely scented lemon wig for the right occasions - you always have something to squeeze for your mineral water - but I won't add tinnitus to that ;-) This Zworykina seems to create interesting scent worlds, now further elevated by a Floyd-esque image description! However, the name of the fragrance and the parachute look do seem a bit warlike...

I'll stand in this wonderfully crashing wormwood herb wind for a while and try to catch one of the lemon wigs ;).. Great writing again..

You know I always love to tag along, and I used your short story as a little break! However, the brand itself hasn't really been very accessible to me so far...

The wind sometimes sends magical things across the sky. Wonderful! :)) My highlight today was the ylang parachutes.

… There are some adventurous things going on here again! ;) … Putrid, medicinal, animalistic, and other activities come together in the moss … I guess even the lemon wigs on their ylang flowers can't make up for that for me ;)) … However, I can still smell your language! 😉

I agree with MonMedusa - it would probably be too citrusy for me as well. But I would definitely get on board with the Monty Python illustration.

With all the earthiness, moss, sharpness, bitterness, skin, and animal notes, the tobacco doesn't really turn things around for me. I'd rather put on a wig and watch the scene from the edge of the moss!

I'm not really a fan of wigs, but I think your lemon wigs are just great, just like the whole delightfully whimsical yet slightly bittersweet medium-wave poetry of your wonderful review. For you, a very special dandelion parachute trophy!

Doesn't that mean I have an onion on my head, I'm a... With lemons, it would definitely be funny too. Even if Anna isn't always easy for me. This scent was really good. A typical Zworykina. And a typical review from Floyd. A trophy from me.

Seems like a multifaceted scent with many beautiful notes, but I usually tap out with the slightly animalistic jasmine and tobacco... unless the skin notes turn out to be interesting... oh well ;)

Oh, why not a lemon wig? Curly hairstyles have been around for a while, and curls aren't really in anymore :-D
I wonder if the scent will entice me, hmmm...

Another fragrance with wormwood. It must be a sign somehow.
Otherwise, lemons in wigs scare me... Hihj
