The Cave

A few friends and I are backpacking in Vietnam.
Of course, we are out for adventure,
wanting to explore the country.
With the help of inadequate maps, we try to explore a forest.
We have been on the road for hours,
probably hopelessly lost.
On the moldy-smelling earth, a multitude of identical mushrooms grow.
Tempting, we haven't eaten anything in ages.
A cautious test with the tongue,
no, they don't taste bitter,
more like the earth.
A bite, everything spins....
Falling...
Depth...
Impact...
Saltwater...
I taste the salt on my lips,
try to open my eyes...
A cave,
a glance upwards,
no chance....
Around me, the roots of trees in the swamp,
they seem to reach for me with their long fingers.
The damp walls covered in moss.
Hissing...Squeaking...
I see white figures,
with eyes that bulge from their skulls.
I remain still...
They don't seem to see me,
the eyes are glassy...blind.
One of these monsters with razor-sharp teeth is very close,
it smells musty, like decay.
It turns away.
I try to free myself,
stuck in this slimy pool of seaweed.
A wave of claustrophobia hits me,
I struggle with the swampy kelp.
It pulls me deeper and deeper.
By now, I'm stuck up to my neck.
Above me, the night...
a hopeless fight.
My senses fade,
everything spins in circles again.
I smell essential oils....

A search party found my friends and me,
unconscious from eating the mushrooms,
and brought us back to the present with the oil.

When you test this scent, it is not necessarily pleasant,
but it takes you on an adventurous journey,
telling stories.
That's why it deserves the 7 points.
Buy? - You would have to like something like this.
It's not to my taste, but it will find its admirers.
I don't smell the incense sticks here.

Mushrooms spark the imagination. Scents don’t always have to be beautiful for me. That would get boring quickly. Here’s to mushroom mania :)

Well, that trip backfired!.. ;)
I do like scents like that, but unfortunately, they’re not always easy to wear. Cool comment,... LSD trophy!

Sounds morbid, definitely very interesting. As an experience, sure. But as a perfume to wear, not really. The name alone would annoy me. Well, that's just me. Name fetishism. I don't need anything with "death" in the title.

Well, you definitely wouldn't want to smell like that.
The story was certainly an exciting adventure trip (in terms of scent too). Never eat mushrooms you don't know!;-)

At least the scent was able to spark a lot of imagination in you.

A great and strange story, and probably not for me ;)

Well, the scent really told a story.... I'm impressed. But I’d better not enter the cave, and I’m not really familiar with mushrooms either.

That's quite little for a fragrance, especially for a perfume. Other scents also offer wonderful stories and smell great too. Still, I have the utmost respect for your fearless girls' trip to Vietnam.

I felt similarly about it and rated it just slightly better.
