The Perfect Alibi
Need to pretend that you really did just spend the week camping without access to the internet or cell reception? This little number will certainly seal the deal! Painstakingly realistic, it's the sort of statement that Demeter's "Dirt", by the very same Christopher Brosius, made. #405 M3 November is an art piece...in the style of photorealism. An ode to a walk in the woods- if you are romanticizing this notion, best to get a sample of this and also stop by the grocery store and get bunch of fresh chanterelle mushrooms, a honeycrisp or Braeburn apple peel (discard the sweet juicy crisp center), then stop in a gardening store for some potting soil and wood chip mulch- then soak these items in a moss covered clay pot over night and stick your nose in it before going any further, because this really does have a predominant mushroom note coupled with a clean potting soil accord. There is also a wan sensation of overripe apple peels- this is an after harvest festival- the fruit is past it's prime and the pumpkin here is in the peak of ripeness- pumpkin flesh that is neither cinnamony nor baked- but raw and freshly carved squash- it's almost peculiar. If you've tried some of the others creations in this line- this has a common thread of the "Burning Leaves" smoky aspect as well as "Soaked Earth" soil accord. I would more likely use this as a tranquil head clearing environmental tonic than a personal scent, but if ever caught neglecting my emails from work and in need of a realistic embellishment of my whereabouts, I would quickly put on my Patagonia pullover, tussle my hair, throw some dead leaves about, smear some dirt on one cheek and spray this liberally on myself then sheepishly point to my laptop and curse the lack of good WI-FI coverage so deep in (fill in the blank) forest. Then quickly invite the Accuser over for dinner to sample the wonderful wild Mushroom soup. (Dash back to grocery store!)
