From Destruction, Something New Emerges
My second test candidate from Béjar is Meteorite - a fragrance suitable for letting the imagination run wild, where not only the name but also the scent itself contributes to this.
I see a mountainside somewhere on our planet. The location is quite high, thus sparsely populated with vegetation, mainly wild herbs, low grasses, moss, and lichens. Between the earth-covered sections, bare rock peeks through.
A Swiss pine has made it up here and has chosen a hollow where soil could collect as its location. It is very low, and the trunk is slanted and strongly twisted. In summer, the storms do their part, and in winter, snow presses down from above on the trunk. This leads to the trunk developing cracks, which the pine tries to heal with resin. So the whole tree is now covered in resin.
A howling and hissing interrupts the silence on the slope, and a glowing meteorite shatters upon impact with the rock into a thousand pieces. A large chunk of rock is blown away and rolls down the slope. Herbs, grass, and Swiss pine catch fire.
Initially, a strong, herbal smell spreads from the burning herbs (is there actually wild celery?). This is followed by the scent of burnt grass and moss, smelling green-smoky.
Meanwhile, the Swiss pine is burning fiercely, and a strong smoky-woody-resinous scent spreads across the entire slope. This assault will not be survived by the pine. The wood makes sounds while burning that resemble groans.
For a long time, the slope is enveloped in this smoky-woody-resinous scent.
For me, Meteorite is rather a masculine fragrance, but surely androgynous women can wear it well too. The drydown is fine-smoky-resinous and soft. No scratching or stinging, but a mossy softness.
The bottle is perfectly round and contains a real, small meteorite and three diamonds.
If this continues with the Béjar fragrances, then I have some beautiful surprises ahead of me.
