A night camp in the wilderness

I saw a picture of the wilderness through amber glasses. Bitter resins flickered like desert dust in the reddish-brown light of the evening sun with the bitter undergrowth that withered like maquis and hissed over the fire, the burnt coffee on the stewing bark and the remnants of embers in the coals. There was a thin leather blanket over brown lichen on scorched earth, where the night lay down with clammy cold and struck its smouldering roots.

Dawn Spencer Hurwitz from North Boulder, Colorado, moves with her fragrances in the fluid border areas between perfumes, bespoke, aromatherapy and collaborations with artists.
she describes "Adrenaline and Scorched Earth" as "A somewhat surprising scent of highly sugared 'Cowboy Coffee' mixed with charcoal, embers, and 'blackened' dirt notes grounded in a rich vetiver base." She has succeeded excellently in creating this image (in fact, I only read her words after writing my text). The scene begins with an accord of various balsamic (myrrh, frankincense, amber, opoponax) and bitter-smoky (birch tar) resins, which are soon joined by bitter-green, spicy aromas of mate and coffee, which, together with smoky, leathery choya ral bark, charcoal and cedar juniper from the base, create the impression of slightly burnt coffee on a slowly dying wood fire, earthy patchouli, hay, dry lichen-like oakmoss, petrol-root-like vetiver and mitti attar, the scent of earth after the rain, are the slowly clammy floors of the warehouse, where you lie on the leather (choya ral) and repeatedly perceive aromas of ash, cold smoke (cedar juniper), bark (amyris, choya ral), burnt coffee and tobacco (ambergris), moderate and full-bodied.
