The non-smoker's wagon
Oh, Bastian, it could have been like that. You entered the discarded railroad car. But you didn't meet the non-smoker. Only a tail of him remained, clove-swollen from the bay rum and the amber-colored cognac mist from recently abandoned glasses. The summer dew of dried golden grass glistened through the windows onto the smoke-soaked black seats made of old, worn leather. Silver mist still danced like cold dust between crunching withered flowers, forgotten in bottles on folding window tables, paused in a still life. A tobacco tin stood open next to it. Virginia leaves began to drift through the wood-paneled carriage in warm bubbles of the darkest resins. They surrounded the floorboards of old cedar, the patchouli remnants in paisley cloths hanging from the ceilings everywhere, in the layers of tar and cinnamon sparks, as if they wanted to soak everything in broth and solidify into smoldering amber. In it you saw the day gradually disappear in the dew on the dark grasses.

Dawn Spencer Hurwitz from North Boulder, Colorado, moves with her fragrances in the fluid border areas between perfumes, bespoke, aromatherapy and collaborations with artists.
"Cigarette Fétiche" is Dawn's interpretation of the tobacco fragrance theme, which has been a tradition in various forms since the beginning of the 20th century. According to her, it should be ashy and sensual at the same time.
The rather moderate projection begins with an accord of tart cloves, hot spices and resinous, fruity cognac. The bright, pungent notes are underlined by a silvery straw flower and dry, spicy hay. The labdanum resin and birch tar create a dark, resinous, smoky base, on which smoky, leathery choya ral initially makes itself felt before light Virginia tobacco aromas come to the fore. Towards the base, the fragrance becomes increasingly ambery, albeit in a dry-woody (sandalwood, cedar) way, guaiac wood and Peru balsam ignite a cinnamon-like glow, patchouli sometimes shifts the fragrance into a distant ambre fétiche light, before the non-smoker's wagon is gradually abandoned after a few hours, alternating between black vanilla and terpenic dark green Java vetiver.
