The Essence Behind the Spirits Glasses
He has probably always been sitting there. You can only see one eye reflecting the whiskey, as his straggly fur falls over his face, which smells of scalp and earth, concealing his true visage. Glowing in the light, strangely apple-red, the youth, whose scent of sweet fruit he guards in the glasses before him, flickers far away, which he clutches with his leathery hands, and to which a remnant of white chocolate still clings in the woolly waxy fluff of pheromones. There, in the dark spirit from Siam, the vanilla-white flowers begin to wilt, and in the light of the candle on the counter, the amber in the glass will turn to clay.

Dawn Spencer Hurwitz from North Boulder, Colorado, moves with her fragrances in the fluid border areas between perfumes, bespoke, aromatherapy, and collaborations with artists. I have been repeatedly amazed lately at how well her scents succeed with animalistic components.
A prime example of this is "Foxy," which, after a fruity-boozy opening where the acidity of apple whiskey harmonizes very pleasantly with warm-soft cognac, sharply spicy ginger, and sweet apricot peel, quickly shifts into Costus-fur-like, earthy animal notes. Subtly chocolatey-sweet iris aromas balance the rough hyrax traces beneath, while vanilla-musk-like amber skillfully smooths out the leathery-animal nuances, evoking a very appealing scent of the scalp for me, which gains a woolly waxy depth through resins and beeswax. Jasmine seems to be a connecting element here with its floral-fruity-animal aromas between heart and base, in which the clay-like notes of the Mitti Attar color the earthy-woody-resinous (benzoin, labdanum, amber, oak, moss) aromas gray. The essence behind the spirits glasses appears moderate to shadowy and yet remains there all night long.
