A Funeral as a Fragrance
As much as I love the concept, I hate the scent. It lacks neither complexity nor is the fragrance bad per se. I think it’s about me and my previous experiences. When I smell it, I have a strong physical reaction to this scent - complete aversion. I want to get away from it as quickly as possible.
Yes, it reminds one of a rainy day. But it’s not the fresh, beautiful rain that falls on the earth in summer. In this rain, you stand at the cemetery, at a fresh grave. It gives off a grotesque note, like a dark premonition. A dark November day that brings nothing but sorrow. Sweet, musty, wet.
I consciously give the fragrance a good rating, even though I can’t stand it. In my opinion, good art leaves a lasting impression - whether positive or negative.
