The night of the nomad

How many worlds and how many images had it been since he was there in the wilderness? All the adventures, the wanderings through the wonderful, the encounters with the threatening, the banal. It seemed like an eternity to him. A nomad needs a tent for the night. His was made of animal skin, worn and old.
When he pitched it, tart spices breathed bitter mugwort and camphor from the places where ash still was from all the past fire, the moisture from the rain, the dark oil from the birch tar. And earth it was that he smelled when he crawled in at evening, the charred sapwood of the knotty timbers still smouldering within. In it he saw a glow, tiny warm flames, the balsam dancing amber, tomorrow out there the world would be wild again, for today he was home.
***
"Nomads" is determined by the combination of smoky oily oud and dark leather, carried by birch tar notes. Thus, sometimes the impression of damp ash on old animal skin, which is still littered with dry brown spices at the beginning as well as ethereal-bitter drops of Artemisia. In the fade-out, some musk flickers, traces of amber sparkle in the ash. The tent smells about six to seven hours moderate to skin.
