Overdosed Feelings of Well-Being, Bipolar Cotton Candy, and the Mind-Body Problem

Behold, my friend, you are beautiful! Your eyes sparkle like cognac behind your iris powder-colored veil. Your hair is like a herd of goats descending from the mountains. Your lips are like a lovely rose-colored string. Your temples are behind your veil like slices of pink grapefruit. Your two breasts are like two gazelle kids grazing under rose blossoms. Until day breaks and the shadows fade, I want to go to the pink cotton candy mountain and the incense hill. How delicious is your love, my sister, dear bride! Delicious like rose champagne. And your scent surpasses all spices. From your lips, my bride, pear juice drips. Vanilla and cognac are under your tongue, and the scent of your clothes is salty like your skin. You are like a pleasure garden of pears and grapefruit and roses, with all kinds of incense shrubs, iris, and vanilla orchids. Arise, North Wind, and come, South Wind, and blow through my garden, that its fragrance may flow and I may bloom internally!
-----
Attached to my bottle is a transparent sheet on which it is printed, “Bipolar Cotton Candy. Overusing might cause excessive agreeableness.” Excessive consumption can thus lead to excessive feelings of well-being, understood. This fits Ömer's recommendation for the first wear: “For your first time, I highly recommend putting on a sweet song and overspraying the fragrance. Even if you are normally a skeptical jerk.” I am more of an easily enthusiastic fool than a skeptic, but it worked all the more, hallelujah!
This fragrance is pink like its shimmering bottle, yes, and right from the start, there is something dirty-animalistic, but neither beaver nor cow barn nor oud. Sichuan pepper can have a somewhat sour-dirty-animalistic quality, and Ömer İpekçi skillfully and shamelessly brings that out here: grapefruit plus Sichuan pepper plus really well-used synthetics (certainly synthetic musk notes, Iso-E, and synthetic floral notes) create this strangely bodily-animalistic and fascinating note described so aptly by Profumo and Can777. Yes, pear with a Nashi-like sweetness is also present, strangely it doesn’t bother me at all here, and something rose-iris-like, slightly tipsy from cognac, which doesn’t care at all whether it all fits together. It is wonderful! Now and then, vanilla incense wafts through the picture and the mind. The slightly sweaty-salty-dirty-human skin scent remains in a slightly subdued form until the end.
-----
On the back of the translucent insert is an excerpt from a scientific text discussing, from the perspective of philosophy and neuroscience, how the separation of body and soul and of conscious and unconscious could be overcome, and to what extent the mind tends to such dualisms again and again. I don’t want to bore you with details here, but Ömer's series “Reset Collection” deals with the question of how fragrances can strengthen and integrate different levels of consciousness: Blacklight is about mental consciousness, Flesh about physical, Yes, Please aims to give space to the emotional level in a “seductive, weightless atmosphere,” and Purpl is about ways into and especially out of consensual reality (that is, what is considered real within a certain group or culture). Well.
-----
I simply stick to the overdosed enjoyment of the bipolar sparkling pink cotton candy, sometimes dirty, sometimes painfully sour, sometimes beautifully sweet-vanilla, shimmering like the bottle. Dirty funky iris powdered sugar, sensual, animalistic, salty, enchanting. Especially towards the end, waves of vanilla incense float like sweet mists through the air. Yes, please!

The mentioned scientific text:

The initial text is a rewriting of chapter four from the Song of Solomon.

Famous review that I just discovered… the meatiness totally intrigues me again, but I’d probably be skeptical about the synthetics since I can now pick out Iso very quickly and even find it bothersome… but this one sounds exciting and will definitely be tested at some point (Flesh also sounds very interesting).

Really well written and very enjoyable to read. But cotton candy really puts me off. Had it once and never again 😂 and it's so sweet... Anyway... It was worth the experience just for your amazing fragrance description!

A sensational review for my taste. Just the scent might put me off 😉 Too much humanity is usually not pleasant for me... so I'll leave the scent to you and enjoy your words instead!

I would understand "agreeableness" as you smelling pleasant to others... I tested the fragrance in 2021 and thought it was good too, especially the fact that the grapefruit stood out for me. But I didn't find it really spectacular.

"I don't want to bore you with details here." 🤔 To that, I say: Yes! Please! Keep boring me with more details!!! I'm easily excited and find the part about overcoming dualisms very intriguing! I probably wouldn't have noticed the scent without your text, but now it's going on my wishlist. 🏆

Great anthem! It used to be on my wishlist, but I took it off because of my fear of animal notes. I still find the concept interesting, but... 🤭🫣

I have to honestly admit that I didn't understand half of the scientific text (maybe even two-thirds), but the connection between philosophy and neuroscience is extremely interesting. Thank you for the inspiration.

Incredible, what you're describing sounds mostly off-putting to me, from the cotton candy (even if bipolar) to the nashi pear. But the way you describe it suggests that it might be worth letting go of my prejudices and just giving in to it - overdose and all.

I think it's pretty great too, especially everything I've experienced from the Reset line so far. It really explores a rare category where it doesn't seem to matter whether it's synthetic or 'natural'.

What did Oemer Ipekçi put in there?
Anyway, enjoy the complex cotton candy; sometimes I can handle scents like that too. It’s worth a try.
It's time for pink. 💝

Colleague Ponticus has put it perfectly. With perfume, anything is possible. The ingredient list seems completely harmless and innocuous at first. But the scent definitely has a hidden depth.
The grapefruit can sometimes come off a bit sweaty, and then I'm not so fond of it.
Great description once again! 🏆

King Solomon knew what was good. It’s no coincidence that he was the wisest person to ever live. I’m sure he would have liked your text. And I’m a bit surprised that the cotton candy reached your heart of fragrance. 😁 The scent really seems to be complex. Well written! ❤️🌸
