What remains after a trip to the district court…
Scent developments are often far less adventurous or special than the fuss created by the creators (or the marketing strategists) around them, or what various associations might come to mind for us. Perhaps a business interpretation of a scent development - the (short) life of a startup - is still missing. Well then, let’s get started.
The “active” development of Éros is indeed short and intense. And undoubtedly captivating. Bergamot. With honey. Hot lemon for a cold perhaps (young entrepreneurs can’t afford to catch a cold). Just not that sour. Rather tastier, more aromatic.
But also sweet stuff. I am reminded of the gummy “peaches” from Haribo. Also, a sharp fruit candy note, like those Campino “fruit” candies with the half hole in them. Well, late at night in the office or in the studio, one occasionally needs a quick hit of easily combustible carbohydrates. So much to do: Those who start a business as self-employed are known to work constantly.
But after a few minutes, muted, tart citrus fruit dominates. Now it’s a distinct, bitter orange note. With a lot of finesse, the marigold has been treated. One of the worst garden stinkers ever, here, however, used carefully to support the bitterness. It shouldn’t scare anyone off or make them give up; rather, it - oops? - rather creates a feeling of Campari. One must also master disciplined celebration, especially if one wants to be part of social life. For style upstarts, a party - at least that’s how I imagine it - can easily turn into work alongside careful planning of one’s appearance. A luxury problem for members of the haute volée, but not for a young Dane named Jensen, who is starting from scratch.
And the good man has undoubtedly achieved a certain prominence. The best proof of this is the mere fact that I had already heard the name before. That means something in this context.
After half an hour, the scent takes on a kind of dessert character. Various fruits allow the imagination to wander, sometimes this, sometimes that; ideas can flow continuously; certainly, such a flow is indispensable for a designer. Unlike an established artist, they cannot afford endless creative breaks.
What do we have? Kiwi comes to mind. Peach - this time not from a lab. Banana is more of a distant hint, something creamy in that direction. Canned mandarin. Et cetera. Well, there are no limits to the imagination when it comes to cocktails. Additionally, there is indeed a light alcohol note. I believe that this piercing impression is still contributed by the marigold. Fruit salad with a sweet, vanilla-toned cream is soon my thought.
After two hours, a waxy note of budding ambers settles over the scent, as if it should now be slowed down. An hour later, we have already reached a comparatively unsweet amber-vanilla base. A remnant of citrus fruit works wonders - the undeterred bitter orange. In hour five, we have arrived at a gentle, calm amber base, floral and enveloping. Still a hint of light bitterness. But above all, tranquility.
To file for insolvency, one goes to the relevant district court. In the dark years at our company, this was almost a catchphrase: “Well, then we just have to go to the district court…”. Fortunately, we didn’t have to, but it was damn, damn close. One learns something as a business economist - fair weather can be handled by anyone. Just a side note.
The time of anxiety and maneuvering during a crisis is terrible. I can well imagine that - once the necessary step has been taken - an insolvency of one’s own company can indeed feel liberating, at least if one has not personally done anything wrong and does not face personal ruin: Finally peace, everyone has clarity, and the signs may even point to a new beginning. After all, all the ideas are still there, now supplemented by invaluable experiences.
People like Bent Angelo Jensen, who dare to go without a safety net and double bottom, deserve our respect.
Many thanks to Ergreifend for the sample!
