The extraterrestrial lizard amulet

He was lying on his back and raving about lizards. Of alien lizards. The friendly kind from exoplanets in distant galactic outskirts. They had come all the way to us in search of vanilla ice cream, found Earth and what grew from it and started dancing with joy. All of this was captured in his amulet.
It glowed like a lemon candy on a fiber of basil. He put it on me. Its dirty filling of tobacco shavings and woody balsam poured onto the cognac-soaked prunes of my still confused thoughts. They soon sprouted chocolate blossoms with fruits in leaves of flowery silks on thin green herbaceous threads down into mulchy barks. Wrapped in a cloth of velvety sandalwood, vanilla tobacco leaves were found there, which disappeared after a few hours in spicy mists in the universe.

Eric from House of Heartistry runs his one-man indie artisan label exclusively via Instagram, where you can get in touch with him directly if you want to purchase one of his creations, all of which are released in small editions.
"Lizard Mojo" is a collaboration with the Bristol-based artist Psychrome, who designed the cover illustration, originally for the gaming platform Overlord.xyz, which is probably where the somewhat confused story about the fragrance comes from, that it depicts friendly alien lizards that visited Earth in search of vanilla ice cream and started dancing with joy at the scents they discovered.
Indeed, one enters the amulet (Mojo) via an accord of citrus with a tart hint of basil, overlaid with dirty, balsamic-tobacco, woody-dry amber, before notes of dried fruit and dried plum in cognac (Davana) emerge underneath. A rather fruity-herbaceous jasmine with a white chocolatey effect - I'm guessing iris here - forms the bridge to more floral notes (tulip tree), which are gradually replaced in the base by velvety sandalwood notes, vanilla tobacco (amber) and earthy-mulchy oud.
Although the concentration of the mixed-media fragrance is relatively high at 29%, the lizard amulet projects moderate to skin-deep and also rather average in length, in which it skillfully maintains the balance between green-herbal-citrusy, floral-sweet-dry-fruity and an ambergris-oud-sandal accord.
