Traveling through a world of roots
Munro rubbed his eyes in amazement, there were so many green worms up there. They glistened dew from lime peels, fluttered bergamot wings and flickered their mint leaf hairs on the licorice tree branches. Beetles strung wisps of incense between the shivering fingers of the cedars. And Munro walked through arcades of roots of bitter earths and nutty tubers, some tart as lemons, others light as flowers, others like fleeting whiffs of terpenes in mirages over distant gas stations that blurred into green resins like drifting patterns in his mind. Inspired, Munro was still heard to marvel: "I am traveling in root worlds! Under leather umbrellas in bark boats, he drifted along a path of mosses.

The self-taught artist Arthur Clayton Emrick comes from a rural area in Michigan, where his connection to natural scents apparently originates: "wild flowers, grasses, deep woods, and the rivers and lakes of his childhood" it says on his homepage. Together with his wife Jackie, he runs his label Jinx in Canandaigua, New York.
"Owasco" was released exclusively on the crowdfunding platform Patreon and focuses primarily on cool green citrus, mint and vetiver notes. The vetiver varieties in particular unfold a rather wide range of typical grass root aromas: there are floral-light, citrus-fresh, nutty-bulbous, earthy and also very subtle petrol-smoky notes, which form the iridescent carpet under the initially fresh minty hesperides in the top note, which are characterized by bitter aniseed notes. In the heart, the vertiver quickly becomes more creaky, seeming to take on a texture of leathery wood fibers (leather, oud, cedar), somewhat rotten and rough. The resins (bright, citrusy frankincense, slightly rubbery myrrh and later the softer styrax) weave a fine veil in the background. Neroli is rather prominent in the heart and can sometimes stand up to the vetiver. However, the earthy, creaky aromas remain dominant until the base, where the woods increasingly give the roots an edge, underlined by oakmoss. The journey through the world of roots projects clearly to moderate and lasts a long day.
