Pimped out
If it were not for "Violet", it could be presumed that the "Clouds" meant clouds of wood dust. Strangely woody and sawdust, today's candidate opens with a diffuse bitter tinge. I also imagine a hint of (patchouli?) cocoa. After about half an hour I come across the first tangible name-related hint, because it now smells like violet-necked pastilles.
There's also a carrot iris. And in interaction with the enigmatic wood, a remarkable phenomenon becomes apparent: I have often had the impression that artificial wood can be enhanced with iris, as smelled in Durgas' 'Italian Citrus' or in '[96Cm] Curium' by One of those / nu_be. Here, on the other hand, I experience that what works with natural wood (of which I have no doubt in this case) does not work, that is rather downright "pimped out". I'll keep watching.*
But the surprises are by no means over. The neck pastilles can also be reinterpreted as a varnish or cleaning agent impression and thus the ground is prepared for the primary school association described by Kayliz in her statement. I probably wouldn't have thought of it on my own, but the thought of it is a striking direct hit. My first classroom with the ollen, possibly decades old desks smelled like this, like a mixture of...well...wood, varnish, cleaning agents, wax crayons, pencil dust, maybe floor wax, I don't know.
Now the schools in England may smell different than ours - and it cannot be assumed anyway that Mrs. Yatsenko just had this smell in mind. Still, he is. The fact that towards the end a little more wood violets show up again, almost as if with a hint of early flowering, doesn't change anything about a funny experience.
Unfortunately, 'Violet Clouds' hardly gets beyond such a thing.
I thank Fluxit for the sample.
* With the alleged natural fragrance 'Cèdre & Iris Soyeux' by 100BON it worked perfectly with iris and wood. I very much hope that the comparatively cheap 100BONs are actually natural fragrances..
