Oderbruch

The battle is over, the earth recovers from seemingly endless suffering.
churned earth with dark resin. Moss covers the firs and you can smell the animal hair from far away. I feel like I'm looking for you in the Dark Chapter of a lost species, where will I find you?

I enter another dimension, here churned earth becomes wet, muddy earth. In a landscape that is dark, foggy littered with light rain showers. I seek shelter in an old brick hut, the roof leaking. The walls are covered with moss and lime, the farm work is over because it is too cold. I look for something to warm me, the cloak of beaver fur seems perfect.
If I do not find you then I have to leave you behind!

Holy Grail Earthy Perfume

Find me in the Dark chapter 2 from The Unleashed Apothecary.
I had this fascination and propensity toward earthy, petrichor, dank, damp, and even swampy smells for a long time. I believe part of this is due to spending a good part of my childhood roaming the forests and the hills, many times during heavy rainfall. Also, spending time with my grandparents in the countryside where they had a damp basement. That scent always fascinated me and somehow stuck.
Therefore, I always searched for perfumes able to showcase that combination of wet soil, a dank cellar, moldy basement. I tried dozens and stopped at this one. This was the one I'd been looking for to capture that vision in smell, in perfume form. I consider this to be my favorite earthy perfume and since discovering it, I stopped searching.

However, this is quite a complex potion, not in the way it transitions from start to finish but rather in the way it concentrates various major accords into a whole. There is the strong soil, almost wet earth smell/accord. This is the first thing that hits you once you spray it. Then, there is the moldy, damp basement or cellar accord. If you are familiar with how a damp basement or a cellar smells, that scent is vividly captured here. Additionally, you get a wet fur accord, an animalistic facet created by the costus root. And lastly, the forest smell is evoked through the heavy usage of fir. Minor players are the sage in the opening, providing a nice aromatic touch, and the honey, which I believe fits great as it somehow balances the overall bitter flavor of this perfume. This could be a signature perfume for someone living in a forest, in a wooden cabin soaked by too many rainfalls, wearing animal pelts instead of clothes, brushing their teeth with earth, and perfuming themselves by rubbing some sage on their face. Raw, nature-like, animalistic, and unfiltered. And although I don't fit the aforementioned lifestyle, I love wearing this, especially when I crave something like that, or whenever I attend a heavy metal concert.

There are two more perfumes in this trilogy, part 1 and part 3. I find part 1 to be an apt predecessor as it is brighter, yet just as evocative and high quality, while I wasn't a fan of part 3 which I found a bit head-scratching as it didn't feel like it belongs with the other two, the quality wasn't at the same level, and the leather accord used had an almost latex feel to it making the perfume that much more confusing. Part 2 is definitely my favorite of the three, and I would recommend a sample to anyone who's into any of these accords or just looking for original and challenging/fun compositions.

Earthy and smoky vetiver

Second chapter of the Find Me In The Dark series.
Lost in a dark forest, it is raining and you are searching your lost friend.
Nearby a very carnal, animalistic scent mixed with of damp woody aroma.
A very earthy, "wet" fragrance, with marked hints of underbrush.
Costus is the key ingredient in triple tincture: first in alcohol, then a second infusion of the roots in the previous one and finally all reduced to very small particles.
Besides these sensations I also detect a smoky part, probably given by java vetiver.
