Pictures of Bucolic Summer Fields
Moments were painted on tobacco leaves. Sun shone over sepia fields, sky shimmered sharp silver like cool camphor over the images of bitter cumin and dried stalks, of flying hay over clayey soils, still soft from the past summer rain, still moist were the roots lying within, and somewhere in the distance, animals were in the shade of a barn. Warm seemed the light in the tobacco leaves, myrrh pulsed through their veins, like nectar in wild summer flowers that hummed with the spices above the earth.

Abby Hinsman handcrafts her botanical fragrances. Most of the materials she either grows herself or harvests in her two-and-a-half-acre forest in Vermont. Accordingly, both her fragrances and delivery times vary, as she only produces very small batches.
"Mars in Venus" begins with a spicy-cool accord of camphor-like bitter cardamom, bitter-fennel cumin, a bit of civet, and orange blossom, before soon bright tobacco leaf, hay (immortelle), and earthy-rooty aromas (oud, vetiver) become more dominant. Alongside the sweet myrrh resin, which adds more volume to the fragrance, light animalistic undertones of oud create the impression of a bucolic summer landscape. The image remains close to the skin for a good eight hours.
