A Meta-Review

Make a thought photograph. Write down what you do not see. What you perceive. Are you influenced? Have you detached yourself from foreign images? They are still there, perhaps subconsciously. It's time to close your eyes.
Fuzzy soft roots pulse bitter buttery cream through the veins onto a dark leathery back. As if you and a diamond-shaped creature were bridged by an iris. Green fairy from bioluminescence plays a tuberose balloon, trumpet-shaped, silky flesh membrane, whispered floral notes. On the bathed skin of a girl, tiny sour roses. Above, a quiet rustling, white listening, shimmering hair in glowing waves that wash over your scalp, mossy shells extinguishing in fire, spicy smoke in gentle hissing, salt edges on cistus bushes, mixing bark mulch into earth liqueur, blurring thoughts in alcohol mist, in the midst, afterwards and in between.
Write it down. So that it can be understood. I don't know if that's possible. They are wild notes on a Post-It. Sentence fragments on A4 graph paper. They stand at the top of the second section. Scent, very emotional and delicate. As if all that is written merges into a fragrance of familiar skin, floral and wild, coarse-leathery and mild, a liqueur-like shimmer with salty edges and smoke remnants from campfires, from moss and roots, from mulchy woods and resin-stuck pelts, stirred into an enchanting cream, handcrafted and in small batches by a woman from Vermont, Abby Hinsman. That's enough manufacturer information. Who is supposed to read all this?

Post-It Notes
IRIS ROOT: creamy, buttery, bitter, animalistic - ZIBET: coarse-leathery - COSTUS ROOT: scalp, fur, smoke - Absinthe: green alcohol mist, fennel, anise - TUBEROSE: silky, fleshy, merges with iris - Rose: bitter skin after rose bath - CHOYA NAKH: mossy shell roasted salt, smoke - Labdanum: like amber in shell salt - Oud: mulchy dark - Patch: earth liqueur, rooty

By the way, Panther (not listed here yet) smells very similar - just a bit softer. It's supposed to be the more feminine counterpart.

You must live in a library and conjure up these fantastic descriptions from there. Once again, you've created wonderful imagery. I really enjoyed reading it. Wishing you a colorful, beautiful, and relaxing Easter in advance. Best wishes 🥰 🙋‍♀️ 🐇🌷💙

I think "thought photography" is great and absolutely fitting when I consider the images that sometimes pop up in my mind.

Post-its tend to get lost sometimes.
That would be a shame in this case.

…. Phew 😵‍💫 …. even when I close my eyes to translate your words into scent images, they come together with difficulty ;) …. There’s so much contrast here that surprisingly works really well together …… silk flesh membrane - - - I’m blown away! ….. and your text is an abstract masterpiece at its finest :)) …..

Silky, meaty tuberose sounds amazing! I've just become cautious with civet. But overall, it seems like a fantastic fragrance. It really knocked you off your feet! :-)

A completely new genre! I tried it right away and closed my eyes. Unfortunately, all I got was scribbles, and I couldn't read it afterwards. Maybe I did something wrong? Anyway, I’m sticking with it; it was meta here!

Sounds good, nicely put into words, and I actually don’t think solids are that bad. They never really caught on, even though LUSH, as a major brand, tried to reintroduce solids.

On a meta level, the Post-it inspiration is on fire! Excellent.

Do you have a photo of your Post-Its? Of the checkered paper? Do you use colored pens? Are there doodles between the worlds? Arrows, lines, exclamation marks? Where's the cream? What's crossed out, painted over? Do your fingers fly over the keyboard? Can they keep up with your thoughts fast enough? Does your heart race? Does it feel good to read the finished text?
You're a blessing!

A great review! It must be a wonderful scent that you really like. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite inspired while reading it, so I don't fully understand yet.
Best regards!

Did I understand everything? Honestly, I’m not sure! Many of the notes are unfamiliar to me, but I like some of them just as you describe! If you’re giving it a 9.5, it can’t be bad!

Abby Hinsman seems not only to create witchy scents but also to be one herself. Very likable.
