Tracking in the Vast Savanna
The morning pours its absinthe green from glasses over this horizon and the next. You can really become wild. Out here. Alone. Nothing but the endless expanse of the savannas. In the scent of fresh horse tracks, you creep on your knees and elbows over the dusty ground. Your hands, long turned into ragged leather with cheesy grease in the creases, begin to search the earth for traces that have faded into pearlescent powders blowing over wildly grown roots. You would love to stroke their greasy fur. But they shy away from your face made of salty seashells, ground by time into white lime and crumbling on flesh and flower skin, on eye-wide delicate waves numbing with shimmering silk.

Abby Hinsman crafts her 100% natural fragrances by hand. Most of the materials are either grown by her or harvested from her two-and-a-half-acre forest in Vermont. Accordingly, both her fragrances and delivery times vary, as she only produces very small batches.
That her floral-leathery-animalic scents consistently succeed particularly well is also evident in "Panther." Right from the start, bright green herbs flow with an almost vermouth-like absinthe over powdery-earthy iris butter, while animalic-cheesy horse stable notes emerge, fur-like-leathery (Jonquille, Civet, Costus), which appear more transparent and bright in the heart of salty shell limestone and finally settle on silky shimmering, fleshy, and simultaneously chewy tuberoses. The rose adds just a bit of sour brightness to the floral notes, minty-earthy patchouli underpins iris butter and tuberose, while the oud seems to support the earthy-animalic aromas with rotten wood fibers. For a solid, the traces of the savanna project moderately but surprisingly long.
