Really, really wonderful writing! I do tend to shy away from very challenging fragrances, and this is the best argument I’ve ever heard for at least giving them a sniff. But also, as a writer myself, I just want to encourage you to keep writing like this because it’s just thrilling for me to read your vivid, eccentric, and passionate language, and I’d say you have a very special talent
I loved this post! I immediately imagined spritzing this on while reading through a science journal - a whiff of choking fire and singed nostrils to accompany articles about the dinosaur-killing asteroid, as well as current climate calamities.
I enjoyed hearing your family's reaction to it. Do they ever all like the same fragrance? What's a gentler smoky one? Without the sweetness you mentioned? Grandpa's pine tar soap is the only one I can find that isn't sweet 😂
I love reading your posts! I would love to have someone to sniff weird perfumes with- my husband tolerates my sample sniffing, but isn’t fascinated like I am, lol. Reading your precisely evocative words is the next best thing- thank you!
I love falling in love with scents that are surface-level vile. Scents that the average user would recoil at. Scents that make me recoil … at first … until you just surrender your olfactory mindset to whatever transgressive bits and pieces your nose picks up on and just let the fragrance be the jungle cat undercarriage, barnyard, moldy flowers, dusty bedspread, burning oil slick, rusty boat hull, lizard rear end majesty that it is. There is something quite powerful in being able to fully embrace those transgressive type scents.
I just wanted to say that I think you’re writing is absolutely brilliant.

Love your writing, love your appetite for adventure in fragrance. I’m dying that your family held a meeting and made you leave the room 😂

Fantastic article!
I agree 100%.....Character should be a note listed on some fragrances.
I love this brand. I am sad they changed the bottles, but I will always be a fan of the juice, regardless of the container.
Thank you.
