let's play pretend

You have been hired by Company X to make their new Spring scent for next year, and to take all the time and money you need to on producing it.

What does it smell like?
What notes do you want to put in it?
Does it tell a story or paint a picture?
How complex or simple or well-blended is it?

What are your scent inspirations for this Spring season and what are you loving? Let's talk perfume.

Very little petrichor. It's mostly wet greens from the volunteer ferns right outside the back door. In a few weeks the rosebush will start blooming and until about October it'll have anywhere from two to a dozen roses open at once. I've got both sweet and purple basil and the rain bruises the leaves just enough for a little bit of the smell to happen. How much strawberry happens depends on how recently we've cut the grass. Right now the whole back yard is covered in little yellow flower and tiny red strawberries.

Basil and rose works surprisingly good together, at least as it happens directly from my plants.
