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.

The opening is Daphne (flowers), followed by the smell of loamy soil with a bit of charcoal, ending with that bitter smell of smashing ants.

Yeah, it's Comme des Garcons for sure.

The bitter smell of smashing ants probably comes from formic acid, also the active ingredient in bee stings.
