Soft island grass, sunbaked citrus where the tradewinds blow. Panama hats, cane plants, and aged rhum over the finest Caribbean vetyver.

The wild shrill of Indie rock coming through the college radio station in hot August heat. Ripe fig, iris, coconut milk, tonka and dry blond woods.

A ritual in the holy Kiso forest: ceremonial katana unguent of rare woods, temple incense, leather bushi armor.

A pure vision of India—Kashmiri saffron, frangipani, gardenia, yellow lotus attar, and damask rose with fine Sri Lankan sandalwood and vetiver.

Jungle, humidity, snake plants, jazmín yucateco, crocodile by the cenote, shaded temple, limestone ruins.

Palatial doses of the finest floral absolutes– tuberose, orris butter, orange blossom, sambac jasmine, chrysanthemum, and ylang. Unimaginably narcotic.
