Bourbon vanilla in champagne
A structural experiment in drama, built to force a multi-stage narrative on the skin.
Version log — newest first
Every iteration lands here as I move it forward. Some progress fast. Some sit on the bench for months. Some never make it out at all.
This one is a structural experiment in drama. It's built in hyper-specific blocks to force a multi-stage narrative on the skin. It opens like an effervescent, sparkling candy shop — a juicy collision of a custom Pear Accord, bright citrus accords, and sharp aldehydes balanced with leafy greens.
Then the story twists. It collapses into a dark vanilla heart of vanillin and rich coumarin, before dropping into a smooth wood-cream of Ebanol and Cashmeran. The whole thing finishes in a sticky, ancient base of Tolu Balsam, Frankincense, and a lingering trail of luxury musks.
It needs the same aggressive treatment as the others to get the balance right. I'm aiming for bourbon vanilla in champagne. But it's not even close right now.
