Woolen pig to steam engine: Call me Knorrli
French steam lock lubricating oil. Museum Railway.
Not polished to a high gloss. Béret instead of pimple cap.
The oil has already done some work. Thick brown the consistency.
The steam engine is in Sleeping Beauty Depot. Still cold.
Black oil stains on the cold naked floor.
The engineer oils his locomotive.
Call me Knorrli.
The black boiler is fired up. With gnarled birch logs.
And tarry juniper from rough mountain country On the last trip, one of them threw a tire into the fire.
The stoker slurps a homemade vegetable soup.
The smoke is smoking in his scary face He already wore his Sappeur jacket yesterday, when he had Black Forest Ham with Hasi ass.

Cambouis by Gaglewski Grasse is a technical fragrance. Cambouis means lubricating oil. And specifically used lubricating oil. Lubricating oil that you can smell in the halls of technical museums - department of historical ship engines and locomotives. Except for the human sapphire jacket made of coarse material, there is no human being in the fragrance - a fragrance like Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf.

An uncompromising olfactory replica of mainstream grandiosity and pseudo-nonsense in a fine-expensive cloth, without falling into the brut-niche of the confusing scent images.

But real, technically well made niche - not only for railway romantics. Like a Märklin catalog from the 1950s. Or the Wullesau.

Technical explanations:

- Knorrli = bulky person.

-Unfortunately the scent is not easy to find. The easiest way to order it is at Manufactum (make sure to order the Swiss Pitralon aftershave). However, blind purchases are strongly discouraged.

-Wullesau/Wullesou = wool pig. Thick sweater made of wool from the Swiss Army in 1962. A legend! And stylish alternative to fibre fur/Softshell/etc. for a walk, a ride on the open museum train, an outdoor cheese fondue chat or the winter-cold screwdriver workshop. To be found in some army shops.
