End of the World
The devil has pressed the toaster, stuck the street canyons in it, swelled the shimmering air with ash that condenses on the gutters, tarring the brown brick walls. He's ignited a cinnamon storm in the desert, chased it over citrus orchards and through forests, and now medicinal camphor glistens cool and hot as pepper in the sky, and a hangover's glowing urine steams on the hot asphalt.
The little chocolate satan melts in the window of Zerelda Lee's Candy Store and from the drains green smoldering bog presses like bark-mulched boiling earth, in it already gleams a few labdanum crystals that give birth to sweet daffodils that gradually burn into spicy hay where the buck-legged one beds down, as a little goat, tarred and leathered.

"DevilScent #1" is one of Neil Morris' contributions to the 'Devil Scent Project', which also includes Alexis Karl and Maria McElroy (Cherry Bomb Killer Perfumes), Kedra Hart (Opus Oils), Dr Ellen Covey (Olympic Orchids), Amanda Feeley (Esscentual Alchemy), Katlyn Breene (Mermade Magical Arts) and Monica Miller (Skye Botanicals).
The World's End begins with smoky tar notes (birch tar, cedar juniper), with cool cinnamon, medicinal camphorous (boronia) and citrusy fresh spicy notes (elemi, satsuma) shining within. Soon some chocolate and distinct civet is perceptible before woody-earthy, musty-rooty and resinous tones (Nagarmotha, Labdanum) grow underneath as well as sweet narcissus above. This sweet-animal phase is the most difficult moment for me, before the oud, which is subtly perceptible from the beginning, now asserts itself together with the birch tar leathery, hay-like and awakens memories of a goat farm respectively some Lomros fragrances (for example Homa).
The world end is evening-filling and full of fantastic associative spaces.
