Wuthering Heights
Ruthlessly the cool feelings are burning over the windswept heights of the Yorkshire moors. Knotty pine trees stand diagonally on rugged heath cliffs, which still rise from the marshy moors for the sake of dramaturgy. Winds blow through the wild hair of Heathcliff, who, in an inexplicable state of rapture, tumbles through peppermint, swirling cool green clouds, enveloping him in an ethereal aura. In a surreal sequence of nature-mystical metaphor, the pine weeps a few needles whose pods on Heathcliff's skin split and contain light-colored resins.
Then squalls soon bring bergamots that encircle the mint like sweet limes, ripe, almost orange in the scenery. I am Heathcliff, dripping from Cathy's lips. The words fade away, the mint, the peels, then it gets quiet on Wuthering Heights Silently, the conifers almost fall into the earthy grasses, Heathcliff becomes one with the heather cliffs, then nothing more happens for two hours.

"Heathcliff" is a perfume oil from Tanya Kuznetsova's Ravenscourt Apothecary, which she has been running in London since 2013. In addition to natural perfume oils, which are naturally limited in shelf life (about three to five hours) and sillage (rather arm-length to skin-tight), she also manufactures other products such as natural soaps.
"Heathcliff" is a green, ethereally fresh fragrance dedicated to the eponymous protagonist in Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights", which is also seen as a personified metaphor for the unbridled nature of the Yorkshire moors. This works just as well with the ethereal mint at the beginning (where mint could stand for Heathcliff's wild character) as it does with the base of earthy vetiver and pine (the original vegetation of the upland moors). But what the bergamot is doing in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales remains Kuznetsova's secret.
