A moment has remained
Someone has been here, just a moment ago. A moment has remained. A table in the sparse kitchen in the morning. A still life in cool streaks. You still have to get used to the silence, with the dust floating in the light above, with the silvery steam flags of chai tea aromas, nutmeg and cardamom echoing from the leftovers in the cups, cinnamon-brown residues like resins, over the traces of days gone by, bitter herbs and bay leaves on the old wooden top. The pepper mill has fallen over. Not now, but at some point. There is the wilted smell of jasmine, littering your skin with wrinkles. You pause in the amber at the bottom of the cups. A moment seems trapped in it. Some time has just left the room.

Kevin Peterson from Sfumato in Detroit, Michigan, uses only plant-based raw materials for his Artisan fragrance creations. He is convinced that humans have created a kind of collective olfactory memory over the course of evolution, whereby natural fragrances are able to develop and transport subtle stimulus reactions over thousands of years. Natural scents are therefore time capsules.
"Gravitas deepens, and deepens with thought" writes Peterson on his homepage, and the fragrance does indeed strike many associative chords in its very subtle way. First there is cool spiciness (black pepper), which releases bitter green, clove-like bay notes and a little coriander under tart citrus traces (mandarin), before cardamom, nutmeg and the cinnamony Peru balsam in the heart are reminiscent of chai tea. With coffee and cardamom in the pyramid, I was actually expecting more of a Berber coffee aroma. Benzoin then carries the fragrance further into a medicinal balsamic base. Discreetly idolic jasmine occasionally evokes distant thoughts of old skin, slightly musty, but strangely enough not unpleasant. A full-length, bitter-tart time capsule that closes over warm, spicy aromas in amber.
