Zachary gets an answer
Zachary's spiritual promiscuity sometimes took strange turns. Humming, he shuffled through a narrow, lightless store in a small New England town, wetting himself in front of a spice rack of old rusty metal. Swirls of white dust traced a few rays of sunlight diagonally across the room, overlapping with the warm incense from the drive-in chapel that still smoldered as mist from his clothes as he stood in front of a wooden shrine with scriptures hypnotizing him. Have you got something with religion too? he murmured into the room as the cool corrosion of the metal shelf disappeared entirely into the clove spices, balsamic resins, woods soaked in tart honey along with the scriptures and Zachary began to breathe evenly, there was no evil thought in him and the answer had failed to come.
**
"An Excellent Day For An Exorcism" begins with the most distinct metallic note I've smelled yet, cool, sweet and sour, a little like blood, it is human contact after all that gives metal a smell in the first place. This scent is accompanied by a not-too-bitter clove that adds to the coolness of the metallic impression, while at the same time adding the necessary astringency to the warm, balsamic, almost fruity-resinous incense, which in turn soon frees the woody base from the dusty dry parchment notes and allows the rather skin-deep scent to fade out tartly woody-resinous after five or six hours.
Sixteen92, based in Fort Worth, Texas, has been making small-batch fragrances since 2014. Claire Baxter draws inspiration from history, literature, lore and magic. Her creations are available as oils, perfumes, and/or extracts.
