Riding a darker Raindeer
Inspired, you bury your eyes in the nearest warm reindeer back, smearing bitter black chocolate from your mouth into its dirty hair. All shaggy with earth and urine, the scent of ammonia in it long since dried and stale. You smell coffee beans that burned in the kitchen, in the stove-top pot, probably hours ago. The smoke drifts by like fog in the distance, but you'd rather sleep anyway. And so you will now follow other tracks, the dried droppings on the dusty paths that now lie leathery in the fur before you, through the darkness of this time.

It is absolutely amazing how Sultan Pasha has managed to recreate the smell of this species almost authentically from over 75% natural, unspecified plant-based raw materials in combination with synthetic deer musk flavors: "[it] quite faithfully recreates not only the tell tale signature of deer musk but also the different nuances felt across the different subspecies, from tropical vietnam all the way to freezing Siberia." he writes. To take the animalistic edge off the scent and make it more wearable, Pasha blended in a few resins. Nevertheless, he recommends using the fragrance as a layering nuance.
The fascinating thing is that this mixture of bitter-tart chocolate notes (presumably the resins play a role here), burnt coffee, the ammonia smell of stale urine on warm fur and spicy dried excrement is strangely appealing, you can literally immerse yourself in the increasingly darker notes of dusty earth and worn leather, as if an olfactory memory from archaic times has been awakened. The ride on the reindeer moderately projects through a long winter's night.
