The scent of darkness
One. The black veil of a barn, laughs blurred in rumpled earth begin to simmer. The hazy fruit of cattle. To coal the walls of pine. The scent of darkness. Two. The smoke. It drives you out with the animals, into the storm of chewing dust, into the wilderness, you breathe your leathery skin, the wooden mycelia of costus. Three. Milestones sink in vapors of sweet mossy swamps. They bore numbers. Four. Sprawl soft roots in damp clay, sprout sweet champaca blossoms of cream in the leathery landscape above, in the damp warm fruits of cattle, the distant smoldering pine. Five. The mushrooms are beginning to work. Only now? Are you sure? They stretch screens of forest floor soil, of mild musty mulchy bark over balsamic barks of sandal. Are you still counting? Six. Are such salty beads on your skin, resins drip like honey from time to time on withered undergrowth. Mushrooms still pulsing remnants of light. Wear a gentle face.

"Milestones" subtly moves through the associative spaces of various eagle woods. Beginning with a blend of coked pine, cocoa, medicinal-animalic Thai oud, and fruity-rooty-smoky Laos oud, sweeter, mossier, and animalic-leathery aromas of Indian oud and the loamy-rooty nuances of Cambodian oud soon come into play. Champaka contributes creamy sweetness. Beeswax and amber set few resinous luminous pearls. At times, I thought I smelled sunny salty skin. Kostus underscores the animalic-rootiness while bridging to the woodier base notes, which create the image of a mulched forest floor through the mushrooms. The scent of darkness works moderately over eight hours.
