Wild Hunt

Fragrances, hopefully the better ones, have a tendency to bring back memories. Wild Hunt is no exception. Almost instantaneously Wild Hunt brought back summer memories of lying on the sand at Baldwin Beach near South Lake Tahoe. The smell of warm sand along with the smell of sugar pine, red fir and a few aspen trees in the background is what I get from Wild Hunt. When I smell the bottle directly it smells like the towel that I was lying on minus the sunscreen. The projection is just right, not too strong, not too weak. When I move around I get whiffs of it that make me smile remembering all the good family times we had at Baldwin Beach. The tincture note of Wild Hunt is similar to Black March. If Black March is suppose to evoke the first winter thaw than I would say Wild Hunt is late summer to early fall. There is a "no fragrance" policy where I work. Wild Hunt smells so natural that I could easily wear this to work without anyone thinking I am wearing a fragrance. I will definitely wear this to work tomorrow to fight off the case of the Mondays (think the movie "Office Space"). Highly recommended!

Christopher Brosius says of Wild Hunt: "This is the fourth scent in my series of primal smells. Wild Hunt is the scent of an ancient forest in the heat of a summer afternoon. It is a blend of Torn Leaves, Crushed Twigs, Flowing Sap, Fallen Branches, Old Leaves, Green Moss, Fir, Pine and Tiny Mushrooms." I bought it from his website and it smelled as described. He uses accords which he creates himself. Christopher Brosius's scents reveal themselves in layers. "Wild Hunt" opens with earthy and woody scents. It is followed by the scent of fir and pine. Next i get hints of spices, although i can't identify which. After this comes the scent of hidden flowers, not light, not strong, but somewhat heady and seductive, yet the spice and woods remain. I am a now a fan of CB I Hate Perfume and have purchased 4 others, none of which are currently in the Fragrantica data base. I hope i have the opportunity to review them as well.

più una composizione concettuale che un profumo in senso stretto, non per nulla questa fragranza è stata creata dal laboratorio I hate perfume, e come tale si inserisce in una più ampia sperimentazione di sensazioni olfattive di reminiscenza proustiana. siamo in campagna, probabilmente in autunno o dopo la pioggia, in un pomeriggio tardo, se non di sera: c'è odore di terra umida, di fogliame, di funghi, di resine, di conifera, di vegetazione che sta per decomporsi. il risultato è gradevole, assai evocativo, non prepotente ma piuttosto intimo, tanto da rimanere come un odore percepittibile solo da chi lo indossa in un piccolo, personale viaggio nella memoria. molto buono.

Yes, this is it. I have searched high and low for the perfect dirt, wood, grass, and leaves fragrance. Technically, I was searching for a fragrance reminiscent of a compost pile but this is close enough. Oh dear, this one is giving my #1 stiff competition.I am so in love with Tauer Verdant but this piece of work has me begging for more. Is this legal, to fall in LOVE with an inanimate object? If not, then I must say that I just broke the law because this powerful dirt bomb and me just got hitched! We well be together forever and live happily ever after.

This brings me back to my childhood: It's been a rainy day, me and my father are going mushroom picking. We go to the forest. It's autumn, so the leaves are covering the wet ground. I sit down to pick a mushroom and inhale. The dirt, the almost rotten wet leaves, the mushrooms. That's what I feel from "wild hunt". And it's so amazing and addictive. Ok, not wearable, but so lovely. Those were my happy days - me and my dad going mushroom picking. Too bad that grown ups (me) don't have time for that anymore.
