Peeling back layers of wispy nightgowns and silk scarves wrapped around dried clumps of ylang ylang petals, you wonder how your clothes have felt, crammed into a musty corner all this time. It’s not musty, though—oddly, it’s an earthen smell that’s emanating from under the layers of quickly-shed garments and careful drawings of the local flora. Somehow, you’ve created an ecosystem in your room, the pear cores you threw haphazardly into a wastebasket weeks ago in perfect harmony with the sweat stains that polka dot your wardrobe. It’s like you’re seeing your own habitat for the first time. A strange moss seems to be growing out of a long-ignored crack in the wall, like nothing you’ve ever seen on this earth, but you ignore it for now as you wrap your hair in silk and head out into the balmy night.
Notes
Top - Persian lime, black cumin
Middle - Ylang ylang petals, pear flesh
Base - Boronia flower blooms, damp earth
