smokey, phenolic horse recipe

Ok, it's time for some honesty now. My original idea for a leather scent, posted earlier, is not working. I met Vero yesterday, dear Vero, my mentor, friend and perfumer. We were smelling the core structure of this supposed to be leather scent and ...ah.... it is not there, not at all. At least, I have already started a new core structure, which is far from being finished and luckily enough, this one seems to come better.

But the previously described fragrance might best be described following this recipe:
Take a horse (if you do not have a real horse, a donkey might work too, but needs longer smoking). Let it run for two hourse until it is thoroughly damp and sweaty. Give it an oxygen mask and let it stand for 5 hours in the smoking lounge of Zurich airport (which I think is sponsored by the Camel brand, isn’t this ironical?...). Before this smoking process, rub in lots of the perfume stuff from the duty free store which is on sales. Do not forget to thoroughly cover the back. Dip (oxygen mask still on) the outmost tip of its tail in fresh Kerosene (carefully making sure not the get any stuff on its skin) and let the animal stand for two hours in the First Class lounge. Give it lots of carrots and tender loving care, as this environment might come as a surprise for little horse/donkey. After the two hours, take a deep breath within the lounge and you will come close to my little experiments on leathers

(Finally, bring the nice, patient animal out in the open field, wash it thoroughly, dry it and let it stroll around in the open air for a while)

Hee hee hee! This was a very funny post. *Sniff* Poor donkey/horse. And poor you, too, but you seem to be taking it all in stride and with humor I see.
