“I have just received my Atmosphere 1 and 2 oils in. (There is a discount deal on
buying both at once offered on the site.)
I'll try to describe what they remind me
of:
Atmosphere 1 has the scent of an old earthen cellar full of books and old cloth.
Not mildew, but as stated "a sense of antiquity or great age" was what it reminded
me of. My grandfather was a farmer in his latter years and after his passing, I assisted
my relatives in the clearing of his personal effects out of his old house. There
was a closet in his garage that was crammed full of old glass jars, books of various
types, cardboard boxes of old chemicals and old, dirt-covered garden implements.
When I first opened Atmosphere 1, I was taken to that moment some 10 years ago. Standing
in that doorway looking in at the contents of that old closet, the only light filtering
in through the wavy, hand made and very dusty window panes.
Atmosphere 2 brought
me back to my time (albeit brief) working as a mortician's assistant. The old smell
of preservative chemicals like formaldehyde, methanol, and ethanol wafted up from
this bottle, stirring old memories as well. There was an old storage closet in the
rear of said mortuary which still had old glass containers of some of these and the
smell of them was very distinct. Sort of sweet smelling and definitely clinical.
I don't think I'll ever forget those old scents.
In my opinion, Mr. Hart has done
an amazing job with these scents. If anything, it brought me back to times that I
had forgotten. This should show you all the power that scent can have in a performance.
There are others out there that can tie these scents to similar memories and thus
allow for a more personal connection to the mage's performance. Taking an act further
away from just an act and making it more real for them. “
Thank you again, sir for
the wonderful products and the trips down the dusty corridors of memory lane. “
