Of Sand and Rain

[Of Sand and Rain - 8209327]
Large tapestries stretch from wall to wall on each side of the tent. One displays sweeping dunes in a variety of golden shades against a horizon of aquamarine. Colorful caravans file one after the other, bright beneath the saffron sun above. The other tapestry depicts a sweeping landscape that transforms from lush, verdant rainforests at one end to ashen wastelands on the other. In the space between the tapestries, a circular mirror-topped table sits in the center on a circular rug, and on the table is a small electrum-framed case. You also see a simple parchment sign.

Analyze:
This bottle is for perfume or cologne.  Current verbs are: DRINK, MEASURE, POUR, and SMELL.

When applied, this bottle will produce the following scent.
 First-person: You have layered over your skin the soft whisper of creosote, like the scarcity of rain on the desert sands, underscored by a spice nearly bitter in the bite of blackened ginger.  A heart of scarlet bee blossom gentles the scent into something elusive but sweet, while a thin chord of tobacco smoke drags the upper notes away into a smoky sillage.

A narrow, embossed silver band rings the neck of the vial and reads, "Strange Land."
Analyze:
This vial is for perfume or cologne.  Current verbs are: DRINK, MEASURE, POUR, and SMELL.

When applied, this vial will produce the following scent.
 First-person: You have immutably about you a redolence that clings to your skin and clothes, seeming as natural to your person as a scent is to the flower that offers it.  Sweet olive and feathery cassia intertwine as the top notes, an aroma more precious than that of a lily melding with hints of honey, and hover over a heart of golden sandalwood.  Exotic spices round out the finish, taming the cloying upper currents with a melange too well blended to pinpoint any one element.

A narrow, embossed gold band rings the neck of the bottle and reads, "Heart of the Rainforest."
Analyze:
This bottle is for perfume or cologne.  Current verbs are: DRINK, MEASURE, POUR, and SMELL.

When applied, this bottle will produce the following scent.
 First-person: You have a vaguely aqueous fragrance about you, florals captured by the humidity of a dense rainforest, with the fruity-sweet ylang ylang accompanied by the gentler scent of mandevilla.  A subtle infusion of the cinnamony moth orchid bestows a touch of spice without being overpowering, and the head notes all tame the final emanation of kapok tree blossoms, leaving a mostly pleasant sillage with just the hint of a sharpened edge.

This vial is for perfume or cologne.  Current verbs are: DRINK, MEASURE, POUR, and SMELL.

When applied, this vial will produce the following scent.
 First-person: You have  enshrouding you an enigmatic fragrance that slips from one valence to the next like sand through splayed fingers.  The past and present clash, evolving from top notes of the saffron-spiced falling star blossoms and the distinctive aroma of the elusive black lotus.  Fingers of ozone reach like gnarled lightning to drag the florals into a heart dark with the chaos of a volcano, scorched earth and sulfur stealing the sweetness and leaving little in its wake but still and breathless ash.
