There is some sort of \"lack\" that I can't quite put my finger on. Layering Creed's Cuir de Russie with Czech & Speake's Frankincense & Myrrh is a combination that triggers in me an imagining of how wonderful an incense and leather scent would be. To wit, I love the dry (very dry) and almost woody nature of the Frankincense & Myrrh, and I like the ocean-like leather of Cuir de Russie.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"12\" id=\"image9\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatwedoissecret.org\/madebyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/clear.gif?resize=1%2C12\"><br \/>\nYet I wish for a scent that is fuller, curvier, and more strong-willed. Like, you know how when you hear a song on AM radio, and it's good, but you know you'd enjoy it so much more if you could hear the song in full-on surround sound stereo? I want to smell a perfume with an expanded bandwidth like that. I do not wish for it to be sweet or sentimental smelling - I wish for something that has strength and reserved power. I am unsure what else it would need to achieve that end. Perhaps in addition to the dark edginess of dry frankincense tears, myrrh tears, and saline softened leather, there could be ... Woody notes? Benzoin? Spice? I really don't know. And this is something I hope you, as a perfumer who is far, far wiser than I am, can understand and know how to approach.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"12\" id=\"image9\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatwedoissecret.org\/madebyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/clear.gif?resize=1%2C12\"><br \/>\nThe concept I keep coming back to for the name is via the word \"auxetic.\" Auxetic materials, unlike most common materials that become thinner when stretched laterally, actually <em>expand<\/em> in cross-section when stretched. The effect is demonstrated very coolly here in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bolton.ac.uk\/auxnet\/auxfoam.mov\">this short video<\/a> from Auxnet. The Greek root of \"auxetic\" is \"Auxeos,\" meaning \"that which can expand.\" My thinking is this - I like the idea that when we stretch ourselves, we too expand and grow. And I like the idea that with perfume, it has one type of smell, but it's upon application and wear that the smell grows and becomes bigger than when it remains unworn in the bottle or on a paper strip. Plus, I just like the sound of \"Auxeos\" when I roll it around in my mouth.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"12\" id=\"image9\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatwedoissecret.org\/madebyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/clear.gif?resize=1%2C12\"><br \/>\nThank you so much for agreeing to make this perfume dream come true for me!
