Earlier than heading out to Esxence this 12 months I gathered my senses, dove deep into google for contacts, crossed my fingers, and despatched everybody I may discover an invite to fill out a brief survey. I titled it, merely, “the nosey questionnaire” and went all out with questions like: “what’s the subsequent fashionable materials to fall out of vogue?”, “who’s your good purchaser”?, and “what’s your favourite swear?” (sorry, needed to). Andreas Wilhelm (Wilhelm Fragrance, Sarah Baker, L’Adone, and fragrance.sucks, FIFI Award winner and all-around superior hunter-gatherer) was one of many first to reply it—and his witty, practical, and refreshingly playful phrases made much more sense as soon as I noticed him in particular person. (#truth: private interplay at all times provides to the image, and don’t let anybody let you know in any other case).  Andreas’ newest challenge, fragrance.sucks, is constructed on a transparency mannequin that’s each wanted and barely intimidating: each components has been rejected by different manufacturers, and is displayed, uncooked, straight on the bottle. No context, no rationalization, no scintillating advertising (apart from his iris gourmandises, after all).

So how, then, on this period of complicated tales and insinuating visuals, does one go about describing these “alcoholic options. Sprayable”?

That is how.
