Test Run
So:
A memory of raw coconut infused with heavy white blossoms - tuberose, orchid, and awapuhi - and tonka bean, ginger crushed underfoot, damp moss and your vanilla perfume. Store it in a mahogony box, lit with spices.
Wordy enough to be pretentious, or so wordy it’s boring? Any chance we’ve hit an evocative happy medium? Appealing, y/n?

Yup, I’d buy it too. Sounds very appealing to me, and not any wordier than Neisthai (which I also adore).

Ahh, Neisthai was one of those borderline wordy/pretentious descriptions. It’s trickier with our more complex scents, more notes need mentioned in the description, and we’re trying to convey… an atmosphere almost. Hard to know when to stop.
Hooray for appealing though!
