Scent Name: Lunar Landscape
Manufacturer: The Star & The Butterfly – Ghosts: The Hitchhiker
Scent Description and Notes: “The Hitchhiker is a ghost story and a radio play written by Lucille Fletcher. It was first presented on the November 17, 1941, broadcast on The Orson Welles Show on CBS Radio. In the story, a man, Ronald Adams, on a cross country drive repeatedly notices the same hitchhiker standing along the side of the road. Though the hitchhiker’s appearance is non-threatening, Adams becomes increasingly disturbed upon inexplicably seeing him again and again alongside multiple roads across several states. Eventually, Adams becomes too afraid to stop his car and even attempts to run the man down in hysterical paranoia. After making a phone call home, however, Adams learns something that changes the remainder of the road trip and changes him forever.
“He was waiting for me outside the Navajo reservation where I stopped to check my tires. I saw him in Albuquerque where I bought ten gallons of gas. I was afraid now, afraid to stop. I began to drive faster and faster. I was in the lunar landscape now, the great, arid mesa country of New Mexico. I drove through it with the indifference of a fly crawling over the face of the moon.”

Scent:
- ITI: Ooh, this is just lovely in a ghostly cold southwestern way. I envision ghostly saloon towns viewed through isinglass with gentle whispers of ashed fennel and a vetiver-speckled pine sandalwood.
- Wet: Finely milled cedarwood with a light sprinkling of cardamom is touched with a distantly scorched vetiver pine, and a nod of gentlemanly fennel and sandalwood trailing a dried lavender bud subtly behind.
- Dry: Ooh, fun! After 13 hours, there’s a slightly lumberjack-y cedar wood and pine with very subtle flecks of sandalwood and perhaps just a suggestion of cardamom. As a woody lover, I’m quite pleased.
Other Impressions: [Wet] It’s going to sound weird, but I mean this in a good way: Herby chloraseptic. But like, the medicine-y smell is faint – it’s not very much. It’s actually pleasant. It’s like the right amount of it.” -Tony
