year 1999: the y2k bug looms in every computational system in the world. as midnight strikes, entropy cascades every hour as time zones catch up to the disastrous inability to process the new millennium. computers overheat in confusion, fax machines whirr with incorrect calendar dates, and hot wires melt their protective encasing in technological protest.
notes: hot fax machine, mouse pad, mac carcass, tattered wire
ingredients: alcohol (SDA), parfum
year 2021: you’re quarantining at your apartment in a high rise for the foreseeable future. the only verdancy you’re interacting with is on a screen or in the form of a bland lettuce mix that gets delivered to you every tuesday. you miss the darkness of plants, their complex dampness and astringency. bitbit fulfills that for you with the power of bitter plants.
notes: chard, soil, mugwort, wormwood, valerian, bitter greens
ingredients: alcohol (SDA), parfum, geraniol, thymol, eugenol, linalool, limonene, citronellol
year 2030: wheat and rye monocultures are threatened globally by an unknown infection event. speculators inflate the price of all remaining glutinous products and shoppers amass them in bulk, not knowing what comes next. food scientists create a scent to appease the taste for bread that threatens to remain unfulfilled in this ecocide: cereale.
notes: rye toast, yeasting dough, butter
ingredients: alcohol (SDA), parfum, carvone, limonene * this formulation contains dairy
year 2077: humans have begun incorporating mycelium into their routines, structures, and medicinal systems in exponential ways. the increasingly abundant quantity of fungi in human bodies begins to create a communal bodily emanation uncannily similar to mushrooms. in the warm crevice of an armpit, you find a fruiting body.
notes: mushroom gills, skin
ingredients: alcohol (SDA), parfum
year 3030: human extinction has allowed flora to propagate wildly, bursting through concrete and rigid architectural structures. the skin of the earth has restored itself to a microbially-dense state. damp gives you a taste of this future; it’s a gentle whisper of a musty room in the middle of a forest. the breath of the earth in soli-molecule form.
notes: dampness, wet soil, earth
ingredients: alcohol (SDA), parfum
