âYesterday Haze,â the subtly sinister follow-up to Lenora Blumbergâs acclaimed debut âViolet Disguise,â tells the story of a farmerâs wife who, after maintaining a decades-long affair with a crop duster pilot, decides to come clean to her husband (who also happens to be her loverâs employer). âThe memory of him is a rifle in my mouth,â Blumberg wrote, âand the scent of fig its trigger.â Set in Californiaâs tranquil and dusty San Joaquin Valley, the elaborate tale unfolds like a dream, delicately shifting perceptions like the colors of a dimming dusk.
WHEN TO WEAR:Â The seductive, dreamlike quality of this scent works like a magnet. Use it liberally during the day and, as it lingers into night, watch as those around you are lured into your sphere.
