“honey squared, royal jelly cubed, nectar raised to the nth power the intensified secretions of the Earth’s apiarian gland, reeking of ancient bridal chambers and intimacies half as old as time.” Yellow Chartreuse is sweeter than green, has a lower ABV, Chamomile and honey are the dominant flavors”) which is then consciously infused with Jasmine (unfortunately not “Jamaican jasmine supplied by a mysterious man with the helmet of swarming bees, Bingo Pajama.”), bee pollen and raw honey instead of beet pollen because of availability, their earthy funk, and this quote: Today, this “Elixir of Long Life” is still made only by the Chartreuse monks following that ancient recipe, and is called Elixir Vegetal de la Grande-Chartreuse. The perfume they finally create to cover Pan’s offensively robust pheromones contains 1 part beet pollen, 20 parts jasmine oil, and 20 parts citron essence.” My ode to this odor uses a base of Yellow Chartreuse (“the original recipe was named the “Elixir of Long Life.” This manuscript was probably the work of a 16th century alchemist with a great knowledge of herbs and with the skill to blend, infuse, macerate the 130 of them to form a perfect balanced tonic. In a nutshell, Robbins’ theme is that life is extended by laughter and a light heart, and that perfume is a bridge to the infinite.” Alobar is followed on travels by Pan, the invisible, goaty-smelling and ever more enfeebled Greek deity. “The story takes place in present-day Seattle, New Orleans and Paris, but also follows the adventures of Alobar, a fourth- or fifth-century Bohemian tribal king, as he defies death and aging and wanders the globe in search of the secret of eternal life which involves creating the perfect perfume. Avery Gilberg, a Sensory psychologist specializing in olfaction, summarizes the novel well and in context of this cocktail in his blog First Smell: TAKING A SCIENTIFIC SNIFF AT THE CULTURE OF SMELL:
Perfume and distillation are connected as well. Smell is key to taste and strongly connected to memory. What is sexier than a beet or more immortal than a photo. A good vibe for a fun tastefully naked charity photo shoot. Jitterbug Perfume is a playful, wild and sexy book about memory, perfumes, Pan, searching for immortality, what is really important in life and beets. The clever, fun and free-spirited writing of Tom Robbins “rejects convention” as does Revival Spirits. Info: This cocktail is inspired by Tom Robbins’ 1984 novel Jitterbug Perfume.
