Description
“This year’s Burning Man art theme was Cargo Cult. What a fascinating concept! Picture for example the Second World War: a group of uniformed men show up on your South Pacific island with all sorts of magical cargo, providing you with amenities you never dreamed possible. They stay for a few years and then leave as abruptly as
they came. As a native, you are left wondering where these people and all their cargo came from, why did they leave, and will they be coming back. Where do you get more canned food, carbonated beverages, alcohol, medicine? How do you restore life to the silent machinery? Researching cargo cults leads one to question who or what may be playing the role of savior in our own lives: family, government, technology? Who do we look to for succor? Or should we? Perhaps the power of
transformation dwells within each one of us.
Named for the messianic figure-head of the Vanuatu Cargo Cult, John Frum is my attempt to experience directly, a little bit of Vanuatu as a place and a culture.” – a note from the perfumer.

I get a more woody note than the fruit, very pleasant, but it is complex due to the addition of fruit, lime and coconut which to me is in the background. It lasts a very long time, 12+ hours and has decent sillage. A small bottle will last as it is a very concentrated juice, applying as a roll on. You don’t need much. An award winner, Amber Jobin did a terrific job and I want to sample her other offerings.

FUNKY FRUIT
Unique. Off the beaten path. Bohemian. That’s what comes to mind.
If you are not afraid to be bold, and have a strong streak of making a statement with your fragrance, then sample this.
For some, I think it will be ‘love at first sniff’. For others, like me, it’s more ‘ok, this is interesting, in a good way, I think it’s creative, original, not overly challenging to make me dislike it, I like the fruity notes, there’s a sour in there that makes me think ‘funky’….”
LIke I said with the other Burner fragrance #3, I applaud this type of creation. I just won’t be wearing it.

One of very few fragrances that quite simply smells like nothing I’ve ever smelled before. It opens with a bright, throbbing, reddish-orange tropical fruit note with sour lime. This remains throughout the wearing. Beneath that orange (color not odor) is smoldering, moldering (I mean that in a good way), vegetal wood, as though the rotting heart of a tropical hardwood tree was being burned. An incredible scent, and truly evocative of the Pacific islands, where I spent several years as a kid. Unique and wonderful!!!
