The world's smallest tectonic plate, and it's doomed, so doomed...just off the coast of Washington and Oregon in the US, the last remnant of what was once the mighty and puissant Farallon Plate is being subsumed into the Earth's mantle as we speak. Right this very instant. One day it will disappear completely, leaving the North America Plate to forge head-on against the ever-expanding Pacific. Dread and woe!
Assuming that the North America and Pacific plates keep moving at rate they are now, though, that day is actually about seven million years or so in the future. So this scent is actually pretty robust and not very sad at all. In six and a half million years, we may need to change the recipe.
Ocean mint, patchouli, subducted basalt, and fossil woods.
