A Mistpouffer is an unexplained natural sound: a sonic boom, akin to distant cannon fire, that seems to emerge from the fog over large lakes or rivers. Recorded across the globe throughout history, it has spawned countless legends. In Japan, the phenomenon is known asuminari—"cries from the sea." In Connecticut, Machimoodus State Park derives its name from the Native American term for the area, meaning "place of bad noises."
Despite scientific efforts to unravel the mystery of these sounds—still audible to this day—their source remains unidentified. Proposed explanations range from solar winds resonating in the atmosphere and underground seismic activity to the release of gas bubbles from the deep. Others attribute the booms to extraterrestrial or subsurface civilizations. Early North American settlers were told by the Haudenosaunee Iroquois that the sounds were the Great Spirit continuing His work of shaping the earth.
Translating this mystical "water thunder" into a fragrance proved as elusive as the sound itself. It took four years and hundreds of iterations to strike the perfect balance: distinctive yet inexplicable, foggy without feeling aquatic, smoky but never heavy, natural and supernatural in equal measure.
