Great-eared Nightjar

Lying still, unseen, beneath the moonlit sky,
Not proud, not grand, just quietly passing by,
Its brown feathers blend with the brush nearby,
Till moonlight forgets that it’s even nigh.

Ear-tufts rise like dragon wings in flight,
Shadows shift, a dance in the quiet night,
Though silent, humble, out of sight,
In simple ways, it holds a secret bright.

Great-eared Nightjar is a chronicle of a journey into the nocturnal forest, discovering the marvelous beauty hidden in the ordinary. The first impression is a bright flash of excitement upon an unexpected encounter with this bird, captured through the fresh notes of tangerine and bergamot beside the warm notes of black tea and nut, which represent the beautiful, dark brown plumage it uses for camouflage.

The fresh green notes of blackcurrant leaf, mahogany, and the rich aroma of hay evoke the vast forest where the Great-eared Nightjar can hide, seamlessly adapting its life to blend into any environment. Meanwhile, the scent of rhododendron further reflects this remarkable adaptability, paired with the mysterious fragrance of jasmine that blooms in the dark, marking the hours of the bird's nocturnal life.

Finally, the story leaves a profound and memorable trail. Earthy notes and the scent of smoked wood evoke a connection to the mystery and spirituality that people often associate with creatures of the night, before settling into the profound, lingering warmth of amber and musk. It is the final statement that even in a simple existence, there lies a remarkable specialty—a beauty that leaves a lasting impression on the hearts of those who truly experience it.
