The Summer Heat is around the corner. In India, folks set aside their rich, heavy Ouds and Ambers in favor of a more Cooling delight - Khus, a wild Indian Vetiver.
Desserts, drinks, and ice creams are made with it - glowing an almost neon green from the delightful roots of Khus.
Although I have the pure 2004 Khus oil I used to make this Attar in the shop - it can be quite potent and overpowering. I wanted to offer a Khus Attar that offered the same benefits, plus the finesse of Shibui simplicity. Combined with the Sandalwood and the distilled Japanese Yuzu as it is, here - I find Khus Attar to be more like those refreshing Khus beverages with a splash of Citrus.
I've been wearing this down here in Atlanta, as the Heat and Humidity gets here a bit earlier in the year than elsewhere in the US. It's very refreshing, like a cool breeze on a hot Southern day.
If you're plagued by the Heat and Damp in the warmer months - Khus Attar will be an easy oil to reach for.
ABOUT SHIBUI SERIES
I had originally made some Attars for some Japanese in-laws.
They were wanting something ... Shibui.
Shibui (渋い) (adjective), shibumi (渋み) (noun), or shibusa (渋さ) (noun) are Japanese words which refer to a particular aesthetic of simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty. Like other Japanese aesthetics terms, such as iki and wabi-sabi, shibui can apply to a wide variety of subjects, not just art or fashion.
When they first smelled them, they said simply, “these are stunningly beautiful”.
Friends and family of theirs eventually started asking for them - and I figured it was high time to start offering these here in my shop. Seems folks love them.
These are simple solo-fleur compositions, as opposed to my more complex Attars that I’ve become quite well-known for. These are less expensive and more straight forward single-flower Attar scents.
Simple. Subtle. Unobtrusive beauty.
With that said...they are stunningly beautiful!
