In the world of perfumery, very few ever get to experience the real thing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vast majority of \"vanilla\" in perfumery is:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanillin (of which most used is synthetic - although natural does exist)\u003cbr\u003eEthyl Vanillin (which is synthetic)\u003cbr\u003eVarious resins, like Benzoin (which are reminiscent of Vanilla)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut very few have ever experienced the real deal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanilla comes from orchids of the genus Vanilla, primarily obtained from pods of the Mexican species, flat-leaved vanilla ( V. planifolia ). The word vanilla, derived from vainilla, the diminutive of the Spanish word vaina ( vaina itself meaning a sheath or a pod ), is translated simply as \"little pod\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the major species of vanilla orchids are now grown around the world, they originally came from Mesoamerica, including parts of modern day Mexico and Guatemala. The vanilla orchid is a vine-like plant that grows up trees. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's hard to believe a world without Vanilla, or Chocolate - Tomatoes or Potatoes. But a few humble materials from the Americas that burst on to the scene and have transformed kitchens and culinary delights for a mere 5 centuries. Despite that - it wasn't until the 1800's that Vanilla became a spice used on it's own to flavor or fragrance anything (more on that below).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Madagascar and the Reunion Islands produces approximately 75% world’s crop, vanilla also comes from Mexico, French Polynesia, Uganda, China, and Indonesia, Tahiti, among other countries, and will have different flavor profiles depending on place of origin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the world of perfumery - the vast majority of vanilla comes from Madagascar and the Bourbon\/Reunion Islands - generally referred to as Bourbon Vanilla.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last decade or so has seen Vanilla prices explode, and supply decrease. A number of reasons for this - rising cost of labor and poor weather conditions at the top. As such - it's been hard to find natural Vanillas in general for use in perfumery, and especially difficult to find any Vanillas for locations other than Madagascar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat wait is over - and I've decided to offer this as an Attar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a simple combination - Vanilla and one of our house-made exquisite Mysore Sandalwood oils.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn of my Korean regulars has another version I had made for him, and he tells me every so often, \"just vanilla sounds like it should be boring. But I find myself going back and wearing this over and over. It is very complex in its simplicity. Like your Shibui Series.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this is not part of my Shibui Series of Attars - it does adhere the concept. Beauty in Simplicity. \u003cbr\u003eAnd in order to do so, we have to use exquisite raw materials. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular Vanilla is from Kerala, India. Kerala is the former Kingdom of Malabar. If you're a Pepper nerd, you may be familiar with Malabar Peppercorns. Same region - found in the South Western corner of India, rich with ocean breezes and mountainous jungle. Excellent vanilla, too, I might add.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomething I really like about this batch is that it smells like an authentic Mexican Vanilla Tincture. Mexican Vanilla is not something we see too much here in the US. It pairs well with spicier foods - whereas the American palette goes for more gourmand flavors, and the confectionary industry here chooses Madagascar Vanilla as it pairs better with sweeter confections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut a TRUE Mexican Vanilla Tincture is actually BOTH Mexican Vanilla Beans AND Tonka Beans. Tonka Beans, btw, are the secret to the distinctive vanilla flavor in European confections ... so if you're familiar - you're in for a real treat here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is Perfection in Simplicity - Indian Vanilla from Kerala + Indian Sandalwood from Mysore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpect a fragrance similar to Creme Brulee or a Vanilla Croissant. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect to be worn as it is - or applied first for layering when you want to sweeten up a fragrance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**One Side Note - Vanilla belongs to a rare class of Bitter Medicinals that Enters the Heart, as we would say in Chinese Medicine. Vanilla helps to Clear Heat and Calm the Spirit. This is a fantastic oil to wear when you are in need of a big aromatic hug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Brief History of Vanilla :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"By and large, Americans seem to like vanilla ice cream better than chocolate.\u003cbr\u003eThere’s a little waffling here: one source claims that actually it’s Democrats who prefer vanilla, while Republicans go for chocolate; and a Baskin-Robbins poll found that there’s a substantial contingent in the Southwest that shuns both in favor of mint chocolate chip.  On the other hand, the International Ice Cream Association, which should know, puts vanilla at the top of the charts as first choice of 29 percent of ice-cream eaters, feebly followed by chocolate (8.9 percent), butter pecan (5.3 percent), and strawberry (5.3 percent).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven our passion for vanilla, it seems peculiar that “plain vanilla” is the going synonym for anything basic, bland, or blah. A plain-vanilla wardrobe lacks pizzazz; plain-vanilla technologies lack bells and whistles; plain-vanilla automobiles miss out on chrome, fins, and flashy hood ornaments; and plain-vanilla music is the sort of soulless drone that afflicts us in elevators. The truth is, though, that plain vanilla is anything but dull.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanilla is a member of the orchid family, a sprawling conglomeration of some 25,000 different species. Vanilla is a native of South and Central America and the Caribbean; and the first people to have cultivated it seem to have been the Totonacs of Mexico’s east coast. The Aztecs acquired vanilla when they conquered the Totonacs in the 15th Century; the Spanish, in turn, got it when they conquered the Aztecs. One source claims that it was introduced to western Europe by Hernán Cortés-though at the time it was eclipsed by his other American imports, which included jaguars, opossums, an armadillo, and an entire team of ballplayers equipped with bouncing rubber balls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Aztecs drank their chocolatl with a dash of vanilla, and Europeans, once they got used to the stuff (one appalled Spaniard described chocolate as “a drink for pigs”), followed suit. Vanilla was thought of as nothing more than an additive for chocolate until the early 17th Century, when Hugh Morgan-a creative apothecary in the employ of Queen Elizabeth I-invented chocolate-free, all-vanilla-flavored sweetmeats. The Queen adored them. By the next century, the French were using vanilla to flavor ice cream-a treat discovered by Thomas Jefferson in the 1780s, when he lived in Paris as American Minister to France. He was so thrilled with it that he copied down a recipe, now preserved in the Library of Congress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanilla came late to recipe books. According to food historian Waverley Root, the first known vanilla recipe appears in the 1805 edition of Hannah Glasse’s The Art of CookeryHannah Glasse’s The Art of Cookery, which suggests adding “vanelas” to chocolate; the first American recipe-for vanilla ice cream-is found in  Mary Randolph’s The Virginia Housewife (1824). By the latter half of the century, the demand for vanilla skyrocketed. Not only was it the established flavor of choice for ice cream, but it was an essential ingredient of soft drinks-among these Atlanta chemist John S. Pemberton’s Coca-Cola, which went on sale in 1886, impressively advertised as an “esteemed Brain tonic and Intellectual Beverage.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe problem with vanilla is that it’s pricey. Vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world (after saffron) because its production is so labor-intensive. Vanilla grows as a clinging vine, reaching lengths of up to 300 feet, from which sprout pale greenish-yellow flowers, about four inches in diameter. These-in Mexico, vanilla’s native habitat-are pollinated by melipona bees and, occasionally, by hummingbirds. Each flower remains open for just 24 hours, after which, if not pollinated, it wilts, dies, and drops to the ground. Frankly, given its sexual proclivities and narrow window of opportunity, the very existence of vanilla seems like an evolutionary long shot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf pollination is successful, a fruit develops in the form of a 6-to-10-inch-long pod, filled with thousands of minuscule black seeds (the appealing specks in good-quality vanilla ice cream). Transplants of vanilla to tropical and presumably vanilla-friendly regions around the globe, however-lacking the proper bees-remained determinedly podless until 1841, when Edmond Albius, a 12-year-old slave boy on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean, figured out how to hand-pollinate the vanilla blooms using a stick and a flip of the thumb. The simple technique had far-reaching implications. Vanilla plantations sprang up across the globe, from Madagascar to India, Tahiti, and Indonesia. Today about 75 percent of the world’s vanilla comes from Madagascar and Réunion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vanilla beans-which at harvest look like string beans-are individually hand-picked as they become ripe, and then are subjected to a prolonged, multi-step curing process. The end result is the dessiccated, but aromatic, black pods sold by spice purveyors. The pokiness of the vanilla plant-it takes nine months for the pods to ripen-and the grueling nature of the harvesting and post-harvest preparation means that we, internationally, don’t produce much vanilla. Total worldwide production is about 2000 metric tons, which is a drop in the bucket when it comes to vanilla demand. The vast bulk-99 percent-of vanilla-flavored products on the market, from vanilla-flavored vodka to vanilla wafers and vanilla pudding, don’t actually contain vanilla.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanilla is a stunningly complex and subtle spice, containing at a guess somewhere between 250 and 500 different flavor and fragrance components. The most prominent of these is vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) which-despite its ungainly chemical moniker-is relatively straightforward to synthesize. Vanillin can be made from petrochemicals; from lignin, a by-product of the wood pulp and paper industry; and from eugenol, a component of clove oil. It can even be produced from castoreum, a molasses-like secretion from the anal glands of beavers, though this, admittedly, is a minor source.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSynthetic vanillin is at least twenty-fold cheaper than real vanilla, which explains why it’s manufactured and sold to the tune of 20,000 metric tons per year. If you’re nibbling on something vanilla-flavored or sniffing something vanilla-scented, chances are that you’re enjoying synthetic vanillin, not natural vanilla.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis makes the recent “Campaign for Natural Vanilla” launched by the environmental organization Friends of the Earth (FOE) look downright dumb. What FOE is protesting is synbio vanillin, a product of the synthetic-biology industry. Synbio products are made by engineering artificial DNA sequences which are implanted in living cells such as algae or yeast. The cells are then grown up in large quantities in fermenters and the products that they manufacture are purified from the culture medium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYeast has been engineered in this fashion to make valencene and noolkatone, the chemicals responsible for the citrusy smells of oranges and grapefruit, used in perfumes; and Ecover, a Belgian synthetic-biology company, uses a modified single-cell algae to produce a synbio version of palm kernel oil, used in soap. (A hope here is to protect the tropical rainforests from being felled in favor of palm trees.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSynbio vanillin, claims a recent article in Mother Jones, “will compete directly with the premium-priced natural vanilla market now owned by farmers in places like Madagascar and Mexico.” Well, it won’t. It will compete with the substantial synthetic vanillin industry, the guys who are making vanillin from petrochemicals and wood pulp. And both techniques—synthetic biology and synthetic chemistry—are making exactly the same molecule: vanillin, a.k.a. 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde. There’s nothing wrong, weird, or dangerous about either synthetic vanillin or synbio vanillin. But to imply that the synbio version is somehow creepy—as opposed to the “old-fashioned” kind made out of coal tar—is just plain silly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeither vanillin, however, is real vanilla.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you want real plain vanilla, you’ll need a vanilla bean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis story is part of National Geographic’s special eight-month Future of Food series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCorrection: An earlier version of this story misstated that vanilla is the only edible orchid.

Finding a Lavender that can stand on it's own ... now that's truly special.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI lived in France in my early 20's, first in Provence, and then in Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile living in Avignon in the South, and traveling around Provence and the Côte d'Azur, I had encountered some insanely enrapturing Lavender oils. The prices, though ... OMG - you've never seen lavender prices like these. They'd all be from small family operations, and so the price was understandable, as the quantities produced were very limited and the scents were bonkers. But still .... needless to say, I only ever bought small bottles as references.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor nearly 20 years I've been searching for Lavender oils to compete in greatness with those that I had found all those years ago, without having to 'mortgage the farm', as the old saying goes. That time has come, and not only have I found 1 ... but I've found 2! I picked up these 2 batches back in 2019, and I feel it's time to start sharing them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis batch of Côte d'Azur Lavender has a sweet, almost wine'y coumarinic note that makes you just want to lean back and melt in a bath. It reminds me of the scent wafting in when I would open the windows in my apartment in Avignon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new Côte d'Azur Attar nearly perfectly captures that scent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so, I present to you a special Shibui Attar - reminiscent of the very air I'd breath and the bliss of my early 20's and those magical times spent living abroad in Southern France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT SHIBUI SERIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had originally made some Attars for some Japanese in-laws. \u003cbr\u003eThey were wanting something ...

Sicilian Vanilla dates back to the end of the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears ago I had run across a photo of an old Italian fragrance advertisement that piqued my interest. As it turns out, back at the end of the 19th century, it was en vogue to wear fragrances inspired by pipe tobacco - which led me to dig around and do some research about Sicilian pipe tobacco formulations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was inspired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had an older Italian friend who owned a coffee shop out in San Diego, where I went to medical school. He thought my work in perfumery was interesting, and was always inquiring about what I was in the process of making next. Back in 2011, I had told him about a Sicilian pipe tobacco inspired fragrance I was developing, which he was curious about. He loved it, and so, I had given him a bottle as a gift, and months later, he returned from the holidays back home to Italy with a story that I'd like to share...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs it turns out, he was of Sicilian descent (which he had failed to mention). He had returned to mainland Italy over Christmas to visit his elderly mother, then well into her 90's.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen he arrived home from the airport and gave his mother a hug, she apparently squeezed him tightly and started crying rather unexpectedly. When he asked her why she was crying, she asked him what he was wearing - his fragrance - \"my son, what on earth are wearing?!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe laughed, and told her that it was something that an American friend back home had given him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApparently, my perfume hit her olfactory memory in a very tender spot...as a young girl growing up in Sicily, the older men smoked profusely, and wore sweetly-scented pipe tobacco inspired fragrances. She hadn't smelled this scent since she was a child - and that hug from her son sent her back nearly a century to a time of innocence. It left her in tears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis story that my friend brought back to me really touched me. Apparently...I had hit my mark. It's not often that a living person can confirm in such a powerful way the accuracy with which something has been recreated nearly a century later. My friend doesn't know it - but he and his mother gave me a gift of far greater value than anything tangible someone could have given me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so I offer Sicilian Vanilla - a very accurate historical recreation of a scent not smelled in nearly a century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by an old advertisement and some historical tobacco formulary research, with notes of:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJasmine Absolute\u003cbr\u003eBlack Current Absolute\u003cbr\u003eBourbon Vanilla Absolute\u003cbr\u003eTobacco Absolute \u003cbr\u003eNatural Vanillin\u003cbr\u003eBenzoin\u003cbr\u003eMysore Sandalwood\u003cbr\u003eCambodi Oud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCraig Karoses:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I've smelled quite a few vanilla flavored tobacco fragrances.

It's extremely thick, dark, almost black in color. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aging of this blend has done magnificent melding of the flavors. It's so smooth, decadent, rich, sweet, kinda syrupy, very natural, delicious, silky, sexy, addictive and a generous performer. It puts every vanilla flavored tobacco fragrance that I've smelled, \"To Bed without Dinner.\" It's like the most gourmet, premium, vanilla flavored pipe tobacco. It has a root beer, sarsaparilla, cream soda type flavor to me. Just gorgeously delicious, absolutely comforting and satisfying. I can't stop smelling my hand. This might be the most I've ever done this. This fragrance is definitely competing. I'm in tears just thinking about it. I think this fragrance could help someone quit using tobacco.

Still, this lasts quite a long time on my skin and it just smells fantastic. I'm never satisfied with the portrayal of tobacco in fragrance, but this hits the spot. Most of the time you're just getting some sicky sweet combo of coumarin\/heliotrope\/tonka, and I can't stand those (TV, Kilian Back to Black, Xerjoff Naxos, etc.).

He gave me a list of notes and a brief overview of what he was wanting - and off to work I went. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fragrance was originally developed as an EdP. After allowing it some time to age, I sent it off. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s always a little nerve wracking making fragrances - never knowing how they will be received when you put them out there. It’s exponentially more terrifying when making custom fragrances because the person you’re making them for already has an expectation of what they’ll be receiving, and you are working to create THEIR vision. Waiting to hear their feedback has been known to keep me up at night. So I sent it off and held my breath. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral days later...I opened the most delightful message (thank heavens 😂) and a surprising backstory about what I had created. Needless to say - he loved it, and so did his coworkers! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe loved it so much, actually - he implored me make this available in the shop, and to make an Attar version. And so...here we are. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut what about that back story...?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat I was given was a list of notes and a general sense of how the fragrance should smell. What I wasn’t aware of - is I was being asked to recreate the scent of his grandmother’s old Hindu prayer cabinet. Sacred old books scented by years of aromatic prayer incense and oils, and the scent of fragrant air wafting through a Hindu temple. And surprisingly - childhood memories of the Satyamangalam Forest - home of the famed Mysore Sandalwood trees deep in Karnataka (and home to a large Tiger reserve!). Without knowing what I was aiming at...apparently I nailed it. Weird, right?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s one of the mysteries of art. Creating visions we’ve never seen.

The images of Notre Dame in flames inspired feelings of profound pain and sadness, similar, in an odd way, to the experience of standing in its presence.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Brian Phillips : April 18, 2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"For a long while, there was nothing to do but watch the flames. No one knew anything. One of the bizarre and upsetting aspects of the fire, one of its many sub-horrors, was how quickly it settled into the familiar panic-and-do-nothing holding pattern of cable news tragedy. Even while what you were looking at seemed unbelievable, like something from a dream. The juxtaposition of coverage and object jarred. One was empty; the other seemed overloaded with so much meaning you couldn’t take it in. Here is an Aflac commercial; here is beauty on fire. For much of this time, remember, we thought the cathedral was going to burn to the ground. We thought we were witnessing the end of Notre-Dame. It seemed indecent to watch and indecent to look away.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrian Phillips words above perfectly capture how I felt as I watched the news coverage. Many may not know - but I spent some time living in France - first down in Avignon, and then up in Paris not a 15 minute walk from Notre Dame. I spent a lot of time there. And although its burning was painful even for those that have never been there - I think the pain of those who lived there feel its loss in a special kind of way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe great cathedrals are monuments to the power of images. They are designed to awe and overwhelm. For the better part of 9 centuries Notre Dame awed and overwhelmed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've long been a fan of incense, dating way back to my childhood. Some of my first real profound experiences with fumigation, though, came while I was young and living in France. The scent lingered even in spaces long ago abandoned. The smoke impregnated the stone and mortar and wood in these sacred spaces. And the spaces still active with worship, still rich with new layers of incense smoke added daily...those spaces were truly magical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI used to go and sit in an old Greek Orthodox church just across the river from Notre Dame. It was small and dark and had one of the oldest trees still living in Paris out front. They burned incense in there frequently, and the scent lingered on every inch of the surface of that place even when it wasn't burning. I'd sit in there for hours - sometimes in silence, sometimes on my iPod which had only recently stormed the world. Those memories have kept me warm for a long time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have long wanted to try and capture those memories in scent. I hope its not too soon...but I feel now is the time. Watching those flames lick and devour this iconic church - I couldn't help but smell the centuries of wood and smoke that terrible fire was releasing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so I composed this oil with tears rolling down my face, trying to capture a semblance of the memories that have kept me company for the better part of 2 decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI present to you this Attar of tearful memories : Notre Dame Fumee : Notre Dame Burns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHints of Spice \u003cbr\u003eSmoking Incense Woods and Resins \u003cbr\u003eThe Tears of Angels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe article I quoted, above : \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theringer.com\/2019\/4\/18\/18412807\/notre-dame-fire-paris\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.theringer.com\/2019\/4\/18\/18412807\/notre-dame-fire-paris\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Rising Phoenix Perfumery","offers":[{"title":"0.3g · Sample Vial","offer_id":44154945175777,"sku":"","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1g · Glass Dipstick Bottle","offer_id":44154945208545,"sku":"","price":97.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3g · Full Quarter Tola (Glass Dipstick)","offer_id":44154945241313,"sku":"","price":257.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8955\/0305\/products\/il_fullxfull.1901298729_e5ld.jpg?v=1698076476"},{"product_id":"city-oud-2022-perfume-attar-100-natural-pure-parfum-extrait","title":"City Oud 2022 - Perfume Attar - 100% Natural - Pure Parfum Extrait","description":"100% Natural Perfume Attar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to make Oud classy enough for a fashionista - yet true to it's Arabic roots?

Coronation Oils have been used since at least Biblical Times. They are a long-standing tradition in the Judeo-Christian practice, as well as within other faiths and cultures. Take note, for instance, how similar the architecture is to the Arabian Ghaliyah tradition, or to the incense traditions of the Far East. There is something special, a holiness, that nearly every culture - from Europe on one end, Africa to the South, and Japan to the Far East - that has held these materials in special reverence. It just so happens that there is an upcoming coronation - and that there are some notes available from the British practice, and so I wanted to offer a commemoration for the uniquely special occasion. With that said ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Coronation of King Charles will take place on May 6th, 2023 ... and I wanted to encapsulate a little part of that ceremony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery Royal Coronation involves the anointing of the new ruler. Queen Elizabeth II took on her coronation day nearly 70 years ago, and as this is the first Royal Coronation in England in nearly 4 generations - I wanted to do something to commemorate the unique occasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1952 Coronation Anointing Oil for Queen Elizabeth II was kept rather incongruously nestled in a battered old box of Guerlain's Mitsouko! I have the available photos in the listing photos - be sure to check them out!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI consumed as many references to the Royal Anointing Oils as I could, as well as some references to materials, which include the Byzantine Chrism Oil, Umbergris, Civet, Orange Flowers, Roses, Jasmine, Cinnamon, Benzoin, and Musk. And in this specific case - rather than being compounded into Sesame or Olive Oil - I've housed my Coronation Oil in one of my glorious artisan Sandalwood Oils. And, of course - I'd be remiss if we didn't add plenty of Oud, the Oil of Royalty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd it just so happens that I have a genuine Byzantine Chrism Oil that is used for anointing within the Byzantine Church, compounded from over 70 natural materials, that I've used in this formulation. It's really special, to say the least - and I've had this oil aging in my possession for around a decade, to boot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The anointing ritual is always hidden from view - a private moment for the monarch to reflect on their duties and the significance of being touched by this holy oil - and so 70 years ago, a canopy was held over the Queen by the four Knights of the Garter, and the television cameras turned respectfully away, as the Archbishop anointed her with the fragrant holy oil on her hands, breasts, and head.\" I imagine we will see a similar action on May 6th, 2023 as King Charles officially assumes the throne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember - this is not an exact oil, as no known formula from the Royal Household is available to the public, so I've taken a few liberties along with some references and a few very educated guesses to create an incredibly luxurious Coronation Attar for the King and Queen in each of you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e————\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore Info :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/perfumesociety.org\/scented-secrets-queens-coronation-anointing-oil\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/perfumesociety.org\/scented-secrets-queens-coronation-anointing-oil\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The fascinating recent BBC documentary delving behind-the-scenes of the Queen’s Coronation on June 2, 1953, held a scented secret for sharp-eyed fragrance fans… did you spot it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile discussing the ancient rituals of the act of anointing the monarch, our eyes were drawn to the oil itself – rather incongruously kept nestled in a battered old box and bottle of Guerlain‘s Mitsouko!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMay we admit experiencing a momentary thrill that the BBC had uncovered our Queen as a secret perfumista, who’d insisted on being anointed with a fabulous Chypre? We’d definitely consider being baptised in Mitsouko, but it turned out it was just the bottle and box. Oh well. No matter, for the story of the oil’s recipe was rather deliciously revealed…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oil was made from a secret mixture in sesame and olive oil, containing ambergris, civet, orange flowers, roses, jasmine, cinnamon, musk and benzoin– actually sounding rather Ambrée in its composition – and must surely have smelled glorious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe anointing ritual is always hidden from view – a private moment for the monarch to reflect on their duties and the significance of being touched by that oil – and so a canopy was held over the Queen by four Knights of the Garter, and the televison cameras turned respectfully away, as the Archbishop anointed her with the fragrant holy oil on her hands, breast and head.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuite a scent memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, the phial containing the original oil had been destroyed in a bombing raid on the Deanery in May 1941. The firm of chemists who’d mixed the last known anointing oil had gone bust, so a new company, Savory and Moore Ltd, was asked by the Surgeon-Apothecary to mix a new supply, based on the ancient recipe, for the Coronation. We’d quite like them to whip up a batch for us, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the ritual, the highly scented oil was poured from Charles II’s Ampulla (the eagle-shaped vessel shown above) into a 12th-century spoon. One imagines the Archbishop’s hands must have shook just a little during this procedure – thank goodness for that canopy. Meanwhile, the choir sang one of the most thrillingly dramatic songs in history: “Zadok the Priest”. The words are taken from the first Book of Kings, and have been sung at every coronation since King Edgar’s in 973, but the anointment ritual is even older, going back to King Solomon supposedly being anointed by Zadok himself in the 10th century BC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course the rest of the Coronation was an extraordinary display of magnificent jewels and robes and the peculiarities of historical traditions played out ‘like a ballet’, as the programme described, but our minds kept returning to the mysteries of the anointing oil, what the Queen must have thought as she smelled it (was it the first time she’d smelled the oil?) and how it’s still, charmingly, kept in that tatty old bottle and box of Mitsouko.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow then, to whom did that bottle once belong?

Ghaliya al Molouk is, quite literally, the Precious Fragrance of The King.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGhaliyah has been the fragrance of Arabian Sultans and Sheikhs for at least 14 centuries, with the tradition likely pre-dating the Islamic tradition of making them. Since their inception, they were composed of the most precious and expensive aromatics available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt their most basic, they were fragrances compounded into Oil of Ben (what you and I know as Moringa Oil) and were made from simply Musk and Ambergris. Rose, Saffron, Spices and Oud were all commonly added, as Ghaliyah is less of a singular scent and more of a style comprising a variety of precious ingredients. As this is now my 6th Ghaliyah offered, I can attest that, although they all contain many common core ingredients - each specific oil is quite distinctive from the others. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**(this particular Ghaliyah, btw - uses no carrier oils. Rather I used a vintage Mysore Sandalwood oil)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI chance across some extremely rare aromatics and wanted to combine them in a way that was fitting, and as it's been a few years since I offered a Ghaliyah, I figured now was the perfect time to make another. But first, a little bit about the unusual aromatics found in Ghaliyah al Molouk...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2020 batch I made was more Saffron-centered. Although this batch also contains Saffron - I wanted this batch to shine a light on a really superb molecularly distilled Grasse Jasmine. It’s nuts, folks. Like wowzah 😱\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrasse is renowned for producing some of THE best and MOST EXCLUSIVE Rose and Jasmine oils. Demand is high, supply is low - making these ultra premium oils from Provence insanely expensive. I was lucky to get my hands on some - and knew the moment I smelled it that it would only have one home - center stage in my next Ghaliyah. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSaffron - although technically a flower pistal and not \"a floral\" - is by weight, one of the most expensive spices on the planet. It takes roughly 75,000 flowers to make just one pound of dried Saffron, which means roughly 165,000 flowers is needed to make one kilogram of Saffron. If you can envision the number of hands, people, time, and sweat that go into harvesting this very time-sensitive material in order to produce Saffron ... you'll understand why it has been such a highly prized material through the centuries - let alone that marvelous fragrance!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA friend sent me some absolutely marvelous Iranian Saffron that I extracted into Some Mysore over 3 years. It was so incredible smelling that I knew what it would be destined for ... a spicy, almost leathery and animalic aromatic wonder that pairs so magically with the Grasse Jasmine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have a few Amber oils that I make and use as compounding materials in some of my other Attars. I chose an Amber of mine that really helps the woody facets of Mysore to shine. It's sweet and resinous on its own, but in composition it enhances wood and spice notes without adding any cloying sweetness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDistilled Nutmeg can smell a bit spicey and is more of a Top Note - but Nutmeg CO2, used in small quantities, is not only a Base Note - but smells very similar to Deer Musk. Nutmeg was so highly prized in the past that it was traded and used as currency, and who doesn’t want to be a rich nut?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSri Lankan Spices - I’ve had quite a few custom distilled for me at this point. Sweet sweet Ginger, delightful Clove Buds, genuine Ceylon Cinnamon, to name a few. Special stuff I reserve for only the most special projects. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTahitian Vanilla - the crème de la crème of Vanillas. Beautifully floral - and near impossible to find as a perfumery material. Skyrocketing vanilla prices the past few years don’t help. But Ghaliyahs are for Kings - and Kings get the good shit. 😉\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Oud I used in the composition has done a really great job of not overtaking the overall scent. In fact - I feel like it melts in so perfectly that it enhances all the facets of the fragrance without really announcing its presence until the dry down. I chose a really woody and slightly fruity Cambodi I had on hand from 2015 that seems to \"plump\" the fruity tones of the Saffron without being overtly fruity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI also added some nice, juicy Bhutanese Oud oil. High mountain, Himalayan Exclusive stuff. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd to top it off - I tossed in a little of my insane 1949 Imphal Ateek - because who doesn’t like 73 year old Oud relics?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmbergris, Musk, and Civet need no introductions - as these have all been given as gifts to Kings throughout time. I chose a beautiful sweet and woody Irish Ambergris, a Central Plains Chinese Musk, and a Civet from small family operation that I know that treats their animals as pets (they treat them so well, in fact - that it impacts how it smells ... more like an unusual floral than it does pissy, like most Civet does). Together they help to give a luxurious pheromonal quality to the oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've sent off a few samples of this over the months to a handful of clients just to get some feedback. They all tell me that 2021 Ghaliyah al Molouk is a hauntingly beautiful, animalic slice of heaven that is a very distinctive and refined Ghaliyah, and quite possibly the best one they've ever smelled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach batch of my Ghaliyahs are standalone batches.

This spelling differentiation, however, may be purely factitious; the indigenous inscriptions make no such difference, and both Yemenite and African Sabaeans are there spelt in exactly the same way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBible stories of the Queen of Sheba and the ships of Ophir served as a basis for legends about the Israelites traveling in the Queen of Sheba's entourage when she returned to her country to bring up her child by Solomon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristian scriptures mention a \"queen of the South\" (Greek: βασίλισσα νότου, Latin: Regina austri), who \"came from the uttermost parts of the earth\", i.e. from the extremities of the then known world, to hear the wisdom of Solomon (Mt. 12:42; Lk. 11:31)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have long wanted to make an Attar inspired by the Queen of Sheba.

Due to its close resemblance to Kazanlik rose, it has been suggested that the Taif Rose was brought to Taif from Balkans by Turks, who occupied this area in the 14th century. However, the rose Kazanlik, whose Turkish name means \"suitable for the [distiller's] kettle,\" has its origins in the Persian Rose plantations around Shiraz and Kashan. The legends say that this rose actually originates from India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor arguments sake - we are acting here as if she would have had access to the opulent Rose. I’ve chose to use T’aif, Medina, and Moldovan Rose to creat a unique and incredibly sensual floral note. Rare and exquisite for the Queen!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI then paired these three rare roses with three rare, custom distilled Rising Phoenix Sandalwoods to creat a rich, sweet, intensely complex Sandalwood note - topped off with a touch of Ambergris found in Japan and “African Musk” (Ethiopian Civet) - supposedly one of the Gifts given to King Solomon by the Queen of Sheba. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow - I know the name and the notes sound a bit feminine, but Sheba is easily a unisex fragrance that wears boldly and beautifully on either Men or Women.

'Holy Wisdom'; Ancient Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία, romanized: Hagía Sophía; Latin: Sancta Sapientia; Turkish: Ayasofya), officially the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque (Turkish: Ayasofya-i Kebir Cami-i Şerifi),[3] is a mosque and major cultural and historical site in Istanbul, Turkey. The cathedral was a Greek Orthodox church from 360 AD until the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453. It served as a mosque until 1935, when it became a museum. In 2020, the site once again became a mosque.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally built by the eastern Roman emperor Justinian I as the Christian cathedral of Constantinople for the state church of the Roman Empire between 532 and 537, and designed by the Greek geometers Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles,it was formally called the Church of the Holy Wisdom (Greek: Ναὸς τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, romanized: Naòs tês Hagías toû Theoû Sophías)and was then the world's largest interior space and among the first to employ a fully pendentive dome. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have \"changed the history of architecture\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present Justinianic building was the third church of the same name to occupy the site, as the prior one had been destroyed in the Nika riots. As the episcopal see of the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople, it remained the world's largest cathedral for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in 1520. Beginning with subsequent Byzantine architecture, Hagia Sophia became the paradigmatic Orthodox church form, and its architectural style was emulated by Ottoman mosques a thousand years later. It has been described as \"holding a unique position in the Christian world\" and as an architectural and cultural icon of Byzantine and Eastern Orthodox civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe religious and spiritual centre of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly one thousand years, the church was dedicated to the Holy Wisdom. It was where the excommunication of Patriarch Michael I Cerularius was officially delivered by Humbert of Silva Candida, the envoy of Pope Leo IX in 1054, an act considered the start of the East–West Schism. In 1204, it was converted during the Fourth Crusade into a Catholic cathedral under the Latin Empire, before being returned to the Eastern Orthodox Church upon the restoration of the Byzantine Empire in 1261. The doge of Venice who led the Fourth Crusade and the 1204 Sack of Constantinople, Enrico Dandolo, was buried in the church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453, it was converted to a mosque by Mehmed the Conqueror and became the principal mosque of Istanbul until the 1616 construction of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque.Upon its conversion, the bells, altar, iconostasis, ambo, and baptistery were removed, while iconography, such as the mosaic depictions of Jesus, Mary, Christian saints and angels were removed or plastered over. Islamic architectural additions included four minarets, a minbar and a mihrab. The Byzantine architecture of the Hagia Sophia served as inspiration for many other religious buildings including the Hagia Sophia in Thessaloniki, Panagia Ekatontapiliani, the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Rüstem Pasha Mosque and the Kılıç Ali Pasha Complex. The patriarchate moved to the Church of the Holy Apostles, which became the city's cathedral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe complex remained a mosque until 1931, when it was closed to the public for four years. It was re-opened in 1935 as a museum under the secular Republic of Turkey, and the building is Turkey's most visited tourist attraction as of 2019. In July 2020, the Council of State annulled the 1934 decision to establish the museum, and the Hagia Sophia was reclassified as a mosque. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scent is WAY more complex than I'm presenting it here, but suffice it to say :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBakhoor\u003cbr\u003eOrthodox Church Incense\u003cbr\u003eRosewater\u003cbr\u003eMusk and Mortar\u003cbr\u003ePrecious Ouds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you like Bakhoor.\u003cbr\u003eIf you like the scent of Eastern Orthodox Church incense.\u003cbr\u003eIf you like Ghaliyah.\u003cbr\u003eIf you like Oud.\u003cbr\u003eIf you like the scent of ancient Holy places ...\u003cbr\u003eHagia is for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach batch of my Ghaliyahs are standalone batches.

The perfume has remained continuously available ever since, albeit reformulated countless times. Finding an old iteration is quite rare, and highly coveted. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMitsouko is preserved in its original 1919 formulation in the archives of the Osmothèque, donated to the collection by Thierry Wasser. It has been re-formulated several times in the modern era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was a favorite fragrance of Charlie Chaplin, Ingrid Bergman, Jean Harlow, Sergei Diaghilev, and Anais Nin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is no definitive information on the origin of the name. One account of the origin of the name is that it was inspired by the name of the heroine of Claude Farrère’s novel La bataille (The Battle). The novel is set in Japan during the Russo-Japanese War, and chronicles a fictional amour fou between a British Navy Officer and one “Mitsouko,” the wife of Fleet Admiral Marquis Yorisaka. Both Yorisaka and the British officer sail to war, and Mitsouko awaits with reserve to see which of the two will return alive to her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe other possibility is that it was inspired by the story of Mitsuko Aoyama, the mother of Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e__________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Very limited quantity available\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Obviously this is not 100% natural, as it uses the original juice which was not\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Mysore Sandalwood,Mitsuoku Essence","brand":"Rising Phoenix Perfumery","offers":[{"title":"V-Vial 0.3","offer_id":44154982760673,"sku":"","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"V-Vial 1.5","offer_id":44154982793441,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Boxed Quarter Tola 3","offer_id":44154982826209,"sku":"","price":625.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8955\/0305\/products\/il_fullxfull.3549259723_n8ol.jpg?v=1698077482"},{"product_id":"lavender-linens-attar-2021-shibui-series","title":"Lavender Linens Attar 2021 : Shibui Series","description":"Lavender Linens Attar 2021 : Shibui Series\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLavender is one of those rare materials that spans the extra special to the mundane.

But still .... needless to say, I only ever bought small bottles as references.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor nearly 20 years I've been searching for Lavender oils to compete in greatness with those that I had found all those years ago, without having to 'mortgage the farm', as the old saying goes. That time has come, and not only have I found 1 ... but I've found 2! I picked up these 2 batches back in 2019, and I feel it's time to start sharing them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack in France, I had access only to a small washer, and we had to hang dry cloths outside to dry.

This new Linen Attar nearly perfectly captures that scent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so, I present to you a special Shibui Attar - reminiscent of the cleanest of linens and the bliss of my early 20's and those magical times spent living abroad in Southern France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT SHIBUI SERIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had originally made some Attars for some Japanese in-laws. \u003cbr\u003eThey were wanting something ...

Hailing from the mountains near the Assam\/Nagaland border town of Dhansiri - this oil is DARK. Of special note are the hints of smoke, varnished wood floors, antique woods, maybe a touch of florals and berries - and a gorgeous Vapourous drydown. I acquired the oil awhile back directly from the distillation family, and the oil was distilled from a single tree that was around 200 years old in a traditional wood-fired setup in a copper pot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo this 46 year old Ateek Hindi, I paired it with what is probably the most unique Rose Oil I've ever smelled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1960's Rose Ateek\u003cbr\u003eThe exact origin of this oil is unknown, but I suspect it is from Eastern Europe. It does not smell Turkish, nor does it smell Saudi. It has me leaning towards Azerbaijan or Moldova ... but the thick, syrupy scent of mature age has me not quite able to place where it's from, and the gentleman I got it from said there was only an age but not a location that he could provide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterestingly, this oil has a bit of a pedigree - as I was able to acquire this by way of the grandson of the man who taught the Ajmal family how to compound fragrances. This comes from the vaults of his late grandfather. I don't have much of it, and wanted to make the best and most unique use so as many can experience it as possible. Considering it is quite Vapourous on it's own, with a deep rose jam heart and citrusy nuances. I figured, what better way to honor this legendary Rose with roughly 6 Decades of maturing than in a truly glorious and unique Oud Rose oil?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOud Oils in general connect with the Kidneys and Stomach. \u003cbr\u003eRose - connects deeply with the Heart ... hence the name of this oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite being such old oils - the Vapourous quality of them has Ateek Oud Rose feeling quite lively, and the vapourousness of them has them feeling a bit bottomless. Together, they feel greater than their individual parts. The Sum being greater than.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven the color of the oil is nearly black. It doesn't feel old and dusty. It's feels primordial, for sure - but it's still got some perk to it. If you like old, Ateek oils - something that'll caress your Soul ...

But Bushido is doing that sailing, and it's awesome. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears ago, my brother - who is an avid Bonsai practitioner - called me to ask if I could make \"Choji Oil\". No clue what it was at the time, so I set off to do some research. Turns out, \"Choji\" is Japanese for \"Clove\" - and the scent of Clove has a long history in Japanese culture. Clove oil was used to fragrance Tsubaki oil from the southern islands of Japan (the highly prized Camellia oil - the \"oil of Geisha and Samurai). This Choji Oil was used to oil the Katana, the sacred blades of the Samurai, as well as the hair of Samurai.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClove was an expensive and rare imported material, and for centuries was associated with the scent of nobility. Clove was used to scent the Tsubaki oil, which in turn was used to oil the Katana, which over time was absorbed by the scabbard that sheathed the Katana. For this reason, the scent of Choji was the Scent of the Samurai, and would alert anyone nearby that a Samurai was in their presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Japan, Agarwood (Jinkoh) was afforded by only the wealthiest class. For this reason, ruling Samurai families were the original practitioners of Kodo. Jinkoh was used in everything from Kodo, to making Nerikoh, and also used in fragrancing Kimono. Choji, as you would have it - was a common ingredient used in small quantities to enhance the scent of Agarwood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore battle, it was a common practice for a Samurai to offer a morning prayer over a Kodo session with Jinkoh. The scent of gently heated Agarwood would waft together with the scent of Choji. These two fragrances were the Scent of the Samurai - and Choji and Jinkoh were the Scent of Bushido - \"The Way of the Samurai\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few years back, an unopened bottle of Vintage 1906 Allspice Oil came into my possession. Amazingly, time has softened the bite of spiciness, and has created a lovely Coumerinic drydown that smells of Tonka. Although not Clove – this century-old Allspice had notes of Clove, and I am very fortunate to have acquired it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI knew that Hindi, Cambodi, and Malay woods were part of the Rikkoku, and were \"known Agarwoods\" during the time of the Samurai. As luck would have it, I was wearing my Ma-lindi while filling an order for my Cambodi Pursat (my Ma-lindi being a combo of a sweet as can be 2011 Malay and my phenomenal Hindi Kachari). As I opened the bottle, the combined scent of three Ouds hit me, and Bushido was born!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had been longing to recreate what I imagine a Samurai warrior would smell like on the brink of battle. When I finally found myself with the required ingredients in hand and the inspiration to move forward, this desire became a reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI composed Bushido using a select few ingredients that were the \"common core\" to all Japanese incense compositions in centuries past. Spices compliment Oud so nicely, giving it a warmth and vibrancy. Ambergris lends its exalting and fixative properties to give this oil an almost 3-D feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeedless to say...Bushido smells like a sophisticated aristocrat. \u003cbr\u003eAre you the trained killer who can wear it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.basenotes.net\/threads\/442184-The-Rising-Phoenix-Perfumery-Sample-Impressions-Thread\/page4\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.basenotes.net\/threads\/442184-The-Rising-Phoenix-Perfumery-Sample-Impressions-Thread\/page4\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"BUSHIDO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI grew up on a diet of swordfighting TV serials and stories about medieval knights in the Crusades, shadowy ninjas and heroic samurais in feudal Japan. It was not without trepidation I smeared this rather thick dark brown oil on my wrist having no prior knowledge of its content nor its inspiration. Inadvertently I took it at its name and presumed it might be a Japanese incense of sorts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was correct but only as far as the Japanese connection is concerned. The first fragrance that came to my mind was Chilum with its tobacco-laced smoky sawdusty sandalwood. There is no tobacco in Bushido but there is a herbal spicy almost medicinal aspect about it that evokes the scent of traditional Chinese tonics. Texturally it feels somewhat resinous with a deep dark green impression when you consider a color wheel. Ruggedly masculine in its presentation and self-assured in character. It doesn't smell like a fragrance per se with its linear profile, but more like a side benefit to a functional material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I finally got down to researching it, the backstory is even more fascinating:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI'd love to get my hands on more of this stuff.

Ghulam-ey with \"ey\" at the end means \"servant of.\" \u003cbr\u003eAhlulbayt is a portmanteau of three separate Arabic words Ahl (People) Al (of) Bayt (the House), Ahl Al Bayt = Ahlulbayt.\u003cbr\u003eGhulam-e Ahlulbayt means \"servant of the People of the House.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow who the People of the House are may be too deep a rabbit hole than in which you perhaps would wanna delve into right now, though I highly suggest you do if you're curious about gaining significant knowledge. And I'm happy to tell you more about them if you're interested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuffice it to say that this sentence only has the utmost positive connotations and meaning for those who understand it, and for those who don't, it would also have a positive meaning if they were to understand it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt holds an inexplicable value to me, and I would much prefer it to be used for the scent's name instead of my name, and it would mean a lot to me if you did.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy Reply :\u003cbr\u003e\"Take me down the rabbit hole\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCustomer :\u003cbr\u003e\"I've been thinking since you asked me on how best to take you down the rabbit hole, at what speed, to what extent, and with what purpose. Because it is my belief that this hole isn't a hole, it's an infinitely wide and infinitely deep well that contain all of the knowledge, wisdom, and secrets of all things, everywhere, in all of the universe. And it is up to us individually whether we are guided to this well, how long we choose to stay, whether we decide to drink, and if so how much we drink.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd perhaps this is an entirely too long and too deep of an answer, far beyond what you perhaps would want or expect to be behind the title of a scent. But you did ask, and I feel obliged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've come to the conclusion that perhaps the best thing to do right now is to give you a very brief summary of my personal beliefs in hopes that it both answers your question about the name I chose, and sparks your own curiosity to learn more if you find yourself desiring to know more. Each of the sentences below could have entire libraries overflowing with books dedicated to describing the intricate depths of them, and still not be sufficient.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI thought that I can go into such detail with you because I believe you may be very open-minded and curious to all forms of knowledge, as one should be. Since you have used the name Ghilaf e Kaaba for a scent and were willing to use my name as one as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI'm a Shia Muslim and the following is what I believe whole heatedly.\u003cbr\u003eI believe in One God Who created this and all universes and all things within those universes, including us. And I believe this not through the blind lens of simple faith, but instead through the wide open and illuminated spectacles of deep understand of all sciences including biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, physics, astrophysics, maths, quantum physics, psychology, sociology, etc. And through utmost utilization of my logical and rational capabilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI believe the purpose of our creation is to come to realize the existence of One God and understanding Him through understanding His creations (universe and all within it) and His revelations and messaged sent directly to us to make us aware of Him and be guided to Him, but all in a very specific and unique manner that is of His choosing, not ours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI believe He first created a Noor (an essence of pure and indescribable light which He separated from His own essence) that was Prophet Muhammad SAWW. He then divided that Noor into four additional Noors, his daughter Fatimah ASWS, brother in law and Imam Ali ASWS, and his grandsons Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain. These Five are known in Shia Islam as The Pure Five, and also The People of The House, The Ahlulbayt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOut of love for these Five, God created all things and us so that we may come to recognize and understand Him and His essence through these Five.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe then sent man, Adam down to earth as His deputy and representative knowing what would occur and become of humanity. He then consecutively sent down 124,000 prophets around the world, throughout all of time and history, to all civilizations, to educate and guide them, and evolve and prepare them by increasing their intellectual capacity. And those who were unjust and exceeded all bounds, He utterly destroyed, such that we today walk in the remains of what they had created although they no longer exist themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of these prophets hold a really high stature and status in Islam and they include Noah, Moses, Abraham, and Jesus. Last and greatest of all of these 124,000 prophets, the seal of the prophethood, is Prophet Muhammad SAWW.\u003cbr\u003eWho transformed the most vile, uneducated, atrocious, despicable, utterly animalistic beings, who used to bury their new born daughters alive, keep and brutalize slaves, worships while naked and drunk, and not honor any agreements, torture and oppress the poor, etc. into human beings who sparked the modern intellect and social etiquette of mankind by inventing maths, sciences, and social principles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, God didn't send 124,000 prophets to mankind and give them original Torah, Psalms, original Bible, and then finally Quran and Islam, to then just abandon them without any further firm and undeniable guidance. He Himself chose and appointed 12 Imams who are absolutely pure, utterly righteous, and totally infallible to govern and guide mankind after prophet Muhammad's SAWW death. And 11 of them are grandsons of the prophet himself, from his household, and his lineage. They start first and foremost with Imam Ali, the cousin and son in law of the prophet, who was on numerous occasions verbally, physically, and Quranically appointed as an Imam after the prophet. However, some \"men\" under the guise of \"Muslims\" and \"companions of prophet\", completely ignored the prophet's specific commands, which were God's commands, and chose themselves as leaders of the Muslims and forced pretty much all to pay allegiance to them the day of the prophet's death. So due to these animals, right after the death of the prophet, the Muslims split into two groups, the \"Shia\" who believe that the sole authority to govern and guide mankind can and is only chosen by God Himself and not by men who are themselves inept, naive, sinners. Therefore only the prophet's own family and his grandsons can guide mankind, starting with Imam Ali. The second being the \"Sunni\" who believe that humans can indeed choose their own leaders and believe in the \"caliphs\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow coming back to the title itself, The People of The House is how God refers to prophet Muhammad SAWW, his family, his progeny, the Pure Five. And I am a servant of these Pure beings. Hence Ghulamey Ahlulbayt. It is far more meaningful and honorific to me than my own name.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**This is a transcription of my client's story. It is HIS story. HIS journey.

It comes from the dried bright orange-red stigmas of the flower Crocus sativus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut before you go digging up your spring crocus, know that this variety is special because it’s a triploid: it can’t grow in the wild or reproduce without human intervention. The gorgeous purple flower is painstakingly propagated and harvested by hand, and only on the morning it blooms. The more careful the cultivation, the higher the price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIran produces 85 percent of the world’s saffron, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, thanks to its relatively dry, sunny climate and the agricultural knowledge passed down through generations of farmers. It likely was first discovered in Bronze Age Greece, yet it now grows throughout Europe and Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSaffron is as old as time. Cleopatra was said to bathe in saffron-infused mare’s milk before seeing a suitor. “Saffron was used to dye the woolen bolero jackets worn by Minoan women; also in cosmetics, where it was mixed with red ochre, tallow, and beeswax to make lipstick,” says John O’Connell in The Book of Spice: From Anise to Zedoary. Medieval monks found that mixing a primitive glue of egg whites and saffron created a yellow glaze that could stand in for gold in the production of their manuscripts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd I dare you to make a Spanish paella or a Persian pilau without the metallic zing and day glow yellow punch of saffron. Same for dozens of styles of fish stew, yeasted rolls, cakes, and pies found around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSaffron still evokes affluence and elegance in any dish.
