puddingcatWanderlust: KATHMANDU
The scent of sacred incense swirling up the steep slopes to Swayambhunath Stupa. Saffron, blessed sandalwood, Himalayan cedar and the miraculous lotus of the Buddha with chiuri bark and Nepalese spices.
In the vial: saffron & cardamom kulfi.
On the wrist: Why is it that this cedar gives depth & warms up the sweetness, while Azathoth turned into cedar-scented mothballs? The sandalwood, cedar & bark smell like a wood in springtime, or a garden where bark chippings have been laid over the earth. It's still mainly a sweet scent, though, like the saffron truffles a friend handed out after their wedding. I think it'll work better in the fresh air than inside, or in the evening; it's a scent for a picnic, a long lunch at the pub, or a wander up Arthur's Seat more than for a barbecue or night out.
