brigdhKhajuraho
Website Description: A 'Lupercalia' scent. The fabled Khajuraho temples of India are shrines of love in all its myriad forms. They are a celebration of love itself – transcendental, spiritual and erotic. This is a rejection of sorrow, spiritual ennui and despair. The sexual motifs that adorn the temples, and the temples themselves, are monuments to ecstasy and to passion, and through that, they are also monuments to spiritual fulfillment. It is believed that the realization of moksha by dedicating oneself to adhyatma and dharma can be attained only by first experiencing sexual satisfaction. In the midst of the drudgery and struggle that we sometimes endure during the course of our Earthly lives, it is vitally important that we remember the joy found in kama, and that in kama we can achieve transformation of the body and soul. This is a blissful, euphoric blend based on an ancient Indian love potion: honey, date palm, tuberose, davana blossom, amber, white sandalwood, vanilla bean, Damask rose, and champaca flower.
In Vial: Intense florals, but not nice florals. That really bitter, strong floral you smell in cheap old-lady perfume. Vinegar-y, almost.
Wet: The vinegar mellows out into warm sandalwood. After a few moments, the honey comes in. Very pretty.
Dry: A nice floral, but there's still that weird vinegar undertone. It's really not strong at
all, but it keeps this one from being a favorite.
