Dr. Seth presents a new incense from India by Shrinivas Sugandhalaya... Patchouli Forest. One of a series on incense!
Background:
MOM: "Seth is an incense connoisseur! It's an amazing thing that Seth can
think a fragrance, analyze a person's fragrance vocabulary and develop lines
of fragrance for them. This is why our incense list is a work in progress
since 1988...and Seth is still working on it. Because this topic is so
diverse, we will soon begin spotlighting video blogs about incense, so that
people can best learn how to "experience" these fragrances for themselves.
Stay tuned!"
SETH: Mom will tell you that my sense of fragrance is genetic...the fact that
I can think fragrance and flavor and that talent comes from my dad, who was
a cosmetic chemist. I don't know how much of that is true, but it just
happened. It may be nature derived, but not from nuture. I've been using
incense before I should have even been messing with fire. There's a certain
visual aesthetic about it... the smoke. It's about adding fragrance to your
environment, not yourself. it's a completely different thing because it's
not about 'you', it's about where you are. It's culturally different.
Westerners didn't appreciate incense because they associated it with drug
culture here, but in other countries it's hospitality. In eastern culture,
it is used in offices, banks, etc. as a way to welcome people. I wasn't
raised to use it as a spiritual thing. It's just something that filled the
room and I can enjoy, no matter what I'm doing.
I have insidiously realized that different scents do different things. My
initial choice of fragrance was not on conscious level. One can become
overwhelmed by choices...the more you think, the less you do, so it's best
to just make a choice and try it out for yourself.
I did become more aware as I started to recommend fragrances to people.
Everyone's experiences are different and to recommend a fragrance, one must
look objectively at it. There are some that I don't like, but they are
objectively excellent fragrances, provocative and constructed well, etc.
It's like a wine connoisseur, it's a skill I've acquired to identify
quality. I understand the nuances of a fragrance, even if I don't like it,
but you hope you can key in on some characteristics that will help determine
what others might like or don't. The only thing that holds me back from
adding to our incense list..it's not lack of energy...it's the careful
though and time to analyze and describe them. Some you can't explain. Those
need t be experienced. There are simply some fragrances that defy
description
As much as I can analyze, describe or recommend a fragrance, it is something
that people must really "experience" for themselves.
