Kyphi Progression

Today the kyphi accepted oils of vintage santal, spikenard, Himalayan cedar, and galbanum. Also added a few grams of saffron powder. The scent is beyond intense. I am really enjoying where the kyphi is headed. Soon to ferment and dry and then it will be ready to burn.

    Fascinated by this process of making kyphi and trying hard to imagine what it smells like as you go along.

    1. It is an amazing and enlightening experience, definitely. To imagine that this is how perfume was made and that the process was ritualized seems, I don't know, primal somehow. As if the ancients tried to harness the wildness of the aromatics by tying them down with process and secrecy and ritual; to own them, to tame the chaos of nature. It really is amazing stuff :)
