Ramblings on about natural perfumery . . . and other moderately related perfumery stuff, written by Justine Crane, natural botanical perfumer, olfactogustatorian, writer, alchemist, and owner of The Scented Djinn Parfum Apothecary & Thurifercorum
Fascinated by this process of making kyphi and trying hard to imagine what it smells like as you go along.

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 :)
