A desert seems to be the quietest place on this planet. The place where silence is disturbed only by the thoughts in your mind that in such serenity become clearer and loose their chaotic flow.
In this meditative silence, you feel the unity with everything around you, while answers to the most important questions become more evident.
But what if you could reach this state of mind at any moment without even going to the desert?
Today I review Larmes du Desert Atelier des Ors, an exquisite and deeply meditative perfume that brings you to the distant and therefore so tantalizing desert.
The desert of your soul.
And if you are ready to explore your nature and to feel this sweet connection with the universe, then let’s started our scented trip to the depths of the soul.
Just close your eyes, and calm your thoughts, relax the body and mind.
And let your perfume conductor do everything for you…
Larmes du Desert opens with an enveloping trio of incense, Elemi, and cypress that immediately brings us to the first stage of our meditation.
The scent of incense, which since ancient times was used to experience the awe and mystery and get beyond the boundaries of mind, gives this perfume its dense and profound aroma.
In turn, cypress brings its rich woody scent with some smoky and spicy nuances, while the note of Elemi adds the delightful lemon accents.
Imagine that your mind is filled with a pale and warm cloud of the aromatic smoke that envelops every thought in your head and makes it disappear faster.
When the smoke finally clears, you will be surprised by the clarity of your mind and will be ready to go further to the depths of your soul and the heart of Larmes du Desert.
Here, an expressive woody-earthy accord featuring guaiac wood, patchouli, and cedarwood gives you the power to face your hidden fears and desires and accompanies you to the next stage.
Because isn’t it the primary goal of this trip to explore the limits of our nature?
Or rather, our unlimited nature?
The closer we are to this moment, the softer and warmer becomes Larmes du Desert, and the delightful sweetness of the unity with the universal flow appears.
And what else, if not a mystical mixture of myrrh and benzoin could provide us with this ethereal sweetness that finally unlocks the door to the soul?
These deep and tantalizing notes give Larmes du Desert their heady oriental sound, and the opulent balsamic character accented with some light citrus tones.
But what is waiting for you behind the cherished door?
The answer is simple: the desert of your soul.
A place in which, despite the silence and imaginary emptiness, you feel at home and safe, and where you understand that all your questions are replaced with awareness.
It seems that you are alone here.
But can you really feel lonely when you are part of the universe, part of a whole?
Can you really feel lonely when you are filled with love, when you are love itself?
You are here and there at the same time. You are everywhere, and you are everything.
As well as the scent of the perfume fades away, leaving us with a sweet balsamic aftertaste, we have to come back from our fascinating trip to the desert.
The desert that in fact is the most beautiful oasis in the world where everything is possible.
We all know the feeling of sadness when something good comes to an end, but I can assure you that the best part is yet to come.
And by the way, you can go on a new adventure at any moment, to explore the other frontiers of your endless soul.
You only need to reach out to your perfume conductor Larmes du Desert.
And even if the name of this perfume is translated as “Tears of the Desert”, I promise you that it will be the tears of joy and revelation.
The enchanting woody-balsamic tears of the desert hidden deep in the soul, where no one allowed to enter, except you.
Notes: Incense, Elemi, Cypress, Patchouli, Cedarwood, Guaiac Wood, Citruses, Myrrh, Benzoin.
If it were a place, it would be a quiet desert.
If it were a color, it would be soft brown with grey.
If it were one word, it would be the stillness.
P.S. I think, with the modern pace of life we all have to go to the desert time after time, to find the harmony inside and around us. And it doesn’t matter if this desert is real or imaginary. It can even be a perfume that you wear only for yourself and that you can enjoy in total silence.
“The desert takes our dreams away from us, and they don’t always return. We know that, and we are used to it. Those who don’t return become a part of the clouds, a part of the animals that hide in the ravines and of the water that comes from the earth. They become part of everything… They become the Soul of the World.”
Paolo Coelho, The Alchemist
