Full Bloom
Jasmine strung after dark, open by morning.
In South Goa the jasmine is strung after dark. Women sit at the edge of the road with a needle and a length of cotton, threading buds that are still closed. By morning they have opened, and the garlands are sold from a basket at the roadside. Emily trained there as a yoga teacher, and bought one most mornings.
Full Bloom is that hour: jasmine, Jasminum grandiflorum, and neroli at the centre, sandalwood underneath so it holds.
Sandalwood and vanilla ground on a stone, warm on the skin.
Chandan is sandalwood paste, ground on a stone with a little water and worn on the skin. It goes on cool and it stays all day. By the hour before dinner it has warmed into something else: less wood, more skin.
Emily wore it in South Goa, and this is the perfume built from it. Sandalwood and vanilla absolute, benzoin for the amber, rose oil over the top. It lives in its last three hours.
