Brought out Jaiselmer today.
It just smells so serious. There’s a super dry, almost boozy, green cardamom right up top, just to remind you that this is the incense one from India. It’s a little spicy thanks to pepper and cinnamon, and a dry cedar throughout. The cedar is… the good stuff. it reminds me of going to a sweat lodge where you’re supposed to sit in dry heat and sip cool water. The last time I went to one, I didn’t really sweat and then left when I couldn’t take the heat anymore. Jaiselmer really evokes that dry cedar wood smell.
I can see why this would be a good scent for spring, especially if you’re experiencing wet weather, because it would contrast beautifully with a damp rainy day. The dry cardamom, cinnamon, and woods just make it great for centring yourself and being introspective.
