Well, there is actually. Although I am not 100% sure what its official name is. Is it just “Purple Stuff” or is the made up word “Superliminal” a part of the official name as well? At any rate, the can has printed on it “CALM DOWN”, “RELAX THE BODY” and “FOCUS THE MIND”. Although it isn’t very relaxing to be shouted at in all caps by an inanimate object. Perhaps the artists that designed the can were all fans of energy drinks of various kinds.

Cherries, peaches, apples, honeysuckle and other scents make this a positively wonderful smelling incense straight out of the package. Among my first mental reactions were, “candy” “fruit” and “food”. I am not usually a fan of sweet incense scents and I am dubious of any and all incense marketed as “cherry” or “banana” or whatever.

She was not there and had not been there for a very long time. Instead she was somplace else. She was inside of me, still living and laughing. Still cocking her eyebrow and chattering in a tumble of falsetto words. She was everywhere that I had been and everywhere that I was going. Even now she is on the Internet in an essay written at the crack of dawn while my new kitten mewls at my feet. No, she is not there. She is everywhere. I think that I am okay with that.

Satya Patchouli Forest is from the Oriental Series by Shrinivas Sughandalay. I have to say that of the series that includes Celestial, Midnight, Sandalwood and Sunrise, this scent is the clear winner and my personal favorite. All of the Oriental Series are built on a base of sandalwood and vanilla and in this case the base components blend wonderfully well with the patchouli and other ingredients.

Overall it is an excellent representation of amber. Sensual, warm, sweet and well, delicious actually. The warmth and sweetness works as a tremendous mood elevator and in my case, creates a desire for rich, sweet foods. Of course scent is highly subjective and you may not experience the same craving, but you will find this scent lives up to the adjectives usually used to describe it. Lightly musky, sensual, warm, exotic and very faintly sweet.

This Nandita fragrance oil lives up to the marketing speak typed on the included instructions for use sheet. Although based on Lavandula officinalis there are several other notes and tones that become apparent after careful consideration. I noticed just a faint whisper of Gardenia somewhere near the bottom note and it works out great.
