Winter in Manaslu

Fragrance description

Beneath the shimmering peaks of Manaslu, a unique symphony began to play with the first touch of winter's frost. It was a melody only perceivable to those with a true connection to nature and the land. It whispered tales of ancient times, of resilience and a silent strength that thrived even in the harshest conditions.

The first note was a refreshing caress, reminiscent of peppermint, so pure and invigorating that it seemed as if the mountain itself exhaled it after a long slumber. The basil followed, green and slightly sweet, mingling with the subtle yet mysterious star anise, which hinted at ancient rituals and secrets hidden deep within the snow-covered caverns.

As one ventured deeper into the heart of the mountains, the landscape changed, and so did the fragrance carried by the chilled air. The aroma of clary sage surrounded the senses, calming and clarifying, almost as if guiding one's thoughts towards introspection. This was then joined by the sharpness of cypress and the nostalgic scent of pine needles – a reminder of many a winter spent under the vast, star-studded Himalayan sky.

Yet, it was the base notes that truly captured the soul of winter in Manaslu. The majestic Himalayan cedarwood stood tall and proud, grounding all other scents with its deep, woody presence. Sandalwood added a creamy warmth, comforting and embracing like the safety of a well-constructed shelter against a snowstorm. And then, the softest whisper of ambrette seed, known commonly as musk mallow, wrapped it all up – a gentle touch of luxury in this stark yet breathtakingly beautiful landscape.

For those who experienced it, this wasn't just the essence of winter. It was "Winter in Manaslu" by Hima Jomo – a fragrance that captured the very soul of this sacred mountain during its most serene season. A perfume, as enigmatic as the land it represented, offering a silent promise of a journey of discovery, both within and without.
