Indian Vignettes : Henna
Hands painted with henna smell of leather, wilted jasmine and dried lemon peel. A strange but evocative scent. The moment I catch a whiff of it, I think of Indian weddings, including my own. I know only two perfumes with a henna note, The People of the Labyrinths A.Maze and Parfum d’Empire Azemour les Orangers, in which henna plays up their soft leather accords.
Have you ever had your hands painted with henna? If you know of other perfumes with henna notes, please let me know.

Aurora in Napoleon’s Cologne and The Art of Citrus Fragrances: How wonderful that Jean Kerléo recreated the cologne. I love Arancia Di Capri, pretty much all the Blu Mediterraneo line is uplifting. December 7, 2023 at 2:00pm
