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.

Lizette in Recommend Me a Perfume : April 2025: I recommend these two: Bvlgari Au the Vert for a soft green, floral, creamy, elegant and understated scent. Hermes Eau des Merveilles Bleue for an aquatic, woodsy, yet soft fragrance. April 19, 2025 at 12:23pm
