A cave painting from before the common era.

This dry fresco is worn from the passage of time, but depicts a well appointed man surrounded on all sides by dark haired and shirtless women adorned in the finest of jewelry.

The man raises a single eyebrow at a woman who kneels before him and offers her hand, as others vye for his attention.

What thoughts cross his mind? What thoughts crossed the mind of the painter, many years ago?

An exquisite blend of sustainable sandalwoods, precious Egyptian kyphi, sweet orris root, benzoin resin, cassia, and blessed spikenard. Can be used as a fixative layering note to give dimensionality and longevity to lighter perfumes.

"When sorrow lays us low for a second we are saved by humble windfalls of the mindfulness or memory: the taste of a fruit, the taste of water, that face given back to us by a dream, the first jasmine of November, the endless yearning of the compass, a book we thought was lost, the throb of a hexameter, the slight key that opens a house to us, the smell of a library, or of sandalwood, the former name of a street, the colors of a map, an unforeseen etymology, the smoothness of a filed fingernail, the date we were looking for, the twelve dark bell-strokes, tolling as we count, a sudden physical pain. Eight million Shinto deities travel secretly throughout the earth. Those modest gods touch us-- touch us and move on."

- Jorge Luis Borges, Shinto 

Art: Painting from Ajanta Caves, Maharashtra, India, 2nd century B.C.E. - 650 C.E.
