Scented room
I open the door to the storage and workroom behind the store, step inside and close the door again.
The silence that reigns here literally swallows me up, the street noise and the conversations of passers-by cannot be heard here.
In the twilight that filters through the half-closed blinds, I move to the table and switch on the small lamp that illuminates the work surface; I have to finish some orders for dispatch.
The room smells intensely of the latest delivery of black tea, a smoky variety. I don't know what it tastes like yet, but the smell is pleasant and envelops me with every step. I collect the orders from the shelves, and every now and then I get a whiff of the tart, bitter notes of the quinces that I want to process later on.
I put the goods down on the worktable and bend down to pull out some of the shipping boxes stacked under the table.
The smell of vanilla hits my nose - a few months ago, a bottle of vanilla extract broke and the contents spilled over parts of the worktop and the floorboards. The liquid and its smell have soaked into the pores of the wood, mixing with the light wood scent that is always present in this room.
As I sit down, the same smell rises up from the worktop with a little more intensity and mixes with the black tea and green quince sprinkles.
I'm glad that I can work here for a while.

№ 30 Thé Arabique doesn't smell like a perfume to me, but like a scent aura that some rooms or people have; I would like to linger in this room here.
I only perceive the notes described above. Whiskey is not present for me. I have never consciously smelled gurjun balsam, it is supposed to smell woody-peppery, perhaps this is the very nice, dry woody note that I perceive.
Since I've owned the fragrance, I've become a bit addicted to it. It's only the fact that I own other perfumes that I also like to wear that stops me from wearing it all the time.
I ended up with № 30 Thé Arabique because of the similarity to Baraonda described above - which I can confirm, the fragrances are very similar to my nose in the drydown.
With Baraonda I was always put off by the projection and longevity (it was too much for me), this one is wearable for me. Although it could be a bit more intense / longer lasting; there is another perfume concentration, I think I will test that one.
