If you want to heal soulless wounds, begin to ritually cleanse yourself. Woodrow washed away his worldly thoughts, scrubbed his soul with the peels of oranges, pressed the pores with the herb-fresh pearls into the skin of the little shaman.
There, all his heaviness floated away like the little parachutes of a dandelion into the shimmering distance of the prairie. Dandelion roots lay glowing green before him, herbaceous and bright, lifting smoky threads that ethereally cleared the atmosphere, centering him sharply in the here and now, halting the passage of time. Woodrow was in the expanses of the meadows, where blades of grass let themselves be carried by the wind and in the scent of their bright green tips, the surf of sweet meadow grasses, warm waves of woodruff grew around the shaman. Ssshhh! Reverently listened grasshoppers, crickets, and little clouds of dark vanilla. And all the earth smelled of rain, and moist roots inhabited the soil, and everything was quiet and full of life, and the silence echoed for hours.

"The Healer" is a spiritual fragrance. The neroli-like orange blossoms initially indeed feel very clear and cleansing, before they blend with the herbaceous, bitter ethereal notes of the smoked dandelion roots, which are actually used ritually for cleansing spaces, promoting concentration, calming, and among the Indians as incense to remember the ancestors. In the heart, the scent of fresh meadows mixes with the woodruff-like meadow grass, whose sweet-herbaceous-warm kumarin scent is significant in Western religions, before in the heart the scent of roots and moist clay, the significant Mitti Attar in India, becomes more pronounced. After just two hours, the scent retreats closely and remains as an echo to be sensed for several more hours.

That sounds pretty good. I would place it more in the aromatherapy category than in the "perfuming-to-smell-good" category. You're probably one of the very few here who knows what dandelion root smells like... I'm going to head to the garden and dig one up now.
Beautifully written - just reading it gave me a sense of freedom and calm... Thank you for the lovely meadow trip with Woodrow. The name of the fragrance promises good things (which I could really use right now, I'm struggling with my back and can't sit and write much).
A woman named Ananda creates a fragrance called "The Healer," everything really goes hand in hand. Somehow, the song "The Faith Healer" is popping into my head. I'm going to listen to it now.
I would follow Woodrow, clear my worldly thoughts, and send all the baggage off with the little umbrella of a dandelion on its way into the distance...
The Healer seems to be a suitable key for that...
Even though the description confused me a lot at first, the second part shows me that this scent could actually be worn as a perfume. Certainly not by me, but I know there are earthy-herb enthusiasts out there. I really like the orange opening!
Beautifully and informatively written. I find it wonderful to combine spiritual incense in a fragrance - it's definitely something to let yourself be carried away by.
… I’ve said it before … the fragrance notes of your new releases often don’t pique my interest as much ;) … although … here the dark vanilla and fresh herbal O-pearls are tempting :)) … it’s mainly the imaginatively crafted worlds of your protagonists that you express so uniquely and specially in words …… it was a pleasure once again :)
The scent is like a cleansing magic. It's what we need these days to cleanse the soul and mind from negative vibes and disturbing influences. Thank you for the review.
Once upon a time, perfumes simply spread a sense of well-being through exquisite, carefully composed scents. Then came the bourgeois bohemian, who found all that too little. Always in search of sensations, he now prefers tribal scents that come from archaic ancestor cults. Ethnic minorities are invoked, and shamanic magic à la Castaneda is in play. The most important thing: 100% organic, all natural.
Once upon a time, perfume was luxury in glittering, cut bottles. The Healer looks like medicine.
