ॐ गुरवे नम: - Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva Om
Follow the fibers of red saffron, sharp glowing traces, the liquid flames. Cleanse your inner space from the merry-go-round of thoughts. The incense flows in cool flickers, forming burning surfaces of translucent camphor nettles on plateaus of distant mountains. The floors covered in smoking barks, to white ashes of spicy woods, soot in the rain that sounds like a mantra, out of the darkness
Om Gurave Namaha

Marcus R. McCoy, perfumer and owner of House of Orpheus, claims to have learned the language of plants from shamans and the craft of distillation from the origins of alchemy. His creations move beyond the physical, transcending liminal boundaries. He writes hymns to Greek gods and burns incense to accompany them. At the moment, he mainly forges swords and is thinking about giving up scents. I have a thing for weird personalities like him.
"Guru Deva" is a plant-based fragrance, influenced by the scents of India, made from oud attars, oud woods, olibanum and saffron. Its purity is evident right from the start in the natural, spicy saffron notes that open the fragrance and soon combine with cool olibanum aromas, the air-dried gum resin of the boswellia tree. This has the effect of a natural blend of pungent spice, bitter nettle brew, tart camphor, rubbery glue resin and burning embers, cooling and indeed somehow cleansing. Soon, oud chips emerge underneath, hot and spicy barks, like dynam, smouldering, slightly leathery with the saffron, almost a little damply sooty, but rich in wood smoke aromas. This can also smoke out confusing thoughts, in moderate projection over several hours. Great!
