The Ritual of Ayurveda

Chakra Water - Indian Rose & Himalaya Honey

Rituals

When my travel package from Rituals arrived, I was very pleased, as I have always had very pleasant experiences with the brand while browsing in shopping centers and the like. And I am still optimistic that a few of the new "The Ritual of..." offshoots will suit me. A little calming and meditation is always good. Unfortunately, neither "Ayurveda" nor "Jing" were particularly good starts this week...

"The Ritual of Ayurveda" reminds me of rosy infusions in the sauna and is one of the more transparent honeyed scents of recent times. Pink, gentle, shallow. A pond and spirit fragrance. Clearly more feminine. For me, it’s a thornless, slightly green rose in a tub full of pink bath foam. Rapunzel, let down your innocence. Good and smooth, naked and compact. It captures the philosophy of Rituals well in a bottle. But it doesn’t blow me away.

Bottle: (bath) chic
Sillage: delicate and never out of character
Longevity: wellness-like 4 hours only

Conclusion: the creamy-green "scent of Ayurveda," which is interpreted here quite finely and of high quality olfactorily, is unfortunately only very limitedly my thing... I actually like rosy scents. This one is just a bit too shampoo-like and shower-like for me.
