Grand Himalaya Hotel

In the Indian pre-Himalayas, on a wooded ridge, lies a beautiful hotel. Just the name invites you to dream: “Wildflower Hall”

The current building was erected on the site of an old mansion of the same name, and it combines the charm of a bygone era with all modern comforts.
Upon entering the cozy foyer, the scent of polished cedar wood envelops you. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows opposite, the view opens up over the adjacent valley, which is almost always shrouded in a delicate blue mist.

In the middle of the room stands a table with intricate carvings, which can only be found in nearby Kashmir - and on the table, a large silver vase with a white lily arrangement draws the eye.

As a welcome, guests are served black tea with ginger and buttery pastries with pistachios.
The steam rises from the fine porcelain cup, mingling with the scents of lilies and cedar.

The beginning of some nostalgia-filled days at the foot of the highest mountain range in the world…

This image arose in my mind when I had the chance to smell Stash Eau de Parfum Elixir for the first time.
Hard to believe that it is a celebrity fragrance!

There is nothing generic or girlish here, nothing that shouts “Sweet!” or “Everybody’s Darling.”
Stash is woody & warm, smoky & edgy. I believe I can catch a hint of white flowers, cardamom & ginger. A subtle lacquer note resonates, making the fragrance even more interesting. It lasts a good 7 hours on my skin and develops a gourmand note in the drydown that evokes roasted pistachios rather than caramel or cotton candy.

Stash Eau de Parfum Elixir feels elegant without being pompous and is suitable for anyone who enjoys atmospheric compositions.

I am absolutely thrilled!

Great background with the hotel. However, the scent didn't really excite me. Still enjoyed reading it!
