Nijananda - A Moment from Childhood
You are blissful within yourself, a child, with a cola ice pop in your hand, the transparent bag for 20 cents, a brownish-red shimmer, the cool mouth, the bittersweet herbs, and the moment when only ginger-white crystals still shine. Then you rub your hands on your pant legs, on the bitter stains from the herb garden, the damp traces of earthy soils, the pearlescent butter of soft roots, and the dark resins on all the trees in the summer coniferous forests. Something creates an illusion, allowing you to be Nijananda for a while.

Kevin Peterson from Sfumato in Detroit, Michigan, believes that humans have developed a kind of collective olfactory memory over the course of evolution, enabling natural fragrances to develop and transport subtle stimulus reactions over millennia. His natural scents, handcrafted from 100% natural raw materials, are thus time capsules.
With "Nijananda," he dedicates himself to the significance of a nickname of Śiva from the Purana, an epic poem that preserves the cultural history of India. The name refers to someone who is blissful within themselves, free from desires, a creator of illusions. Similarly, the individual notes of the fragrance create anamorphic images before my inner eye. First, there is the memory of the transparent, elongated cola ice pop bags from my childhood. Probably the combination of spicy-woody angelica seeds with sharp ginger and the bitter citrus aromas of lime and yuzu. After a while, earthy-rooty notes (vetiver, patchouli) emerge beneath, creating a coniferous forest with resinous cistus aromas and bright resinous sandalwood, with traces of copal resin root butter (where jasmine likely plays a role in the pearlescent soft shimmering consistency) on the worn-out children's adventure pants. A subtly projecting, multi-hour time capsule from childhood.
