निजानन्द - A moment from childhood
You are blissful in yourself, you are a child, there is cola water ice in your hand, the transparent bag for 20 cents, brown-reddish shimmer, the cool mouth, the bitter-sweet herbs and the moment when only ginger-white crystals still shine. Then you rub your hands on your trouser legs, on the bitter stains from the herb garden, the damp traces of the earthy soil, the pearly butter of soft roots and the dark resins on all the trees in the summer conifer forests. Something creates an illusion, lets you be Nijananda for a while.

Kevin Peterson from Sfumato in Detroit, Michigan, is convinced that humans have created a kind of collective olfactory memory in the course of evolution, whereby natural fragrances are able to develop and transport subtle stimulus reactions over thousands of years. His natural fragrances, which he produces by hand from 100% natural raw materials, are therefore time capsules.
With "Nijananda", he dedicates himself to the meaning of an epithet of Śiva from the Purana, an epic poem that preserves the cultural history of India. The name denotes someone who is blissful in himself, free from desires, creator of illusions. The individual notes of the fragrance create equally anamorphic images in my mind's eye. First of all, there is the memory of the transparent, elongated cola water ice cones from my childhood. Presumably the combination of spicy, woody angelica seeds with spicy ginger and the tart citrus aromas of lime and yuzu. After a while, earthy-rooty notes (vetiver, patchouli) appear underneath, creating a coniferous forest with traces of copal resin root butter (the jasmine probably plays a role in the pearly-soft iridescent consistency) on the scuffed children's adventure pants with resinous cistus aromas and lightly resinous sandalwood. A discreetly projecting, multi-hour time capsule from childhood days.
