Smoke Clouds in Tibetan Autumn

Quickly, but calmly, test and review "Autumn in Lhoka" before autumn turns into winter. For this, I need to research what Lhoka is all about. Initially, Tibet and temples as well as monasteries come to mind, and it seems to be just that.

To be precise, Lhoka is an administrative district in Tibet where the monastery fortress Yumbu Lagang, with its corresponding founding myth for Buddhism, is located. No wonder that incense is extremely present here. In the successful opening, you can still perceive a bit of cinnamon and a cautious pinch of pepper, as well as a concentrated amount of fir balsam, before it is shortly thereafter swallowed up by the incense, leaving no chance for the other ingredients to assert themselves later.

Overall, the whole thing seems quite niche and appealing; however, due to the intense use of incense, where the other ingredients gradually cannot really develop sufficiently, it unfortunately comes off a little too strict and thus exhausting. Analogously, this means that especially for incense fans who enjoy the material in a clerical way, "Autumn in Lhoka" will bring them true joy.

However, all others who are fond of incense but would have liked to savor the other ingredients like cinnamon leaf or fir balsam will be a bit disappointed, even though at times it feels like the notes flow seamlessly into one another.

Anyone who generally has issues with incense should steer clear of Autumn in Lhoka.

Mystical for Autumn

From dense forest, resin clings to the bark, smoke trails announce the temple, carried by the winds, forget all the clutter, in the abyss you find support.

Strong opening with the pepper. This makes one think of prayer beads, old wooden planks in an Eastern temple. There are types of wood that smell just like this when processed, unfortunately, I can't recall the name.

Frankincense and resinous notes join in, but in a restrained manner, creating a beautiful, harmonious whole that captivates with its sacredness without slipping into liturgical sterility (here I think a bit of Series 3: Incense - Avignon). The primal essence remains subtly present; it is not just a temple, but also nature, which one discovers associatively.

Good longevity on my skin of 5h+. Overall, rather a linear scent.

I would love more of this.

Dust, Spices, and Incense by the Nourishing Fire

My journey with Hima Jomo through the four seasons in the Himalayas continues. After Spring in Bome and "Summer in Paro | Hima Jomo," the journey leads to "Autumn in Lhoka | Hima Jomo," bringing us back from Bhutan to Tibet. Lhoka, as the womb of the Tibetan nation, lies in the high Himalayas with its famous ancient monasteries. In autumn, the harvest takes place, celebrated with festivals. A year of vegetation is condensed in the earth and the crops.

I stand on sun-warmed slopes and absorb the aromas of spicy, dusty earth. Around me, the mountain farmers have spread out their harvest: cinnamon bark, saffron threads, and black peppercorns fill the air gently and warmly. I recall stews simmering over the fire and baked spice bread, conversations over tea in the coziness of huts and tents.

Next door, the grain is being threshed. It lies dry on the ground, dusting, and the grains bounce off the ground, falling back again. I let my hands glide into the softly yielding grains. Within them lies the power of the sun, the nourishing substances of the earth, and the rains of spring and summer. From them, food will be made that sustains people through the winter. Barley and bran will be roasted, ground, and turned into bread and porridge, mixed with water, seasoned, and eaten. I think of the upcoming harvest festival with its delicious foods, the horse fights, and the outdoor dances.

Evening approaches, and with the dew, the aroma of pine greenery wafts lightly from the heights of the mountains. Fires are lit, fragrant woods are placed inside, and pulled out again, smoking aromas saturate the evening's moisture with a hint of patchouli, a reminder of the sweetness and floral abundance of summer. These scents linger delicately even after hours. I remain seated here for a while longer; a friend comes to me, and we warm our legs under a blanket, cuddled together, we perceive the scent of skin and the aromas of the harvest in each other's hair. Here, a saffron thread still hangs in the hair, there, a grain of barley in the wool, I find a peppercorn and crush it between my fingers.

Hima Jomo, based in Grasse, uses 99% natural fragrances that do not last long on the skin but develop individually there. The scents are for all genders. Delphine Thierry tells in her compositions about the aromas of nature and the human cultures of the Himalayas, unobtrusively, finely composed, and intimately. The trilogy "Pashm | Hima Jomo," "Loon | Hima Jomo," and Tchai (wool, salt, and tea) also spoke of this world and was worth a closer study.

Immersed in the scents that celebrate the year of vegetation, making me feel safe and nourished, we enjoy warmth, dust, and memories, and I can calmly look forward to winter. The conclusion of my journey will lead me with Winter in Manaslu into the icy high forest of Nepal. I inhale the warm-scented dust deeply once more.

A Beautiful Incense Scent

A big thank you to Sören for the sample of Autumn in Lhoka :-) I am quite amazed in the end - this is a really great scent that reminds me a lot of Wildfire :-) The longevity is fantastic with well over 12 hours, and the sillage is really impressive :-)

In the top note, the saffron is very prominent. There’s also a certain spiciness to it. And then an incense note hits you so strongly... This is truly amazing! It is wonderfully supported in the heart note by fir balsam. Cinnamon leaves make me linger in a special place... The base remains really beautiful and, thanks to this smoky aroma, feels unique... I can't help but think of a very special woman who once stole my heart... The heart will never return or heal... But this scent makes up for a lot in the end...

I am quite taken aback and thrilled - a beautiful fragrance!

All-Encompassing Incense Magic

Autumn in Lhoka is all-encompassing. The scent does not unfold but envelops the wearer from the very beginning in a magical cloud. First, I perceive pepper and incense and see a Buddhist temple before me. Then comes tree resin, and I sense the warmth of the fragrance. I see myself sitting in front of that temple on a sun-warmed wooden bench. Towards the end, something herbal joins in, transitioning into an almost intoxicating sweetness - that must be the patchouli.
A truly harmonious, successful fragrance that is also very strong and surely lingers on the skin for a long time. It likely depends on the wearer whether they perceive this overwhelming, intoxicating scent as an escape from everyday life or as oppressive. For me personally, it is too overwhelming on the skin. It is a fragrance I prefer to smell in a physical space. Intoxicating and good, but when one has had enough, they can leave the room at any time.
