Billows of smoke in the Tibetan fall
Quickly, but in peace, test and review "Autumn in Lhoka" before fall turns into winter. To do this, I have to research what Lhoka is all about. The first things that come to mind are Tibet and temples and monasteries, and that seems to be the case.

Strictly speaking, Lhoka is a government district in Tibet in which the Yumbu Lagang monastery castle with the corresponding founding myth for Buddhism is located. So it's no wonder that incense is extremely present here. In the successful opening, you can still detect a little cinnamon and a cautious pinch of pepper as well as a concentrated amount of fir balsam before it is swallowed up by the incense shortly afterwards and has no chance of asserting itself later.

Overall, the whole thing is quite niche and appealing, but due to the intensive use of incense, which gradually prevents the other ingredients from really developing sufficiently, it is unfortunately a little too harsh and therefore exhausting. By analogy, this means that "Autumn in Lhoka" will be a real delight, especially for incense fans who like the clerical nature of the material.

On the other hand, anyone else who is well-disposed towards incense but would just as soon have enjoyed the other ingredients such as cinnamon leaf or fir balsam will probably be a little disappointed, even if you sometimes get the feeling that the notes flow smoothly into one another.

Anyone who has problems with incense in general should avoid Autumn in Lhoka.

A beautiful incense fragrance
Many thanks to Sören for the bottling of Autumn in Lhoka :-) In the end I'm pretty stunned - this is a really cool fragrance that reminds me a lot of Wildfire :-) The longevity is great with well over 12 hours and the sillage is also great :-)

Saffron is very prominent in the top note. There is also a certain peppery note. And then an incense note blasts in... This is really awesome! This is carried miraculously in the heart note of fir balsam. Cinnamon leaves let me linger in a special place...The base remains really beautiful and becomes unique thanks to this incense aroma...I somehow have to think of a very special woman who once stole my heart...The heart will never return or heal...But this fragrance makes up for a lot in the end...

I'm pretty blown away and thrilled here - a beautiful fragrance!

Dust, spice harvest 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, the journey in Autumn in Lhoka takes us from Bhutan back to Tibet. Lhoka, the womb of the Tibetan nation, lies in the high Himalayas with its famous ancient monasteries. Harvesting takes place in the fall and the harvest is celebrated with festivals. A vegetation year is condensed in the earth and the crops.

I stand on warm, sunlit slopes and take in 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, delicate and warm. I remember stews cooking over the fire and baked spiced bread, conversations over tea in the comfort of the huts and tents.

Next door, the grain is being threshed. It lies dry on the ground, dusty and the grains bounce off the ground and fall back again. I let my hands slide into the softly yielding grains. They contain the power of the sun, the nourishing substances of the earth and the rains of spring and summer. They will be used to make food that will see people through the winter. Barley and bran will be roasted, ground and milled into bread and porridge, mixed with water, seasoned and eaten. I think of the upcoming harvest festival with its delicious food, the horse fights, the outdoor dances.

As the evening draws in, the dew wafts gently over the aroma of the fir trees. Fires are lit, fragrant woods are put in and pulled out, smoky aromas saturate the dampness of the evening with a hint of patchouli, a reminder of the sweetness and floral richness of summer. These fragrances linger for hours. I sit here for a while, a friend joins me and we warm our legs under a blanket, snuggled up together we take in the scent of each other's skin and the aromas of the harvest in each other's hair. There's still a thread of saffron in my hair here, a grain of barley in my wool there, I find a peppercorn and grind it between my fingers.

Hima Jomo, based in Grasse, uses 99% natural aromas that do not last long on the skin, but are individually expressed there. The fragrances are for all genders. In her compositions, Delphine Thierry tells of the aromas of nature and the human cultures of the Himalayas in an unobtrusive, finely composed and intimate way. The trilogy Pashm , Loon and Tchai , (wool, salt and tea), also told of this world and was worth a closer study for me.

Immersed in the scents that celebrate the vegetation year, making me feel safe and nourished, we still enjoy the warmth, dust and memories and I can look forward to winter with peace of mind. The end of my trip will take me to the icy high forest in Nepal with Winter in Manaslu. I inhale the warm, fragrant dust once again.

I agree this is simple but lovely. Cinnamon in the opening and then the scent of Autumn leaves with a touch of smoky incense.

Some cinnamon in the opening, quickly followed by smoky birch tar, barley flakes, and bread crust. Quite simple, but nice and comforting.

It reminds me of the scent of burnt wheat, a flour of ancient origins used here in Italy. Meditative and reassuring.
