1 + 1 - Adorem Nez 2022

Adorem is the gourmand incense that I never knew I needed in my life. It reminds me of when I had a frankincense chocolate a number of years ago—yes, a bar of chocolate with actual frankincense resin. My nose reads equal measures of olibanum, elemi, and cacao in its heart, simmering to a smoky cedar.

It has a dry, delicious umber warmth, at the crossroads of comforting hygge and melancholy nostalgia. Its perfect for spacing out at a dusty windowsill, staring at the frost on the pane on a blustery winter day, admiring the patterns that form, while listening to the crackle of the fireplace.

Black is supposed to thematize 1 + 1 - Adorem?
This wonderful, vibrant, colorful Somali incense scent is supposed to be black? Which black are we talking about here?

Maybe black as the ultimate absorption of any colored light. Then I can agree.
The black hole.
With 1 + 1 - Adorem I become the black hole.
I carry all the colors of light within me.
No photon can escape me.
Infinite warmth, a kaleidoscope across all spectra.
Not visible in the “outside,” directed “inward.”
But where is that supposed to be?
There is no place anymore.
Here, everything is one.

Dance with me closely embraced
at the Event Horizon.
There is cocoa and tea.
Let go.
We are in this together.
We have “always” been.
But when is that supposed to be?
There is no time anymore.
Here, everything is one.

No one comes out alive here anymore.
That may be - no one comes in alive either.
Matter is just a feeling. Everything is light.
Here, everything is one.

Yes, I could understand such a black.
