perfumes that feel like this passage from geza csath’s ‘opium and other stories’
“I was galloping on a white stallion towards Baghdad. It was a brilliant summer afternoon. The towers of the city, the strips of cedar and palm groves stretched upward, shimmering, sizzling, fading out into the burning, golden dust of the departing sun. Flowers in the gardens breathed out their last fragrance, and the sighs of the roses floated and crowded my way all mixed with the odors of frankincense and balsam trees.”
his writing is so evocative.. so fragrant! the magician’s garden is another story of his that i almost feel like i can smell.
