Gift of Scent

Is it better to give or receive?   Over the ages, gift-giving has been a sign of friendship, love, admiration, or deep regard for the recipient. Three kings of middle eastern descent walked a long way with their gathered emulsions of gold, frankincense, and myrrh —tirelessly harvested distillations of precious metals, tree resins, plants, and herbs, to mark the tidings of the great joy they felt about a baby’s birth.

When sent ahead, gifts of scent can express the excitement we feel for the specialness of an upcoming occasion or invitation.   When Cleopatra wooed Mark Antony, she was sure to include fragrance in the mix, by having it fanned in the open air around her entourage arriving by boat. Today we call this aromatherapy. Mark brought the finest fragrance o...

I get excited butterflies in my stomach this time of year—like I’m an extra in a Christmas movie or I’m a kid devouring cookies and waiting not-so-patiently to open presents on Christmas Eve. When the first snow falls, I feel like the scene is all set: the Holidays are here and my Holiday Spirit is at the max. Think about the downtown bakery, or Grandma’s kitchen, or the Holiday decorations stores…how do they smell during the holidays? Can’t you just about smell all of th...
