    "A land where women reign supreme. On the Indian peninsula on the Malabar Coast, the Nair Princesses dreamed up a sophisticated, harmonious society where women held a central position. Legend has it that the lush forest of Kerala produced magnificent blue birds with golden collars to pay eternal homage to the princesses. Since then, at the end of every day, these fabulous birds have created a unique and melodious love song that is carried on a floral, musky breeze up to the heavens." - A Note from the Brand.

    My introduction to Lubin

    Chock full of my favorite notes and accords. I am a floral fan, and I adore iris, so after sampling, this was a full bottle purchase.

    It smells like cheap incense in neighborhood bodegas in India

    I wanted to love this scent so badly. Sigh. But all I can smell is the incense and not the nice kind. It smells like the cheap ones you smell in bodegas in India. It’s sharp jasmine and amber that I smell, I don’t get any of the fruit notes at all. For what it’s worth, the perfume does capture the essence of that incens-y jasmine smell in the high humid heat of Malabar. Reminds me of the jasmine garlands you smell on women’s hair at a wedding or at a temple after it has been worn in the heat for a few hours. Also, a word on the description: Nair women described as princesses are not really princesses. Nairs are a caste largely land-owning and relatively well-off as a community but they are not necessarily princely. So a little bit of an exaggeration there.
