My sunscreen, however, filled my memories full of coconuts. Coconuts, such a strange thing to remember of China.<br /><br />Colleen Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493487266646823709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-39285127886335744312013-02-14T14:21:59.007-05:002013-02-14T14:21:59.007-05:00Am I late?

But I love Neela's fragrances and if India smells even remotely like her creations, I definitely need to go back. Have drained my samples by now and was considering a bank robbery to afford the discovery set.

I brought a small bottle of Arcana's Molly Malone perfume oil with me, knowing that a) it was simple and pretty enough that I wouldn't get tired of wearing it over the course of several days and b) the fragrance would then be forever associated with that trip whenever I smelled it in the future.

The smell of fresh jasmine sambac strands, fresh ripe mangoes, cardamom, ginger, curry leaves, rose/jasmine/sandalwood incense from the nearby temples I can go on on and on. I have sampled Bombay bling and Mohur and like both of them very much. Bombay bling smells like Mumbai! I can feel the glitz and glamour of Bollywood! Mohur on the other hand smells nostalgic. I think the 1920-1940s India must have smelled like this! For this reason alone I like mohur better.

With some regularity I guess they got a shipment and the whole neighborhood would smell of whatever they got, but, the one that really seemed to travel and linger was cinnamon, so, whenever I smell cinnamon I think of grungy Williamsburg and the pink neon Domino sugar sign along the East River so quiet.
