Limited Edition (Full Bottles Coming Soon)
2ml Extrait Parfum
(As Meera is a Ltd Edition it is not included in the full sample set)
Take the original Mirabai, age it for 3 years and add a generous helping of additional 80 year old sandalwood essential oil, a Mitti attar and a big increase in Lotus absolute, and then include Indian Frangipani Absolute with a 6 year aged Grey Ambergris Tincture. Meera is noticeably more floral than the original Mirabai, a creamy tea like floral from Frangipani greets you in the opening lasting into the heart. The honey is more subdued compared to Mirabai. The dry down will leave you with Vintage Sandalwood and Aged Ambergris. The projection and sillage is closer to the skin, so expect a more intimate scent cloud. The longevity on my personal skin is around 10 hours finishing with a musky Ambergris skin aura.
1960 Indian Sandalwood, 1940 Indian Sandalwood, 2 year aged Indian Sandalwood, Mitti Attar (Indian Sandalwood co-distilled with clay powder), Pink Lotus Absolute, White Lotus Absolute, Indian Frangipani Absolute, Orris Butter, Rose Absolute, Spikenard, Oud Essential Oil, Vetiver Essential Oil, Frankincense, Tonka Bean, Vanilla Absolute, Honey, Musks, 6 year aged Grey Ambergris Tincture & 4 year aged White Ambergris Tincture.
"Like the bird that gazes all night at the passing moon, I have lost myself dwelling in You." - Meera (AKA Mirabai)
Meera was a 15th century mystic / poet from India, known for her devotional love poetry. One of the most beloved saints of the Hindu Bhakti movement. She is remembered for her intense devotion to Krishna.
Meera was born into a Royal family, in present-day Rajasthan. She married Prince Bhoj Raj of the kingdom of Mewar. The family had repeated extreme attempts at stopping her devotional practises, as they caused embarrassment and tension to the family. Her husband Prince Bhoh Raj died young, and the family, legend has it tried to poison Meera, but she survived.
At a certain point she abandoned the Royal family, and dedicated her life to Krishna, traveling to many of the places in India associated with Krishna, singing devotional songs and sharing her poetry. Today she is respected as one of the great saints of the Bhakti movement.
"Don't forget love, it will bring you all the madness you need to unfurl yourself across the universe." - Meera.
