Breathing Florals

Mayura from Auphorie. A lush, voluptuous Oriental-Floral perfume composition with long, sharp fangs. Oh yes, this one bites.

Of all the perfumes I have tried from the house, it is the least unique and peculiar(as some of them are), yet like most of them it is well-put together. It takes that classic French, big animalistic-floral motif and adapts it to the far Eastern aesthetic, Indian, I would say. From the warm and bracing blast of spices that open the perfume to the breathtaking heart filled with exotic florals and all the way to the heavy musk-drenched base. Jasmine rules the show with shy ylang-ylang and tuberose to support. There is a "warm-breath effect" infused to the flowers, making them feel alive. And indeed, they feel quite lively. Steamy, also. While the base is unashamedly musk-loaded. A bold floral perfume exuding a dangerously warm aura.

I believe people who love compositions like Casablanca, Salome, MKK, Bal à Versailles, and MAAI, would find much pleasure here.

The peacock dances the cycle of time

I was looking for the cycle of time. Vishnu had had his hands full keeping his billion dollar pile running and so he had lent me his Garuda, something like the Concorde among the vehicles of the Indian gods, whereby since he had to give up his feathers for the peacock poultry Mayura, the glory was over. Like an albatross Garuda slowed down his landing approach to the intoxicating flower meadow with his face and so we ploughed right through a herd of Ganeshas, sweet jasmine, heavy ylang ylang and titanium tuberoses, floral anaesthetics that apparently grew on oak moss, as we slid through the soapy flowers for a good half hour before we froze in park position.
I had smelled the peacock cattle for a few minutes already. Proudly it fanned its sweet animal musk over all the meadows, gnawed lustfully at a leathery snake, marked it with petrified excrement, beaver-hot foaming with glandular secretions on herbaceous-earthy tart nards and bitter brownish carnations. The death struggle of the snake lasted for a good hour. This symbolized the cycle of time, trumpeted the half elephants, who turned with all their holy hands to the turning of incense sticks: Wrap petals on sandalwood, incense and moss for the soap particles. I liked that better, because it smelled, above all the ambered animalism, now at least to India shop. There Shiva smiled, showed me the way to Brahma.
**
Auphorie produces fragrances exclusively by hand and in small quantities from natural extracts and raw materials. In its floral-animal opulence, "Mayura" reminds me very much of high-quality fragrances from my childhood in the seventies. The peacock first dances room-fillingly, later very closely for about six to seven hours proudly the cycle of time.
