Lhasa Walk: A Personal Journey through Scent and Art

Writer's picture: Athena HAthena H

Lhasa Walk is a deeply personal creation that embodies the essence of my journey through Tibet, a trip that left an indelible mark on my soul. Eleven years ago, I had the privilege of experiencing the breathtaking beauty and spiritual depth of Lhasa, and this fragrance, along with its accompanying painting, is my tribute to that unforgettable adventure.

Fragrance Composition:

  • Juniper: The fresh, woody, and slightly spicy aroma of juniper transports me back to the crisp mountain air and the juniper trees that dot the Tibetan landscape, symbolizing purity and vitality.

  • Agarwood: With its rich, complex, and slightly sweet scent, agarwood captures the mystical essence of the sacred incense I encountered in the serene temples of Lhasa, evoking a sense of reverence and wonder.

  • Vetiver: The earthy, green, and smoky nuances of vetiver ground the fragrance, reflecting the ancient and enduring traditions of the Tibetan plateau that left a lasting impression on me.

  • Sandalwood: Soft, creamy, and woody, sandalwood brings a calming and meditative quality to the fragrance, reminiscent of the tranquil moments spent in contemplation amidst the spiritual beauty of Lhasa.

The Painting: The painting of Lhasa Walk is an evocative visual representation of the fragrance's inspiration. Using aromatic oils like juniper, agarwood, vetiver, and sandalwood, I sought to capture not only the visual beauty of Lhasa but also the scents that define this magical place.

The artwork features a serene landscape of Lhasa, with a sky filled with soft, drifting white clouds. The distant silhouette of the Potala Palace stands majestically, surrounded by the natural splendor of the Tibetan plateau. Incorporating aromatic oils into the paint adds texture and a subtle, lingering scent to the artwork, creating a multisensory experience that invites viewers to share in my journey.

Inspiration and Creation: My time in Tibet was a profound and transformative experience. The serene beauty, the spiritual depth, and the warm hospitality of the Tibetan people left a deep impression on me. The fragrance and painting of Lhasa Walk are my way of capturing and sharing the essence of this remarkable journey. Each element of the fragrance and each brushstroke of the painting are infused with memories of the sights, sounds, and scents that made my time in Lhasa so extraordinary.

Lhasa Walk is more than just a fragrance and a painting; it is a heartfelt expression of my personal connection to Tibet. Through the delicate notes of the perfume and the textured beauty of the artwork, I invite you to join me on a sensory journey to a place of peace, beauty, and profound spiritual significance.
