Odour of Sancity

They say when you realize a loved one has passed away, you can smell the scent of roses... the Odour of Sanctity, as Catholicism calls it. 

I think Rose Oud by Kilian perfectly captures this essence - a strikingly lovely rose made all the more enticing by darkness. In the opening, the rose is a delicate bud with a bit of green, but on the skin it opens like a fine wine - rich and luscious with deep, plumy sweetness. The Oud is definitely present but it doesn't feel like a separate entity; its as if the rose has been infused with Oud - it's stem has been placed in oil and it has translated the mysterious stuff through its petals, transforming itself into a rose of unusual moodiness and intrigue. The senses are teased with veils of smoke, traces of leather, hints of wood - passing shadows that make the luminous bloom glow more intensely by contrast. #kilianoud#kilian #roseoud

The Anima Christi

He died
to drive our dark
away

Come and take
our sin away...



Reflecting on the beauty of He who came to save us...

He saved us!

Perfected Recipe

I love Saffron.

It smells like luxury...

... like the crisp, fruity aroma of new leather as you slide into the car seat and hear it stretch.
... like the tingling sensation you get when you wrap yourself in a fluffy, white Turkish towel after a day of sunbathing.
... like the sound of a water fountain trickling and bouncing off walls in an open, spacious place...
... like the satisfaction you get slipping on a little black dress after a long workout knowing you deserve to look good in it.
... or how deep you find you can breath after a long hot stone massage.

Luxury is that feeling you get when you feel like you should be purring.

Just yesterday I perfected a recipe by adding Saffron to it. Its an opulent, yet light and easy breakfast dish - a taste of aromatic luxury.

You will need:

• Creme Fraiche
• Honey (Honey with the honeycomb in it is recommended)
• Saffron
• Orange Blossom Water
• Yogurt (Optional: add plain yogurt if you prefer a thinner consistency)
• Whole Wheat Pita Bread
• Walnuts

Its not every day I come across Saffron, seeing as how its one of the most expensive substances in the world, so when I came across this little vial at TJMaxx Homegoods for $7.99, I had to have it!

Using a mortar and pestle, grind the saffron down into a fine powder spice and place into a bowl of creme fraiche.

Add honey. I use a local, raw unfiltered honey from bees pollinating Georgia wildflowers. I think its important to buy local whenever you can -- not only to support the local economy and develop a relationship with food and community, but also to taste a little bit of the land. There's really so much diversity in flavors when they come from different places thanks to various soil types and qualities, agricultural breeds, weather, etc..

Blend the honey, creme fraiche, orange blossom water and saffron together into a yummy batch of heavenly goodness.

Spread over pita bread and top with walnuts. Viola!

Tip: add a bit of bee pollen for a vitamin, mineral and protein booster!
