Moroccan Rhassoul v. (Meißner Tremonia) copaiba, clove, sandalwood
Copaiba is a resin extracted from trees native to the Amazon basin. It can be used to make varnish or lacquer or even biodiesel fuel. Folklores says that on its own copaiba resin keeps off insects, but supercharge it with honey, and it will ward off witch's spells, too. In perfumes copaiba oil acts as a fixative, prolonging the staying power of a scent. What exactly it smells like remains a mystery to me. I’ve never sniffed a vial of it. But judging from today’s soap, copaiba may have a sort of jammy-woody scent. I take a whiff of Moroccan Rhassoul and I get an image of a grandma making preserves with cloves, honey, and sawdust. Another odd but truly intriguing scent from Meißner Tremonia.
