Light of Ormuz Eau De Parfum 30 ml
The Aroma of a bright Inspiration
The splendor of the ancient Persian god Ormuz, the creator god, lord of wisdom, praised and described by many philosophers. Ormuz, the light of this world.
We are all seekers in the cycle of our lives. We try to do the right thing, sometimes through deliberation, often with a lot of emotion. Sometimes we lose ourselves, following will-o'-the-wisps, on a path that promises wishes that are not intended for us in the end. And yet, on our way, wherever it may take us, we hold a bright light in our hearts, we call it hope.
Light of Ormuz is a fragrant interpretation of our dual emotional world, mystically dark and yet illuminated simultaneously.
 
This fragrance places glittering accents from the divine Imagining into a sensual experience.
Green mint leaves and clear water droplets dispersed by the winds sway gently in the light of dawn. With unlimited energy, spice/herbal buds reveal themselves as aromatic beacons. Vetiver and cedar reveal a sensuality dipped in tonka will-o'-the-wisp which points the way to new paths. Their fragrant secrets are currently hidden. Thus spoke Zarathustra!
What is a will-o'-the-wisp? It is atmospheric ghost lights seen by travelers at night, especially over bogs, swamps or marshes. It resembles a flickering lamp and is said to recede if approached, drawing travellers from the safe paths. Manuela's text refers to it as Irrlicht. What a poetic reference!
Light of Ormuz feels mystical and illuminated from within. I translated Gewürze as either "spice" or "herb" [it can be both], simply because it feels like both to me, with tonka adding its multi-tonal voice to an unusually arid/limpid duality. We are fresh and light, we are covered in the dust of the desert. Everything is open to our view, yet things are not as they seem. It is this juxtaposition which was Manuela's aim, and it works. Whether you are deep in contemplation or at the office, this is easy to wear and love. It is also long-lasting despite its apparent subtlety.
