Star Date September 2011

Mid-sleep, the sense of smelling ambergris



message from the whales
a nice feeling
I layer it with fragrance when I awake

Cayenne in coffee
a welcome bite
 ... inspired by a strawberry dipped in chocolate imbued with chili powders

I like violet pastilles
licorice and clove gums

and on occasion,
spritz ambergris in my coffee

ambergris coffee

 

Michael of Wondermongery
sent me ambergris spray
Physeter macrocephalusfrom La via del Profumo
profumo.it

after I'd seen ambergris
in the Whale Museum
in Rancho Palos Verdes, California
I could finally smell ambergris

and spritz some
into a cup of coffee
and drink it
and it was delicious
inspired by a perfumer
who soon you will read more of ... here
