Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Perfumed Plume Award The “Alice Waters of American natural perfume” (indieperfume.com) and author of the Art of Flavor celebrates our most potent sense, through five rock stars of the fragrant world Mandy Aftel is widely acclaimed as a trailblazer in natural perfumery. Over two decades of sourcing the finest aromatic ingredients from all over the world and creating artisanal fragrances, she has been an evangelist for the transformative power of scent. In Fragrant, through five major players in the epic of aroma, she explores the profound connection between our sense of smell and the appetites that move us, give us pleasure, make us fully alive. Cinnamon, queen of the Spice Route, touches our hunger for the unknown, the exotic, the luxurious. Mint, homegrown the world over, speaks to our affinity for the familiar, the native, the authentic. Frankincense, an ancient incense ingredient, taps into our longing for transcendence, while ambergris embodies our unquenchable curiosity. And exquisite jasmine exemplifies our yearning for beauty, both evanescent and enduring. In addition to providing a riveting initiation into the history, natural history, and philosophy of scent, Fragrant imparts the essentials of scent literacy and includes recipes for easy-to-make fragrances and edible, drinkable, and useful concoctions that reveal the imaginative possibilities of creating with—and reveling in—aroma. Vintage line drawings make for a volume that will be a treasured gift as well as a great read.

Download or read book Perfume written by Lizzie Ostrom and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join Lizzie Ostrom on an olfactory adventure as she explores the trends and crazes that have shaped the way we’ve spritzed. One hundred perfumes and scents in all their fragrant glory reveal a fascinating social history of the past century. From the belle epoque through the swinging sixties, to the naughty nineties and beyond, Ostrom brings intelligence and wit to this most ravishing of subjects.There was the patriotic impact of English Lavender during World War I and perfumes that captured the Egyptomania of the 1920s. Estee Lauder created "Youth Dew" and with it, distilled the essence of 1950's suburbia. Patchouli oil—the "anti-perfume" of the 1960s—was sure to keep money out of the hands of corporations and "the man." And who could forget the fervor created by the grunge androgyny of CK One? Scent is truly the passport to memory, making Perfume both a lush treat and an insightful examination of the twentieth century through the most mysterious of the five sense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spiritual Fragrance (Volume 1)" is a compilation of a series of messages given by Professor Zacharias Tanee Fomum to the Saints in the Church in Yaoundé, Cameroon, on various occasions from April to August 1997.Though apparently incoherent, these short messages are heart-to-heart exchanges of the author with some of his very close co-workers and co-ministers in the ministry. To say the least, they are solid leadership material at the macro and micro levels. In them, you will find a timely word for children, parents, students, youths, young adults, young couples, would-be missionaries, missionaries on the field, local church pastors and leaders, just to name a few.The Lord is looking for dependable people to promote into leadership. He is looking for a remnant on whom He can count. Can God take you seriously from the heart?Since they are heart-to-heart talks between a man and his body of leaders, you may find some language that is seemingly hard or offensive. It just certifies that you, the reader, are only privileged to share in the inner secret life of a spiritual leader and his people. Hardness is needed to balance up the softness.That is why David prays, saying, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me"(Psalm 23:4). David discerned rightly that comfort from the Lord came through both His rod and His staff.When the Lord Jesus broke the lunch pack of the willing boy, it fed possibly over 20,000 people, men, women and children included. The boy must have been amazed that his small lunch pack could feed such a huge number of people. If you are not broken, you are useful only to yourself. When you are broken, you become useful to amazingly very many people, beyond what you might have ever imagined.We send this book out with an outcry to the Lord of the harvest to use it to produce competent ministers of the new covenant. May the Lord reach out to you as you go through it.
Download or read book God s Living Fragrance written by Bonnie Brooks and published by Author House. This book was released on 2004-11-17 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God’s Living Fragrance uses our sense of smell to talk about the spiritual realm. Fragrance is a substance of things unseen. How can an invisible God be made real to a visible world? What can we do to make the spiritual world able to be perceived by others? Even when others can’t seem to hear or see spiritual things, they may still be able to smell a heavenly scent. Our success will depend on what scent we give off. Every day we give off either the smell of self or the fragrance of Him. As we learn how to become one of God’s living fragrances we will give off an essence of Him that may open the door of a closed mind or drift through the windows of the hardest heart. As we do, we will find that His presence and power will continue to refresh and renew us as we unplug the stopper and spread the fragrance of Him. Here is a book that is meant to be lived -- not just read.

Download or read book Seven Scents written by Dorothy P. Abram and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2017-06-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying seven aromatic plants with specific psychoactive properties, the author describes the different states of consciousness that are achieved, manipulated, and transformed by the people and cultures that use them in specialized ways, both in the past and in the contemporary world. Focusing on the role that scent plays in healing and spiritual experience, the author explores the use of the fragrant tulsi plant both in Hindu women's ritual and to treat mental and physical ailments. She analyses the appearance of the lotus in sacred Egyptian customs, and as a model of the process of psychological change through metaphorical journeys, as witnessed in shamanic practice and its relation to the Biblical book of Job. Making a significant contribution to the understanding of the healing state, the book is stimulating reading for all those who work with and are interested in aromatics, the sense of smell, or the nature of spiritual experience.

Download or read book Balthasar on the Spiritual Senses written by Mark McInroy and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Mark McInroy argues that the 'spiritual senses' play a crucial yet previously unappreciated role in the theological aesthetics of Hans Urs von Balthasar. The doctrine of the spiritual senses typically claims that human beings can be made capable of perceiving non-corporeal, 'spiritual' realities. After a lengthy period of disuse, Balthasar recovers the doctrine in the mid-twentieth century and articulates it afresh in his theological aesthetics. At the heart of this project stands the task of perceiving the absolute beauty of the divine form through which God is revealed to human beings. Although extensive scholarly attention has focused on Balthasar's understanding of revelation, beauty, and form, what remains curiously under-studied is his model of the perceptual faculties through which one beholds the form that God reveals. McInroy claims that Balthasar draws upon the tradition of the spiritual senses in order to develop the means through which one perceives the 'splendour' of divine revelation. McInroy further argues that, in playing this role, the spiritual senses function as an indispensable component of Balthasar's unique, aesthetic resolution to the high-profile debates in modern Catholic theology between Neo-Scholastic theologians and their opponents. As a third option between Neo-Scholastic 'extrinsicism', which arguably insists on the authority of revelation to the point of disaffecting the human being, and 'immanentism', which reduces God's revelation to human categories in the name of relevance, McInroy proposes that Balthasar's model of spiritual perception allows one to be both delighted and astounded by the glory of God's revelation.
