Incienso (Eufros) camphor, pepper, woods, mountain herbs, tea, butter
(Day 3) — Burrow down through this scent past the bristling camphor, the spicy woods, and the pungent pepper, and you finally arrive at a creamy, tangy base that smells like fresh buttermilk. What was Manuel thinking when he put that in his Incienso? It’s hard to be sure, but some of the other smells in this soap seem to have been inspired by the Himalaya, and this buttery milky scent may have it origins there, too.
The people of that region drink a beverage known in the West as butter tea (བོད་ཇ་). A part of nearly every Tibetan meal, it’s brewed from tea leaves, butter, salt, and water. Although I'm not in any rush to drink it (apparently it's an acquired taste), I’d love to smell it, just to compare it to the tangy-milky note in our soap. An important part of this tea’s preparation is to blend it in a long churn until it becomes thick, smooth, and creamy. The velvety texture of the butter tea doesn’t seem to be much different from the sleek lather Incienso makes.
