Bracing Nilgiri tea steams up from the middle notes through the top notes. Black ink gives the tea a slightly smokey and slightly metallic trigeminal effect, this is more sensation than smell. White agar, an accord of naturals and synthetics based around a fantasy version of oud, gives a clean, deep woody dry down. Palm dates accompany the white agar, adding a sweet honeyed depth.

Ashara is a woman who knows her limitations and how to get around them.

I was mostly curious about the tea notes, but the ink was actually the winner for me. It felt like I was in a grand, old library with someone scratching away with a fountain pen nearby and someone with a small plate of sweets and tea off in the distance. The tea and date notes were more subtle but came out once the intensity of the ink note faded slightly. I love tea scents, but I wasn't sure about the ink, so this one surprised me with how much I enjoyed it.

It's an interesting scent profile, but it ended up mostly smelling like soap, maybe Dove, and a hint of sage. Mostly feminine throughout, so I gave it to a friend, she loved it and said it smelled like a fresh skin scent.
