Hi, Steemit!!!
Today is #SundayScentExperience !!!! I wrote yesterday that we were in the Arab market in the Old City (Jerusalem) and went to rest in a small family Arab cafe.
An inseparable part of the eastern life is fragrances and incense. Their smell was mixed with the smell of delicious coffee. Immediately in the cafe you could buy herbs and spices that you like. For example, aromatic sticks.
I paid attention to these packages.
If you read the Bible, you know that nard and myrrh have been very valued in the East since ancient times. A little higher there were sets of anointing oils. There were such beautiful jars in the cafe with the already familiar to us myrrh and rose.
If you are not yet familiar with oriental special flavors, do not rush to buy them immediately. For example, many people smell the nard like the smell of a goat. This is a rather peculiar flavor. It fits well with the aroma of incense - has a relaxing effect. The aroma of myrrh is also peculiar with specific smoky-bitter notes. The smell of the myrrh is combined with many other flavors and perfectly influences sleep.
The incense of the East is very rich, so first sniff them and select those that you prefer.
