Beschreibung
Radio Bombay ist ein aus Sandelholz geschnitztes Transistorradio, das Ragas (indische Musik) in der Hitze von Bandra ausstrahlt. Die heißen, metallenen Kupferrohre erwärmen das weiche Holz und setzen Moschus- und Kokosdestillate frei. Die Musik dröhnt über den Markt in das Stimmengewirr, wo sich nussige Pfefferschärfe mit den zarten Sahne-Pfirsichnoten des Nachbarstandes paaren. Es entsteht ein cremiger Sandelholzduft abgerundet mit einem bunten Mix an Gewürzen.
Kopfnoten: Strahlendes Holz, Kupfer, Zeder
Herznoten: Sandelholz, Strahlende Iris, Korallenrauten
Grundnoten: Balsam-Tanne-Absolute, Kokosnuss-Moschus, Amber
Behind the Fragrance
I am interested in hypothetical scent. Not everything has a strong or readily perceivable aroma, but objects can suggest a fragrance. Light bulbs glow. Electricity courses through their metal filaments. They melt the dust on their surface emitting wisps of heat. The tubes in amplifiers have a certain aroma. When my 69 Fender Deluxe gets heated-up (after rip-roaring monster shredding), the back of the amp produces a hot dusty metallic grease perfumethe scent of backstage in a humid venue. So what if there was a tube amplifier in an old radio made of sandalwood? Then the interaction of the heat would open up the pores of the wood, singing its smooth elegant fragrancepuffs of musky cedar, peach, coconut, lactones, milk. Real sandalwood essence is perfection. I often wear it neat. It smells of India, effigies, purity, focus. Unfortunately, it has been overharvested, so perfumers dont use the oil from Mysore anymore. Radio Bombay is a deconstruction of the Mysore santal rebuilt from all the aspects written above. I imagine the radio sitting in a small hot shop in Bandrathe Brooklyn of Bombay (sorry). The heat deconstructs the oils in the wood. Ragas and Geeta Dutt tunes jangle out of its tiny speaker in the busy city.David Seth Moltz
