Today I will describe an example of diagnostics using associative interpretations of the legendary aroma of one of my favorite brands Nasomatto “Black Afghano” or “Black Afghani”. The aroma is niche, fantasy, frankly speaking, ambiguous and even provocative. Before talking about the fact that some hear in it pure sex and the smell of unwashed crotch, or dirty socks and dog, while others hear divine notes of hemp, taking you into the euphoria of smoking marijuana - Let's look at the composition of the olphacotor pyramid of these witchcraft spirits. The Afghan is soloed, of course, by the tart, cheerful grass heated in the sun rising over the hemp field. It is accompanied by a trail of green notes, but not green, freshly cut and sweet - rather, it is a chord of wormwood and feather grass steppe, stems crushed under the hooves of the lathered horses of the warriors of Islam. Then comes a chorus of resins that hit the nose a little, and the smells of sawn trunks of just felled trees. Mixed with them is the smoke of strong tobacco, which nomads smoke at rest, and freshly roasted coffee beans. Isn’t it truly a devilish mixture! And in the base of the composition there is a noble oud, worth more than gold (such a valuable wood, or rather its juice released during the rotting of the crown) and precious incense, the fragrant smoking of temples and funeral processions. The Afghan is worn by both men and and women, although for some reason it is generally accepted that it is more suitable for brutal macho men than for fragile women. But even among the ladies there are tough nuts to crack, as they say - girls with character. You need to dive headlong into this special aroma, and he willingly allows you to do this. And the way you visualize it, what images and associations first arise in your imagination, can say a lot about you, your current state of health, and the problems that need to be solved. An aromatherapist will help interpret metaphors. For some, this smell invigorates, energizes for exploits, fuels, motivates. Others see in it only animalistic blackness with elements of unjustifiably exaggerated wildness of nature. And for others, the smell somehow politically correct fits into the characters of books, becomes close, understandable, one of his own. One man generally imagined the proud Afghan as just one of the accessories of the toilet, and nothing more. And the poetically inclined girl created in her head a romantic metaphor of the Black Afghan paired with a White Chinese woman - another wonderful feminine scent Nasomatto. Well, this does happen. Aroma diagnostics based on associations caused by inhaling aromas is an exciting therapeutic process. So many images arise in everyone who dives into the field of aromatic mix and emerges from there changed! It’s as if I took a journey through the wild country of my soul - the dark layer of the subconscious, my black Afghan. *new selection of articles about fragrances Read here all the articles in the “Aromapsychology” and “Aromatherapy” cycles © Bogdanova Anzhelika, 2023 Aromadiagnostics, aromatherapy, individual selection of fragrance 9103664555 I’m dialing 2 person for group work
