Happy Almost-Friday! It’s also International Bat Appreciation Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

Today, I’m doing the Incense Route – Desert Cities in the Negev:

The four Nabatean towns of Haluza, Mamshit, Avdat and Shivta, along with associated fortresses and agricultural landscapes in the Negev Desert, are spread along routes linking them to the Mediterranean end of the incense and spice route. Together they reflect the hugely profitable trade in frankincense and myrrh from south Arabia to the Mediterranean, which flourished from the 3rd century BC until the 2nd century AD.

My fragrance has incense, but it was made in Italy and inspired by an Indian princess, and it most probably was developed by a French perfumer, so it fits in nicely with the theme of world trade. Plus, I smell great and my bottle is suitably ancient: Etro Shaal Nur.
