Dirapuk monastery faces the north face of Mt Kailash, the most sacred of Buddhist mountains. The monastery is on the pilgrim route around Mt. Kailash.
Thomas Schwarze –
A very subtle and mild incense. I perceive it as minty, or like unburned camphor – undoubtedly from the borneol content. It also has this very subtle cypress note which intermingles nicely with the borneol, a very slight sweetness (from sandalwood) and hints of wormwood. My overall impression of this incense is of fresh air on a mountain top, as if I stood on Mount Kailash, my back towards the sun, watching white clouds drift over the mountain top. Very nice!
