Red Champaca Absolute: The Tropical Luxury
The Champaca tree (Magnolia champaca) exudes a fragrance that has fascinated people living in the Indomalayan biogeographic realm for thousands of years. As is the case with many other tropical florals, Champaca flowers have been used by local populations to perfume linen, as a scent for hair oil and other grooming purposes. The origin of the species name Champaca is the Sanskrit word Campaka (चम्पक).

Keeping up the Good Spirits
In difficult times art helps to keep up the Good Spirits. Attempting to provide some uplift during the current conundrum we have been fortunate to get permission from San Francisco Photographer and Mask Artist Ursula Widera-Cohen to use some of her iconic Mask Images imbued with the San Francisco mood. Please chuckle and enjoy!
