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 perfume - the scent of backstage in a humid venue. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSo 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 fragrance - puffs of musky cedar, peach, coconut, lactones, milk. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eReal sandalwood essence is perfection. I often wear it neat. It smells of India, effigies, purity, focus. Unfortunately, it has been overharvested, so perfumers don’t use the oil from Mysore anymore.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRadio 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 Bandra - the “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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEDP Ingredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol denat., parfum (fragrance), aqua (water), limonene, geraniol, linalool, citral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePocket Perfume Ingredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFractionated coconut oil, isopropyl myristate, parfum (fragrance), limonene, geraniol, linalool, citral\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D.S. \u0026 Durga","offers":[{"title":"10 mL","offer_id":44778490134819,"sku":"412\/W\/RADIOPP23","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/7669\/files\/PP_Oils_RB.png?v=1786123259","url":"https:\/\/www.dsanddurga.com\/en-gb\/products\/radio-bombay-perfume-oil","provider":"D.S. \u0026 DURGA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
