Samarkand - Possets

Samarkand is at the perfect intersection of East and West and the main city on the Silk Road. Filled with delicious musks, resins, patchoulis and incense it must have smelled fabulous. By the way, Samarkand is located in modern day Uzbekistan. It was a tremendous destination during the Middle Ages and much of the produce of the East reached Western Europe via trade in this city. Rich proprietary black musk, a thick addition of darkest black tea, knit together with a smooth but almost undetectable attar of roses (which is a catalyst for the whole). The most exquisite nag champa and finally topped off with a thick syrupy aged patchouli and a huge shot of incense. Very very potent stuff, very very sexy.
