Journal Article
Sandalwood and Carrion: Smell in
2015
Overview
Detailed knowledge of perfumes was especially important for the nctgarika (or vidagdha), the man who is a connoisseur of käma, pointing to an important sub-text of this book, a new understanding it gives us of the nagarika in the specific sense of the manner he might prepare his body, and a definite sign that the connoisseur of perfumes is male (p. 151). Part four (chaps. 7-8) deals with the more pragmatic aspects of perfumery, pointing out that the literary sources regarded the place from where perfumes were obtained as having a strong exotic ambience, a quality surely adding to the mystery surrounding the whole subject of perfumes.
