The hair ritual mentions incense, which is a pleasant odor
created by the incomplete oxidation of some of the original
material. I'm also reminded of organic chemistry, with the
distinction made between aliphatic and aromatic compounds,
the aliphatic having straight chains, and the aromatic complex rings.
Maybe it's as well we have no wine snob to snow us with the
arcane adjectives they so prize.Better a dittany litany of
flower frangrances.
