Tapputi conducted her studies in the full moon
In the scent formulas on the clay tablets, information such as how Tapputi conducted her studies in the full moon and how she presented it to the stars is written. In other words, we don't only see how was the formula but also the way the scent is made. The tiniest details of the making project also take place. A total of 27 pages appeared from the two tablets. It also took pages to interpret the translation. Lemongrass, myrrh, rose, botanical plants are also mentioned here. After this project is finished, we will have 11 clay tablets left.

The daily lemming
From "clean hair care" brand Ceremonia, the Guava candle: "Gentle, sweet, and balanced, this scented candle blends ripe guava fruit with a delicate hint of lemon zest. South American tonka bean adds nostalgic familiarity alongside subtle whispers of violet, black tea, vetiver, and brown sugar. The result is a layered fragrance that opens up and blossoms with the woodiness of a humid rainforest." 266 ml for $36 at Sephora.
