We're sitting beneath a bergamot tree in a Roman piazza, dressed in all-white linen. The aroma of fresh spice and green herbs mingle with the chilled white wine that swirls in our glass.
The scent of divine incense beckons us, and upon entering the sacred space, we gaze at the grandeur of the architecture and breathe in the scent of timeworn lacquered pews. Rousing us from deep reflection, a monk walks by, chanting hymns and swinging a bowl of warmly spiced, honeyed incense.
I went on an incense binge a while ago, sampling as many as I could find, and Zefiro was my clear favourite. Rather than evoking a Christian place of worship, my mind's transported to the pagan temples of ancient Rome.
