Description
Transistor radio hewn of sandalwood radiates ragas in the Bandra heat. Hot copper tubes warm the soft wood releasing blooms of musk, cream, peach, ambrette, coco, and cedar distillates.
"Real sandalwood essence is perfection. I often wear it neat. It smells of India, effigies, purity, and focus. Unfortunately, it has been overharvested, so perfumers don't use the oil from Mysore anymore. Radio Bombay is a deconstruction of the Mysore Santal rebuilt from all the aspects written above. I imagine the radio sitting in a small hot shop in Bandra - the "Brooklyn' of Bombay (sorry). The heat deconstructs the oils in the wood. Ragas and Geeta Dutt tunes jangle out of its tiny speaker in the busy city." - D.S.
