Winning the World- Master Herbalist & Perfumer of the Year Award: The Gift of the Five Senses and the Might of the Sixth 
I am very happy to share that yesterday, at a very glittering and exotic gathering in Lausanne, Switzerland - the world's luxury and fashion hub - the Herbalist and perfume awards were announced!
At a beautiful enchanting setting, right next to the magnificent Cathedral of Notre Dame, the epitome of Gothic architecture, the world's best perfumers, alchemists, and herbalists gathered to celebrate the world's best perfumes and herbal mixtures that delighted people the year around.
The event was jointly conducted with the great experts of the American Natura Herbalist Association, the World Fragrance Foundation, and was sponsored by legendary industry big-lights of Versace, YSL, and Christian Dior.
My bubble entry titled "BL 141" was chosen as the number one Herbal Tincture.
The BL stands for Blue Lotus and was described by the judges as euphoriant, aphrodisiac, nerve-calming, anxiety-reducing, and the number one tincture for natural restful sleep.
Even more delightful was the fragrance I created with the entry "BLHM2345", which was described as inexplicably complex, straight out of Arabian Nights but not so heavenly to the zen, and unlike anything ever met or smelt before by an organize group of fragrance connoisseurs. Luck on my side as my entires were chosen amongst the best 6000 entries received over the last 15 months
The HM stands for Himalayan Musk. And BL is for Blue Lotus Again
The Award presented by Lady Annemarie Sophie of Sioux was accepted on my behalf by the bevy of angles and glamorous beauties representing the biggies and their fragrances as usual as the Guruji remained IN ABSENTIA
The context: The road to presenting Olfactory Greatness
Somewhere in the middle of the year 2020, with the pandemic operating at an epic scale, the world's glittering capitals were devoid of any human movement. There was a knock on the door of my suite just around midnight.
As I opened the door, I saw a 6'4" man with a deep blue coat, wide, thin, almost pale piercing blue eyes, and sharp eyebrows. He addressed me and said, "May I have five minutes of your time?"
As he sat across from me, he opened a small briefcase and took out a small exotic vial, passed it to me, and said, "Is this yours?"
I took a whiff from the vial, looked him square in the eye, and told him, "Undoubtedly, this is mine, but not what has been added to it."
He replied, "Yes, please excuse my frivolity, but my question is: what is the main note, middle note, and if it is what I think it is, how is it possible?"
It was a complex situation. I smelled the vial again and, with no ambiguity or insecurity, told him that the middle note is organic Blue Lotus fermented for six weeks in 189 proof organic spirit.
He respectfully said, "May I have a quiet walk for 10 minutes and come back?" to which I nodded.
When he returned, he asked me fair and square, "Would you like to share this for bigger production? And what was the staple water source for mixing?"
If you recall the staple water is electic mix of
Divine water from 12 sacred sources around the Globe with majority content being of the Ganges/ Ganga ever known to Mankind. they co-
Exist peacefully in my dwelling with No contamination or Zero Problems- God is Great.
I told him that this was not for commercial production since I will not use alcohol or any artificial chemicals in my creation; hence, it is unviable for commercial productions. Besides, it is so potent that it is not for universal consumption.I was really amazed by his input on how alcohol can be replaced, and then I understood why, despite the true knowledge of complex fragrances and healing herbs lying in Asia, the most celebrated complex perfumes come from Europe, especially France.
As he left he took out a red velvet pouch with Golden Lace and said:
Master I think you might need it .. so I bought it along.
THE REST IS HISTORY.
Fast forward to September 23, 2021: A Defining Moment
With Gucci Guilty in hand in the skies and the upcoming release of "House of Gucci," it was Lady Gaga's mighty adventurous moment, but also a celebration for me.
In the pandemic gloom and doom, here I was in the sky on September 23 with an iconic fragrance, an iconic star, and an iconic landmark moment on a day that is very special for me.
The same middle note of the Blue Lotus, which is pretty difficult to be stable and bioavailable in my formula, later translated into the 2023 sojourn and romance with the iconic BVLGARI and the creation of their legendary LA GEMME range of perfumes.
I have always said that you have nine holes in your body that correspond directly to the nine planets and their impact on your destiny. You can be very rich, very lucky, and very hot just by ensuring that the seven holes in your face are working optimally.
And
I'm not saying master level, but just about optimally.
These awards are classified as the celebration of olfactory excellence, but for me, these awards are a celebration of the sense organs given to us by God Almighty and their expression in day-to-day life that gives us the opportunity to experience heaven and be God-like.
As the world's biggest, most resourceful, but at the same time, the most fashionable, luxurious, and beautiful congregated, my high point was that both my herbal mixture and fragrance were first taken by that iconic Frenchman who made that visit late in 2020 into the Cathedral of Notre Dame. It means the world to me.
Who am I? What do I do? When will these wondrous creations be available to the public? Allow me to share that these are available to those who deserve and who can handle them, but yes, discussions are underway to ensure that somehow they reach the right people in a viable manner.
The best thing about the awards were two radically different and new categories, which really enthralled me:
- The top 10 women's perfumes liked by men
- The top 10 men's perfumes liked by women
This is actually a true celebration of yin and yang, more than the olfactory experts or the maestros of scent or taste.
What I love about this is the direct human interaction and attraction of opposites. Some of the chosen fragrances are absolutely legendary, and I personally don't hesitate to use them.
Incidentally, the legendary Frenchman (whose identity I may disclose and share a picture of sometime later this year) asked me,
"From where did you get this fine combination of olfactory excellence and alchemical creativity?"
To which I responded that I think my fundamentals of knowing the miracles of gemstones and their powers is the precursor foundation on which everything was built.
My First Gemstone Adventure 
My first real-time commercial interaction with gemstones began in a hallowed house in Ajmer. The legendary Jeet Malji, uncharacteristically, took me aside and said, "Guruji:
In our family records, my great-grandfather speaks of our ancestors' special skills, especially in assessing the temperature, fragrance, and value of gemstones. He recounts their adventures on voyages to Burma and other far-off lands.
My grandfather, known as the 'Andhe Johari' (Blind Jeweller, didn't possess this power, nor do I. But in you, I see that gift .
It's a God-given talent to be nurtured and shared with the wise and deserving.
I offer you access to my entire inventory, including ancestral pieces locked away for over 150 years, along with my ancestors' notes."
I was overwhelmed by his offer but never leveraged it out of respect for tradition.

The Zenith of Creation
The human form is the zenith of God's creation. In this life, I've been blessed with extraordinary leanings towards the obvious but still unknown but starting with our 5 primary senses
- Sight : Recognising and being the part of the biggest ruby deal of 2024. Hey they even attributed a whole new colour to me.
- Taste : Being an ambassador for Grant distilleries- Ref: The Grant’s way
- Sound : Finding the right frequency among thousands over 1400 posts
- Smell : A rare distinction and ongoing education
I'm grateful for the recognition of my creations, including the 14-carat gold medallion from Laussane.
The Blue Lotus Promise
I'm certain that by fall 2026, you'll have your share of the blue Lotus.
Natural Creations & Painful Explorations
I create with natural substances, requiring painful explorations and sacrifices.
When crafting a scent, I might listen to Vivaldi while concentrating on subtle details and adjusting to cacophonous inane sounds of those around me that are of no consequence.
Synthetic materials and cheap alcohol kill perfume quality. I strive for excellence in everything I create, even a simple bowl of rice.

Of You.

Closing Reflection
“The Best part in being a mentor is that i am akin to a lost happy innocent child always in a creation mode.. from men to mentors but
I may be a student… but some have been kind enough to celebrate me.”
Even if all I serve is a bowl of rice, I’ll ensure you feel like a million bucks.
In 2026, perhaps… the Blue Lotus shall reach you.
Until then, remember:
“Your body is your lab. Your senses are your divine instruments. Use them well.”
This calls for a big celebration tomorrow, Friday. I can teach you how to sip the best champagne ,
but
who will serve it elegantly and maintain the aromatic ambiance for your heavenly experience?
If you can.. Do let me know
God bless you my lovelies
