When my group of musicians began to rehearse the early versions of the Hara’s Quest songs, we met regularly in a large airy room, at Concordia University (where I taught singing) in Montreal, Canada.

     We had a wonderful bass player, Alain Turgeon, who recorded with us on the first demo. Later, he left the group, and a new bassist, Suzanne Ungar joined us.

     When she walked into the rehearsal room the first time, several of us remarked on the wonderful scent she was wearing. It was sensuous, earthy, and somehow light and sweet all together.

Hara's Scent

     I was struck by how close this fragrance to the scent I had imagined Hara experiencing during her life-changing deep body massage. (Click to View the Song, “Body”)

     Because the sense of smell was so important in Hara’s journey, I decided to create a blend of oils to sell along with the CD. Suzanne offered to come up with 10 or 12 combinations of oils to test.

     One evening, four women in the music group sat together to nose-test the various potions as Suzanne unveiled them. I also brought two blends that I had put together. In the end, we were in complete agreement about the blend that most represented Hara. It was Suzanne’s original fragrance.

     In the past, I seldom wore perfume or oil blends. But I have been wearing Hara's Perfume Oil for over a year now. I still find it an intoxicating smell. And many women have asked me what it is and where they can get it for themselves. Men seem to like it very much. I suspect it is the musk that attracts them!
