It was cold in Paris on that October day in 1975 when Philippe received a handwritten note from Mischa Barinov in St. Petersburg: an invitation to view a rare, privately owned collection of antiques. He left by train that same evening. Two days later, he arrived at the study of a mansion on the Griboyedov Canal. He settled into a Louis XIV bergère chair next to the fireplace and was enveloped by the scents of old leather-bound books, the crackling fire and the steam rising from a spectacular samovar. Mischa appeared in the doorway. ‘Thank you for coming. I think you will see that your journey was worth it. But first, tea...’ And then, noticing Philippe's obvious obsession with the samovar: ‘Tombac bronze, circa 1775.’
Since the time when our earliest ancestors threw dried leaves and herbs onto their campfires, the art of blending incense has become a sacred and healing art.
