Blue lotus is a heady almost fruity incense with low woody notes but with a hint of high ethereal notes like in Patchouli. Very exotic. The lotus is a symbol in many ancient religions throughout the world. To the ancient Egyptians, a lotus bud or sesen was a symbol of rebirth. In the ancient Egyptian cosmogony, the lotus also represents the newly-formed earth, just as it does in India where the lotus emerges from primeval slime to bloom and provide the foundation of the physical world.
