Hexensalbe

Hexensalbe

Stora Skuggan

“In rifleing the closet of the ladie, they found a pipe of oyntement, wherewith she greased a staffe, upon which she ambled and galloped through thick and thin, when and in what manner she listed”
– Proceedings Against Dame Alice Kyteler, Prosecuted for Sorcery, 1324

Hexensalbe, also known as witches’ flying ointment, was a hallucinogenic salve used in witchcraft in the middle ages. It was a mixture of extremely poisonous ingredients.

The drug produced an ecstatic trance with powerful sensations of flying, images of otherworldly creatures and a primal sexual hunger. These hallucinations are at the core of the mythology of witches, where they fly to the sabbath at Blåkulla or Brocken to do it with the devil and other witches in unholy rites.

So, the image of witches flying can be traced back to the use of hexensalbe, but why on a broomstick? The ointment was so poisonous that eating it would be directly fatal, instead it was applied to other soft membranes of the body, armpits and more commonly the genitals. Because of the erotic effects of the high, the salve would often be rubbed directly onto a phallic object like the end of a staff or a broomstick. And so, the witch did not ride the broomstick like we picture her today. She actually -really- rode it.

Given which aspects of the story of hexensalbe has survived into the modern image of witches, and what has been suppressed, it would seem that the one thing more terrifying than witches or devils, is female sexuality.

Hima Jomo

The Darjeeling tea fields with the rolling hills covered in vibrant green bushes that stretch as far as the eye can see in the foothills of the Himalayas. Amongst the beauty of these fields lies the perseverance of the farmers, the shadows of their hard work before the break of dawn. Each leaf plucked with tenderness like a mother’s touch, ensuring that each and every bush is healthy and thriving. Nourished with their love, the tea leaves transform into an aromatic flavour of comfort, a reminder of the power of nature and the human spirit, of the profound bond between the land and the people who work it. 

In the mist and clouds of Darjeeling, the tea farmers gently pick the buds of the first flush. The crips and sweet aroma of each leaf lingers on their calloused hands.

Hima Jomo

When Nature Meets Craftsmanship: The rugged mountains of Kashmir offer a breathtaking landscape and crisp air where the majestic Cashmere goats roam freely, grazing on sparse vegetation that clings to rocky terrain. The goats shed their winter coats in the spring season while being harvested with utmost care. The scent of pashmina is soft and sensual, evoking an alluring aroma of cashmere, musk, and body warmth. It reminisces of the gentle care that artisans take during the harvesting of the cloudy-soft cashmere and the weaving of the exquisite pashmina, connecting time-honoured traditions to the smell of mother earth.

The subtle scent of pashmina envelopes in a gentle embrace, reminiscent of the snow mountains and nights by the fire, entwined like a nomad’s fond memory.

The barefoot hippies, the beautiful settings and the dark past were a perfect match resulting in a rock album that to this day inspires people across borders and nations.

19-69

The fragrance pays homage to Madchester: a cultural and musical movement that defined an entire era.

Fragrance notes include Juniper, Thyme and Cedarwood.

“Post-industrial Manchester in the ‘80s: crumbling warehouses and railway arches –and an urge for
experimentation. Suddenly, everything came together: the beats, the dance, the substances. The very hub around which everything revolved was, arguably, Factory Records and extended into their groundbreaking club – The Haçienda. The legendary record label merged talent from the realms of music, art and films to create one of the most significant, and last, youth movements of the 20th century.”

La Habana

La Habana

19-69

The scent La Habana is based on a sailor’s reminiscence of Cuba before the revolution. The scent shines a light on the island’s golden musical era between the 1930s and 1950s.

The scent is aromatic, smokey and alluring. 

“Known as a playground for the mafia and wealthy elite, Havana in the mid 1900s hosted many vibrant music venues like the Tropicana or the members’ guild Buena Vista Social Club. The rhythmic pulsations of Habanera, Latin Jazz and Salsa that were heard everywhere coupled with the dazzling showgirls, added to the tropical island’s allure. After the revolution in 1959 many establishments closed down and with that an era of Havana ended. The scent La Habana is inspired by my uncle who was a sailor, his narratives of Cuba.”

Top notes: 
Aldehyd, Saffron
Mid notes: Elemi, Incense Resinoid
Base notes: Vanilla Absolute, Caramel, Ambroxan, Laotian Oud, Golden Stone, Amber Balsam Resinoid
