luna65 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Travel back in time with me, to the dawn of perfumery...for a salute to a most ancient unguent, crafted of goose fat and tail of goat...well okay, not really a goat! Actually it was a mysterious plant root - Spikenard - which many believed was the tail of a little goat. This fragrance is akin to a warm skin-hugging vanilla with a woody heart and a tiny touch of spiciness, containing precious ingredients of a bygone era: Cistus labdanum, spikenard, and tonka in a carrier of creamy coconut fat instead of goose! CISTUS aka LABDANUM ~ One of the oldest known perfume ingredients. Considered holy, used in tribute, and as a sense-memory tool to stimulate the subconscious. Said to revive long forgotten memories and feelings. SPIKENARD ~ Love, romance and sensuality, grounding and calming, peace, mental clarity, affinity with animals, TONKA ~ Love, money, courage, wishes granted; wards off illness. COCONUT ~ Chastity, protection, purification, receptivity.
