An early Medieval perfume with roots in Antiquity!
We interpret a summer perfume recipe from the Libri Medicinales by Aetius Amidenus, written in 6th century Byzantium.
Not overly sweet, this perfume is earthy, nuanced, and quietly luxurious.
It opens with fresh rose and cool iris, deepens with resinous myrrh and spicy cassia, and settles into rare spikenard offering earthy, woody notes with a hint of musk. Indulge in a scent worn 1,500 years ago, just as captivating and enjoyable today.
