mid/night 00.00
Mimosa sun, sea on skin, weightless exuberance.
A thinly layered freshness reminiscent of the ocean breeze – that is the mesmerizing character of the mimosa blossom. Understated and textured, its unique solar floralcy is at once airy, slightly green and watery, capturing the delicate complexity of the morning sea air. Clean aldehydes and soothing aloe notes gloss over with a fluid transparency, revea-ling the warm minerality of sea salt exuded by OrcanoxTM, an upcycled, bio-tech engineered molecule with modern Ambergris facets: clean, musky and woody at the same time.
Aromatic profile: Mineral Floral.
Impression: Awakening. Open. Optimistic.
Key Notes: Mimosa, Aldehydes (Noreenal™), Aloe, Salt Crystals, Ambergris (Orcanox™).

“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.

"Villa Nellcôte is a 16-room mansion of the Belle Epoque, previously occupied and used as headquarters by the local Gestapo during the Nazi occupation of France. In the spring of 1971, new rebellious tenants and their colorful entourage hosted the property for six months. 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. The fragrance is the embodiment of the magnificent garden and beautiful surroundings of the estate.”
