Düfte der Bibel Maienfelser Naturkosmetik Manufaktur

It happened at a time when people began to count forwards and backwards. Not so for little Eliam; he understood nothing of it all, rather he was amazed by the rain, the clouds had just cleared from the marketplace and the ground was harsh, damp clay, soaked with bitter-spicy saffron, on the horizon, eucalyptus veils were still shivering out of Jerusalem.
The merchants' singing voices were confused, "Leaves, buy leaves, people, earthy and green, conifers, dark resins, today Christmas trees, balsam!" They talk as if in Babylon. Eliam rubbed his eyes in wonder, the market stalls melted into herbal ointments, the clay ground whispered spicy shrubs and grasses from gentle rose oils, cooling the bright clouds of incense into softly humming mists.

The Maienfelser natural cosmetics manufactory, located in the picturesque landscape between Weinsberg and Schwäbisch Hall, produces all its products from 100% natural raw materials, some of which come from its own mountain herb garden. You can also participate in distillations there. The EdP are rather moderate in projection and longevity.
The "Scents of the Bible" contain exclusively plants that were popular around the year zero and mentioned in the Bible. The oil is determined by earthy, herb-bitter spikenard as well as green-spicy leafy and simultaneously balsamic needle-like galbanum resin. Eucalyptus-like myrtle provides ethereal overtones. At the beginning, bitter-spicy saffron is recognizable, while later cistus, mild rose-oily palmarosa grass, and bright incense resins come into play. All this creates for me a rather intimate impression of cool, damp rain air over a Levantine market in biblical times, medicinally herbal-bitter.
