Düfte der Bibel Maienfelser Naturkosmetik Manufaktur

Floyd has already taken us to the historic market, whose visit would suggest itself based on the fragrance pyramid.
But even beyond it, a spicy-aromatic encounter of fragrance notes hangs in the air, coming together to form the protective composition “Scents of the Bible”.
The stories they tell have their roots very deep in the past, and they possess a very special mystery of their own, which they gradually reveal to us when we follow them with open senses after the elixir touches the skin.
It is easy to surrender completely to these sensations.

The senses bathe in balsamic-spicy smoke, relax and finally open themselves to its profound magic, to peace and devotion in an almost forgotten sanctuary from bygone times, enclosed by protective walls of fragrance and smoke.
The aromas of plants native to the Mediterranean region, such as rockrose and myrtle, or of spices carried by caravans on long, arduous journeys, treasures such as precious saffron and cinnamon-like cassia accords, combine into a whole that heals and protects.
Floating veils of precious resins such as galbanum and myrrh, as well as sacred frankincense, meet valuable, beautifully scented aromatic oils, caressing on the skin, moving, opening the senses.
Everything breathes comfort.

We find the “Scents of the Bible” listed in the fragrance of the same name, together with their respective sources, on the website of the “Marienfelser Naturkosmetik Manufaktur”.
This is an interesting guided tour through biblical history, inviting us to read on while also telling the story of the plants and their effects.

“Scents of the Bible”: A fragrance that does not entirely correspond to conventional ideas of perfume, more likely to be found in soothing aromatherapy.
Its place in this collection is justified, and discovering a fragrant mystery with deep roots in the past is well worth it.

Wrapped in “Scents of the Bible”, there is time to slow down, to retreat inward, to linger in profound silence and magical light.
Thank you ElAttarine!

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.
