Beschreibung
Basierend auf den Ritualen des proto-mississippischen Totenkults der 1200er Jahre zeigt sich eine belebende Komposition aus dunklen, teerigen Holznoten mit einem deutlichen, medizinischen Hauch, der dann angenehm trocken und rauchig ausklingt. Die Harz- und zurückhaltenden Zitrusnoten der Aldehyde verleihen dem Duft gepaart mit nadelartiger Zeder eine anziehende Kräuternote, die dem Duft seinen klaren Charakter verleiht. Ummantelt von zarten Weihrauch und einem warm-holzigen Arrangement aus Fichte, Kaskarilla Rinde und Zeder endet Mississippi Medicine in würzig-rauchigem Birkenteer. Weihrauch, Hölzer, Harze und Salben mit Menthol und Kampfer ergeben diesen ein spannender, magisch-anziehender Duft.
Kopfnoten: Rote Zeder, Aldehyde, Weihrauch
Herznoten: Zypressenwurzel, Schwarzkiefer, Kaskarilla Rinde
Grundnoten: Weihrauch, Spanischer Zedern-Wachholder, Birkenteer
Behind the Fragrance
Mississippi Medicine is based on what little is known about the rituals of a fast growing death cult that emerged in the southern part of the US in the 1200s. Called the South Eastern Ceremonial complex, it is more of a period within the Mississippian culture (the mound builders) when a specific system of religion quickly emerged. Other names for it were The Buzzard Cult and simply The Southern Death Cult (badass). The cedar tree was sacred to them, representing an axis mundi (a gateway between the lower and upper worlds). Nothing gets me going more than the concept that seemingly mundane placesa cave, a space under a bush, a tiny lake, are gateways to the other world. Ancient peoples understanding of the world integrated landscape, flora, and fauna into their whole being. Mississippi Medicine is rich in cedar. Dry red Virginia cedar. Healthy doses of incense help marry the wood to the pine. Incense has been used in rituals since the dawn of time, which means we connect it to religious feeling in the depth of our bones. The heart of MM is filled out with an accord of wild viola that could have grown by the mounds in Mississippi. Birch tar adds a primal smoke. It smells mysterious and ancient.
