Chalice Vivienne #6

The Vessels Collection

Named for a jeweled cup, this blending of exotica includes the following aromatics: Fig, Frankincense and Labdanum.

Known first by the name “Olibanum” it is perhaps now better known by the more common name FRANKINCENSE. The rock resin of this tree was considered as precious as gold. It was obtained by making a deep cut in the trunk and allowing the sap to ooze slowly into the air where it will harden solid. It was then collected and stored under guard such was its value. It would be most sparingly used and its spicy aroma would fume the air on only the grandest of occasion.

In Ancient Greece the athlete was held in the highest esteem. For the elite of sport both training and diet were of paramount importance. The common FIG was considered vital for contestants as its succulent sweetness assured swiftness and strength. Such was its perceived power it was against the law to export the fruit of the finest trees.

Found in the Castile region of Spain is the Rockrose, a small evergreen bush. From its leaves and branches it exudes a resinous sticky wax that has a strong sensual scent. Goats are herded through the bushes to feed and later have this tar like resin carefully combed from their beards. This rich aromatic is called LABDANUM, or by its other name Incense of the Black Sun.
