A room where the joy of dancing is palpable. It is Monday morning, December 12, 1877, and the Viennese guests of the Court Opera soirée storm the dance floor despite the dancing ban. Ballroom Boheme is a tribute to the feeling of dancing the first waltz in a long time and captures the scent of a rebellious night. Warm tobacco fills the air, mingling with the sweetness of vanilla, while iris butter lends the scene a powdery touch. Bittersweet tonka absolute and the dense depth of black vanilla absolute envelop the senses, while resinous, fresh accents of rare mangrove wood and Virginia cedar evoke the scent of a dance floor. At the end, only a hint of clove and tobacco residue remain to recall the evening.


Fragrance notes: Clove, Mangrove Wood, Orris Butter, Tonka Absolute, Black Vanilla Absolute, Cedarwood Virginia, Tobacco, Amber

Behind the Fragrance

In the early hours of December 12, 1877, the Court Opera soirée defied all expectations. The chandeliers burned down, casting golden light on swirling brocades and immaculate tailcoats. Although an imperial decree had forbidden dancing, the waltz-loving Viennese could not resist. With a rustle of silk and a hint of disobedience, chairs were pushed aside, and the forbidden rhythm took hold of the hall. At daybreak, the newspapers celebrated the evening's quiet rebellion and praised the indomitableWiener blood: “After midnight there was the first real dance in the ballroom of our opera house.”

Wienerblut

Wiener Blut was founded in 2008 in Vienna by Alexander Lauber. Lauber spent a lot of time in antiquarian shops, at flea markets, and in the archives of the Hofburg to uncover information about perfume from Vienna during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and in the process acquired, among other things, old cosmetic sets from the Habsburg family. WienerBlut believes that great fragrances are like closely guarded secrets and bring the greatest joy to those who keep them. The formulas are designed to whisper, not shout. Wienerblut loves the complexity of natural raw materials and uses them abundantly. The high proportion of natural raw materials causes the fragrances to unfold dynamically over the hours. This is intentional and a hallmark of quality. The fragrances do not become "less"; they change and become one with the wearer. The bottles are made according to old glass traditions in a complex, partly manual process, and feature particularly beautifully crafted surfaces and edges. Their charm lies in small irregularities that testify to true craftsmanship. The caps are made of Bakelite, a material that was developed during the time of the monarchy. Its ivory-like and organic surface made Bakelite a popular material at that time and a substitute for ivory and horn or tortoiseshell. Since production is very expensive, Bakelite is now rarely found.
