A scent as elusive as Klimt's golden vision of the Elysian Fields – "an ideal realm where we can find only pure joy, pure happiness, pure love."Elysion wears like a subtle, immaterial cloak of bright light, green freshness, and muted floral notes.  
This olfactory representation of Gustav Klimt's Beethoven Frieze – a monumental, 34-meter-long cycle of paintings in honor of Ludwig van Beethoven – tells the story of the right side of the painting, which depicts the "ideal realm" full of angels, joy, love, and happiness. This refined fragrance combines the refreshing scent of cedrat, the soothing aroma of angelica root, and the delicate essence of fig leaf. As one immerses in the scent, the subtle warmth of red pepper and the intoxicating allure of mimosa greet you. The floral elegance of water jasmine adds a touch of sophistication, while the mysterious Iso E Super creates a captivating aura that surrounds you. As the fragrance settles on the skin, the rich and sensual notes of amber and musk unfold, leaving a trail of irresistible allure. The final hint of cedarwood gives this enchanting composition depth and a touch of bright, woody sophistication. Elysion is more than just a perfume; it is an olfactory journey that transports you to a realm of pure bliss. With its harmonious blend of notes, this fragrance evokes feelings of confidence, joy, and elegance.

The other side of this story is told by Therion, which represents the "hostile forces."A dark, spicy warmth reveals the presence of the great beast Typhon or Typhoeus, who once ruled the deepest realms of Hades.

Behind the Fragrance

In spring 1902, the Vienna Secession holds an exhibition in honor of Ludwig van Beethoven, who is revered by the newly founded utopian artist group as a visionary hero. On this occasion, artist Gustav Klimt creates a monumental, 34-meter-long cycle of paintings that spans three walls. The Beethoven Frieze, a visualization of humanity's striving for happiness, is an allegory of Richard Wagner's interpretation of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The innovative and bold representations are described by contemporary critics as "shameless, pathological, and obscene."This olfactory representation of the Beethoven Frieze is inspired by the two opposing poles of the cycle, the "hostile forces" on the middle wall and the "ideal realm" on the right wall, two concepts that refer to Greek mythology.  In Greek mythology, the Elysian Fields were originally the paradise to which heroes granted immortality by the gods were sent – a land of perfect happiness at the end of the world, on the shores of the ocean. In Gustav Klimt's painting, this takes shape as the floating angels, yearning for love and happiness, find their way to a female figure with a lyre, embodying poetry. Five women posed in lively gestures represent the arts, referring to the realm of ideas, ideals, and happiness, and particularly hinting at the final chorus of the Ninth Symphony, the song with Schiller's text "Joy, beautiful spark of the gods, this kiss for the whole world."In the blissful kiss, a couple sinks into a paradisiacal setting.

Viennese Blood

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.
