A dark, spicy warmth reveals the presence of the great beast – Typhon, or Typhoeus, once ruled the deepest realms of Hades.
This olfactory representation of Gustav Klimt's Beethoven Frieze – a monumental, 34-meter-long painting cycle, in honor of Ludwig Van Beethoven – tells the story of the painting's central page, representing the "hostile forces" through Tyhpon and his daughters. Therion, Greek for "wild animal" or "beast", is a captivating fragrance that combines a unique blend of notes to create a truly mesmerizing experience, just as staring at Gustav Klimt´s work. Opening with the refreshing and citrusy aroma of bergamot, your attention gets grabbed immediately. The addition of bay leaf and black pepper adds a subtle spiciness, while carrot seed brings a touch of earthiness to the composition. As the fragrance develops, the delicate scent of chamomile blue and the smoky essence of cade intertwine, creating a harmonious balance. The inclusion of violet adds a floral touch, while sandalwood and amber provide a warm and grounding base. To add depth and complexity, cypriol and musk are incorporated, leaving a lingering and alluring trail that captivates the senses. Therion, like Klimt's masterpiece, is a work of art in itself. Its intricate blend of notes evokes a sense of mystery and elegance, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a fragrance that is both unique and enchanting, yet comforting.

The second side of the story is told through Elysion – a bright, green scent full of pure joy.

Behind the Fragrance

In the spring of 1902, the Vienna Secession held an exhibition in honor of Ludwig van Beethoven, revered as a visionary hero by the newly formed utopian artist group. For the occasion, artist Gustav Klimt created a monumental 34-meter-long cycle of paintings that stretched across three walls. The Beethoven Frieze, a visualization of humanity's pursuit of happiness, is an allegory of Richard Wagner's interpretation of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The innovative and bold depictions were 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 powers" on the middle wall and the "ideal realm" on the right wall, two terms that refer to Greek mythology. In the centre, symbolising the hostile forces, the ape-like, almost invincible giant Typhoeus, with snakes emerging from his body, rises in black, brown and eerie blue tones, with his daughters to his left - the goddesses of fate, the Gorgons. Above the Gorgons in the background lurk grim, masked heads, representing illness, madness and death. To the right, three female figures represent lust, unchastity and gluttony. Further to them, sorrow shows its pitiful form.

Wienerblut

Wienerblut was founded in 2008 in Vienna by Alexander Lauber. Lauber spent much time in antique shops, at flea markets and in the archives of the Hofburg to find and collect information about perfume from Vienna at the time of K.u.K. Reich and also acquired, among other things, old cosmetics sets owned by the Habsburg family. WienerBlut believes that great fragrances are like treasured secrets, giving the most pleasure to those who carry them. The formulas are built to whisper, not to shout. Listen carefully to the stories they tell. They love the complexity of natural raw materials and use them generously. The high amount of natural raw materials causes the fragrances to develop dynamically for hours. This is intended and a quality characteristic. The fragrances do not become "less", they change and become one with the wearer. They believe luxury is a result of seasoned craftsmanship, fine materials and timeless design. The bottles are made especially for us in a small European manufactory. Because of the hand finishing, each bottle will charm you with individual irregularities. The caps are made of ivory bakelite, a material most notably used in the early nineteen hundreds. Because the production is costly and takes time, bakelite has become a rare good. WienerBlut love its smooth, warm touch and organic surface feel.
