A dark, spicy warmth reveals the presence of the great monster – Typhon, or Typhoeus, once ruled over 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 central panel of the painting, which depicts the "hostile forces" through Typhon and his daughters. Therion, Greek for "wild beast" or "monster", is a captivating scent that combines a unique blend of notes to create a truly hypnotic experience, as if one were staring at a work by Gustav Klimt. The refreshing and citrusy scent of bergamot immediately draws attention. The addition of bay leaf and black pepper gives the composition a subtle spiciness, while carrot seeds bring earthy notes. As it develops, the delicate scent of blue chamomile and the smoky essence of cade unite to create a harmonious balance. Violet adds a floral note to the fragrance, while sandalwood and amber form a warm and grounding base. Cypriol and musk add depth and complexity to the fragrance, leaving a seductive trail that captivates the senses. Therion is, like Klimt's masterpiece, a work of art in itself. Its intricate blend of notes evokes a sense of mystery and elegance, making it the perfect choice for anyone seeking a fragrance that is both unique and enchanting as well as calming and grounding.

The second page of this story is told through Elysion – a bright, green fragrance, full of pure joy and love.

Hinter dem Duft

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. For 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 the center, symbolizing the hostile forces, rises the ape-like, almost invincible giant Typhoeus in shades of black, brown, and eerie blue, from whose body snakes emerge, with his daughters to the left of him – the Fates, the Gorgons. Above the Gorgons in the background lurk grim, masked heads representing disease, madness, and death. To the right stand three female figures representing lust, unchastity, and gluttony. Next to them, sorrow shows its miserable form.

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.
