Mystikum - Moonlight Ceromony
It's the middle of the night. We hiked far through the dark depths of ancient forests. Through the thick branches of gnarled trees we see a flickering light in the distance. We approach a moonlit forest clearing - where we witness a nightly fire ritual.
The flames of a crackling campfire illuminate the scene. A goblet dangles over the fire in which tea leaves and birch tar, resin and guaiac wood are boiling. Mystical clouds of smoke rise up and fly towards the night sky together with golden sparks of fire. Meanwhile, shamans beat their drums tirelessly while archaically dressed people dance in ecstasy. Together they summon the spirits of a full moon night...
The fragrance
With Moonlight Ceremony, perfumer Alexandre Illan has brewed a mysterious, woody, dark, leathery and smoky, resinous distillate. From the embers and ashes of a nighttime fire ceremony, the spirits of labdanum and saffron awaken, surrounded by the resinous whispers of opoponax and olibanum. Notes of smoky black tea and guaiac wood join the mystical dance. The unmistakable scent of birch tar gives the perfume a smoky depth - while the earthy heartbeat of patchouli join forces with sacred sandalwood.
Rarely before have the boundaries between perfume and olfactory necromancy been as fluid as with Moonlight Ceremony!
The bottle
The flacons of the Mystikum collection are unmistakably inspired by the bottle design of the original Mystikum perfume launched in 1910, which was a collaboration between designers Erich Blankenburg, Fritz Helmuth Ehmcke and Willy Schwerdtner. What is characteristic is the stele-like cap, reminiscent of a towering monolith, which also crowned the historic Mystikum perfume.
With their elegant Art Deco lines and shades inspired by various gemstones, the Mystikum bottles reflect the elegance and nobility of a bygone era - and revive their unique magic.
