From Aedes de Venustas, the Cellarius candle: "Perfumer Olivia Giacobetti created the scent of an old-world astronomical observatory inspired by Andreas Cellarius, a Dutch–German cartographer and cosmographer best known for his Harmonia Macrocosmica, a major star atlas from the year 1660." With spices, papyrus, rosewood and cedar, $79.50 at Aedes.
Oooh!
Yeah that’s pretty much what I said 🙂
LOL! Happy Monday!
Oh, my goodness, some of these candles sound other-worldly!!
Yumm!
Honestly I think I would take any of them.
That sounds excellent – papyrus and rosewood notes in perfumes always appeal to me.
Please, no enabling 😱😇
I love the idea, but the historian in me can’t let this go: Papyrus?! In Cellarius’ period we’re not even talking about parchment any longer, we’re talking paper. He might have had some parchment manuscript sources, but papyrus seems unlikely.
They might have been sourcing the type of reeds or whatever that papyrus was/is made from?
Papyrus refers to both a plant and the writing material that is made from it.
Yes. So could they be getting the characteristic scent from the plant, or do they process the finished part for the scent, I wonder. No biggie, I could look it up, I suppose…
I want this to be a perfume!
