A handmade perfumed home spray dedicated to Dellingr, the Norse god of dawn. It comes with a short meditation and affirmation ritual, and the makers believe that the scent together with the ritual may help you:
- feel more energetic and cheerful;
- energise and stimulate the nervous system;
- clear the mind and thoughts;
- gain physical and spiritual strength.
In Norse myth Dellingr is dawn in human form. With Nótt, the goddess of night, he had a son called Dagr. His parents gave Dagr two horses whose shining manes light up the whole earth, and two war chariots set high in the sky, so he could ride across the sky dome all day and all night.
The formula follows the main rules of perfumery. The top notes are mint and helichrysum, then come rich, intense coriander seeds, and the base is agarwood, coffee, frankincense and sandalwood, plus a few ingredients the makers keep to themselves. The scent changes in the room over time, and one more fresh spray lets you go through it again from the first note to the last.
The recipe draws on old customs and the belief that every plant and scent has its own magical purpose, a bit like a witch's recipe. Each note was chosen for its aromatherapy and magical role, and the notes support one another to build a balanced fragrance pyramid.
Mint: said to reduce nervous anxiety, restore strength and relieve spasms of the blood vessels in the head. Traditionally used against dizziness, headache, apathy, migraine, nervous stress and toothache, it also cleans the air and freshens the breath. Spearmint is believed to have a good effect on a person's biological energy, helping people understand each other and easing nervous tension. Its smell stimulates body and soul, sharpens concentration, freshens and lifts the mood.
Helichrysum: burned in many rituals and in traditional African medicine, and used to purify the air in homes. Its scent is said to ease nervous problems and pain, and helichrysum tea is drunk for coughs and colds. The Greeks called it the "gold of the Sun" because the plant gathers the Sun's energy. It is believed to build confidence, help you let go of old grievances and misfortunes and take a firmer hold on life.
Coriander seeds: the name comes from Greek words for "anise" and "bedbug", because fresh coriander smells a little like bedbugs. The seeds are different: their scent is pleasant, floral and lemony. It is said to energise, chase away fears, push you to act and boost self-confidence and creativity.
Agarwood: used in incense and perfume since ancient times and mentioned in many old texts, including the Sanskrit Vedas, the Old Testament and Islamic scriptures. Aquilaria trees are also called god-trees. Agarwood was thought strong enough to cleanse the soul and drive away evil spirits. Traditional Chinese medicine uses it to release spasms and sees it as warming, balancing, transforming and clearing the mind, helping a person reach their goals.
Coffee: good mood and energy. The smell of coffee is widely known to lift the mood, inspire new challenges and help with decisions. It is the scent of creativity, adventure and an active life.
Frankincense: named after the French word "franc" (meaning fine, of high quality). It has long been used to make incense, and frankincense (Boswellia) was one of the gifts the Three Kings brought to the baby Jesus. In Ancient Greece the resin was burned on altars and in temples because it slows and deepens the breath, which helps people calm down and sink into prayer and meditation. Its calming, soothing smell is still used in meditation today.
Sandalwood: a harmonising, calming scent that helps reduce stress and inner turmoil. It is said to lift the mood of people dealing with depression, fears and everyday problems, and to help with nervous breakdown or anxiety. In Eastern cultures the smell is believed to attract deities, so sandalwood incense is burned during meditation, and the wood is used to build temples and statues of gods and prophets.
