They live beneath the roots of Yggdrasill, the tree of destiny. Every day they water the roots from the Well of Urðr and carve into them the fate of each person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula follows the main rules of classic perfumery. It opens with bergamot, mandarin, mango and orange, then moves into rich, intense notes of black peppercorns, cinnamon, clove buds, geranium and water lily. Liquorice and oriental spices come last, along with a few ingredients the makers keep secret. The scent in the room changes over time, and one fresh spray takes you back through it again, from the first note to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipe is based on old customs and on the belief that every plant and scent has its own magical purpose. It works like a witch's recipe, where each ingredient has both an aromatherapy role and a magical one. The notes support one another and sit together in a balanced fragrance pyramid. This is what tradition and aromatherapy attribute to each of them:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBergamot:\u003c\/strong\u003e considered one of the most effective essential oils against unwanted spiritual and psychological states.

Clove bud oil helps you get over bad experiences, nervousness, doubts and fears, supports personal growth and helps balance the emotions after trauma, surgery or illness. It is also thought to attract prophetic dreams and to protect, which may matter to people interested in dreams and other subtle signals. It eases deep-rooted tension and the trembling and mental strain that come with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeranium:\u003c\/strong\u003e lowers stress and brings back pleasant memories.
