Vikings were Scandinavian seafarers from modern-day Denmark, Norway and Sweden who raided, traded and settled across Europe, Asia and North America from the late 8th to 11th centuries. Viking-themed perfumes often evoke the North through rugged, woody and aquatic notes like juniper, pine and sea salt, aiming to capture the spirit of exploration and the raw landscapes of Scandinavia.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- Arcana Wildcraft Filthy Viking Perfume Oil - Between the sea voyages and the pillaging, it must have been difficult for Odin's henchmen to stay fresh. Too bad they didn't have this ferocious blend of scents from the Viking world: bracing Norwegian juniper, frigid Icelandic mint and the hardy wood of a longship.
- Firebird Viking Perfume Oil - A sexy, masculine blend that's alternately spicy and warm and fresh and cool. Inspired by icy waters and snowy Scandinavian shores, bonfires of birchwood on jagged cliffs and the smell of the ocean in winter.
- LunarLife Apothecary Odin Perfume Oil – A gorgeous blend of frankincense, sandalwood, amyris, labdanum, bergamot, synthetic musk and ISO E-Super.
- Poesie Northmen Perfume Oil - Thor, the warrior god, revered as the guardian of mankind, was the most popular of the gods and especially revered by seafarers. Many Vikings wore small hammer-shaped amulets to invoke his protection, for Thor's hammer Mjolnir was invincible and could bring down the mountains. We can just imagine the scents that surrounded them on their journeys - the turbulent seas, ships built of richly carved oak sealed with birch tar, their protective leather gear and the permeating scent of the woodfire used for cooking. And under it all, the tang of battle and perilous adventures. With notes of weathered leather, turbulent seawater, woodsmoke, birch tar and blood.
- Sif Sniffs Helvegr Perfume Oil - Helvegr, or Road to Hel, is inspired by a Viking funeral and modern funeral rites. It features a top note of freshly cut roses, a heart of dirt and a base of fresh cut wood and campfire.
