Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
Silphium (probably of the genus Ferula) was a plant that grew in the area of Cyrene, present day Libya, and was widely renowned as a spice, medicinal herb and perfume ingredient throughout the empires of the classical antiquity. It was praised by Greek philosophers and writers, as well as Roman emperors and cookbook authors.
There were many attempts to cultivate Silphium, but they inevitably failed. It would only grow wild in a limited area of the north African coast. This, in combination with its qualities as seasoning and medicine made Silphium the most valuable spice in the world, outshining both saffron and cinnamon. The demand for Silphium eventually became so overwhelming that it was harvested to extinction, and the taste and smell of the once greatest spice in the world were lost in time.
Our rendition of this historical plant is created by researching surviving assumed relatives of Silphium, using aromachemicals (the molecular building blocks of scents) to create an accord that we feel represents what descriptions remains. This is set against a background of ancient incense, woods and leather.

Top Notes: A hypothetical reconstruction of the Silphium accord, likely featuring herbaceous and slightly spicy notes, potentially reminiscent of asafoetida, galbanum, or other related species. This accord aims to capture the described "healthy aroma" mentioned in historical texts.
Heart Notes: The central personality of the fragrance unfolds with a blend of ancient incense materials. This could include notes of frankincense, myrrh, and opoponax, adding a warm, resinous, and slightly balsamic dimension to the Silphium accord.
Base Notes: The long-lasting foundation of the fragrance is composed of woods and leather. These notes provide depth, richness, and a touch of smokiness. The specific woods used are not specified, but could include cedarwood, sandalwood, or oud, while the leather accord likely adds a warm, animalic touch. This combination creates a lingering, evocative base that complements the unique Silphium reconstruction.
