Savant Apothecary

It’s almost tools down for us. Time to hang with the family. Possibly play Catan tonight and watch some huge ships come into port at the harbour for sunset. Hope you enjoy your weekend everyone.

Not your usual Body Lotion. Rich, fluid and softening. But after the biological work is done we concentrate on the scent and as you well know our scents are……..unforgettable. Body Lotion Fluide is no exception.

Labdanum……the dark and mysterious scent of the natural word. Warm, resinous and ambery the scent brings with it ancient history and glimpses of old old ceremony. Still, after all this passing of time the scent of Labdanum involuntarily brings people together. It’s so beautiful, rich and different that people want time and to breathe it in again, think quietly while the scent rolls through their mind and then they want to talk about it. Labdanum is a valued base note for us that gives depth and richness and it is found particularly in our Body Lotion Fluide which we made yesterday when I took this shot. Labdanum comes to us from Andalusia in Spain growing in dry rocky ground that supports few other species and yet this environment produces a scent so timelessly beautiful. It is a very viscous resin type substance. Quite testing to work with but over the years we’ve learnt to live with it well.
