DID YOU KNOW: The fragrance of the lilac tree was considered in Celtic culture as “magickal”. In the past, it has been believed to carry humans into the fairylands and other worlds. Lilacs have been around for centuries and their scent is so alluring and beautiful that many cultures have folk stories, and beliefs surrounding them. 

We started this over a year ago, almost a year and a half already. We set out to bring you the best-smelling Lilac perfume. In order to do that we had to test historical recipes. I learned a lot from these experiments- most notably - historical lilac perfumes are all over the board. I went into this project thinking that most lilac perfumes would smell like lilac, but that isn't the case. While you do get a hit in lilac here and there from these historical samples, they were not equal at all and the ingredients were all over the board. Our main goal was to find an original recipe and then convert it to an oil perfume. 

So what did we come up with?
We tried a variety of recipes from the 19th- 20th centuries and decided on a recipe from 1911. So let me give you a quick history of synthetic Lilac oil. Synthetic Lilac oil first came on the scene in the late 19th century. Today, many turn their nose up at the idea of synthetic oils, but if you look at it from a historical perspective, in the lilac notes, it was a dream come true. Perfumers and apothecaries were thrilled and changed their formulas to include this lovely new oil. Articles were written regarding how the new synthetic lilac oil is not a replacement for the real scent of lilacs, because it is one-dimensional and didn't capture the true notes of what a lilac was comprised of- so instructions were given to create perfumes as they had been, but use this new fragrance oil to top it off. We tried both types- older recipes that attempted to capture a true lilac scent without any added synthetic oil and recipes that used a small amount of the synthetic oil to enhance the notes they built, giving a very complex, longer-lasting, and well-rounded aroma that is closer to the true lilac smell that we are all accustomed to. We think you will love what we came up with. 

The smell of Lilacs can:
1. Relieve Anxieties
2. Boost your Mood

Historically the lilac flowers/leaves were used for: 
1. Intestinal parasites
2. It also helps the function of the digestive system
3. Promoting oral health
4. Effective in reducing fever.
5. The leaves are astringent and were used as a face wash
6. An infusion was taken internally known as a vermifuge ( De-Wormer)

Greek Mythology:
The story of lilac, according to Greek mythology, begins with a beautiful nymph named Syringa (lilac's botanical name). Captivated by her beauty, Pan, the god of the forests and fields, chased Syringa through the forest. Frightened by Pan's affections, Syringa escaped him by turning herself into an aromatic bush – the flower we now refer to as lilac.
