Alchimie

The central characteristic of Alchimie is wood, spice, subtle herb, balsamic warmth, all rounded with notes of Vanilla and a hint of rose.

The top note blends citrus, spice and Cabreuva, making it warm, slightly peppery with a hint of soft wood.

The top note gives way to a heart note of soft floral notes and subtle and complex spice and narcotic notes, blending seamlessly into base notes of complex wood, balsam, Labdanum, Oakmoss and Vanilla.

Alchemist Heating a Pot, by David Teniers the Younger (1610 - 1690), oil on canvas

Alchimie is the French spelling of Alchemy. Alchimie is an ancient branch of natural philosophy, a philosophical and proto-scientific tradition that was historically practiced in China, India, the Muslim world, and Europe. In could be argued that the tradition is the forerunner of modern chemistry.

The popular story [myth] of the Alchemist is of a person trying to change base metals such as Lead into noble metals, particularly Gold. On a more esoteric level it the transformation of the ego nature into a high vibration.

This process was essentially the perfection and integration of the human body and soul was thought to result from the alchemical magnum opus or "Great Work".

On a more applicable level, it [Alchimie] is the blending many plant oils together to create a smell that is hand to discern from it's constituent parts. In other words a transmutation of the elements into something new and unknown before its creation.
