Behind the Fragrance

Named after the votive candles in front of holy images in large cathedrals, this fragrance has its origins in the church festivities of the monarchy. The Corpus Christi procession, celebrated with great pomp at the Viennese court and also known as the 'God's Court Ball', was not only a magnificent spectacle for the public but the most important festival in the self-understanding of the Habsburgs. Ex Voto creates the image of a cool, empty church on a warm spring day: a quiet veil of incense hovers over the smooth, cold marble floor, a hint of burnt candles and dried flowers lingers in the air. For lovers of Olibanum.

Viennese Blood

Wiener Blut was founded in 2008 in Vienna by Alexander Lauber. Lauber spent a lot of time in antiquarian shops, at flea markets, and in the archives of the Hofburg to uncover information about perfume from Vienna during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and in the process acquired, among other things, old cosmetic sets from the Habsburg family. WienerBlut believes that great fragrances are like closely guarded secrets and bring the greatest joy to those who keep them. The formulas are designed to whisper, not shout. Wienerblut loves the complexity of natural raw materials and uses them abundantly. The high proportion of natural raw materials causes the fragrances to unfold dynamically over the hours. This is intentional and a hallmark of quality. The fragrances do not become "less"; they change and become one with the wearer. The bottles are made according to old glass traditions in a complex, partly manual process, and feature particularly beautifully crafted surfaces and edges. Their charm lies in small irregularities that testify to true craftsmanship. The caps are made of Bakelite, a material that was developed during the time of the monarchy. Its ivory-like and organic surface made Bakelite a popular material at that time and a substitute for ivory and horn or tortoiseshell. Since production is very expensive, Bakelite is now rarely found.
