From the open doors of the orangery, bright notes of green and golden citrus fruits penetrate the fresh morning air of the castle gardens. An orangery full of rare citrus varieties. The morning castle park.

Behind the Fragrance

The collection and cultivation of exotic citrus plants in light-filled and heated conservatories was an absolute luxury until the 19th century, reserved only for the wealthiest nobles. Even in the orangery of the Habsburgs – from the Boboli Garden of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence to the Schönbrunn Imperial Residence – rare and valuable "Hesperides" were kept. Hesperia is a revived fragrance from the turn of the century, and at the same time, a sensory journey through the morning castle park, where a hint of mandarins, orange blossoms, and box leaves floats in the cool air. One of the Top 10 of the New York Times. One of the New York Times Top 10.

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.
