Eau de Parfum with spicy notes of Red Cedar, Aldehydes, Cypress Root, Black Pine, Cascarilla Bark, Frankincense and Birch Tar.

Description

Based on the rituals of the proto-Mississippian death cult of the 1200s. Native birch tar, viola and white spruce grounded in incense and cypress root.

“Nothing gets me going more than the concept that seemingly mundane places–a cave, a space under a bush, a tiny lake, are gateways to the other world. Ancient peoples' understanding of the world integrated landscape, flora, and fauna into their whole being. Mississippi Medicine is rich in cedar. Dry red Virginia cedar. Healthy doses of incense help marry the wood to the pine. Incense has been used in rituals since the dawn of time, which means we connect it to religious feeling in the depth of our bones.”– D.S., Perfumer & Founder.

Top notes: Red Cedar, Aldehydes, Frankincense Distillate

Heart notes: Cypress Root, Black Pine, Cascarilla Bark

Base notes: Incense, Spanish Cade, Birch Tar

Benefits

- Mississippi Medicine is based on what little is known about the rituals of a fast growing death cult that emerged in the southern part of the US in the 1200s. Called the South Eastern Ceremonial Complex, it is more of a period within the Mississippian culture (the mound builders) when a specific system of religion quickly emerged. Other names for it were The Buzzard Cult and simply The Southern Death Cult (badass).

- The sacred cedar tree represented an axis mundi (a gateway between the lower and upper worlds).

- D.S. has the choicest materials and can only be produced in small batches.

Usage

- Apply fragrance directly to skin.

- Focus on pulse points.

- Resist rubbing.

- Don't overdo it.
