This limited-edition packaging is inspired by antique perfume containers with a pearlescent finish. Unfortunately, it has sustained some minor damage during production. The item you receive may therefore have scratches and marks on the surface. This, of course, has no impact on the contents.
ANTIQUE is a grounding, sensorial body oil, created as an aromatherapeutic tribute to Classical Antiquity, when resins, woody notes and oils were part of bathing culture, perfumery and rituals.
A unisex fragrance of Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Frankincense and Vetiver evokes the sensation of warm earth and marble heated by the sun – a deep, resinous and ritualistic scent that has a calming effect on the senses.
Nourishing Grapeseed and Rosehip oils leave the skin soft, supple and subtly scented.

Inspired by the scents and ingredients of Classical Antiquity
In Classical Antiquity, aromatic plant materials were steeped in oils made from, among other things, unripe grapes and olives to extract their aromas, while resins from coniferous trees such as cedarwood could be used to preserve and fix the fragrance. ANTIQUE draws on this tradition with Grapeseed, Olive and Rosehip oils alongside the authentic natural aromas of Frankincense and Cedarwood – fragrant ingredients with roots in ancient perfumery, bathing culture and rituals. ANTIQUE body oil is a modern interpretation of the ancient interplay between plant oils, fragrance and body care.
The design
The design is inspired by ancient glass flacons used for perfumes and oils. Their distinctive pearlescent iridescence inspired the surface of the packaging – a contemporary interpretation rooted in Classical Antiquity.

Even if you do not use aromatherapeutic skincare or home products, nature makes sure that aromatherapy is still all around us. Trees and plants release invisible plant compounds, phytoncides, which research links to lower stress levels and increased activity in the body’s natural defence cells. This is a beautiful story about forest bathing, nature’s aromatherapy and scientific documentation.
