The Madonna, her face filled with unease, and the Archangel Gabriel, the divine messenger, holding a lily as white as snow. A sense of mystery and awe envelops the scene—these are the defining features of an Annunciation painting.

One wonders, what scent might have filled the air at that moment?
In Principio.

Lilium Lilium candidum L. collected between May and early July. In Italy, it is known as St. Anthony's lily, with petals that reflex backward and a light yellow center. Here, it is presented in absolute form, obtained through enfleurage in mango butter.
The lily is cold and its fragrance gladdens the heart. Ilang Ilang

Cananga odorata. A tropical tree of the Annonaceae family, producing large, star-shaped flowers with long, curled petals in a yellow-green colour. Here, it is presented in absolute form and as an extra essential oil.

 Macis

Produced by the evergreen tree Myristica Fragrans, it is the aril of the nutmeg. Here, it is dried and tinctured with pure 96-proof food grade alcohol, then maked it absolute.
It instills courage and mental clarity, necessary to say yes and accept the message of the Angel.

 Kumquat

Nagami kumquats, collected from January to March, extracted using the Solvent-Free Targeted Micro-fracturing Extraction (SFME) technique to obtain an essential oil that preserves the complexity and crunchiness of the well-ripened fruit.
