In principio V2

Oh, and Spring would understand – not a nook would 
fail to re-echo annunciation. Re-echoing first the tiny questioning pipe 
a purely affirmative day quietly invests all round with magnifying stillness.

O und der Frühling begriffe –, da ist keine Stelle,
die nicht trüge den Ton der Verkündigung. Erst jenen
Kleinen fragenden Auflaut, den, mit steigernder Stille,
weithin umschweigt ein reiner bejahender Tag.

The Seventh Duino Elegy, Rainer Maria Rilke

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. Here in a powerful absolute obtained through the enfleurage of several hundred flowers, gathered at full maturity. An iconic flower, domesticated yet dense with meaning. Pure white, with striking yellow anthers, it continues to enchant us with its powerful, waxy scent, at times almost fruity. A shameless and sensual apotheosis. Ylang Ylang

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.

Mace

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. Here as an essential oil, cold-pressed from ripe fruit. The Chinese mandarin, traditionally given in even numbers as a symbol of good luck. Sweet on the outside, tart within, crisp, with a multifaceted, intense and unmistakable scent. Abundance held inside a tiny fruit, like a womb.
