    The story behind Reminiscence

    Written by Amiek Krakers, founder & owner of The House of Opulence – As a little girl I loved being around my grandmother. She definitely was one of the most elegant women I know, always very stylish and very much ahead of her time. Sitting on her bed, I would watch her dressing herself and putting on her make-up and delicate perfume. None of it too much, always with subtleness. One of my favourites was her beautiful leather purse. I loved going through it, playing with her lipstick; the little perfume bottle; looking at some family pictures that were inside and from time to time steal a little mint. I vividly remember the scent of her purse, a blend of raw leather, perfume, a hint of vanilla and freshness of something minty.

    Myrrh

    Like Frankincense, Myrrh oil is extracted from resin that oozes from very tough bark of the small, thorny Myrrh tree which is native to some African and Middle Eastern countries . It has a sharp, strong, woody scent and has been used throughout history as a perfume, incense and medicine. Ancient Greek soldiers used to carry Myrrh oil into battle for psychic protection, as well as first aid. Aromatic influences: spiritual awareness, uplifting, soothing, releasing, opening.
