Gueldres is inspired by Ravenscraig castle on the Fife coast. In the 15th century the Dutch queen consort of James II of Scotland, Mary of Guelders, had the castle built after the death of her husband in 1460.
James had ordered the building of the castle for his queen to keep her safe, it being the first of it’s kind to resist canon fire.
As children we lived and played near the castle. The atmosphere of the walls in ruins, the cold spray from the River Forth crashing against the rocks below enthralled us and fed our imaginations.
The reality: cold, wet stone. The damp carbon-y sand. The clean grass amongst the destructured rooms of the castle.
The fantasy: The huge fires burning with logs pulled down from the surrounding wood. The dusty tapestries hanging in the living areas of the King and Queen. The heavy brocade and velvets of the cumbersome attire of the rich of that era.
A story evolves.
GUELDRES Ingredients:
KARO KAROUNDE
TREE MOSS
MIMOSA
Aromatherapy Footnotes:
KARO KAROUNDE is not used in aromatherapy but it is found to be one of the most sensual of flower oils and is extremely rare.
The calming and grounding properties of TREE MOSS combines beautifully with the sensuality of KARO KAROUNDE to reduce stress, whilst MIMOSA lifts the spirits, potentially and can reduce the impact of worries and fears.
