The olfactory creations by Wiener Blut are based on original formulas in vogue in late 19th century Vienna. The term Wiener Blut (Viennese Blood) was coined in 1873 to indicate that particular section of a certain Viennese society of the time characterized by hedonism and malice. Freudian Wood, Hesperia, Volkamaria, Sale Marino, Unheimlich, Klubwasser, Nord du Nord, Palais Nizam and Ex Voto are the tesserae of a crackling mosaic which portrays, with a contemporary touch, an era and a city, controversial and volcanic where, to the rhythm of the waltz, a society suspended between nostalgia and avant-garde, danced on the edge of an abyss. Recommended soundtrack: Waltz Darling – Malcolm Mac Laren.
