Aromatic Heritage & Lore
Historically infused into German muscatel wine, English beer, and Italian vermouth, Clary Sage was prized for its heady, sensuous aroma and mood-lifting qualities. Its use as a perfume fixative and skincare ally dates back centuries.
Susanne Fischer-Rizzi likens Clary Sage to the opal stone—radiant, puzzling, and powerful—capable of regenerating energy while inspiring both wisdom and playful risk.
