Aqua Mirabillis
Aqua Mirabillis Collection of fragrant eaux is inspired by the Medieval "Miracle Waters"- the first alcohol-based perfumes in Europe. Citrus peels, along with astringent herbs, were tinctured into "Aqua Vitae" ("Water of Life" meaning Alcohol) and were used both internally as medicine, and externally as disinfectant, for relieving sore muscles or simply as a substitute for bathing. Inspired by these antique practice and the abundance of healing plants in the Mediterranean wilderness surrounding the new studio in Clil, the Aqua Mirabillis Collection was born. These are perfumes for external use only, featuring ingredients rarely found in perfumery, which Ayala Moriel grows, harvests, forages and tinctures all by hand in the traditional old ways. Ingredients such as mastica, varthemia, vitex, wild oregano, sage, mint and more find their way into these fine fragrances that create a sense of well-being and connection to the Earth.

Aqua Pistachia

Visit product page →Cleansing and purifying waters, inspired by Aqua Mirabillis formulations from the time before perfumery separated from medicine, and the pharmacy was fragrant and redolent of healing herbs. Mastic resin is the original chewing gum, and is used to flavour Middle Eastern ice creams and desserts; the leaves also are beneficial for oral hygiene but also prevent ulcers and have myriad of health benefits and medicinal uses, including uterine health. But most of all they are the most refreshing fragrance around. They smell forest-like without having a single pine needle in them. And what I tried to recreate with this scent is the icy, brisk scent of hail on a cold winter morning in the Galilee. There are no words to describe the smell of the mastic bushes when they clash with these icy forms of precipitation. So I will let Aqua Pistachia speak for itself.

May Meron
Sold out
Visit product page →Mt Meron is a holy mountain in the Western Galilee, the second highest peak in all of Israel. Oak forests and regal Cedars of Lebanon grace its evergreen slopes, and its peak is usually shrouded in clouds, fog and mystery. It is home to unique vegetation, some plants that are found nowhere else in the country, which grow on a bed of quartz crystals, nonetheless.
May Meron are cleansing and purifying waters, made in the tradition of Aqua Mirabillis - the miracle waters of Medieval Europe, in the early days after the discover of alcohol distillation. This fragrance is inspired by an autumn pilgrimage to Mt. Meron, which is abundant with wild medicinal herbs, Medronho berries, and saffron crocuses. These healing waters were born out of a collaboration with Jullius Craft Distillery and are the perfume interpretation of the magical and healing Jullius Bitters, which are redolent of wild herbs such as white mint (Micromeria fruticosa), sage, myrtle and mastic.Apply these Mt. Meron Waters just as you would any perfume, as well as in rituals for their protective, grounding, warming qualities, or for purification at the beginning or end of a healing ceremony.
