HOLUS-BOLUS
ALL AT ONCE
No.85 Bacchanalia (Dionysia)
Top notes of absinthe set the mood for this salon of art and design in fragrance form.
Imagine an unctuous, herbaceous feast doused in the seductive scent of a well spent long evening. A nod to the golden age of the Paris Salon where you might overhear Claude Cahun admonishing Gertrude Stein for paying too much attention to Picasso.
Made as a limited edition scent activation for VIP offsite exhibition Hōlus-Bōlus at The Second as a part of Sydney Contemporary curated by Cassandra Bird & Emma Elizabeth.
ETERNAL SPRING
Make it season of the
rose all year round
No.21 Rosa Gallica (French Rose)
The oldest variety of hybrid rose in the world, Rosa Gallica’s sweet & bold aroma is captured here with full bright petals & a savoury finish.A decadent combination of masculine & feminine appeal, this is a perfume of sensuality & delight that’s truly modern. Not your grandmother’s rose.
ORIGIN STORY
Come down for air
No.27 Lutruwita (Tasmania)
Experience an aroma of pristine cool climate rainforest with scents at once familiar and yet entirely unique. The distinctive endemic species of Tasmania’s myrtle beech, sassafras and leatherwood beneath a canopy of towering King Billy, celery top & Huon Pines are captured in this candle.
MUCH ADO ABOUT MULBERRY
Here we go around the mulberry bush
No.33 Morus Alba (White Mulberry Leaf)
The mother plant of the world's most revered fabric, silk, also bears unctuously fragrant leaves which we have distilled and captured in essence for your burning pleasure. When paired with the natural fragrance of our beeswax blend, this aroma is early summer daydreams and youth-sprung nostalgia, giving sun kissed optimism and scintillating possibilities.

Our delicate Spring fragrances are made using a traditional method close to the ancient art of enfleurage: fragile flowers are pressed into balms at the peak of their ripeness and warmed to gently extract their pure essences without bruising the petals. These form a pomade that is then processed into the oils used for making World’s End Obscura’s signature fragrances.

Wood based aromas such as sandalwood and cedars are extracted using ancient steam distillation methods. For thousands of years the heart of woods has been used for ceremonial and medicinal purposes through natural alchemies.

Foliage based fragrances are formulated using distillation methods. Leaves are collected and slightly crushed before being placed in a bath of ambient water and brought to boil. Oils rise to the surface and form a pure liquid thich is then funnelled into the form we use to add them to our candles.
“We light a scented candle to imbue a space with a sense of beauty. The illumination of the wick is an act of self love and nurture, your desire to create mindful space transforms.”
