Production Filter Papers, Angela Ciampagna Materia and Miracula 2018 Danu Seith-Fyr
Alongside the first fragrance of the Collection, Laetitia, they have threaded the path of life, woven from three strands, two notes presented here of an absolute chord, a scent of the weaving.

Angela Ciampagna, the yearning of Earth for Spirit and the task of Spirit to move in Earth. Materia – Earth bound yet yearning to soar in the unbounded clarity of Spirit, Miracula – the flight of spirit yet in it a longing for Earth.
The Fates Gathering in the Stars Elihu Vedder 1887, Rubiyat of Omar Kahayyam, Private Collection Danu Seith-Fyr
Classical Antiquity resides in these fragrances.The Fates, the Parcae, Nona, Decuma, and Morta, all three weaving the warp and weft of our unique trails. Profoundly mesmerising, lighter than skin, deeper than skin. Placed on flesh they simultaneously, rise above and sink inward. I am intrigued at the progression of Life, mirrored in these Extrait de Parfums.

Angela Ciampagna Miracula: A Drop of Humanity: An effervescent opening of Sicilian Lemon, pure and clean, the scent of emotion, of our humanness. Dewy, watery, etheric Cyclamen, delicate and strong, a silken web spun that appears fragile and vulnerable yet is opposite. Life bound in earthy flesh, vessel for the perfumed Soul, that makes us more than physical matter. A Tuberose of wishful silkiness akin to the touch of youthful flesh, in ecstasy a heart that brings me to tears, akin to a religious experience. It immerses itself into flesh recesses in its searching of reunion. I am immersed further and further into its precious Heart, held gently by the base, velvety Vanilla and Musk Tonkin tends to wonderment at the beauty in the mundane… I am physically moved to tears inhaling this glory. A burgeoning awe of life is woven in its strands. Notes: Sicilian Lemon, Cyclamen, Green Chord, Indian Tuberose Absolute, Ambrette, Amber Chord, French Vanilla Concrete, Musk Tonkin Chord, Tropical Woods Chord.

Angela Ciampagna Materia, To the Earth: In the dying embers of the closing of Life, there is a call to return. “media vita in morte sumus, media morte in vita”. Resinous and sweet in Balsamic’s there is a Calling, like a prayer, trace of essences that invite to stillness. Earthy and cossetting. In this drawing to Earth once again, Cistus is embracing, a gathering of all the threads of a life in a Silence, the sanctity of a Grace, liminality to be surrendered too, the laying down of Life caressed by Sandalwood and Patchouli. Sacred scents that invoke the temples where Death and Life converge in the Immortal. Notes: Balsamic Woody Chord, Moroccan Cistus Absolute, Musk Chord, Metallic Chord, Indian Sandalwood, Malaysian Patchouli.

"Let me sleep, for my Soul is intoxicated with love and Let me rest, for my Spirit has had its bounty of days and nights; Light the candles and burn the incense around my bed, and Scatter leaves of jasmine and roses over my body. Embalm my hair with frankincense and sprinkle my feet with perfume, And read what the hand of Death has written on my forehead."- The Calling, Kahil Gibran.
Synergy is at work. All three in the collection are contained in all the others, a Precious Tripycth of Sacred Proportions.
