"Just taste it, it immediately arouses humor throughout the body and has a very healthy aroma" - Pedanius Dioscorides, around 70 BC.
Silphium (probably from the genus Ferula) was a plant that grew in the area of Cyrene, present-day Libya, and was widely known as a spice, medicinal herb, and ingredient in perfumes in ancient empires.
It was praised by Greek philosophers and writers, as well as Roman emperors and cookbook authors.
Many attempts were made to cultivate Silphium, but they always ended in failure. The plant only grew wild in a limited area on the northern coast of Africa. This, combined with its spice and medicinal properties, made Silphium the most valuable spice in the world, overshadowing both saffron and cinnamon. The demand for Silphium became so great that the plant was destroyed, and the taste and smell of what was once the most magnificent spice in the world were lost forever.
The interpretation of this historic plant was created through research on its presumed relatives, and using aromachemicals (molecular scent molecules) a chord was created that, according to the creators, represents how its scent was described in sources. The brand's creators placed it against the background of ancient incense, wood, and leather.
