Scent notes: Dewy waterlily, mud, vegetation, natural lakes, ancient forests, magick The Nokken takes you to the watery home of the mythical Nokken; a creature that lives under the water of a lake, in sprawling Norwegian forests. Nature and myth work hand in hand in this profile, bringing to life a folklore tale of an underwater troll, which drags it's selected victims into the lake, to keep them there forever. Nokken have been known to appear as handsome young men, and they are also proficient with musical instruments, which they use to lure people to the edge of their lake. Waterlily provides the link between the real world to the ethereal world - quickly pulling out the stem of a waterlily will sever the connection between the two worlds, forcing the nokken to retreat. In essence, tales of nokken were used as cautionary tales, about the dangers of playing in bodies of water. This scent profile was created after a trip to Tromso in Norway. Whilst there, we visited the legendary Troll Museum, which is where we learnt of the nokken. Reading the display about them was enough to trigger a spark. As soon as we got back, The Nokken entered it's development stage.
