Rich amber notes with a spiced background, Silphium was a plant that grew in the area of Cyrene, present day Libya, once the worlds most valuable spice. Used as a medicinal herb and perfume ingredient throughout the empires of the classical antiquity, it was praised by Greek philosophers and writers, as well as Roman emperors and cookbook authors.

There were many attempts to cultivate Silphium, but they inevitably failed. It would only grow wild in a limited area of the north African coast. The demand for Silphium eventually became so overwhelming that it was harvested to extinction, and the taste and smell of the once greatest spice in the world were lost in time. This rendition of the historical plant is created by researching surviving assumed relatives of Silphium, to create an accord that represents what descriptions remain. This is set against a background of ancient incense, woods and leather.
