These mythical creatures pick juniper berries and wild hazelnuts. Then in dark caves an intoxicating alcohol is distilled from barley. They season it with saffron, perfume it with ambrette and flavor it with lavender. At Midsummer they all drink this elixir together from leather bottles to animate the body and soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Korrigans, small mythical beings who haunt the heaths and moors of Brittany, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, are known from the myths and legends of Celtic civilization. With no form of writing these legendary tales have been handed down since time immemorial, thanks to the wisdom, memory and eloquence of the bards. The Korrigans are not very pretty and sometimes they are full of mischief. But they know the recipe for the libation offered at the Beltane and Samhain celebrations that mark the changing seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally such festivals are a great opportunity in these more austere regions to brew strong potions. Whisky is one of them in the form of an aromatic sweet cream counterbalanced and crowned by oud that recalls tenebrous caverns, where dark secrets are hidden. The perfume \"Korrigan\" accompanies therefore a Dionysian rite. The rush and excitement befuddles the senses and deeper instincts are released. It is a fragrance of sensual pleasures and feasting, a fragrance of the skin of creatures that we want to enjoy without inhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Fragrance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Lubin perfumer Thomas Fontaine initially imagined a tree called the \"Caramel Wood.\" Its sap is sweet like English toffee but also sour accents of wild apples, juniper berries and saffron are included, which become part of the mystery. He wanted a leathery but beautiful note, and this fragrance is creamy like a whiskey cream liqueur, but also smoky, aromatic and slightly bitter, like an excellent pure malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKorrigan is less innocent than one might at first think. This caramel wood is not a fragrance in infancy but an intimate perfume, deceptive, musky and irresistible on the skin of anyone you desire. It is the fragrance of liberated senses that one shares and keeps for intimate moments, when sweet words and caresses follow and bodies become closer. Korrigan is an invitation to revel in voluptuousness and to fulfill your most extravagant desires.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lubin","offers":[{"title":"100 ML","offer_id":50939538473306,"sku":"20044100","price":198.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Abfüllung","offer_id":51353511100762,"sku":"200LUB-KOR-A","price":7.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/4673\/0586\/files\/korrigan.jpg?v=1744109392"},{"product_id":"lubin-grisette","title":"Lubin - Grisette","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrisette by Lubin is the very essence of freedom and the desire to live life to the full with a natural, fresh vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamiliar figures in the streets of 19th century Paris, “Grisettes” were the youthful, fresh‑faced girls who worked in the capital’s sewing workshops.
