Halkos Botanicals Discovery Set
Introducing
Halkos Botanicals
The story of Halkos Botanicals begins in ancient times, when Cyprus lent its name to its coveted exports, including the κυπάρισσος (kypárissos), or Mediterranean Cyprus tree; the Greek name for the Henna tree, kýpros (Lawsonia alba); and its name given by Classical Latin, Cuprum, from the Sumerian zubar & kubar, meaning copper & bronze respectively, of which large deposits are found on the island.
In modern Greek, Χαλκός (Halkos) means 'copper', both a reference to the history of the island and to the fact that the best stills for extracting plant essences for perfume are made of copper.
For Halkos Botanicals, scent is a way of understanding her surroundings & communicating her personal experience to others. Being able to identify and use the aromas of Cyprus is like speaking a silent & mysterious language that can be understood by everyone, even if they have never visited her home.
