Titania and Oberon Perfumes



Why should Titania cross her Oberon?

A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act II, Scene I

These days when we think of fairies, we think of child-like figures with minor magical powers. Tinkerbell, from Peter Pan, is a good example. It wasn’t always that way; in ages past, the fae were powerful, magical nature spirits. Oberon and Titania, as their King and Queen, were their royalty.

Oberon is most recognized from William Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He appears in earlier French and German legends, dating back to at least the mid-13th century. He is handsome and proud, with a sly and earthy sense of humor, and a passionate lover with both a jealous nature and a wandering eye.

As lord of a sacred grove, his fragrance blend is woody and earthy, with citrus and ginger notes befitting a fiery temper. In deference to his love for his wife, Oberon’s soap contains raw honey.

Oberon’s blend of essential oils:

Five-fold orange, vetiver, amyris, ylang-ylang, desert amber resin, sandalwood, fresh ginger, five-fold lemon.

Titania is most recognized from William Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Although the Queen of the Fairies is traditionally nameless, Shakespeare named her from Ovid’s Metomorphoses, after the daughters of the Titans. She is a woman of unearthly beauty, with pride and power to equal that of her husband. She loves flowers and growing things, and sleeps in a bower of lush, tangled greenery.

Her perfume contains sweet and fruity notes, with green and herbal tones befitting her love of nature. Her soap has been made with a generous helping of raw silk.

Titania’s blend of essential and fragrance oils:

Apricot, sugary vanilla, papaya, jackfruit, green herbal, light floral, five-fold lemon essential oil, white thyme essential oil (linalool), clary sage essential oil.
