BERSERKER (Label Artwork) 🔥[SCENT]🔥 Fir Needle, Charred Cedarwood, Warm Sandalwood, subtle notes of Spice and Musk 💡[INSPIRATION]💡 Inspired by the 'berserkir', Norse warriors who channeled the strength and fury of bears in battle, Berserker captures their primal, untamed power. This blend of fir needle, charred cedarwood, and warm sandalwood is spiced just enough to reflect the intensity of the fray. A subtle hint of smoldering wood lingers, evoking the raw, woodsy energy of the battlefield and the indomitable spirit of these legendary bear-pelt wearing warriors. 🎨[BEHIND THE SCENES]🎨 • The very first scent I have ever created. It was the scent that started the foundation of Valkyrie back in 2016. • The artwork took me the longest out of all of them, but not because of how hard the composition was. There were so many different routes I could have taken with the idea and imagery of the Berserker, and some of the versions I made quite honestly borderlined extreme gore. I had over 30 completely different designs and compositions before finally ending with this one. • The bear in this composition actually involves 6 different renders blended together to make him. • Half of the layers making up this composition is actually lighting 😅 • Since the very beginning this scent was always 'orange' to me and always reminded me of watching wood ignite and smolder in a campfire. The fire itself just consumes everything in its path and the idea of a berserker aligned with that. It reminds me of fury, destruction, primal rage and intensity. The Bindrune consists of three elder futhark runes: ᛏ (Tiwaz): The spear-like rune of war and focus, representing the unrelenting drive and bloodlust of the berserker. It’s sharp, aggressive, and cuts straight through chaos. ᚦ (Thurisaz): The rune of giants and destruction, embodying the primal rage and brutality that fuels a berserker’s madness. This is the core of their raw power. ᚲ (Kaunaz): The flame within, a torch of wild, consuming fire. It’s the burning frenzy that takes over the berserker, turning them into an unstoppable force. www.valkyriebeardcare.com
