LONGSHIP (Label Artwork) 🔥SCENT🔥 Ancient Cedar, Oak Wood, Northern Sea Salt, Sea Kelp, Driftwood, Moss, Musk 💡INSPIRATION💡 Longship captures the spirit of Viking explorers braving the northern seas, where icy waves crash against wooden hulls, and salt-laden winds carry the scent of distant lands. With ancient cedar and oak at its heart, touched by sea salt, kelp, and driftwood, this blend evokes the raw beauty and power of the open ocean. As you navigate through mist and fog, the call of seagulls hints at land on the horizon, a promise from Thor himself. Longship is a tribute to those daring journeys — a musky, aquatic scent that carries you back to the age of Viking conquests and uncharted shores. 🎨BEHIND THE SCENES🎨 • Ever since living on the coast, I wanted to try to replicate that experience within a bottle of beard oil. This scent is dedicated to the Oregon Coast during the stormy and brutal winters here. • When designing this composition, I was dead set on creating an atmosphere of epic proportions which led to me rendering and designing some incredible scenes. Some of these may still appear on the site through merch/prints. I may have to snag one myself haha. • I am part of the reason Longship soap doesn't stay in stock. This still remains one of my all-time favorite scents I have ever smelled and quite literally the only soap I use now. The Bindrune consists of three elder futhark runes: ᚱ (Raido): The rune of travel and purpose, representing the longship's steadfast journey across the sea. ᚾ (Nauthiz): Symbolizes the hardships and necessity of the voyage, the challenges faced and the resolve required to overcome them. ᛃ (Jera): The tides and cycles, reflecting the natural rhythm of the sea and the journey’s ultimate balance and return. This rune combination gives you the raw, struggling endurance of a ship that keeps moving forward, no matter the conditions. Nauthiz being blended with Raidho makes the struggle part of the journey, which is both realistic and symbolic of any voyage—especially one that’s as epic and dangerous as those undertaken by longships. Jera grounding it all provides that sense of balance and continuity, the cyclical nature of the tides and time itself. www.valkyriebeardcare.com
