Der Duft von Himmel und HÖlle
ODORS OF HEAVEN AND HELL

The history of ritual scents

Long before the Three Wise Men brought their precious gifts, all the way from Greece to the Far East scents came hand in hand with rituals. This film offers an insight into the history of frankincense, sandalwood, mastic, bay leaf, sage wood, holy grass and myrrh.
