    The Secret of “Thieves’ Oil”

    Imagine Europe in a time when the plague was sweeping through its streets. While most people hid behind closed doors, terrified of infection, a group of thieves fearlessly robbed the sick and the dead. And what was the greatest mystery? They never seemed to catch the disease themselves. Does it sound like a scene from a historical movie? In fact, it is one of the best-known legends behind the famous “Thieves’ Oil.”

    The Story That Changed Aromatherapy

    When the thieves – originally spice merchants and perfumers – were finally caught, the judges were so amazed by their apparent resilience that they promised them a lighter sentence in exchange for revealing their secret. The thieves confessed that before their nightly excursions, they rubbed themselves with a special blend of strongly aromatic herbs and spices. The mixture reportedly included clove, cinnamon, rosemary, lemon and eucalyptus. This herbal alchemy was said to create an invisible, fragrant shield around them.

    Why Does This Blend Work?

    From today's perspective, we know that the thieves' apparent success was not necessarily magic, but rather a story inspired by the remarkable properties of nature. Certain plants contain essential oils that are known for their antibacterial properties and are also widely used to freshen and fragrance indoor spaces.

    • Clove and cinnamon: These warming spices have traditionally been used in personal care and to add a rich, comforting fragrance to the air.

    • Rosemary and eucalyptus: Popular ingredients in aromatherapy, they are valued for their fresh, invigorating aromas, particularly during the colder months.

    • Lemon: Its bright, uplifting fragrance creates a refreshing atmosphere and helps bring a sense of freshness to any space.

    Legendary Protection for Your Living Room

    You no longer need to take risks to discover the appeal of this legendary blend. At SAVON, we took inspiration from the historic recipe to create our 100% natural BAKTÉRIE essential oil blend. It features the same botanical ingredients – lemon, clove, eucalyptus, cinnamon and rosemary. It is ideal for freshening indoor spaces, adding a pleasant fragrance and helping to neutralize unwanted odours.

    Taking care of your well-being works best as part of a holistic approach. That is why we included BAKTÉRIE in our popular Immune Trio set, alongside two other essential oil blends to enjoy during the colder months:

    • IMUNITA Essential Oil: A specially designed herbal synergy for everyday aromatherapy rituals during seasonal changes. It helps create a sense of balance and well-being.

    • DÝCHANIE Essential Oil: A refreshing blend designed to fragrance your surroundings and create a pleasant atmosphere. Its invigorating aroma is especially welcome during the cold season, when you feel tired or when seasonal allergies are in the air.

    How Can You Make the Most of This Blend?

    Diffusing essential oils is a wonderful way to create a welcoming atmosphere at home. Not only can you fill your space with fragrance, but the warm, spicy and herbal notes can also help create a cosy environment where you can relax and unwind. Simply add 2–3 drops, following your diffuser manufacturer's instructions, and let the natural aromas transform your space.
