The scent of Snake root oil is one you will have a hard time forgetting.

Snake root oil greets you like a secret invitation—bright, sharp, and sparkling lightning. On the first inhale, you catch a zing of citrus and mineral, as if you have bitten into a cold, metallic orange. It sparks a jolt of nostalgia and rebellion, reminding one of the scent of the blacksmith's workshop.

There is a subtle warmth beneath that brightness, a sweet, almost resinous hum that lingers long after you pull away. It is like the memory of a bonfire mixed with the cool snap of early morning air, simultaneously cosy and exhilarating.

Breathe deeply and you’ll notice a metallic whisper at the edges, an understated reminder of raw power waiting to be unleashed. It is an intoxicating contrast — fragile in its volatility yet undeniably powerful.

Next time you catch that heady whiff at the blacksmiths, lean into it. Let it carry you somewhere wild—perhaps out on an adventure, towards the horizon glowing, the fresh metalwork pulsing beneath your fingertips.

History & Usage

Refinement

The oil is extracted by cold pressing the roots. A bunch of roots are cut to about the same length, and put in layers onto of each other, in a specially constructed press. Here the root batch is put under mechanical pressure, and is re-tightened several times a day for usually about a weeks time. The oils pressed from the roots, are then put into an evaporation jar, that is kept warm and dry for a minimum of a month. In moister and or colder conditions, the evaporation takes a longer time, to reach a desired level of purity.

Distribution

Storage

After the oil is refined to the desired state, It is stored in a closed water tight container. Moisture is attempted to be avoided, so that the oil does not become contaminated with too much water, that will degrade the oil.
