Media_httpvtvltimages_rjvmi

The French cosmetics studio, Galimard, has created a new "national perfume" for Lithuania, local daily Vilniaus Diena reports. The government sent bottles of the new fragrance -- Lietuva -- to Lithuanian soldiers serving in Afghanistan and all foreign ambassadors in Lithuania. The perfume will be sent to Lithuanian embassies, hotels, and airports. Candles with the same scent will go on sale in February 2011. A full line of products is currently under design.

"We wanted to create something special, representing Lithuania and the Lithuanian character," said Mindaugas Stongvilas, emotional communication expert. The perfume is a blend of sandalwood, cedar, and musk, "intended to connote the Indo-European origins of the Lithuanian language and the strength of the Lithuanian character," Mr Stongvilas said. "We added the smell of wood fires, reminiscent of pagan rituals, as well as moss and wildflowers.”
