A cinematic journey through Austria’s alpine regions, “The Scent of the Alps” aka ” Der Duft der Alpen – Kosmetik aus Österreich ” explores the creation of natural cosmetics rooted in local traditions, plants, and artisanal expertise.
Filmed in some of the country’s most stunning landscapes, the documentary highlights sustainable production, regional value chains, and the subtle connection between nature and well-being.
Austria’s natural cosmetics are defined by purity, regional identity, and trust in nature’s intelligence. The products featured in The Scent of the Alps are crafted from extraordinary ingredients such as mare’s milk, lavender, stone pine (Zirbe), poppy seed, and many others – often sourced directly from local farmers and alpine producers.
These are not industrial formulas, but authentic, handcrafted compositions rooted in centuries of herbal tradition and shaped by Austria’s diverse landscapes. What unites them is a commitment to sustainability, transparency, and uncompromising quality.
