BENU introduces two new editions to its Talisman collection of pens the Frankincense and the Lily of the Incas. Both substances have a long history of magical and ceremonial use that have inspired these new, exciting designs. One of the oldest documented magical resins, Frankincense has been used in the Middle East and Asia from the Biblical times for religious, spiritual and magical purposes. While the Lily of Incas, also known as Alstroemeria, originates from South America, where it was venerated as a divine gift bestowed by the God of the Sun. Although stemming from different parts of the the world, both substances are surrounded by numerous legends and myths. Drawing inspiration from these tales of yore, we set out to convey these stories not only in the color and style of each pen, but by actually infusing a part of each substance* into the five different designs.
