Origin & Lore
New Mown Hay is a classic oil in the hoodoo and folk-magick repertoire, named for the scent of freshly cut grass and hay. It is worked for turning over a new leaf, starting a new business and breaking with old habits, and also for grounding, harmony and plenty, like a full barn after harvest.
The sweet smell of hay drying in a summer field is the smell of coumarin, and for over a century it has been bottled as a symbol of fresh starts.
New Mown Hay was a popular perfume name in the late nineteenth century and found its way into spiritual-supply catalogs as an oil for new beginnings. Its scent comes from coumarin, the compound that gives sweet vernal grass, sweet woodruff and tonka beans their warm smell, and which is released as grass dries.
Did You Know?
Coumarin, the scent of new-mown hay, was first isolated from tonka beans in 1820 and later made synthetically, becoming one of the first synthetic materials used in fine perfume.
