Discontinued Blends
Ex-catalogue
Empyreal Mist
A hazy, soft, veiled scent: mist floating through twilit skies, curling gently towards the heavens.
Springtime smell - light, airy, fruit-tea-bamboo-floral softness. Very very pretty. (My forum review).
Glitter
All flash and glam: white wine, heliotrope, d'Anjou pear, and lotus.
Ends up smelling precisely like mosquito repellent. Ick. (My forum review).
Neo-Tokyo
Urban metallics and an ozone-tinged breath of electric light mingled with reedy bamboo, crisp mountain air, cherry blossoms, delicate orchid and a splash of playful, wet fruits.
Morphs like mad - rich cherries in the imp, metal and mint when wet, light cherry blossom and plum when dry. One to retry. (My forum review).
Shadow
A subtly menacing blend of lemon verbena, white sandalwood and cedar, dimmed by droplets of the darkest patchouli.
Candy lemon over dry patchouli. Meh, not great. (My forum review).
Three Witches
Warm cinnamon, husky clove and white pepper.
Hot pepper cinnamon sweets. Very unusual. (My forum review).
Typhon
Our own blend of Earth and Hell: red patchouli, sandalwood, black musk and vetiver.
Too much vetiver - becomes dirty hippy rolled in mud on my skin. Blech. (My forum review).
Oblation
Chiroptera
A bat-friendly bouquet! Evening primrose, night-scented stock, moonflower, night phlox, lemon balm, lavender, honeysuckle, sweet sage, salvia and thyme.
Smells like the garden in Narberth - honeysuckle and primrose and sage... just beautiful. (My forum review).
Corazon
A lyric, wistful blend of summertime Irish blossoms and herbs, glistening with vibrant white musk.
Oisin
A lyric, wistful blend of summertime Irish blossoms and herbs, glistening with vibrant white musk.

Tarot Oils
The Fool
"As a card, the Fool ultimately stands for a new start. When it turns up the Querent might be about to make a move, not just to a new home, but new job, new life. There's more than just change, renewal, and a brand new beginning in the Fool, there's also movement, a fresh, exciting new time."
A very cooling soft mint, with hints of powdery florals. Very pleasant. (My forum review).
The Empress
"The Empress is no less beautiful than the flowers that throw their scent across her fields, no less fertile than the soil that lies underneath her throne. If anything represents the idea of Mother Earth in the Tarot, then it is the Empress. She takes pleasure in all things, particularly her own creations - and everything in nature is her own creation."
Morphs a bit, but eventually settles on warm rose and sandalwood. Wonderful and comforting. (My forum review).
Justice
"When Justice appears in a throw, it is usually a signal that there is some injustice that needs righting, some thing in the world that is dangerously out of balance. This could be interior to the Querent (not giving the self its props; arrogance) or this could be the calling of the Querent (to right some external wrong)."
Promisingly dark tea-and-woods, and then violets killed it. (My forum review).
Strength
"Many people attribute the notions of forgiveness, compassion and nurturing to this card, but this is clearly not what is shown by Strength. This is a Fire card, and therefore detrimental to all the emotions. The only qualities that abound in Strength are courage and patience."
A light green citrusy aquatic, turning into Sea of Glass. (My forum review).
Temperance
"When Temperance appears, it is a warning or invitation to be prepared for a confrontation with the deepest questions. Who we are. Who we apparently are. Who we think we are. Who we will become."
A very vivid bold bouquet of fresh spring flowers. Lots of hyacinth. (My forum review).
The Star
"With Aquarius as its ruling sign, The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. The star only reveals the future. It is up to the Querent to find his way to that future."
Lime and coconut and mint and wow. Maybe too verbena-ish, but captivating nonetheless. (My forum review).
The Sun
"A positive card, it promises the Querent their day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. This is science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy."
bright bubbly orange candy fading to faint powdery weirdness. (My forum review).
Judgement
"This is the energy of creation without destruction, impossible on the material plane but certainly possible in the world of the spirit. There is rebirth not through discarding negativity, but through integration of all parts of the self. The spirit is cleansed and restored without loss or addition."
Hmm, patchouli and frankincense, fading to a patchouli-scented baby powder. (My forum review).
Ace of Cups
"Emotions rising up for new love. This usually indicates that the querent is feeling a new welling of emotion or beginning to have some vivid dreams. They're not writing the poetry yet, but they feel the desire to, or they may have caught sight of a figure across a room and felt a tug at their heart."
Oh god the cherry, fading to cherry soap. Naaaah. (My forum review).
Ace of Wands
"An exciting new project or career. The essence of fire, creativity, inventiveness, ambition and enthusiasm.Ê The aggressive pursuit of new ventures.Ê Foundations for future success, intuition, conception, fertility, artistic innovation and manhood."
Woody musky dragon's blood fading to an unspectacular sandalwood single note. (My forum review).
