JINX REMOVING: Purification, Protection & Uncrossing Use on the night of the new moon to banish the baneful effects of negativity directed at us on a daily basis: e.g., dirty looks, rude gestures, smarmy remarks. Banishes the residue of everyday F*ck Yous. Use in the bath, on self, and to dress white candles.
In Bottle: Beautiful peppermint
On Skin: This is a fresh energizing peppermint, and it actually cools my skin. There’s a little tingling where I applied it. Today it was almost 100 degrees here in Denver, and by dabbing a little behind each ear, my entire neck feels like it’s been rubbed down by ice cubes. NICE! I should have tried this on the new moon, but I forgot, so I’m trying it today. There has been some recent unwarranted negativity in my life that I would like to send as far away as possible and I’m hoping this will help. I love that it completely clears my sinuses. I am usually not a fan of peppermint, but for some reason this scent just instantly uplifts me. My husband and I were arguing about money issues and as soon as I applied this I felt the stress just melt away. I am going to be trying this out again and I have a feeling this may be a new favorite.
RADIANCE OF RA: Joy & Inspiration Creates a nimbus of glittering solar energy. Aids in all healing work, unveils lies and deceptions, promotes vigor and vitality, and grants blessings of joy and contentment.
In Bottle: Clove and sweet citrus
On Skin: I smell sweet spicy cloves at forst and a light citrus oil, orange I think? Very “radiant” and warm. There is also a soft smoky incense and several tangy herbal notes. I have a deep connection with most Egyptian history and after a recent Reiki session have been looking into past lives and wanting to find out a bit more. I ordered this right before I went into my session and thought that was a very neat coinsidence. After the session I discovered it wasn’t Ra I had the connection with, but the feeling I get from this scent is very familiar and even though I generally hate clove as a note, this scent settles in perfectly on me. I honestly feel like it heals me mentally. I get contentment and a nice mellow bliss. I am happy I have a half bottle of this, I will be using it often. It is a beautiful scent and I love it on candles and the way it makes the room smell.
THUNDERBIRD: Oblation A willing guardian and protector of mankind, a wise and benevolent teacher, and the creator of life-giving storms. The sharp tang of ozone and the deep bass growl of thunder over mountain trees.
In Bottle: Perfumey
On Skin: Beautiful ozone clean and crystal clear. Very fresh and soft. This isn’t as bright and sharp as some ozone scents which I like. It’s a lot more mellow and light, slightly floral. I don’t think it smells like real rain though, more like the scent perfumes and perfumed products call “Spring Rain” or such. It’s very pretty and I would love to use it as a room scent. I’d probably not wear it though because ozone scents just seem to soapy on my skin. A unisex scent perfect for someone who loves ozone scents. Light throw and light wearlength. A scent everyone should at least try since it really is a beautiful blend.
BAT’S BLOOD: Discontinued Voodoo Blend From Voodoo Blends: Vengeance can be yours.
In Bottle: Sweet wood and resin
On Skin: This is so sweet and yummy… oh my!!! I get Dragon’s Blood from it, that must be the resinous note. I don’t get the lilac or florals other people have mentioned at all. To me it’s pretty much just Dragon’s Blood and maybe a sweet wood like cedar in the far background. Very pretty, very dark, but oh so sweet. I love it and would wear it often if I had a bottle. Very light throw (sadly, I wish it was stronger) but good staying power.
WILDFIRE: Limited Edition A traditional blend of woods used in Celtic pyromantic divinatory practices, updated and contemporized with the addition of a fae blend of orris essence, dragon's blood, juniper berry, and red rose.
In Bottle: Sweet floral and berries
On Skin: Wow! This is an exciting blend! Not at all what I expected, I get a deep rush of juniper berries and then the sweet Dragon’s Blood tinted with the sharp splash of rose. While it has a red note for sure, as the blend develops I get a nice fresh green note from the juniper. It is so pretty. Rarely do rose blends work on me, but for some reason this one loves me. It’s elegant and feminine, but the woods in it also give a deep earthy fresh note… so it’s also strong and substantial. About 20 minutes into the drydown, I think the rose becomes a little too strong for me. It turns the scent a bit sour. I love it in the beginning, but when the rose becomes dominant it doesn’t thrill me as much. Still a gorgeous scent and I’m keeping my imp. Average throw, short wearlength.
TEMPLE OF THE GHEDE: Convergence TAL He is the most benevolent of the Loa of the Dead, powerful in healing. He is a protector of children as well as being a great jester. He is the loa of death and resurrection.
In Bottle: Sharp and ozone
On Skin: This is a strong beautiful blend. It starts off with a crisp ozone note. In the background is a dark earthy note that makes an interesting contrast with the bright ozone. Usually ozone notes are too sharp on me, with the nice spicy and deep earthy background note, the blend is balanced and actually is gorgeous on my skin. It’s slightly powdery and also a tad sweet. It seems a little masculine to me at first, as most ozone scents do to me, but as I wear it I think it might just be a strong and powerful scent that is just as beautiful on a woman. I know the TAL blends are not meant as perfumes, but I still like to see how they smell on me. This blend is so complex and interesting I can’t NOT wear it. I love it!! Big kudos to Beth on this blend, it really does just astound me how intense it is. Very strong throw and long wear length.
