Sensing a theme?
Mainly for my own reference, I wanted to list the scents I'd received today with their official descriptions:
Pumpkin Patch IV: Pumpkin with sandalwood and orris.
Numb: a singularly chilly, delectably ice-rimmed perfume.
Beltane: One of the holiest days in the Pagan calendar, Beltane is the Day of Baal’s Fire, and marks the midpoint of Sol’s path between the Vernal Equinox and Summer Solstice.In Druidic tradition, need-fires were set atop hills in a symbolic gesture of bringing the Sun’s light down to Earth. Celebrants danced around the fires in harmony with the Sun’s seeming movement through the sky, and passed eadar dà theine Bhealltuinn, between the Fires of Beltane, to purify themselves. In Scotland, all hearth fires were extinguished, and the flames from the need-fires were used to rekindle their flames, bringing blessings and good fortune into the household.It doesn’t matter where your faith lies, Beltane is sacred to us simply because we’re human. It is a celebration of new growth, rebirth, of the fertility of our land, our spirits and our bodies, and is a reminder of the joy in simply being alive. Celebrate life! Wind some flowers into your hair, dab a little oil behind each ear, toss the first petals of springtime onto your yard, and bless your garden the old fashioned way!
Dragon Moon: dragon’s blood resin, tea leaf, bamboo reed, sandalwood and cherry blossom.
Gypsy Queen: A heavy-lidded perfume, the quintessence of beauty and power shrouded in mystery, swathed in a deep, velvet-clad cloak of dark omens: Romany incense and candle smoke mingling with an alluring,body-warmed whiff of bergamot, neroli, Bulgar rose, carnation, andamber musk.
Luperci: This scent is for the Luperci, the Chosen ofFaunus, the Brothers of the Wolf: raw, down and dirty patchouli, Gurjambalsam, and essence of Sampson Root sweetened with the heightened sexuality of beeswax, virile juniper, oakmoss, ambrette seed over honeyand East African musk.
Spellbound: Perfectly enchanting! An irresistibly sexual, utterly rapturous blend of three roses, radiant amber, and sensual red musk.
Bloodlust: A fiery Martial blend that embodies primal rage, lust for conquest, and all-encompassing desire. Dragon's blood essence, heavy red musk, Indonesian patchouli and swarthy vetiver with a drop of cinnamon.
Urd: Muscadine, black and red patchouli, cereus and nag champa.
