PSA: There will not be an August update at Nocturne Alchemy.
But there will be decants! Let’s explore the Studio Limited Musks! And did you miss last month’s new decants or half-bottles? Well, here’s a second chance while they last at the musky NA / VA August 2016 (July Second Chance) Decant Circle!

Did you miss last month’s new decants? Well, here’s a second chance at some while they last! Limited to what I can decant out of the bottles I have on hand as I will no longer be ordering new second chance bottles for a single decant.
*But if someone requests a half-bottle of a second chance oil I will order it & then happily open up new slots for decants. :-)
(I can not guarantee that you will receive them before they disappear from the website.)

I AM decanting from the Studio Limiteds this month but ONLY the Musks. This is a one time only offer. As for the other Studio Limiteds, I would be happy to include any 5ml bottle or even half-bottle purchases in your circle order. Eventually other Studio Limiteds will be decanted but for now only the 9 listed below. You can find the entire list here: Studio Limited.
FULL - Black Musk - 0 decants available* ~ Single Note of imported Egyptian Black Musk Fantastique.
Blue Topaz - 0 decants available* ~ Notes from oceanic regions of the Mediterranean and the Arabian Sea became a beautiful Blue Musk blend of aquatic musks and oceanic pine but not the 'ocean' staple of salt and sea, but of mermaids and mermen, perfume for a fantasy musk of Atlantis.
Crimson - 0 decants available* ~ A pure Egyptian Red Musk. The color of the perfume is a beautiful red naturally by the Egyptian Red Musk flowers that were harvested especially for this blend. Enhanced with natural amber resin, created in our Studio, adding a slight richness to the perfume.
Egyptian Musk - 0 decants available* ~ Single note scent - of PURE Egyptian Musk. The thick, clear and clean mild beautiful scent is the scent of Egypt.
Indigo - 0 decants available* ~ A beautifully delicate and tenuous imported African Musk. Words we would associate with this perfume oil are 'heavenly', 'purple', 'peaceful', 'ethereal' and 'grounding'.
