An oil of command and worldly power, of the claiming and reclamation of influence and authority. It is an oil of triumph in defiance of tyranny, bigotry, and oppression (both from external and internal sources). This is an oil of finding your power when you feel powerless, and amplifying your power when you are in your radiance. It is an oil of autonomy, self-sufficiency, of victory over those who would subjugate you. This oil shatters bonds of servitude, grants you increased control over your own life, and brings your enemies to heel – and it does it all through intensifying courage, augmenting your virtues, and turning the core of your being into a churning supernova of healthy, luminous power. Frankincense essential oil (Boswellia serrata) and tears (Boswellia dalzielii), organic Roman chamomile essential oil and herb from the TAL garden (Anthemis nobilis), bay laurel essential oil and leaves from the TAL garden (Laurus nobilis), red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus), sandalwood essential oil gleaned from wild-harvested Australian heartwood (Santalum spicatum), tobacco absolute (Nicotiana tabacum) and tobacco blossoms from the TAL garden (Nicotiana glauca), supercritical fluid CO2 extraction of ginger and dried rhizome (Zingiber officinale), pink pepper essential oil (Schinus terebinthifolia), black pepper essential oil (Piper nigrum), basil essential oil (Ocimum basilicum), orris root and orris butter concrete (Iris germanica), red rose petals (Rosa damascena), tonka bean absolute (Dipteryx odorata ), cinnamon chips (Cinnamomum verum), hexane-free saffron absolute (Crocus sativus), fossilized amber oil (Oleum succini), 24-karat gold, silver, and rose vegetal musk.

This blend should just be called I BOW TO NO ONE. I woke up this morning, dabbed some LC oil on, and decided to dab some Queen's Exultation as well, mainly to basically turn myself into a mini-supernova of power. This to me manifested both in Saturnian authority and Martial action. I have basically cut through my work today like a hot knife through butter, including leading a 90+ minute team meeting. It's got some oomph that I have typically associated with Aldebaran, which may just be the Saturn/Mars combo manifesting for me on this one. I am sad that this is not available anymore, because I would definitely buy a backup.

A shining scent, bright and warm: copal, champaca blossom, sweet amber, frankincense, and lemon peel.

With a hint of cinnamon and cardamom.

This year’s iteration of Worm Moon is a moist, writhing splort of white grapefruit, coconut meat, wet white amber, squishy pink fruits, cistus, and ruddy labdanum protruding through a moondust-dappled mound of white musk, iris absolute, white sandalwood, and ti leaf.

This one’s for Lilith.

A song of love echoing out through the aethers from the shadowy lands of death: pale rose and sweet myrrh drifting through a veil of olibanum, elemi, pallid frankincense, black tea leaf, and ho wood. I get mainly rose, frankincense, and woods. It's a sweet rose, resinous, light and yet kind of sad. If you're looking for sad and sweet rose blends, this one is definitely for you. It reminded me of being in the twilight of your years, and looking back at your first love.

A scent of strength and serenity: golden amber and pale lavender, sweet red patchouli and sugar cane.

I botched this about two years ago, and it’s been sitting on my desk ever since. I didn’t realize that there was Snake Oil in a bottle when I blended Psionicist into it, so…. there you go. This is lightly aged Snake Oil plus electric white mint, eucalyptus leaf, white frankincense, and blue-white musk.

Zippy clean aldehyde with a whiff of juniper. This smells very clean, and very much like a traditional male cologne. Good throw and wear length. mr. zee_zee might enjoy this.

Soothing almond, vanilla, coconut blend. Low throw, and wear length.

A ton of neroli and verbena (so hello lemony orange blossom?), with a whiff of frankincense and smoke underneath. It's like a more incensey Jean Nate. Huge throw and wear length.

Sugared amber. Yup. That's it. I get very little throw or wear length. It's mainly a skin scent on me. If anyone amped this puppy up though, I can see it being amazing. Unfortunately, my skin just ate it up.

Moss, stone, and nothing really that screams resins to me. Basically if you ever wanted a stone blend, this one delivers. Good throw and wear length.

Amber, stone, vanilla, mysore sandalwood and just deliciousness. This is epically beautiful, and I think I need a bottle. For those worried about the cardamom, yes its sort of there but not really? I am getting other notes. This so so good. Medium throw and wear length.

Fruity morpher. On wet, I get the mandarin and then it dries down to clove, roses, lavender and a whiff of musk that still has a fruity overtone to it. This is delightfully blended and not something I would have expected. Great throw and wear length.

Honeyed pom and bay leaf. This one is a spicy pom blend to me, with tinges of bay, honey and fig. I get a very deep red vibe from this. Medium throw and wear length.

Resinous, with a touch of incense and sweet gum. This is a very 'pure' incense sort of smell. Not like burning incense, but more like unburnt/ghost incense. Medium throw, low wear length.

Bright sage with the warmth of both nutmeg, cedar and a touch of sasparilla. This is a warm spicy woodsy blend that is gender neutral but does lean masculine. Ever wanted to cuddle a tree? This is what tree cuddling smells like. Medium throw and wear length.

A creativity blend specifically crafted to assist in innovative and inspired solutions to everyday problems.
