Unique artisan botanical perfumes that you won't find elsewhere, harmonized from essential oils and plant essences, based in organic grain and grape spirits. These natural perfumes are far more responsive to your unique chemistry than the majority of commercial scents based upon aldehydes and other synthetic scent components. They will smell differently on your skin than they do in the bottle; they bloom and evolve in scent within 10 to 20 minutes and, almost magically, a unique perfume becomes even more exclusive. Alchemy in a bottle. And cruelty-free. (a word about chemical sensitivities and natural products here)
Throughout antiquity, perfume was was available to only the most wealthy and privileged individuals. Treat yourself to a bit of antiquity and let your senses transport you across time and space to exotic lands. Each green glass apothecary vial holds 5 ml, and samples (with quite a few applications to them) are available, too.
Hemera Perfume - Hemera was the primordial deity of the day (where Nyx was the primordial deity of the night), and her parfum is a riot of wildflowers and grassy green fields in the last hot sun of the summer; this composition's heart notes include violet leaf, neroli, petitgrain, acacia farnesiana, and tuberose, which wrap themselves sinuously around a base of ambrette, mimosa concrete, and powdery tonka; verdant and ambrosial

Asherah Perfume - Asherah is the Queen of Heaven, she who walks upon the water, and this perfume is composed to be regal, confident and powerful; top notes of sweet but detached pink grapefruit and Calabrian bergamot grace an inviting heart of Bulgarian rose and voluptuous tuberose resting atop soft Australian sandalwood and powdery styrax benzoin; tenacious and faintly dangerous

Nyx Perfume (new!) - voluptuous tuberose and jasmine grandiflorum meld with musky ambrette, a scant touch of tinctured Australian sandalwood; the rest of the heart is composed of ylang ylang and orange flower, sweetly suggestive, with a top accord of black pepper and pink grapefruit; tuberose is frankly overwhelming, sensuous, and restful, all at once

Ouroboros Perfume - the Ouroboros of alchemy is the self-perpetuating serpent which represents the processes of, and ultimately the wheel of time; it is duality; this balance of a blend is based in deep blue chamomile, the faintly oceanic driftwood of choya, and tall cedars; green herbs float in warm seawater, and there is a hint of sunbaked earth tying this into the base; the top is smooth citrus and cool lavender; this is water, earth, and warmth as it evolves on the skin; brilliant on men, great on women, too

Dusk Perfume - cardamom and nutmeg introduce a heart of jasmine grandiflorum which sings out and colors accessory tones of geranium and honey, before diving into a smooth woodsy base of black tea, Himalayan cedarwood and the scantest touch of musty vetiver; the overall character is that of warming oneself on a winter's night, with a lingering musk of jasmine

Dawn Perfume - the top accord of this creation is punctuated by the faintly insolent green tones of galbanum, a mainstay of complexity and surprise in perfumery; galbanum plays off of cold-pressed lime, mandarin, and a touch of grapefruit which ricochets into a sunbeam of jasmine auriculatum tempered with the powdery sweetness of frangipani, and the fruity base of jasmine sambac, honey, and green tea; this is a bright glittery jasmine with galbanum to keep it both earthbound and genteel

Green Tea Perfume - this contemplative blend has a very special and very rare ingredient in its base accord: several drops of mitti attar; mitti is baked mud from the Ganges which is hydro-diffused into sandalwood essential oil, and given the highly endangered status of sandalwood, this is the only time we have used it - mitti has a very earthen scent profile which grounds the green tea absolute and maté, while bolstering the neroli and boronia at the heart of this creation; there is also a citrus accord in the top with a touch of coriander; fresh, earthy, green, and perky, all at once

Rosemary Perfume - believe it or not, rosemary absolute has a fresh herbacious character that plays beautifully with the evergreen sweetness of fir, the smoky forest floor of oakmoss, and a hint of lavendin; to lighten the foresty tones, there are also petitgrain and bergamot in here; this is a fresh and herbal pleaser of a perfume, that smells divine on men as well as women

Boadecia Perfume - top notes of warm coriander, faintly anisic tarragon, and bitter orange spiral into a musky heart of ylang ylang and frangipani; the base is composed of vanilla, styrax, diluted ambrette, ylang concrete, and the sheerest touch of labdanum; this is a frankly warm and feminine perfume that invites one to come closer and linger a bit; Boadecia (also spelled Boudicca) was one of the first femme fatales to make history, you might say

Muse Perfume - perfumer's alcohol tinctured with toasted cocoa beans creates the warm chocolate base of this perfume, tempered with orange flower; but fear not, you won't smell of Tobler chocolate oranges! you will smell exotic osmanthus flowers, known for their faintly apricot tones, and soft rosa centifolia, set off with bitter orange

Qa'veh Perfume - coffee is an often unsung base note that works sheer magic with vanilla, patchouli, and frangipani; there is also a touch of tobacco absolute which adds a dry and powdery character to the base; in the heart, fir needle and rose make the top accord of pink grapefruit and yuzu sing out; this is a dark and faintly bewildering concoction that smells particularly good on some men, although women can try it as well

Tisane - black tea, tinctured darjeeling tea leaves, and a sprinkling of bright pink rose petals color this blend bright and refreshing, with a lingering sweetness of Madagascar vanilla tempered with tolu balsam; Tisane hangs brightly in the night sky as a blooming rose tempered with the dry sweetness and complexity of Camellia sinensis
