NEW BLENDS, NEW LOOK!
The Wheel of the Year is an ancient Celtic calendar based on festivals that celebrate our innate connection with nature, and the ebb and flow of the light and dark as the Earth makes its journey around the sun. The calendar revolves around eight festivals, from Imbolc to Yule – each one signaling a shift in the season, weather, and the natural world around us. The purpose of the calendar is to offer a deeper connection with nature and Mother Earth, as each season offers new gifts to be celebrated. Observing and honoring each of the cyclical seasonal stations (or sabbats) of the Wheel of the Year allows us opportunities for intention and reflection.
Our seasonal ritual aroma roller blends are the perfect natural perfume accent for every season. We thoughtfully craft every detail, taking into consideration the aromatherapeutic properties of each essential oil included in our blends, and meticulously curate each scent to align with the traditional correspondences of each season. Each roller includes crystals that correspond with the blend and the season. Our roller blends are blessed with Reiki love for your highest and greatest good to assist you in your present journey.
Wearing our ritual perfume blends during the corresponding season offers you a daily opportunity to be mindful, observant, present, and to reflect upon your intentions for that month. Apply the roller as you would any perfume - to pulse points, wrists, neck, etc. Remind yourself to inhale the aroma deeply as you apply. Take a moment to center yourself, repeat any affirmations that align with your intentions, and connect with your inner wisdom. Apply as often as you like, and/or apply before you do ritual work, divination, or meditation. Allow the power of the botanical aromas to deepen your ritual.
Imbolc blend: Imbolc (aka Candlemas) celebrates the midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox (aka Ostara) and the approaching spring. Occuring annually on Feb 1st-2nd, this Celtic fire festival celebrates the kindling of new life. The word ‘Imbolc’ itself means in the belly /in the womb which is a direct reference to a new stirring of life and possibility. The literal translation refers to pregnant ewes and the lambing season. Imbolc brings the first whispers of Spring as our days slowly become a bit longer, the Earth starts to thaw, and the possibility of new life feels ever present. Imbolc brings forward the promise of growth while we still have one foot in Winter and are likely feeling run down and ready to move on from the cold and dark. It is in these moments when it seems like Winter will never end and our gardens will not come back that Imbolc arrives, looks us in the eye, and asks us to trust the rhythm of the Earth. Our hearts crack open and our eyes well up because we can feel so deeply that we are on the precipice of a monumental shift.
Imbolc and its rituals are closely associated with the Goddess Brigid, a triple goddess of healing, fertility, childbirth, poetry, inspiration, and blacksmithing. Her triple goddess aspect is different than the traditional Maiden/Mother/Crone, and instead reflect her three distinct roles as the Lady of the Healing Waters, Goddess of the Sacred Flame, and Goddess of the Fertile Earth. Associated with fertility and fire, known as the keeper of the sacred flame, and celebrated as the guardian of home and hearth, celebrating and honoring Brigid can include bonfires, candle services, and other fire rituals around the hearth or outside the home. Crosses made of traditional reeds are commonly crafted on Imbolc.
Our Imbolc blend is a verdant blend of bright bergamot, gentle and romantic dew-laden lily of the valley, powdery soft violet, sparkling cassis and energizing pink grapefruit. Serene and tender. We've paired this ritual aromatic blend with milky white snow quartz, which represents purity, compassion and new beginnings, and green aventurine, a soothing stone of harmony, growth, and abundance. Bright blessings!
Yule blend: During the darkest night of the year, we encounter a space of utter stillness, quietude, and rest as we await the return of the sun's singing promise of rebirth and renewal. This magickal blend is perfect for the Winter Solstice! The Yule season is full of magick and wonder; a time of reflection, hope and new beginnings. Though the dark and cold months can bring our spirits down, this lively blend illuminates our soul and helps keep our inner flame aglow, reminding us that all things are possible!
A bright blend of juicy blood orange, fir needle, black spruce, eucalyptus, cedarwood, spearmint and clove brings the promise of joy and light, lifting spirits bright. Sunny citrine brings the warming rays of the sun, guides us into brighter days ahead with confidence & happiness. Citrine harmonizes with the oils to bring balance, guidance and protection during the dark days of winter. Citrine is also a stone of abundance. Carnelian is a stone of creativity, promoting passion and self-expression. A warm and comforting ally in this season of new beginnings.

Seasonal Ritual Aroma Rollers
Perfume oil rollers do not contain any alcohol and thus won't have the staying power of a true parfum. However, here's a few tips to get the most out of each application:
- Apply your perfume oil to moisturized skin. Aroma molecules evaporate far more slowly on well hydrated skin. Dry skin will quickly dissipate fragrance as well as those lighter and brighter top notes and floral heart notes.
- Apply after bathing/showering when possible, when pores are open for maximum absorption.
- Try layering your scented products for a longer aromatic experience. Select scents that complement and/or have similar note profiles. A scented lotion or body oil will moisturize AND maximize scent retention.
- Apply to pulse points but do NOT rub in (rubbing will make the top notes burn off more quickly!). If you apply more than you wanted, simply tap your wrists together or dab on another pulse point. Warmth exuded from these points will project scent the longest. Best pulse points: wrists, neck/behind ears, collar bones, heart space, inner elbows (a great spot for long-lasting diffusion!), and behind knees.
- However, there are certain spots that experts DO NOT recommend applying any perfume to, inlcuding eyes, face, privates, scalp, and any irritated, damaged skin (including cuts, scrapes, etc).
- Remember that citrus and floral notes are the most fleeting so a floral-forward scent will dissipate much more quickly than a woodsy or gourmand blend. Thus you may have to reapply these lighter blends a few times throughout the day.
- Also remember that you will get used to your signature scent and won't notice it as much as those surrounding you. So don't be too quick to overapply!
- Keep in mind that if you've been to the gym and worked up a sweat, you'll need to reapply post-shower.
- Store your perfume roller in a cool, dark place for longest shelf life. Do not allow your roller bottle to be exposed to direct sun, excessive heat, high humidity (ahem, like the bathroom), or anywhere that it will be exposed to drastic temperature changes.

A heart of watery, green lily of the valley ushers in spring in a dreamy floral bouquet accented with lilac and peony blossom. Hints of citrusy bergamot and sweet peach top notes add a sweet contrast to the deep green base with hints of light musk that wrap a silky ribbon around this romantic bouquet! Green aventurine and clear quartz renew one's optimism for life and bring good luck.
Beltane blend - NEW! Beltane is celebrated on the first of May, aka May Day, and is a vibrant celebration of life and all its pleasures. It is a time of fertility, creativity and boundless growth, when nature is at its most vibrant. Traditional celebrations include the wearing of floral crowns as symbols of fertility and beauty, dancing & singing around the May pole decorated with ribbons, representing love and fertility, and fire, representing passion and sexuality.
Our beautiful Beltane blend marries an enticing floral bouquet of rose, jasmine, violet, and lily of the valley with bright sunny mandarin and lemon top notes; all wrapped in a sultry ribbon of earthy vetiver, sandalwood and musk. It's intoxicating and radiant! We've included both clear quartz crystals and fiery carnelian in each bottle to boost your confidence and allow for your true self-expression, stimulate your creativity and passion, and increase your motivation.
Midsummer blend - The Summer Solstice, aka Midsummer, aka Litha, the longest day of the year, is celebrated on June 20/21 each year. It is a celebration filled with light and joy; a day of revelry, levity, and abundance. Its a perfect day to show gratitude for the bounty of blessings bestowed upon you throughout the year. Go spend some time in the sun! From here on out, the days grow shorter.
Our brilliant Midsummer blend is a bright, uplifting citrus burst of mandarin, lemon, blood orange, Mexican lime, Italian bergamot, orange blossom and mimosa. Subtle grounding base notes reminiscent of a summer herb garden bring herbaceous notes of thyme and mint to the party while hints of earthy white musk and amber offer a clean finish. Radiant & warm! A sunny calendula infused sunflower oil base and citrine chips for a sunny disposition bring peak vibes to this blend. This blend was bottled during the May geomagnetic solar storms to assist you in becoming a luminous beacon of light. Solar flares are perceived as conduits of divine energy, capable of illuminating the path to higher consciousness. Bountiful blessings indeed!
Mabon blend - Mabon celebrates the autumn equinox, a day of equal light and dark, generally falling on Sept 21-22nd. It is the 2nd of the 3 fall harvest festivals and celebrates the abundance of the harvest and preparing for the descent into winter. Balance and harmony is key in this season! Our Mabon blend begins with bright notes of citrus and crisp apple, leading to an aromatic heart of fir and juniper, while base notes of smooth cedarwood round out the finish. A perfect balance of woodsy and sweet and reflective of this harvest season! Red jasper for balance, stability, and grounding and Carnelian for endurance, optimism, courage and creativity.
Lammas blend - In the Celtic tradition, Lammas is the first of the 3 fall harvest festivals, occurring around Aug 1st. At Lammas everything is poised and waiting, waiting for that perfect moment when the crop is at is optimal best and the weather is right. The start of harvest means that we are moving into a time of plenty, of fruitfulness and transformation, of regrets and farewells. While you may not be harvesting wheat from the fields, this rich energy is still at work in your life. All of your efforts from the past several months are about to bear fruit! Let go of your regrets, say farewell to what no longer serves you well, acknowledge the efforts you’ve put towards your personal growth, and harvest any seeds that you have planted (both literally and figuratively). Our lively Lammas roller is a soothing herbaceous blend that's perfect for late summer revelry. Top notes of tart blood orange, Mexican lime, and Italian bergamot offer a refreshing opening while airy heather and light florals add a romantic summer meadow vibe. Base notes of fresh thyme, mint, sage and fennel round out the finish alongside hints of pine and white musk for glowing warmth. A base of calendula infused sunflower oil, a few calendula petals and a single oatstraw top offer seasonal appropriate correspondences. Moss agate, aka "the gardeners stone" helps us attune to the energies of the garden while carnelian helps us accept the circle of life.
Samhain blend: This fire festival coincides with Halloween and is the origin for all modern Halloween traditions. At Samhain (pronounced Sow-en) the veil between our world and the spirit world/otherworld is at its thinnest, allowing spirits to make mischief. It is a traditional day to honor the dead, whether recently passed or your ancestors. Considered the witch's new year, Samhain is a celebration of transition and transformation; a time to release the past and reflect on your goals for the year ahead.
Our Samhain perfume is a rich and mysterious blend of sweet orange, ginger, patchouli, clove and just a touch of black pepper in a base of mugwort infused EVOO. Donned with a sprig of mugwort and carnelian chips for added protection during the thinning veil. OUR MOST POPULAR BLEND!
