Imagine a warm and dry night where floral essences that are seemingly scentless in the day usher out an aroma bathed in star dust and moon mist. Imagine Arabia or India or Java where precious florals are strung around the bride’s head to entice her lover to the marital bed. Imagine a scent so fathomless that the perfume industry cannot even capture the complexity of the sultry jasmine sambac and you still won’t come close to touching this blend.

Arcana’s mystery revolves around jasmines moonlit petals but is held by the night mistress tuberose, a very rare and highly prized floral in perfumery. It’s uplift is nothing compared to its depths, and the dry out leaves you will thoughts of an Arabian sunset, dry, spicy, slightly sweet, and eternally endearing. Any tension in your body will not be able to fight the unwind that these night florals usher out of you. It is sensual and sedating, and not the kind that makes you fall asleep, the kind that entangles you with the shapeshifting moon. This is a bedside delight for unleashing romance and desire.

5 ml roll on in jojoba oil

Notes of: patchouli, poplar bud absolute, tonka bean, tuberose, elderflower, jasmine sambac, neroli sur petitgrain, grapefruit

How to use: Anoint yourself on your wrists and the neck to take advantage of the veins that lie closest to your skin. The botanical essences in the blend, since highly concentrated, will significantly alter your mood quite quickly, for natural essences are emotional manipulators. Those in your scent field will be piqued, not knowing why they too feel calm and elated. Natural essences do not last as long as synthetic perfumes, rather they alter their scent to your pheromones and something new is then created. It evolves over time as the top notes evaporate, the heart notes reveal themselves and the base notes will ground you into the experience that the whole composition offers. Smelling these oils places you into your limbic brain to ignite memory or they create new one’s. More powerful than vision, scent electrifies the visual center of your brain, thus scent is ethereal both within and without.

Precautions: As perfumery uses high concentrations of essential oils it is far more potent than other essential oil based products. Always spot test on the skin and wait 24 hours. If you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medication seek the help of a health care practitioner.
