Rose Blackthorn

Hi Midnight Requiem! I love OCCO SLF, too. As you have said, it has great lasting power, and that is one reason that I sometimes apply it to my skin prior to applying other LPs, since it seems to anchor them. I love honey and I love SLF, but to my nose, SLF does not at all come across as overtly honey. I see it as a separate thing entirely. A little of this goes very far!

I love civet, but can not do woodsy scents well. Otherwise, this sounds killer!

OMG...I adore NOX and Teddy BB! I am watching money because of the holidays, when I saw that Mara had done a rebrew of this, I HAD to order a FB! NOX is one of my faves, as is Teddy BB. I can't wait to sniff the newest brewing of this! It must be like languor in a bottle! I am elated! And just a personal observation..all of the oils change over time as they age, but in my opinion, I have never smelled one that aged quite as beautifully as the exquisite NOX, so give her some time and patience, and this liquid goddess really blooms, and when she does, it is nothing less than magick! The first time I ever smelled NOX, I got straight up cough medicine while new, but after having put it aside for a few months, I revisited it to check again and O...M...G.. it was true love.Thanks so much for rebrewing this, Mara! She is also a goddess of protection, and I use this oil for that as well. She envelopes you in the sweet darkness of night that she is, shielding you in her, velvety cloak. I would so love for Mara to make NOX an annual brew during colder months. Anyone else with me on this? Too many notes to ever accomplish the same creation as a PE.

Welcome!

Nutrix, I have paired it with a bit of OCCO Black and it is even more beautiful, in my opinion. It also works beautifully with either LFM or LFN! Just WOW!!! Between your considerable charms and those combos, the new fella won't stand a chance!

Thank you, luna! I realized this only minutes ago, and was on my way here to correct myself. Okay, everyone..please apply the above review to BEWITCHING HOUR! This is my brain in pre holiday stress mode. Please forgive my faux pas! Everthing that I wrote,I stand by...only again, with BEWITCHING HOUR in mind. LOLing @ myself, but really, so sorry for the confusion! Geesh!

So nice to hear other people's experiences with this one. It is so beautifully euphoric. After my accidental experience with it, I prompty ordered a bottle. I have only used it once as I never want to lose those effects by over using it. It's that precious to me. Also, I have been having on and off periods where my blood pressure runs dangerously low, (NOT phero related) and I am being excedingly cautious with respect to anything at all which might lower it even more. Have been through a battery of tests, and still have know answers. But back to Teddy BB...it's a beautiful thing!

Mara, may I please reserve 1 Tyvey's White Chocolate Rose and 1 Lisa's Golden Goddess? Thank you! And Rosebud, I agree with Dolly and Maililyahn. You are lovely! ETA: Mara, I apologize, but I am opting to release my hold on both of these, as funds are tighter than I had anticipated due to holiday gift buying, and am hoping to instead, purchase one more November release that I *really* need. Can't have everything we lust after so, please consider these available to those who might want them.

I so wanted to like this one, even though it contains Benzoin, which I KNOW is always sadly, a NO NO on me, and also Dragon's Blood, which is a tree bark resin and I KNOW I can't wear woody scents. But did THAT stop me from ordering a FB of this???? Nooooooo... I was so determined to MAKE it work! The blend is so wonderfully complex and fascinating! So many layers and so much depth! OK, lesson learned. Rose caan NOT will scents to work on her even if she is head over heels in love with the IDEA of them! Talk about a reality check!

It smelled beautiful and mysterious, in a very witchy sort of way, in the bottle ( which is a good part of why I wanted it so badly), but the minute Supernatural and my skin met, it was sadly, a head on collision in chemistry. This one is a winner imo, the problem is with my skin's PH, which is becoming curiouser and curiouser, seemingly with each passing day.

If you are looking for everything that I described above, complexity, depth, mystery, a touch of sorcery, and you have the PH to pull off these notes, then this is sure to be all that you hope for, and then some. But for me, alas... I fear not. I do encourage others to give it a try though, as this is one fascinating blend!

Hi there, everyone. I have been MIA online for a bit, but just have to compliment this beautiful looking selection! And OMG! A new version of me beloved NOX!!! Mara, have I told you lately how much you rock? No, I haven't, so it's time i said it again NOW! Mara, you rock!!! ETA luna, Once I calmed down from seeing all of the exciting new pheromas, I read the descriptions that you wrote more carefully. As always, so very nicely done!

Oh wow Mara, what a bunch of awesome offerings! I am so tempted ( wanted the Black Cat) but since I have 6 - 8 blank books that I have NOT been writing in, I have placed a ban on more blank books for myself! Because of my pinched nerve, writing has been a rather painful task anyway, so that will save me from myself!

Mara, just wanted to let you know that my package arrived safely! I just have to say that the glass heart ornament if even more beautiful in person. It is sort of a mauvey type pink with a lovely carnival glass sort of look to it in addition to the gold. *Beautiful*! I love it. And as always, thanks so much for the extras!

Now, I am even more intrigued! Can't wait!

LMAO tyvey! I would have loved to witness that super slow motion pirouette! Awesome!

I ordered this one. Went FB. I often have a problem with Benzoin, but there are so many other powerful notes, I am really hoping that I can pull it off. Review to come!

I wore this today and the scent itself is bright, warm and lusciously sweet. The Gotcha seemed to exert a very cheery and helpful demeanor in people. Many smiles, which I have found is not common to this area of New England at least. Also, an added spring in my step. Yay!

WOW!!! Amazing labels Mara and very intriguing names!

Well...You know how Lucky Charms cereal was supposed to be magically delicious? (I personally never saw the charm of Lucky Charms). Ambrosia of Eros does its name justice by being f@#&ably delicious!

Mara! These are some lovely weenies! But I know you love Halloween and rock it! luna, your descriptions were a delight to read, so seasonally apropos. I know what I will be ordering, and no, I am not telling. LOL. Such fun!

Well hi there, LexiJoe and welcome!

Well the good news is that Mercury goes direct on the 9th! So sorry for everyone experiencing problems!

Can't wait! And loving your new avi, luna!

Welcome! You will love it here.

Welcome!

I am a 60/40 alcohol/oil fan, myself. For me, it is entirely a personal quirk about texture. For some reason, I really personally dislike the texture of silicone. I love the oils. Even when I paint, I love the texture of oils, so rich and sensual. It's just a me thing.
