The Labyrinth was one of my favorite movies and the first I can remember ever watching. When I began blending a variety of geranium essences that I have been collecting, the whimsical yet slightly disturbing atmosphere of this movie came to mind. I continued blending in fresh, bright verveine and lavender that a friend brought me back from France, then added an especially dark and leathery oakmoss, creating a dark undertone that intensifies over time. The result is a blend that puts me in the same emotional state as this movie did - another realm that is both bright and dark and unpredictable, but curiosity and magic kept me drawn in.

Lunar Amulet for the July 8th, 2013 New Moon
I am so glad I have a few of these lunar amulet refills to put in the limited edition section of my Etsy shop... I think it would be difficult to find a scent this strange anywhere else. This is inspired by hot stones, shells, and clay baking in the sunlight. The warmth lifts off it as dry, powdery musk stays close to the skin. Pure essences of roasted seashells and ambergris conjure a rocky beach with all the fossils that have washed to shore and dried.
