Flora Luna ~ May's Aromatic Muse Perfume

 

May is truly a profusion of flowers here. It is exalted. It is riveting. It is gorgeous.

Flora Luna is inspired by the plentitude and sensuality of the exploding flora in May, and by her aptly named moon: Full Flower Moon.

She is a rich, classic floral, opening with a gown of Neroli blossom and Frangipani, taking you immediately into the garden of nectar and divine feminine soul.

Turkish Rose, Elder flower  and a touch of Orange blossom absolute harmonize the florals with a little zesty brightness and a soft honey nuance.

The depth and peace of Sandalwood bring complexity and warmth to the experience, while a subtle drop of vetiver rounds the whole blend into a lingering melody of floral bliss.

Flora Luna is well used to call into your life what you wish to flower. What sweetness do you desire to express? Harvest? What beauty feeds your spirit?

Anoint during ceremony, before painting flowers, while daydreaming, before dancing, and of course to inspire your Muse. Use freely and joyously. It is a memorable perfume.

Presenting: The Aromatic Muse. An Olfactory Adventure for You

Amrita Aromatics Presents:

~ The Aromatic Muse ~

:: An Olfactory Adventure ::

for you

A year in exquisite, unique natural perfumes: 

their pleasure, their guidance, their healing, and their inspirations.

A portal of sensory herbal healing, rooted in adoration for, and connection with, our Mother Earth.

Botanical Perfumes are the pinnacle of what I call Pleasure Medicine.

Botanical perfumes Amplify your intentions!

Botanical perfumes inspire your art.

Through scent we imprint memory, provoke change, ignite passion, and invoke magic in a pleasureful way. Through our senses and imagination we can deepen our experience of life, and connect more directly to our intuition, creativity, and spiritual source. Through somatic experience we connect on the most primal level to our bodies and the body of mother earth. We believe again that we are beautiful, worthy, and abundant, and can affect change in a powerful way. 

Botanical perfume is an aromatic mantra. Used rhythmically and intentionally, we can affirm our self-care, our self-devotion, and rebuild trust in our senses as wise informants. We create strong relationship and synergy between our guiding forces and logical brain.

By enrolling in the Aromatic Adventure, you are opening up to new possibilities of transformational healing, energy, confidence, personal power, and luscious, inspiring narrative. You will also be inviting in mystery and surprise in the form of pleasure and beauty that is the expression and pulse of Nature herself.

Enroll for the whole year, or choose the monthly pay plan. Your choice.

Each month’s aromatic treasure will be accompanied by a brief narrative sent via email. It will highlight some of the notes in the blend, the inspiration behind it, and relevant offerings and invitations of play or engagement for you to explore. Or perhaps it will offer lyrics or poetry instead.

This adventure is an experiential immersion in natural perfume as I deepen and sharpen my practice. It is your opportunity to experience exclusive, unique, thought provoking, handcrafted aromatics and their muses, and to use them to deepen your passions and your skills on a daily basis, at a discounted cost than what the perfumes will be listed for.

My perfumes have been known to span the breadth of interest; from voluptuous rose-vetiver, to chocolate ambrette accords, to bright herbal anointing blends, shamanic unguents, aromatherapy formulas, medicinal blends, and aphrodisiac oils of many variety. Every concoction is carefully handcrafted with the highest quality ingredients available to me. 

Each month you will receive one handcrafted natural perfume to awaken your senses and connect your mind, heart, and body. It will be a fragrant adventure!

In your package you might find any one of the following…..

A perfume oil roll on

An anointing oil for spiritual purposes

An alcohol based perfume extrait

Botanical Anointing Perfume

:: Limited Edition :: 

~For rites of spring, tree magic, fairy play, and the blessing of sacred objects.~

A velvety, sensual anchor of Amber accords, awakened by tree sprites and yummy, bright Wintergreen, beckons you deeper into the sun dappled, freshly thawed woods. Mellowing into a sweet floral heart of the lushest Bulgarian Rose otto, one's heart opens to the expanses of connection and the sentience of your earthly surroundings.

A little later, after frolicking in the moss, grapevines, and flowering understory, and discovering hidden treasures in the woods, a svelte, chameleon-like drydown of Tonka bean brings the senses and spirit home.  

Poplar bud  infused jojoba oil creates a magical and aromatic base for this delicious, enchanted perfume.

Plant Journeys: The Portal of the Senses

The Portal of the Senses

Romancing the Plants

~~~~~

I can’t seem to keep my nose out of anything. I smell my friends, my kitchen mugs, my mail, my cat ….. I may as well have born with whiskers. My sense of smell is on equal footing with the rest of my senses. Even though it doesn't drive my car or find my keys when they’re lost, they are without a doubt navigating me through life.

As I kneel by the cold rushing river with the newly warmed rays of sun beating down on my winter skin, I let the world enter my body. I deeply Inhale the effervescence of the humid air, I feel the resins lured from the bark by the warmth and reach wide from the tree trunks as if to court the fairies with their perfume, the earthly expressions of the moment speak to me in a wordless language. I am touched by the elements; the air in my eyelashes, the moss warming in my hand, the humming of stone, the secrets of the soil. Animated in my nerves is the life force of the land.

My pulse, perhaps synchronizing with the memories of drums or churning of magma. My iron blood hears stories in the rocks. Medicine drips, milky and bitter, from collected stems, sticking unapologetically to my fingers. Cleavers tags along on my hem, while thorns give warning to slow down. Soggy leaves hide waking pupa. It still might snow. It would be a cruel thing for the fruit trees, but humbling yet again for us two-leggeds with the curse of hubris. In the meantime, my mouth gives health orders:  green, yellow, sharp, salty, sour and bitter! I listen. I eat.

In the same way my eyes feast on flowers and my skin drinks in rivers, my skin dessert is touch and my emotions ride the waves of ecstasy through plant oils. Delicate honeyed Elder flowers, sexy Jasmine absolute, the enlightenment of Rose attar, and the seduction of a good, dark patchouli. I’m servant to the muse and the nuance of emotional evocation. Goddesses call to me, stories write themselves, images dance in my mind. My heart pumps and moves closer to the little bottles of heaven, asking for more. More linden, more fir, more amber. Yes.

Rapture of the senses lets me sink. Beyond the forces of duty, of chore, of old wounds. Sinking like a shaman’s journey down a wet root into a sacred spring where the wise woman waits. She touches my throat with her herbal wand, invites me to rest my burdens in the salty pool. Gems and singing minerals glisten as I breathe. I breathe in the memories of Juniper. The touch of tulsi on my arms and legs. The splash of the water ceremony and lingering smoke of palo santo. Memories of Artemisia bundles and blue glass bowls and women shivering and hugging and laughing. Sandalwood oil soft on my feet helps me stand. I’m wrapped in a warm flax blanket and handed a blank book, with a wooden pencil. In my portal, through my senses, I am taught, healed, loved, touched, safe, connected, and ripe with possibility. Experience becomes play, skill flirts with luck, and joy sneaks up on me often.

"Hands down, one of my top five favorite perfumes ever. An exquisite botanical balm by the equally exquisite Ananda Lakshmi Wilson. The honey notes in this creation are especially remarkable. ~goes back to sniffing wrist~." 

- Kiva Rose, Folk Herbalist, Anima Center
~~~

Nymphaea is a decidedly feminine botanical perfume balm, carefully handcrafted and poured into a hand carved rosewood box. Concretes, attars, absolutes and oils are blended perfectly to illuminate the sweetness and round floral exaltation of Jasmine and Neroli, with none of the frequently unpleasant and aromatic conflicts of these two commanding flower queens.

Soft and gentle yet with beautiful holding power, Nymphaea lingers like a sensory dream ~ recalling visions of water lily encounters, romantic interludes under moonlit Jasmine vines, divinely joyful moments of belonging, and gracefully entwines the worlds of flower erotica and human devotion.

While each note plays an integral role in the perfume composition, they are there to hold, melt, highlight, and enrich the relationship of Jasmine and Neroli, the principal notes.
