Aphrodite
floral marine chypre, ambergris, rose, citrus, myrtle
Seductive florals dance upon the ocean’s wild waves, while the scent of fresh herbs and woodland secrets lines the salty shore. A true chypre emerges here, strong and sensual like the goddess herself.
This is a ceremonial-grade, natural perfume that may be used as both a daily fragrance and ritual aromatic.
Drawing from my decades of experience as a natural perfumer, wild priestess, and spiritual wisdom keeper, I intentionally selected the rare and potent plants in this blend to create a perfume that is both a work of art and elixir of transformation.

Middle Notes: rose, sweet blossoms, green myrtle, fresh herbs, cypress

*This is only a selection of the key notes. The actual perfume contains nearly 30 distinct essences.
A marine floral chypre dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite, this all-natural perfume is sensual, potent, and addictive.
As the goddess of love, sensuality, and beauty, Aphrodite has long been associated with fragrant and healing oils. Her birthplace, Cyprus, is also home to the world’s oldest large-scale perfumery, said to be over 4,000 years old. Aphrodite’s perfume is a seductive floral chypre, in honor of her origins.
Ingredients are sourced from ancient Cyprus, the Mediterranean, and known trading routes in order to create an authentic expression of Aphrodite’s cult in its prime.

Rituals:
Aphrodite is the divine embodiment of Venusian blessings, reminding us that beauty is life. Her reputation as a goddess of love has morphed within patriarchal society. In reality, she is a powerhouse of a deity, who always does things on her own terms, for her own pleasure and delight.
Call upon Aphrodite when you would like to connect with your innate beauty, sensuality, and pleasure. Aphrodite will guide you to embrace your inner goddess for your own sake, in ways that are authentic for you, as you claim the strength and vitality found in celebrating the beauty of life.
Spray and anoint your wrists, neck, sacral chakra, and heart with Aphrodite’s perfume. As you do, affirm:
I call upon the great goddess Aphrodite and receive her gifts of beauty and love. I gratefully accept her many blessings into my life.
I now release any sense of being unworthy of pleasure and love, and I allow myself to recognize the gifts of being in this human body.
I now invite more pleasure and beauty into my life. As my body and spirit guide me to the things, activities, and people who can fill me with joy, I embrace romance and love for all of life with a full heart.
