ambrée, temple incense, rose
Aged woods line the temple entrance to the underworld, the aroma of sandalwood and fragrant smoke rising to meet you. Adorned with roses, you enter the chamber of secrets—and emerge the embodiment of Venus.
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.
