Kuan Yin
floral, magnolia, ginger, tea, sugar
Sweet florals and vanilla wrap themselves around you like a nurturing hug. A bouquet of East Asian aromas—yuzu, ginger, and green tea—are further elevated with white florals and perfectly grounded with precious ouds and sandalwoods.
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.
Top Notes: yuzu, ginger
Middle Notes: magnolia, green tea, white lotus
Base Notes: sandalwood, oud, vanilla
*This is only a selection of the key notes. The actual perfume contains dozens of distinct essences.

a perfume for the bodhisattva goddess of mercy and compassion
Kuan Yin is a most benevolent, gentle, and kind goddess. While she can help us find mercy in our hearts for others, her most expansive gifts help us find compassion for ourselves. This goddess sees our humanness—our struggles, our mistakes, our joys, and our hearts. And she loves us for all of it. For anyone who would like to bring more compassion into their life, for yourself or others, Kuan Yin will offer her blessings.
Magical Highlights:
Ginger and rose—a potent combination in Taoist aromatherapy, connected to mothering, as Kuan Yin is a benevolent mother to all living beings
Green tea—to honor the land Kuan Yin hails from
Magnolia—a sweet, feminine flower symbolizing longevity, for the unending love Kuan Yin offers
A precious woods accord with oud, sandalwood, ho wood, and more—for the soft strength of standing in compassion
Rituals:
Call upon Kuan Yin whenever you feel alone, are judging yourself too harshly, or life seems too difficult to handle. She’ll bless you with grace and compassion, softening any pain. You can also call upon Kuan Yin when you wish to become more compassionate and forgiving, toward yourself or others.
Anoint or spray your wrists, neck, and heart with Kuan Yin’s perfume. As you do, affirm:
I call upon the great goddess Kuan Yin and accept her sweet blessings into my life.
I now release any judgement or unforgiveness I’ve been carrying in my heart. I release any sense of unworthiness or feeling that life does not support me.
With Kuan Yin’s benevolent grace, I accept the love of the universe into my heart. I allow her to soften the challenges of life, so that I may rest and be held in tender compassion.
As I become more compassionate toward myself, I become more compassionate toward others. Heart and empathy guide my way.
