The perfume for the winter holidays is a heart-warming mélange of incense and woods, with fir and pine needles and warm spices. The luxurious heart notes - absolutes of orange blossom, jasmine and rose - create a departure from the common festive aromas. The result is a perfume that is fresh, natural, rich and extremely festive.

Botanical incense pastilles designed for each one of the seven ancient planets. 

This series of these resin-based, monastery-style incense pastilles is the result of close to 20 years of researching the botanical symbolism and alchemical traditions of each planet, and creating the best depiction of these planetary energies. These unique incense pastilles can be acquired individually (10g a jar) or as a "medicine for the soul" pillbox for each day of the week and its ruling planet. 

SUN
Healing energy of warmth, light and vitality. 
Sweet and warm blend of frankincense, rose, cinnamon, saffron and chamomile. 
Burn on Sundays or in the morning, to bring in light to your day. 

MOON
The moon is ever-changing and is most closely related to the feminine cycles of life and renewal. Waxing, full moon and waning moons have different energies, of beginning, culmination and ending respectively. Cool and mysterious blend of black copal, camphor, artemisia, jasmine and sandalwood.  
Burn on Mondays, or when there is a new moon.  

MARS
The red planet is often misunderstood: it has a reputation of war and destruction; yet it is in fact a planet of great healing powers. Destruction is often necessary for renewal to take place. Mars is also responsible for keeping our boundaries and therefore promotes assertiveness and gives protection.  
Blend of the exotic and potent Dragon's Blood, rose geranium, cloves, tobacco, benzoin and costus root. 
Burn on Tuesdays or whenever you feel vulnerable and need some extra courage. 

MERCURY
The messenger of the Gods is also the communicator. Keep your communication channels open and free to receive, and make your messages loud and clear! 
Blend of clear and elegant resins to carry your messages and bring down the answers you seek, including mastic and elemi, with a touch of citrus and mimosa. 
Burn on Wednesdays, or whenever you need to improve the area of communication (both on the sending and receiving end) in your life.

JUPITER
The bringer of luck and peace, Jupiter is the teacher and healer, the forest dwelling centaur who communicates with plants. 
Blend of piñon pine resin, star anise, juniper berries and sage. 
Burn on Thursday or before teaching or seeking plant wisdom. 

VENUS
The beauty queen of the planets, Venus is the darling of most planet-gazers, yet has more depth to it than meets the eye. Playfulness, freshness, beauty and love and all that is joyous in life must not be forgotten, especially for the serious types among us. 
Blend of sweet amber and sharp green notes of galbanum and wild-crafted vitex and myrtle. 
Burn on Fridays and whenever your life requires an extra helping of beauty, sweetness and softness.  

SATURN
Ironically, the harshness of reality hits when reaching the planet that is furthest away from earth. Saturn is often perceived as our challenges, burdened with rigidity and stiffness. On the other hand, it is through this strict form that our innermost intentions will manifest. 
Saturn's incense is deep with dark myrrh resin, cedar, cypress, patchouli, cassia, vetiver, agarwood and a touch of honey to balance its heaviness. 
Burn on Saturdays, or when you require grounding, material wealth, support as well as discipline to achieve your goals.  

Velvety, deep aromas of aniseed notes with a warm base of woods and iris along with cool, green notes of violet leaf and boronia create an unusual, mysterious perfume of extreme individuality: enigmatic and reflective as the sky after sunset.

Notes: Amber, Anise Seed, Boronia Carnation, Frankincense , Himalaya Cedarwood Neroli (Tunisia), Orris Root, Tarragon (Estragon)

Top notes: Anise, Neroli, Tarragon 

Heart notes: Boronia, Carnation, Orris Butter

Kyphi Galilee is a contemporary interpretation of Ancient Egyptian Kyphi recipes, using local ingredients. In addition to the traditional resins that make Kyphi such a soothing balm for the soul, vibrant vegetation and unusual botanicals were used: wild herbs such as myrtle and bay leaves, water mint, sage blossoms, fig leaves and fig wood, vitex berries and many more. The result is a very lively green yet soothingly sweet kyphi that has the life-giving energy of a river lush with vegetation. 

The majority of the ingredients were organically grown in my own garden, or wild-crafted. Each raw material was ground separately, then they are all compounded together in a mixture of myrtle and arbutus berries (which were used in lieu of the traditional raisins) soaked in local wine and wild honey. This not only binds together the ingredients but also creates an alchemical process that truly transforms the aroma of the incense and creates a heavenly smoke when burnt on a charcoal. It can also be used by placing on an aromatherapy diffuser (place on a piece of aluminum foil to prevent it from sticking to your diffuser).
