Nevertheless, She Persisted Perfume Oil

She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.
A rallying call: golden oudh, frankincense, iris, and steel. Proceeds from this scent benefit EMILY’s List, an organization that supports electing pro-choice Democratic women to office.

Spiced Rum Buttercream Coffee Perfume Oil
Add to cartToday, the Trump administration announced that they will be reinstating the US military ban on transgender people. This policy not only affects the livelihoods of thousands upon thousands of transgender military personnel, but also paves the way for further acts of bigotry and hate in our government and communities.
We are hosting an emergency fundraiser for our friends at the National Center for Transgender Equality and for the American Civil Liberties Union. The two scents that are going live are being pulled from a future coffee-themed update that was slated for 2018. I specifically chose these scents because they are cheery and uplifting – without the usual highly-specific socio-political context that we attached to many of our fundraiser scents – in the hopes that it will sell well and sell quickly so that we can be as effective as possible in helping out. Help us take an immediate stand to fight this unconstitutional, immoral, and unnecessarily cruel ban.
Even if you choose not to make a purchase, please consider donating to or volunteering with the NCTE and / or ACLU. Stand with the transgender community, and be a compassionate and hard-working ally to all marginalized groups whose civil rights, livelihood, happiness, health and well-being are being trampled by this administration.
Coffee and rum laced with allspice, nutmeg, clove, star anise, cardamom, and cinnamon gently whipped into buttercream.

Obergefell V. Hodges Perfume Oil
Add to cartIn celebration of the 9th anniversary of the Supreme Court case that brought “equal dignity in the eye of the law” to same-sex marriages, we present our latest fundraiser scent, Obergefell v. Hodges. With this landmark 2015 decision, SCOTUS upheld that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This decision meant that all states had to allow same-sex marriages, and recognize those performed in other states.
No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.
Love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family: sun-warmed purple fig, wildflower honey, almond cream, jasmine absolute, mimosa, and bourbon vanilla.The proceeds from OvH benefit Lambda Legal, whose team of pro-bono lawyers fight for LGBTQIA+ civil rights cases including issues of marriage equality, healthcare and employment discrimination, and gender identity.

Proceeds from the sale of scents in the Collected Poetic Works of Antonin Scalia benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Trevor Project, and the National Center for Transgender Equality.

This scent is more complex than I’d predicted, and absolutely gorgeous. Airy and sharp by turns, holy and grounded from one moment to the next, it’s perfect for a woman with a backbone (or sword) of steel and the weight of her convictions behind her. Or for anyone who supports such a woman.

Very incense-y on me- I don’t get any floral at all. It’s not for me but it’s not bad, either.

When wet, there’s a bit of a sickly scent to it. On dry down, that fades completely and it’s a light resin-y, incense-y, floral. It’s pretty, but it doesn’t stand out as anything spectacular on my skin. I agree that it does have a medieval vibe and would be great for RP.

Probably my favorite scent I’ve ever recieved. It starts off !lmost brash and offensive, the Golden oudh overpowering the other notes. Once it dries, it melds into a sweet and powerful musk, the flowers and steel coming through gorgeously. 10/10.

I don’t normally go for floral scents, but I *had* to give this a try! In the bottle, it smells good. There’s something clean and no-nonsense about it. On skin, it burst with the layers of scent rather spectacularly, but then with my body chemistry it settled into the floral note, which overwhelmed all else. I don’t think this is a scent for me, but I know plenty of lovely, strong women who I might be able to gift it to, and I’m glad a little of the money for the purchase went to a good cause!
