Persephone Perfume Oil
$6.25 – $25.00
Daughter of Jove, almighty and divine, come, blessed queen, and to these rites incline:
Only-begotten, Pluto’s honor’d wife, O venerable Goddess, source of life:
‘Tis thine in earth’s profundities to dwell, fast by the wide and dismal gates of hell:
Jove’s holy offspring, of a beauteous mien, Praxidike, with lovely locks, infernal queen:
Source of the Eumenides, whose blest frame proceeds from Jove’s ineffable and secret seeds:
Mother of Eubouleos, Sonorous, divine, and many-form’d, the parent of the vine:
The dancing Horai attend thee, essence bright, all-ruling virgin, bearing heav’nly light:
Illustrious, horned, of a bounteous mind, alone desir’d by those of mortal kind.
O, vernal queen, whom grassy plains delight, sweet to the smell, and pleasing to the sight:
Whose holy form in budding fruits we view, Earth’s vig’rous offspring of a various hue:
Espous’d in Autumn: life and death alone to wretched mortals from thy power is known:
For thine the task according to thy will, life to produce, and all that lives to kill.
Hear, blessed Goddess, send a rich increase of various fruits from earth, with lovely Peace;
Send Health with gentle hand, and crown my life with blest abundance, free from noisy strife;
Last in extreme old age the prey of Death, dismiss we willing to the realms beneath,
To thy fair palace, and the blissful plains where happy spirits dwell, and Pluto reigns.
Pomegranate and rose.

Ava Perfume Oil
Add to cartIt’s always a bit weird with family. A scant two-hundred years old, there doesn’t seem to be anything that roots Ava to her past. Her scent is utterly contemporary, and, like her personality, it is impulsive, capricious, and dangerous. Voluptuous and brittle, lovely and toxic: sheer vanilla musk with tuberose, red mandarin, and the sweet poison of white almond.

Shango Perfume Oil
Select Options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageThe Wrath of God, the Most Beautiful Lord of Lightning, the Owner of All Palaces. He is the illumination of a lightning strike in the night sky, and is the retributive strike of the rightful king. Shango punishes those who are not living up to their responsibilities. He gives insight to the truth in all circumstances, and is the essence of the thrill and excitement in life that makes every day worth living. To love Shango is to live life to the fullest, no matter what pains the world inflicts upon you. He is Wrath, and his lightning bolts and gouts of fire remind all of his strength and power. It is said that Lord Shango only speaks to his children once; when the God illuminates an answer for you, you had best understand with no further questions. Shango is trial by fire, the honing and refinement of the spirit, the ability to distinguish between truth and lies. He is a dual-faced God: King and Exile, miser and philanthropist, just and ruthless, honest and devious. Shango is the Lord of Persuasion, and his glib tongue can intimidate, coerce, sway and seduce. He is quick wit, articulate words, and the ability to think on one’s feet. He is the King that can incite and enflame the masses with the power of his speech. His words are the sensual murmurs of the lothario, the slick wheedle of the grifter, the convincing argument of the barrister, the dangerous charm of the pimp, the inspiration of the warrior general, and the invigorating exhortations of the monarch. The Roar of Shango is a Universal Truth. Shango governs all professions that cater to the needs and weaknesses of the people. He is the absolute and perfect Male creature, and the rain that falls to earth is His blessed, sublime semen, giving life to the world. His abundant seed washes the land and replenishes Earth’s seas, rivers and oceans. He sneers at cowardice, and demands that all of his children have daring spirits, strength of will, nerve and *balls*. Courage is of the utmost importance, as it empowers us to face adversity with dignity and enables us to act decisively and with resourcefulness. Live, don’t simply exist. Shango’s gifts make it possible for us to find the shortest distance between two points, wring out the best from every situation, recover from every seeming loss and every defeat, and defy all odds to reach our goals. He teaches us wily strategies, masterful tactics, and shows us the value of friendship and camaraderie. His is the comfortable, casual friendship found in just hanging out and having a good time with the guys. Shango is Challenge, the concept of finding the best parts of yourself through conflict and adversity. Shango’s weapon is the double-headed axe, and His animals are the black cat and the leopard.
The Master of Lightning’s ofrenda contains red apples, banana, chili pepper, coconut, pineapple, pomegranate and sugar cane.

I received this as a free imp. Not knowing what the notes were or anything about it, it smelled like sweet lemon in the bottle, and then olive oil and lemon on my skin. After a half hour it smells like olive oil and hints of rose on my skin. I don’t know if this scent just isn’t working well with my sniffer, my chemistry, or what. I’ll try shaking it up (forgot to do that) and let my husband smell and let ya’ll know if the pomegranate or rose get stronger than the lemon and carrier oil.

Opens with a scent of ripe pomegranates bursting with flavor while wet. As it dries, a pleasant bouquet of roses comes forward, however, the pomegranate takes a backseat the longer it dries and I’m left with a powdery rose scent with just a hint of pomegranate juice.

This smells AMAZING. May be my new favorite perfume.

A favourite. Uplifting sweet scent with a tartness softened by romantic rose.

Sweet and juicy while wet, giving way to tart rose on the dry-down. Persephone reminds me of a scratch-and-sniff rose sticker in a book I had as a kid: unquestionably rosy, but with an added tanginess to make it more fun. I would call this scent more flirtatious than sexy, more daytime than nighttime.

I like this one. I picked it as an imp and what I noticed was a sort of powdery smell, which I presume was the rose. The pomegranate picked up in the middle of the day and faded away on me towards the evening, leaving a light, fresh scent. Pick this one if you like the smell of cosmetics and sweetness.

This used to be my favorite scent. The rose and the pomegranate blended together to make a lovely daytime scent, and the rose note stayed quite a while on me. But, something in my body chemistry changed *glares at new bc pills* and now it smells like powdery roses and Sweet tarts. It’s not horrible. But, it’s not the sexy fragrance it once was. YMMV Everyone’s body reacts to scents differently.

Persephone was definitely a delicate floral scent, and it wore very well on me. The rose was the most noticeable scent, but overall it was a light, young floral that didn’t seem too “old lady” like so many floral perfumes seem to me. It reminded me just a little of my favorite non-BPAL perfume, Love’s Baby Soft, so if you’re a fan of that but looking for something with a bit more flower power, Persephone would be a great scent to try.

I’m not particularly fond of rose scents, but I received an imp of Persephone in my most recent order and decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the pomegranate note balanced the rose note creating a juicy tart rose. Don’t get me wrong it is still a “rose” perfume, but rose scents usually scream “grandma” to me, but the juiciness of Persephone feels fresher, younger. I’m still not sure if this is fully bottle worthy, so I’m going to keep the imp and sample it again. Overall, this is a fresh, bright, uber girly scent. Very pretty with great longevity.

Tangy fruity in the bottle, and still so upon application. Rose emerges while drying. The pomegranate seems to be preventing the usual powdery quality of rose, keeping it bright and sharp. The floral mixed with tangy red fruit remind me of hibiscus tea. Dry, the pomegranate is barely detectable on its own, having stepped back to boost the rose with a hint of juiciness.
