 Marisol Roll-on
a blend of bergamot, petitgrain, grapefruit & lavender essential oils in a base of fractionated coconut, grapeseed and jojoba oils. The effect is bright and warm at the same time, herbaceously and woodily green. It is named for a little girl I know, but is actually a unisex scent.

Patchouli, Plain & Simple Roll-On
You don't have
to be smoking weed out of a wizard bong to appreciate the musky
warmth of patchouli-- and this particular patchouli is *amazing*.
It's rich and earthy in a way that, to me, recalls the batiking
houses of yogyakarta (they smell smoky with beeswax and dye, and for some reason I associate the scents) more than it does any college dorm or health
food co-op (no offense to either. i have frequented both!). I love it. There. I said it. I love patchouli (now you can say it, too).
This one lingers.

Kopi Manis Roll-on
While I'm on the topic of scents I associate with Indonesia, allow me
to share with you this coffee scent. This is the real deal: natural
plant oils blended with the absolute extracted from Javanese coffee
beans and a touch of exotic natural vanilla. The scent is rich and warm and familiar, and yet far from
sleepy. Keep it by your workstation for an aromatic "black coffee" pick-me-up anytime
of day.

Lorelei Roll-On
This is a natural floral perfume of lavender, ylang-ylang and Indian palmarosa essential oils that is neither overtly girly or overly sweet. The herbaceous notes of the lavender temper the sweetness of the ylang-ylang, and the palmarosa tips the fragrance up with a note that is both rose-like and slightly spicy. A harmonious blend, and one of my personal favorites.

Lemonita Roll-On
Can you tell I'm partial to citrus scents in perfumes? This one is one of my hands-down favorites, with the brightness of lemon mellowed and enhanced with the lovely, rose-like feminity of rose-geranium. (out of stock)

Rose is rose is rose Roll-On
Rose. Perhaps played-out a bit in our great-grandmothers' day, true rose is resurging-- and I for one, am so pleased. Not only is it truly a beautifully formed plant in bloom, it has a tradition of medicinal use that stretches back through history and across the world (when people were fighting over everything from Helen's hand to whether the world was flat, they nevertheless agreed that roses are horticultural royalty). The natural plant essences of roses have long been recognized in aromatherapy as being calming, balancing, and slightly aphrodisiac in nature. They're also used widely in herbal folk medicine for a variety of skin and hormonal ailments. For now, though, let's just smell them. This roll-on features absolute of rosa damascena-- terrifically expensive, but so, so worth it. Real rose. You won't find it often.
I need to keep my eyes open for co-ops on the stuff, b/c it is surreal in its aroma, use... and, unfortunately, its price.
$10/0.33 oz. very limited quantities, made to order .
