The Scented Djinn

Words fail, yeah. The scent is deep, deep, deep ~ floral, rosy, earthy, herbal. It expands and breathes like a living thing. Go check it out at The Scented Djinn Etsy Apothecary .

Hurrem Anointing Oil lies somewhere between an elixir and a perfume oil ~ not really meant for use on the face, but can be used to moisturize the neck and decollete, and really nicely scented so that it can be used as a light perfume. Anoint the skin behind your ears, at your wrists, the inside of your elbow, the backs of your knees. This is a beautifully scented nuzzling oil made in organic jojoba, virgin olive and virgin organic coconut oils, and scented lemon, pink pepper, cilantro, ho wood, palmarosa, geranium, petitgrain, oakmoss, mountain misery, Himalayan cedarwood, muhuhu, ambrette and patchouli. 10 ml corked bottle

The still notes have vanished and now these three lovely hydrosols are ready for your enjoyment ~ Frankincense boswellia carterii hydrosol, home-distilled January 2009 Cucumber cucumis sativa hydrosol, home-distilled June 2009, and Peppermint mentha x piperita hydrosol, home-distilled from homegrown peppermint June 2009

As you may have noticed, none of The Scented Djinn scrubs are -- um -- scented. They're dry scrubs, most of them, and that's to protect the integrity of the scrub. You add the honey, the floral hydrosol, the water, the oil, to create your own unique experience. This little scrub is made with some great ingredients I found, loads of organic cane sugar, some Anardano pomegranate powder (fresh, fresh, fresh!), pretty little dried blue violets ground to a fine powder, and more of that great, sparkling purple forbidden rice.

I've gone crazy, right? Possibly . . . Offering up these two salty, scrubby, fun new products over at The Scented Djinn Etsy Apothecary. Buy 'em both in this kit and save $1.50 off the single item sale, plus a little off the shipping.

These soaps are nearly solid salt and clay, lather nicely, smell pretty good, too, but they look like bricks! Made with extra virgin olive oil, virgin coconut oil, mango butter, Bolivian rose salt, Moroccan red clay, coconut milk, and scented with vetyver and a little bit of pink grapefruit essential oils. I made this one for my friend who has acne and has been treating it with medication from a doctor and some over-the-counter stuff that smells awful, but when I gave her a sliver of Anastasia's salt soap (over at eleneetha's shop at Etsy), she washed with it and within two days, the acne cleared up again! Without the meds and the stinky drug store stuff. So she asked if I could make her a salt soap, and I said yeah, sure, no problem. Here's the soap, and yes, I'm saving a couple bars for my friend.

Another member of the Harem Skincare line here at The Scented Djinn Etsy Apothecary, Mahidevran Elixir is made in a base of organic pumpkin seed oil and extra virgin olive oil, with hints of vintage Mysore sandalwood and aged myrrh essential oil. 6 mls for $6.50

This is a totally new product made with loads of really great detoxifying ingredients ~ Bolivian rose salt (from the Andes mountains), dark, rich Arabica coffee freshly ground to retain all of its lovely oils and essence, blue juniper berries, and Moroccan red clay. A great little foot scrub that doubles as a masque, just soak your feet in plain warm water for about 5 minutes, pour a little of the Bolivian Rose Salt & Juniper Foot Scrub into the palm of your hand, make a paste of it with some of your foot bath water, then rub it over the heels of your feet, between your toes, on the top of your feet, and let it sit there a bit, about a minute or two, then rinse it off and slather on some foot butter or coconut oil. Pretty, pretty feet! 50 grams for $10.50 ~ go get you some! And don't forget to visit the Etsy shop for other great items and the big BLOW OUT SALE!
