New Kyphi ~ Lavender Kyphi Supreme

This kyphi is not yet complete. The Scented Djinn is in the process of creating a lush, sweet lavender based kyphi incense which should be ready in about a month or so (six weeks, perhaps). Kyphi, once finished with the formulating, takes a few weeks to mature, sometimes not reaching its full aromatic potential for months, even years! It is the most amazing incense the world has to offer. So save up your ducats and keep an eye on the blog, or the Facebook page, or the Etsy Apothecary for the introduction of Lavender Kyphi Supreme.

Farat Eau de Toilette

Farat is a sweet spring themed eau de toilette featuring notes of jasmine, rose, neroli, lavender and bergamot, with rare notes of Buddha's hand citron and a lovely vegetal musk. Petitgrain and spices round out this precious scent. Served in three sizes: 15 ml spray, 10 ml roll-on, and 3 ml sample spray.

A New Perfume Is Born

It's been a while since The Scented Djinn has presented an entirely new perfume. Years, in fact. This newest perfume offering is, we think, quite beautiful. Farat eau de Toilette ~ with notes of rare Buddha's hand citron, bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, rustic herbs and exotic spices, lush florals of jasmine and rose, and soft, warm musk. Watch for the announcement here when the perfume comes up for sale at The Scented Djinn Etsy Apothecary. We will be offering this perfume in 1/3 oz roll-on bottles, and 15 ml (1/2 oz) fine mist sprays.

Business Rant

Perhaps I'm biting off more than I can chew here (and I probably am), but I'm a little peeved that some customers don't leave feedback at The Scented Djinn's Etsy store after their purchase. Perhaps it's a case of being too nice to criticize, which is okay! Truly. If you are unhappy with your purchase, a private message and a workable solution is preferred over a full-on negative review in a public forum. I realize that not all my wares are your cup of tea, and that sometimes they may arrive in a 'defective' state, but I am willing to fix it if it's broken. On the other hand, if you're pleased, why not say so? Where it counts. On the Etsy reviews page. Every bit matters as I spend zero dollars on advertising. I'd much rather put my money back into the quality of the products I offer. It seems a much smarter disbursement of funds. Show your love. I'll show you mine in the goodies you buy. *How to leave feedback on Etsy. Go to '

Atay and Puck's Love Juice ~ Perfumes for Valentine

Atay unfolds on the skin like a blossoming flower, opening with notes of crisp ginger and bergamot with hints of cassia, then slowly undulates toward a rich, creamy, honied floral with soft rounded notes of seductive sandalwood and dark bitter tea, ending with delicious vanilla tinged honey and tuberose and more creamy santal. Made with a year-old tincture of organic China green Yunnan Jade Supreme, a black tea absolute and cabreuva wood co-blend, an aged tincture of Swedish bee goo concentrate, fresh ginger, bergamot, ginger lily, cassia, tuberose, santal and vanilla Bourbon. 15 ml roll on bottle ~ $54.00 "And the imperial votaress passed on, In maiden meditation, fancy-free. Yet marked I where the bold of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound., And maidens call it Love-in-idleness." Oberon "I'll put a girdle round about the earth In forty minutes!" Puck Puck finds the western flow

Rosemary (Cineole) Soap With Arnica Flower Absolute

A photo of the finished soap, and the process by which it was created, was going to be posted here for our clients, but both our cameras (both!) have died and the chargers cannot be located. It's a real problem. New chargers have been ordered and photos of The Scented Djinn's creations will follow. In the meantime, please feast your sensory organs here: Rosemary Arnica Flower Handmade Natural Soap ~ made with virgin olive oil, expeller-pressed grapeseed oil, and coconut oil, with a dollop of delicious coconut cream, scented with Tunisian rosemary (cineole ~ eucalyptus/camphor) and arnica flower absolute.
