The Scented Djinn

The Scented Djinn is offering our newest soap, Sylvan Dreams, at The Scented Djinn Etsy Apothecary The base is a simple virgin olive, organic coconut, and coconut milk -- non-drying, super bubbly. The scent base is a forest lovers dream ~ rich in balsam fir, Virginia cedar and blood cedar enhanced by the oils of copaiba (antique), juniper berry, patchouli, cananga, black pepper and lemon.

Also included as an exfoliating agent are bits of crushed pine resin and Douglas fir pine needle tips. 3 - 3.25 oz bar ~ $4.50

Red Kyphi Protection Empowerment Psychic Doorway Prophetic Dreams    I've blogged about this kyphi at Oh True Apothecary blogspot since May 2013. First because it was coming along so beautifully, then because it began to work its magic. Made using the traditional techniques of the Ancient Egyptians, first golden raisins were soaked in red wine and gin (not so traditional, that gin bit), then over the course of a few weeks herbs were combined and soaked in red wine, then honey and frankincense and pinon pine resin were boiled to create a lovely thick fragrant incense syrup which was then added to the herbs and other resins until...

Hand Distilled Blood Orange Hydrosol   This is the first hydrosol I have created in a year, and the first of 2013. Made in my lovely copper al embic on very low heat, it took hours of distillation to create the lovely crystalline oil filled hydrosol that smells sweet and juicy and fresh. Since this orange oil and hydro was distilled and not cold pressed, it is safe to use in the sun! There are no issues of phototoxicity with distilled citrus. So spray away! In your hair, your face, neck, decolletage, bum, knees and toes. It makes for a refreshing light spring fragrance and rejuvenating aromatic toner. Whole fruit, including the juice and peel, were distilled to create this lovely hydrosol. 4 oz amber glass sprayer ...

The al embic was finally fired up and after hour after hour of excruciating drip, drip, drip, into sterile bottles, the lovely new hydrosol emerged ~ blood orange hydrosol, sweet and juicy and extremely fruity smelling. Since this orange oil and hydro was distilled and not cold pressed, it is safe to use in the sun! There are no issues of phototoxicity with distilled citrus. So spray away! In your hair, your face, neck, decolletage, bum, knees and toes. It makes for a refreshing light spring fragrance and rejuvenating aromatic spray.
