Lilac, jasmine, and twilight. This smells darkly purple floral, and as if you were essentially in sitting on a porch on a summer's night on a Southern plantation (never been, but this is what I imagine it smells like).

Mossy sandalwood, very fresh and green. Perfect for autumn, and if you're a swamp creature, this would be for you.

Moonlit amber fur, basmati rice, and champaca absolute.

Nutty toasty rice (reminds me to rice pudding), and amber. This smells delicious and comfy, and its amazingly good. Love it.

Red amber, leather, and a whiff of lavender. This is amber-leather blend, with the lavender softening it up a bit, but its still very tough girl. Tiger Mom indeed!

Lavender incense with a whiff of plum. This one smells like a magical forest incense type. Great throw and wear length.

Plummy fig with nutmeg. This smells like the inside of a baked fig newton type baked good. Delicious. Low throw, medium wear length.

Soft comforting white tea, chamomile, and a whiff of amber fur. This definitely smells comforting. Medium throw and wear length.

Clear glassy strawberry and a whiff of vanilla musk. Sweet, girly, fruit. Good throw and wear length.

This smells like deliciously spiced coffee with cream. If you've ever had Ethiopian coffee, this is what it reminds me of. Take some chai + coffee, and this is delicious. Medium throw and wear length.

Pine, birch, whiff of eucalyptus, and musk. This smells like you've been rubbing yourself with pine sap. Medium throw and wear length.

This one is a great incensy blend. The brimstone brings some smokiness and the impression that this is burning, but in general it just smells like clean incense. Good throw and wear length.

Pom, peach on a bed of geranium. This one smells dark and spicy, with just enough peach to keep it bright. Medium throw and wear length.

Chocolate, rosemary, sugar, and a whiff of herbs. This one is an herby sort of chocolate, sugary, herby. Medium throw and wear length.

Bright peach, vetiver and sage. It gets smokier and sagier as it dries, but still retains the peach element. Good throw and wear length.

This is a dark pomegranate-rose on a bed of resins blend. Dark, inky pom and roses. Good throw and wear length.

Sugared orange and peach jelly slices. Take the orange and peach slices (each sold separately), throw them into a bag, and then eat them. This is what this smells like. Medium throw and wear length.

To me, this smells like a peach-orange pez and coconut cream. Good throw and wear length.

Fuzzy cashmere and peaches, with a hint of honeysuckle? This one is cozy, soft, and peachy. Medium throw and medium wear length.

You love Snake Oil? This basically starts off as peach tea on me, and then slowly but surely morphs into Snake Oil after about an hour. It has a light whiff of peaches after an hour, but its mainly and very recognizeable as Snake Oil. This will probably age beautifully. Medium throw and good wear length.

This smells like vanilla wafers and peaches, and then dries down to a vanilla peach skin on me. Medium throw and wear length.

To me, this is a spicy, resinous Coca Cola blend. I get basically the labdanum (hence Coca Cola), the myrrh, clove, and touches of patchouli, spices, and a whiff of rose at the end. Medium throw and wear length.

An oil of the Philosopher Queen, Turbulent Flow is the ordered chaos at the intersection of philosophy, faith, introspection, and knowledge. This is an oil of evolution and change, but the focus is on the evolution of your worldview, values, and belief system, enabling you to shake off the shackles of ideas that no longer serve you. Lignum aloes, benzoin resinoid (Styrax benzoin), European ash leaves (Fraxinus excelsior), white willow bark (Salix alba), white sage essential oil and white sage from the TAL garden (Salvia apiana), Western red cedar essential oil and leaf (Thuja plicata), cedar berries (Juniperus monosperma), cardamom essential oil and pods (Elettaria cardamomum), evening primrose oil and seed (Oenothera biennis), English lavender flowers (Lavandula angustifolia), wild-harvested pine needles and pine needle essential oil (Pinus sylvestris L.), and celery seed essential oil (Solidago canadensis).

How do you embrace change? Because change is hard. Turbulent Flow enables you to make that transition easier. It’s about expanding your mind and willingness. It’s about realizing that you are able to make that stretch. Turbulent Flow is embodying the philosopher king or queen, post-thinking, and moving off that throne to enact what you’ve come to realize.
