Collaborator of Queenly virtue Elizabeth Barrial of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab and Twilight Alchemy Lab ritually crafted a limited edition perfume oil during the Venus in Taurus series election. Of it, she shares —

Once more, O Venus! hear my prayer,
And ease my mind of anxious care;
Again vouchsafe to be my guest,
And calm this tempest in my breast!
To thee, bright queen, my vows aspire;
O grant me all my heart’s desire!
– Hymn to Venus, Sappho

Translated by Francis Fawkes.

The scent feels like a cascade of pale, crystalline roses; it is a silken bedsheet clinging like the langurous drape of a half-open dressing robe. It is the crashing wave of rapture, it is the scent of passionate words breathlessly gasped between entwined bodies. It is the ecstasy of the moment of release from the pain of heartache. It is a bouquet of swelling joy that beauty inspires, and it contains the essence of the blossoming of self-love that enables you to truly love others.

Utilize this oil to develop your appreciation of your own beauty, to open yourself up to the beauty of others, when creating art or when you wish to enhance your appreciation of the arts, for opening your heart and unblocking your receptivity to love, to aid healing romance-rooted emotional trauma, and to bind lovers together.

This is a perfume of love, of mending hearts, of union, and of the expression of love and union through the arts; this is a hymn to Venus.

Search your conscience.

Digital repentance, analog guilt: sacramental incense and a snap of ozone.

What do we want?
TO GIVE THEM THE FINGER!

When do we want it?
OH MY GOD ALL THE FUCKING TIME??

A giant foam fuck you: cotton candy, red pepper, and clove bud.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I ain’t broke.

…and you bastards ain’t never going to break me.

Red sandalwood, shea, sweet patchouli, cardamom, pecan, and caramelized amber.

Too butch, too femme, too sexy, not sexy enough, too smart, too big, too loud, too angry.

Sugar and bile, leather and blood, honey and rum, shredded patchouli and vetiver, tobacco and lime.

I don’t belong here.

A respectable, virtuous vintage musk smeared with blood and spiked with the coppery scent of fear.

Almond milk, coconut husk, and sweat-salted skin.

A crash course in gynotism: cherry-slapped rose musk.

Patented 3-D Gyno-Coin not included.

White noise, isolation, interrogation: static-white musk grating against ink-black musk, black pepper, and clove.

There’s no muffin like BIG BERTHA’S. Molasses and orange make these muffins sweet, indulgent, and a little spicy, just like your grandma.

Be the you HE likes. Good to be around, any time, any day.

A sweet and compliant sugared mint coating sour green apple.

Rooty, sweet, and a little bit dirty

A faint whiff of incense smoke and dust

Bright and tart

Clean, bright, and herbal

Cool and velvety

Wild strawberries, strawberry flower, vanilla-infused sugar, a drop of strawberry-infused benzoin, early summer grasses, and milky dandelion sap.
