This is a Cobwebby exclusive from back in 2012, and it's been six years and no one seems to have reviewed it. And since there were a few bottles on Etsy, I went ahead and grabbed it. Burial v2 starts off with a very smoky vetiver note, which calms down substantially. I get dirt... and HOLY HELL BATMAN, I am getting the same weird grapefruit note that I get from Capricorn 2004. Capricorn 2004, which is almost impossible to get your hands on, and it starts off as a weird woody blend that MAGICALLY BECOMES GRAPEFRUIT ZEST on my skin and I think it may be the aged cedar. In other words, if you age cedar for 10+ years, the citrus notes in the cedar transform to a strange grapefruit-like scent that just sort of stays around. Dirt, grapefruit dust, and cedar. Yup. So, I'm off to go score my own whole bottle.

A general-purpose luck invoking blend, great for everyday boosts in good fortune. The components include bourbon vanilla absolute, vanilla oleoresin, Ceylon cinnamon, almond oil, and pulverized pyrite. (Brian took care of the pulverizing.) This smells AMAZING. Like a sexy cinnamon roll. I immediately want donuts when I use it. Like 10 boxes full. How does it work? Really well. I had a candle dressed in it, then after just handling it, unlit, walked outside and my neighbor asked me to dry and fold his laundry for $20. The same day Nate got a ton of good advice as far as money went. It helped a looooot. I love the scent, and I use it on days when we need a boost or everything seems to be going wrong. Or for other people... I find it helps them too. Also the pyrite is super pretty! I'm not sensitive skin wise so I rubbed it on my skin and his without issue.

Your friendly neighborhood sex shop: gleaming black leather, latex, and musk. Sexy, warm leather with a musk backdrop. I have a mild latex allergy, and I think my body rejected the "latex" scent because it made me feel horribly nauseous. Sucks because I loved the scent, but had to ultimately rehome.

A creativity oil crafted to help you find inspiration to construct activist art. Whether it be an intimate, personal form of protest or a big, poetic fuck you right in this administrations face, this oil will help give voice to your radical muses. Mugwort essential oil, jasmine sambac, steam-distilled Calabrian bergamot, and organic cold-pressed lemon essential oil. I pretty much always gravitate toward creativity-supporting TAL oils. But as a full-time fine artist that is extremely political, I knew that I was going to need a bottle of this one in particular. From a purely perfume-fragrance perspective, Artivism isn't the main attraction. Let's face it: mugwort just isn't that much of a go-to scent experience. It's dry and a little farty, in much the same way as clary sage. Yes, the jasmine certainly tempers that and the bergamot gives another welcomed layer. But all of that is besides the point, because what this is really about and the urge toward creative endeavor toward the greater good, and that's where this Artivism excels. I am often amazed (though not surprised) at Beth's ability to encapsulate the needs and desires of the creative process. But of course, an artist herself, she's one of us, and knows no doubt from first-hand experience what it means to have such drives and passions. And here it is, tailored and formulated not just to scratch the itch that comes with percolating a new idea or concept, but the specificity that comes with creative birthing that lies in service to helping for a larger betterment of those that inhabit this small planet.

Sometimes when were constantly under assault, be it by destructive legislation or online trolls, the cruelty we endure or bear witness to can start to wear on our souls. This oil is used when you feel your spirit flagging, and the temptation to capitulate to anger, bitterness, resentment, or cruelty looms on your horizon. Purge and protect yourself from the hate, and rekindle the fires of your own compassion. When they go low, we go high: ambrette seed, frankincense essential oil and tears, steam-distilled bay laurel, saffron-infused myrrh essential oil, palo santo, steam-distilled styrax, and angelica. This oil on a conceptual level, is basically the inverse of Honey Rose 45. Where that one is to gain a sense that we are not alone in this, that there are still people that are creating daily mitzvahs in the midst of oppression, this is about our own compassion and resiliency. I see them as two sides ultimately of the same coin, and the feelings I experience from each of them when engaging bears that out, as does the scents they happen to transmit. If Honey Rose points to the port in the storm, Virtus reminds us that *we* are the fucking port. From Honey Rose I experienced almost a melancholy, a weepiness of feeling others connect and hold me in their invisible net. Virtus instead galvanizes me, makes to want to spin nets of my own, protect those that are spent and despairing and to do so with a level of integrity that is well-neigh untouchable. The weepiness is replaced with the kinds of tears that spring up when I'm enraged at the levels of injustice I witness daily and motivates me to fight back and fight HARD. Normally, I can't wear oils with myrrh, I amp it, it becomes baby powder on me and is generally unpleasant. But the myrrh here mixes with the woods and the other resins to create something rich and earthy without being dirt-like. It's grounding and grounded and reminds me that ultimately the truth will set us free. When they go low we go high, indeed.

When you need to be reminded of the kindness in the world - of the small daily acts of heroism, selflessness, and compassion that surround and sustain us. Rose otto, rosehip oil, honey, beeswax absolute, honey myrtle, jasmine sambac, coconut oil, crushed rose petals and tiny red rosebuds. When I was looking at descriptions of the 45-specific scents, this was one of the ones I *knew* I needed to have. In dark times, it can be incredibly difficult to hold on to hope. Although TAL oils aren't about fragrance, I happen to be a person for whom sense of smell plays a factor in lots of aspects of my life, well beyond what perfume I decide to wear for the day. To that end, Honey Rose smells like roses, just passed their prime, wilting gently in a summer garden, surrounded by other signifiers of high summer, like errant greenery that sprouts, tenaciously, in sidewalk cracks, and maybe a touch of something more herbal, which I'm betting the honey myrtle in the mix. Whether because of this complex scent or -at least as likely- the intent meant to be invoked, wearing a bit of this on my skin conjures strong feelings of empathy but also a bittersweetness that comes from feeling gratitude when life has been especially hard. This oil is the delicious cake, home made and frosted with care, that someone brings you when a loved one has crossed over. The warm hug given by a sweet neighbor when they hear you lost your job. It's a reprieve that casts no illusions that "everything is going to be just fine so look on the bright side" but rather that in the midst of tremendous adversity, there is indeed a port in the storm. Which is intense, but a truthful solace we need.

For use when all the f&*cking noise is getting to be too much. A particularly useful reset after social media, especially when you’ve read the comments. Place a few drops on a white candle and a drop on your palms and let it gooooooooo. The components include French lavender, frankincense, steam-distilled Roman chamomile and hops flower. It smells of a gentle lavender (v. Peace, which is pretty much knock-you-out lavender). I tried it at one point as instructed--dressing a chime candle and anointing my palms, and while I didn't feel a rush of peace, I did feel better afterward. I'd like to try putting this on my palms and going for a walk, since that's usually how I decompress from my day.

Nice: As sweet as can be: spun sugar strawberries. The strawberry note in this one is very similar to the strawberry note in Loli.goth. However Loli.goth is a more pink musk/girly scent, and Nice is sugary strawberry candy. It is a more candy-like strawberry fragrance rather than a fresh, juicy strawberry. If you love candy notes, get this!

I will tell of Dionysus, the son of glorious Semele, how he appeared on a jutting headland by the shore of the fruitless sea, seeming like a stripling in the first flush of manhood: his rich, dark hair was waving about him, and on his strong shoulders he wore a purple robe. The components include master of the woods, musk seed, grape root, peppermint leaf. This post is merely a placeholder for future reviews.

[No additional description provided.] This one smells like cinnamon-dusted sugar cookies with a touch of egg nog. There is a very definite 'egg' note to this. Soft, foodie, vanilla cinnamon cookies. It's actually got a decent throw, but almost no wear length on my hair.

Snake Charmer: Sensual, sibilant, sexual and hypnotic: Arabian musk and exotic spices slinking through Egyptian amber, enticing vanilla, and a serpentine blend of black plum, labdanum, ambrette, benzoin and black coconut. A Snake Oil-based blend? In an atmo spray?? There was no way I could resist this. And though my bank account protested, I made the right choice in buying it. I have yet to experience the original perfume oil so I can't compare directly, but this is incredible. It's certainly a Snake Oil, but more like a well-aged one with extra warmth from the amber and benzoin and just the slightest touch of fruity sweetness. I only used one spritz on my bedsheets and my entire bedroom is perfectly lightly scented. It's warm and inviting and quite hypnotic indeed! I had things to do today... but maybe I'll just spend the day in bed... I went out for an hour to do some errands and it's much fainter upon my return. It's still detectable though. Just enough to make me go "oh, I should spray it again. And again. Make all the things smell like this!" But I think maybe I'll hold off until bedtime. I want this bottle to last!
