For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health.
It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than British, Americans or Canadians.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than British, Americans or Canadians.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than British, Americans or Canadians.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than British, Americans or Canadians.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than British, Americans or Canadians.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink whatever you'd like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
Something Wicked This Way Grows
"Flowers bloom as black as night
Removing color from your sight
Nightmarish vines block your way
Thorns reach out to catch their prey
And by the pricking of your thumbs
Realize that their poison numbs
From frightful blooms, rank odors seep
Bats and beasties fly and creep
'Cross this evil land, ill winds blow
Despite the darkness, mushrooms glow
All will rot and decompose
For something wicked this way grows..."

From the lab cometh.....
You asked.......I complied.....resistance was futile......yes, I watch too much Star Trek.

Phoenix Noir
This scent is in honour of a dear friend's coming baby boy who is to be named Phoenix. Merry meet, little man.....may the Goddess bless your arrival into this world!
Exotic black pomegranate, spices, oriental resins, sacred sage, redwoods, dark marine notes, a touch of intoxicating frangipani and a spike of dragon's blood. This is all sprinkled with a witch's blessing of health, strength, protection & love.
Miss Katrina
Named for the smiliest and most lovely lady back home. This was her scent idea and I've run with it. Katrina, I hope I did this justice for you.
The scent: Three types of ripe oranges~ mandarin,Florida fresh squeezed and exotic Spanish blood oranges are softened with Bourbon and Madagascar vanillas which is all spiked with the those most delicious buttered mint! The result is an amazingly sexy scent that will get you nibbled if not attacked by the hunk (or babe) of your choice!
Sugar Violet Dreams
Nicola....I'm looking at you, honey! This one is right up your alley!
The scent: Parma violets blended with fluffy marshmallow creme, sugared white cake, a touch of sugary bubblegum & almond cream. This is all folded into the most beautiful and softest touch of baby powder.
Madagascar Rose
Another scent inspired by two of my best selling scents. I've taken Queen's Rose Garden with it's varied rose notes, green grass, and herbs and blended it with my Madagascar Vanilla Angel scent....the result. A stunning blend caramelized vanilla scented roses with a touch of greenery.
Marrakesh Magick
This one is for my Caz whom I love dearly! She sends me fudge from the Shetlands, coffee from New Orleans and the Middle East....and is always there with that winning smile and witty words.
The scent: A souq marketplace alive with resins, spices, incense, a touch of smoke and dry dusty earth. Take all that and mix it with black pomegranate, earthy fig and some dark red wine....and you have magick!
Druid Gathering
This is for lovely Kate & Sarah who never fail to make me smile and I luvs them both muchly! The druids of yore have come to gather in the sacred wood following a crashing thunderstorm.
The scent: Deep dark wet soil, moss & lichen give forth their musty scent, rotting old felled trees and forest ferns & grasses touched with a very light scent of crushed wildflowers.
Lemon Brulee
This is just because I love lemon and when you combine that with creme brulee custard...well it is full of win! The scent: freshly squeezed tart Spanish lemons combined with the softer lemony scent of sherbert lemons folded into a rich vanilla bean spiked custard that has been sprinkled liberally with demarara sugar and broiled until it melts into a hard caramel crust. Yum!!
In Process:
Greek Holiday ( for Karen)

You'll be seeing these scents soon enough....
Alchemy Elixir #1

We've taken our Alchemy Elixir #1 and softened it a tad with some girly glittery pink sugar and hot pink lipstick!
Potion Noir

Black vanilla, Baltic amber, darkened honeycomb,brown sugar, sex musk, patchouli, & crushed silk.

Siren's Call
Cornelius a Lapide said of Woman, "her glance is that of the fabled basilisk, her voice a siren's voice—with her voice she enchants, with her beauty she deprives of reason—voice and sight alike deal destruction and death." I'd say that poor guy had come under the influence of some pretty powerful feminine ways at some point, eh? All I can say is this scent could also be called man bait!
The scent:
Sexy amber & white musk blend beautifully with ripe red berries, honeycomb toffee, 3 types of vanilla, rich sweet mango, papaya & mandarin.
Regency Jewel
When I think of all of the great ladies and beauties of history.....I always end up in the Regency era. There were so many I felt the need to create a scent to honour these amazing women. I have taken a traditional blend that was a popular and closely guarded secret of French perfumers and added my own touches.
The scent:
A soft but heady blend of florals such as frangipani, English rose, violet, Lily of the Valley, night blooming jasmine, osmanthus, and Calla lily; beautifully blended with rich ripe fruits of apricot, peach, mango and manadarin all softened with a touch of almond milk and powdery silks.
Betrothed
For those that are hopelessly in love with the commitment-phobe-type man. This a beautiful and enchanting blend of florals & fruits that are *known* to put that fella in just the right frame of mind to make that ultimate commitment. Not the marriage type yourself?? No worries....it will keep him close...very close.
*Witchery may or may not have been involved with this blend* (grins)
The scent:
Secret but utterly enchanting.....featuring such things as magnolia, orange blossoms, gardenia, and ripe fruits. Sorry, I can't divulge it all.....there be many many spies afoot!
Goddess Groove
This is just a FUN and sexy scent! The Goddess herself would LOVE this. Perfect for anytime wear and very summery.
The scent:
Wild forest flowers, crushed grasses, earth & resins blended with summer berries, tart apple,pomegranate, melon and a green spike of witchy herbs.
Cathouse Blooms

Sexy sexy musks, crushed flower petals, Madagascar vanilla, exotic resins and a touch of smoked honey.
