Every box is hand stamped in real sealing wax with the ring that I wear around my neck every day which my father made for me. It is an ancient  symbol, the double spiral. Among many other definitions it also means “as above so below”.

Every scent has it’s own corresponding color of stamped seal.

WISDOM KEEPER
This is a blend of Sage ( salvia officinalis) sweetgrass  (Torresia odorata)and tobacco flower (Nicotiana tabacum). All three of these  herbs have been used for centuries by my ancestors and the ancestors of many first nation peoples to cleanse, bless and protect. Im sure you’ve heard of “Saging” a place to rid it of  negativity or to help one to heal when ill. These herbs have been used on their own or in combination for many many moons. This blend is comprised of both essential oils and Perfume oils and Is one of my personal favorites. It is a very very warm, and comforting scent. It has an earthy  natural sweetness that is very soothing and is reminiscent of the mingling of the scents of the dying embers of a fireplace  mixed with coniferous incense and amber like resinous tones.

ATAR
Atar is an ode to the Eternal flame or The Holy Fire  spoken of and worshipped  by the zoroastrian peoples of ages past. In this case it is In it’s feminine aspect. With a strong Base of warm earthy Cedar, and the rich exotic spiciness of  clove and cinnamon  it is a Rich sexual and decadent scent . Barely perceptible musk notes dance in and out of this mysterious and  ethereal scent while the resinous benzoin and vanilla  add the truly lustrous quality that binds the earthy cedar to all of these other notes. All of these notes come together in perfect harmony to create this  symphony, a masterpiece. It is totally irresistible and addictive in the best way.

ZEN
This blend has been  created to put you at ease. Through the power of scent, Zen  eliminates the clamor  of daily life. It’s meditative qualities beg you to delve deeper into your own mysteries. This Ode to The Japanese meditation and way of life that is known as Zen is a natural and peaceful smelling blend. With  the traditional Japanese incense notes of Aloeswood and Orris root and the healing ambrosia of the sacred  cypress tree this is a truly calming sacred scent and will bring these qualities when burned to you, no matter where you are.

JARDIN
One of the most sacred places that anyone will ever find is the Garden. This blend is an ode to the fresh flowers of spring, the subtle dew drop covered petals of foxgloves, snowdrops,crocuses and wisteria. It is clean and gentle  as a newly formed bud. You can smell the green of the Garden in this scent, the sun on the new fresh baby leaves and clear blue cold sky above you. It captures the airy quality of the garden, the bracing newness of Life as it blossoms forth in it’s first stages of realization.Using essential and perfume oils this scent is both complex and simple and though floral is never cloying but rather caresses and reminds us subtley of the beauty that surrounds us when in nature.

TAO
Tao captures the rare botanical scent of the deep red Peony, a flower revered for centuries by the peoples of  East Asia as a representative of Virtue, happiness, success and beauty. With seamless undertones of Chinese Incense, these scents intermingle and bring light and joy to the senses. In the way That we  remember certain smells from our childhood, Tao  is one of those wonderful Odes that you cannot pin down, you cannot quite put your finger on what it is exactly that you love so much about it, you just do.

LONGHOUSE
The Scent of Longhouse is like a long walk in autumn through a deep pine forest. It is a gathering place in the rainforests of Northern Canada for our senses. It is a retreat, a healing, a reconnection to the Great Mother earth and the great towering majestic Trees that she has blessed us with. It is a renewing, warming and soothing scent that speaks strongly of Nature. Pine, Black spruce, Fir and Birch envelope us with their strength, we leave the cities and towns behind us and we release ourselves to go and rejoin our centre. Traditionally the Longhouse is the place where the people meet, where blessings, healings, meditations  and important  ceremonies are held. What better place then the forest for this?
