Once upon a time, queens were often in exile, often due to a rival queen. A rival queen could even be your sister-in-law who would send your husband’s blood stained jacket to her husband to show that she could take care of things at home while he was “busy” “abroad”. She wanted to send his head, but was talked out of it and now there is no body for you to bury and no man to keep you safe. Or some variation of this. Power plays, battles, murder. Sometimes you would have sanctuary in crypts, sometimes you would flee the country. It’s never just once. It is always messy. There is never much time to plan. You can only snatch what you could carry on the run – furs, jewels, letters of safe conduct, documents with incriminating details, mementos, money. Sometimes, not even that.
You are a modern queen in exile now. You’ve lost most of your means that you once had – your power, your titles, your land, your goods. You are on the run, ever plotting, ever scheming ever learning how to be sovereign. One day you’ll be back to court and when you do, it will now belong to you. Your own throne, your own crown, seated in your own power.
Wear to be present in your own power, to know your allies and to recognize the opportunities that the Universe is giving you.
Scent: Lush exotic spices jeweled in honey spilled over majestic rosewood spiked with fleshy figs and rich olive oil. Fit for Queens of every gender.
Your intention
The name you would like for your blend
Fragrances you don’t like
This will be a blend just for you and will not be replicated elsewhere. I will determine what goes into the formula based on your intention and exclude scents you don’t care for. You will note that I don’t ask you what you do like. That’s intentional, I need to be able to work my (witch)craft with only a few constraints to give you an magical creation that I am inspired to make for you. I will keep the formula and will provide refills for $30.00 each. You must have bought this listing to be entitled to a refill. You may order as many refills as you like.

It will be in the standard 5ml (Black Phoenix Alchemy sized) bottle and formulated in my magical work room, Spare Oom. You may buy as many formulations for as many intentions as you like, but I’m only offering 20 formulations at this time. Once I’ve sold out, no more will be offered for another six months. Please allow three weeks for formulation and then shipping.
