Strange Invisible Perfumes

Saturday’s full moon is in Pisces, the zodiac’s resident dreamer. Since the moon rules the innermost self, expect your feelings and fantasies to turn all the way up!

To set the mood, we’re wearing Pisces Eau de Parfum. Hypnotic night-blooming jasmine, lush kewda, and sparkling lime mingle with meditative frankincense and grounding cedarwood to spark creativity and keep you centered as you wander the wilder reaches of your imagination.

The fall forecast calls for fresh and shimmering botanicals! Musc Botanique has the Town & Country seal of approval, with author Roxanne Adamiyatt calling it “the kind of scent that evokes the quiet of dawn during the days where shadow overtakes light.”

Right on cue, autumn makes its entrance. Today light and dark are in perfect balance, and every scent in the crisp air signals change.

After months of balmy weather, we’re more than ready for the coziness of fall. While it’s still a touch early for knitwear, our fragrance wardrobe is already layering up, starting with Musc Botanique.

Now through October 25th, Venus is in Scorpio. As if this transit weren’t intense enough, starting October 3rd, Venus will station in retrograde. The moment brings hidden truths, deeper intimacy, and emotional transformation…all while challenging you to question what you thought you knew about love and desire. 

Buckle up, it will be a revelatory ride! Here’s what to expect from Venus’s journey through Scorpio, plus the botanical essences that can help you face whatever surfaces with courage.

The power of perfume is that it can return us, so suddenly, to another time, place, or feeling. 

Smell is our most primal and enigmatic sense, after all. It travels directly to the brain’s limbic system, where memory and emotion reside.
