Hey friends! It's an exciting day! It's the day the first book from my friends, Drs. Sara Cleto & Brittany Warman, is finally published and available to all!
Sara & Brittany are the brilliant minds behind the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic, and the book is Fairylore: A Compendium of the Fae Folk.
To celebrate, I have created a capsule collection of three candles and two lip shines that spotlight a fairy from each major section of the book.
APSARA: A graceful, seductive blend of water lotus, night-blooming jasmine, rose incense, and sandalwood.
AZIZA: An unexpected and energizing blend of blooming hibiscus, sweet pineapple, and fresh, tangy moringa.
NISSE: A comforting, homey blend of oatmeal porridge spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, then topped with a dollop of sweet cream.
HULDUFOLK LIP SHINE: For the Hidden Ones, a chilly, sheer blue with silvery shimmer and a custard flavor.
IFRIT LIP SHINE: For the folk of fire, a bold, sparkly true red with a candied cinnamon flavor.
But that's not the end!
The Secret Menu Is Back! Extremely limited quantities of some recent scents (and some prototypes), offered at a slight discount to aid me in my Spring cleaning. If there's something you'd like a second shot at, act soon. These are first come, first served.
And finally, last year was a hard one for discontinuations. Component issues led to the dismissal of several favorites, including Ginger Fox and Of The Wave. But I've been hard at work on things to fill their shoes, rounding out the collection. The Spring '26 expansion includes five all new scents and one of my personal favorites, Forest Hymn, which returns from the Mystic Moods collection.
BIRDSONG: A paean to Spring. A gilded meadow of peach blossom, orange blossom, petitgrain, and tea rose on a breeze of sweetened sandalwood.
CLOUD 9: Strawberry creme candy paired with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprig of sweet lavender. Perfect for daydreams and love stories.
FOREST HYMN: A gently spiced blend of botanical treasures - cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, fir needle, and anise sweetened with wildflower honey.
SATISFACTION: A carnal confection of spiced churro paired with perfectly caramelized creme brulee.
THALASSA: The mineral tang of sea spray, tempered by Mediterranean olive leaf and citron.
VEIL OF STARS: The scent of lavender twilight deepening into indigo night. Lush fig, pomelo, elderflower, amber, tonka bean, coconut milk, a swirl of kush, and starlit musk.
Enjoy!
Warmly,
Christina
