â€œIt looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.â€ View this email in your browser Hi all!



It's almost time for our favourite season of the year.

With our inspirations always coming from our local surroundings we go back to our roots to bring you the aroma's of our valley. As summer heightens before the fall we are surrounded by dust clouds of freshly-cut hay, the bales laid out like chess pieces across a patchwork of open fields, the leaves begin to turn and fall from the trees and late summer flowers bloom one last time.

Join us on an olfactory journey as we amble through forests, ancient villages & derelict country houses, witches kitchens, old tombs and curious carnivals.

All scents will be available as handmade soap, three in one whipped soap, bubbling sugar buff, body whip, conditioning hair rinse & aromatic oil.



Here's a rundown of the scents:



COVEN:

A powerful group of 13 witches casting incantations on All Hallows Eve. Ritualistic smoke of black pepper oil, blood orange, frankincense tears, lavender flowers & patchouli oil casts a smokey haze in the centre of the circle helping to summon the spirits of their ancestors. 100% Essential oil blend.

This blend is refreshing with a dark mysterious base with added spice.



DUST WITCH:

The aroma of a witches kitchen at the height of Autumn. Softly smouldering incense resins, jasmine flowers, sandalwood chips and patchouli leaves, a cauldron full of blood orange wine and a freshly-baked rhubarb pie served with a cup of black tea. Fragrance & Essential oil blend.

This one has changed slightly with more sweetness added and a little sharpness deducted.



MAMA DIDN'T LISTEN SO I TOLD THE BEES:

A heavy blossom honey, the nectar collected from myrtle bushes, orange blossoms, ylang ylang blooms & jamarosa grass, the hive made of himalayan cedar & camphor wood. A deep resinous base aroma of myrrh & dark vanilla finished with cypress, bergamot & vetivert. 100% Essential oil/absolute blend.

This blend is so complex it's hard to pinpoint any one note. It's a warming blend with a certain something lingering beneath. I find it quite woody and earthy with a

well-rounded, floral finish.



OWLETT'S END:

Simmering black tea, clary sage & coriander leaves, nutmeg dust & cinnamon sticks, sticky dark orange oil and blackened cardamom pods. Fragrance & Essential oil blend.

This is the blend I conjured a few years ago and is inspired by an old house here in Evesham, which resides in Owlett's End. It's funny where your mind can take you and this one gave me visions of the landscapes in the movie, Tideland.

My old inspiration notes from my personal journal are here: A corn field long past its cutting date houses a derelict old town house, black beams exposed & dull white paint slowly peeling off the brickwork. Owls nest in the eaves, dust-covered cobwebs hang over the windows, a rustling wind whistles through the old back porch, old books piled high along with half-finished paintings, old mirrors & rusting signage. As you look up the faces of children in the upper windows reflect your gaze. Sitting in the seat of a rocking chair rests a lovers keepsake box - the inside full of curious spices, long forgotten spells & dried tears.

PUMPKIN 'EAD (new scent)

Earthy, sun-warmed pumpkin flesh, dry cider apple & pear nectar finished

with an Autumn spice syrup.

Our new autumn blend! How could we NOT include a pumpkin scent?! This one will make you swoon, as it has everybody who has walked into the workshop and sniffed the soap. It's just a gorgeous, foody, sweet scent with added oomph from the spiced pumpkin flesh.



SHADOW SHOW:

Blackened pomegranate juice, plum compote spiked with pink pepper, clove & cinnamon and the rising smoke of frankincense tears, patchouli leaf, sticky amber resin, tree moss & caramelised sugar.

Fragrance & Essential oil blend.

The return of an old favourite for many of you. This one is rich, sexy, and warming with an old time men's cologne feel. It reminds me of the scent of your man right after he has bathed and put on talc and clean pj's! I know...I'm an old gal at heart, but this one is so cosy and homely!



TOMBSTONE:

The inside of an ancient tomb. Droplets of resinous frankincense, cool white Egyptian burial cloth, dusty sandalwood sticks, cobweb silk, hints of aging citrus peel and a burlap pouch filled with cypress needles. 100% Essential oil blend.

Probably my favourite of the bunch. I'm a sucker for Frankincense oil and resin and there's an abundance of it in this blend. It smells like church incense mixed with old books and linens.



Ok, there we have it for our first round of scents.

Following on from this release will be the 2nd part of our Autumn/Halloween product release, where we hope to introduce three new product lines as well as some more soapy treats and Ltd editions. We've been working on creating a new Shea butter based sugar scrub (this was actually our first ever scrub we created so some of you may remember it), a highly nourishing anhydrous body butter and our new favourite product, bath milk teas!

We have finalised our formula's and our cosmetics assessor is working on them for us right now. We'll keep you informed about those here and on our Facebook group page.



The 1st part of the release will go live on Sunday 30th August at 6pm

(London Time).



See you there!
