Forager's Grove: She forages through her favorite and familiar hidden grounds. Nestled safely in her woods, she gathers in her basket the darkest of woody ambers, dry balsamic resins she picks from the bark of her favorite beloved trees.

Haunted Library: At long last, the awaited Haunted Library scent I have been working on for ages! Flickering candlelight reveals faint hints of wax burning in the dark corners among the ancient bookshelves, aged, dusty oak and dampened earthen cellars, with worn bindings. A touch of musty vanilla left from lingering spirits, while wafts of ghostly faint florals, mingle with incense traces left behind on onion skin thin pages of forgotten rituals.
Hocus Pocus: Take a walk in the wooded forest near the three sisters’ house. Breathe in the fresh sweet aroma as you brush by the balsam pines, and wild growing blackberries, mulberries, and cloudberries.

Nightcrawlers Wake: Reach up through dark and dank rich humus soil, wet earth, fresh green grass & the unmistakable hint of freshly decaying carnation wreaths.
No Witches on a Crackling Fire: A berry rich type of smoldering wood. If you try to smell the distinctive notes separately you can smell the berries and woods. It blends all together and comes in, to me, as a very realistic outdoor camping fire with that kind of sweet wet smolder in the damp morning woods.
Patchouli & Petitgrain: Earthy and grounding eo blend. Petitgrain eo is the wood of an orange tree.
Pocket Full of Posies reformulated: Oakmoss, labdanum resin, burning patchouli herbs and orange blossom scented pomanders to drive away any unwanted guests.
