Love Potion #9®: Classic and refined, while very modern, clean and fresh. The cooling combination of Citrus and Musk in Love Potion #9® may be worn equally by both Women and Men - transcending gender, transcending time. It is both mature and ageless - and will make you feel like pure magic! -
A Treasure of Copper: Perhaps the oldest metal in recorded history, copper is known for its balancing properties of male and female energies, embodying such qualities as love and artistic creativity. Our interpretation of this element, associated with the planet Venus, is a symbolic combination of resilient strength which is also highly malleable. The femininity of golden fleshy fruits: peach, mango, papaya, apricot and pear; with a firm woody core of oak, cedar, redwood and teak. As a finishing touch our potion glows with cosmetic grade swirling copper mica. -
A Treasure of Gold: Gold is the most highly-prized of all precious metals and perhaps most of all for the duality of its representation. Gold is a transitional metal, its inherent worth is in its flexibility… gold represents strength, aggression, masculine energy, but true strength is not delivered with brute force, but with the power of the mind and the ability to transform the world around you to your satisfaction….like gold, reality can be shaped to your Will if pursued with the alchemy of intelligence.
Succulent blooms of wild honeysuckle and golden lotus are gilded with aureate molten caramelized honeyed amber and the potion shimmers with pure golden mica.
-
A Treasure of Pearls: A symbol of transmutation and of perfection, pearls are comprised of numerous translucent layers, their luster is derived from their formation. The more layers, the more iridescence which refracts the light falling upon the surface, thus creating a unique and coveted shine. The aim in crafting our scented pearl was to recreate this quality with a luminous soft base of vanilla musk, white amber and marshmallow shot through with flashes of brilliant color from lush orchids, water lilies and lotus blossoms. Prized, elegant…lovely to look at - swirling with liquid pearlescence - and warm and inviting to wear. -
A Treasure of Rubies: The color of passion, intensity, insatiable love, blood, and even fury....the symbol of an intensity of emotion - one that makes us really feel alive. Our rufescent concoction evokes an aura of fire in one's veins, with sparkling red top notes of currant, raspberry, cherry and strawberry jam, a fierce flash of pimento essential oil, and the earthiness of red tulips, Indian red musk, labdanum, redwood and rosewood essential oils, shimmering with cosmetic-quality deep red mica. -
Abby Normal's Desiccated Brains: Step right up for a terrifying treat...if you dare visit the lair of the Mad Doctor! A perfect Halloween dessert: desiccated coconut whipped into a cloud of meringue forms the basis of this brainy delight, adorned with cranium-like pecans and sweetened with maple and brown sugar. To give this scent a sexy gourmand spin, we've included feminine musk and a base of warm resinous benzoin. -
Aether - Pheromone Enhanced Fragrance: The essence of creativity lies somewhere between Here and There, ephemeral and elusive. We mere mortals can occasionally draw on its power, but rarely can we tap into it at will. It's the substance that links the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water...the fifth element known as Aether, the pure air that's only breathed by the Gods and is the source of all creation.
Let your soul tap into this bottomless font of ideas, which has until now been the purview of the Muses and their mortal beneficiaries. Water and ozone accords combine with the scent of baby white tea leaves, giving Aether a "barely-there" quality, while our "Focus Potion" pheromone blend turns it into a powerful channeling type of spell to more effectively tune you into the Otherworld. No longer will you be at the mercy of the Muse, for now the well of creativity is yours to command as if you had it on tap.
-
Ares ~ For Men: A potion as commanding as Ares himself; deep ancient resins and musks combine with earthy, masculine scents - both flora and fauna.
-
Dad for Men - Pheromone Enhanced Cologne Spray: Contains nostalgic notes of Bay Rum and brisk Lavender, olde fashioned shaving soap notes (Melissa and Paper Whites), manly Sandalwood, with a hint of newspaper and fresh ink, plus a light dash of manly musk. The aroma evokes feelings of safety, dependability, warmth, security and love. And because Dad knows *everything,* we've included a generous dose of our exclusive INTELLECTUAL MAN pheromone formula! -
Elementary for Men 2010: A new tribute to our favorite detective: a base of intoxicating red ambergris is enhanced with intriguing sandalwood, invigorating light tobacco, sturdy teakwood, commanding leather musk with a touch of spice and clean warm linen to put you in mind of the discerning genius of the master of deduction. For your own moments of brilliance, charm, and bravado...it's Elementary, my dear...
