The Scentual Life

Save the date! We will be hosting our third annual ‘Marché Nocturne d’Automne’ (Nocturnal Autumn Market) at our studio–boutique on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18TH. Come celebrate the arrival of autumn with us, and stock up on a wide array of fall offerings and botanical brews from a variety of cherished local vendors.

We can't hide it; the arrival of Fall has us giddy. Reaching for warm, spiced beverages while cocooned in swaths of woven yarns, we are, for the most part, faithful devotees to the romanticism of the season, gladly distracted from the waning of daytime by brilliant displays of garnet and citrine and wafts of drying grasses, autumnal treats, and organic decay.

The green witch and herbal aficionado would agree: the cure to what ails you is often at hand’s reach, and the layman or unfamiliar garden-tender would do well to differentiate detrimental weeds from familiar and friendly faces. After all; as the land begins to stir following a period of frigid dormancy, so too does its inhabitants, eager to Spring back into action while simultaneously needing supplemental nutrients and support to do so.

Hello petals; wherever this correspondence may find you, we hope you are well, rested, and preciously allocating your energy through these last weeks of winter. Here’s part two of an on-going series on the oft-derided, ever captivating floral fragrance family.
