Full
Moon Oil This
oil focuses on the Full Moon's tidal effects and gives the sense of being at
the seashore beneath a Full Moon while the scent of musk roses
drifts over you.The Full Moon is known particularly
for its importance to the female body and to the plant and aquatic world. I
chose the scent of rose
to stand for this time for the female generative system and added
palmarosa and geranium to add dimension to the rose and help it
connect to the other scents. Oakmoss
adds a deep muskyness to the rose scent, making
it more Earth and more physical. During this
lunar phase, the aerial parts of plants put on the most growth, and the chlorophyll
represents this strong vegetative aspect. The touch of seaweed absolute adds
a salty oceanic note for the tidal effect, and the violet leaf gives a big round Moon
moistness. A natural extract of butter (milkiness is a Moon quality)
adds soft fatness, and a bit of storax gives it Moon coolness. These scents are combined in pure jojoba
harvested from plants grown without chemicals. I have switched to
jojoba because it was just too difficult to find a good source of
fresh almond oil. Altogether this is a very pleasant rosey, and
somewhat musky, salty scent. This oil is good
for focusing on maturation, the fullness of growth, tying up the loose ends,
and the connectedness of the human body to the celestial sphere. This
subtle oil releases its scent when it is applied, not in the bottle. top
