I was deciding between this and the water. I loved the Asclepius 1.1 water but was looking for something that would last longer and be more versatile. This ended up being perfect. In general, i feel like the bulk sizes of all the S+ offerings always have a lot more materia than you would think for the price point. So i’m all for getting a bulk product if I know for sure it’ll be something I use all the time. Huge bang for my buck imo. I think i’ve used my bulk kolonia at least a dozen times now, and it’s about a centimeter past the very tippy top of the bottle.
I also feel like i can get more of a “full body” cleanse with the kolonia, compared with the water I ended up using more spritzes depending on how much of my aura i wanted to cover.
For a shortcut cleanse/reset, I take a shower and then follow up with the kolonia cleanse and Asclepius anointing oil. It’s a great option for someone who needs regular energetic resets, engaging in lots of magic or magical products on a regular basis.

I think the strongest of the kolonias if you're looking to cleanse in general. Highly recommend having it in your apothecary for general good health. I like to diffuse it with a few drops of the oil from this series, together they transmute and then add in.

I like the cool cleansing effect, reminds me of men’s aftershave. It’s a little too sedative to use before AM qi work, but a bit strong before bed.
I’m still trying to find the best time and use to fit the nature and scent into my rituals. It stands alone wonderfully, but it competes with feminine magica and scent profiles.

However, I love the cool healing effect…splash on my hands, clear energy, and then place hands on areas of concern, inhale deeply in my hands…perfect it use before sitting meditation and play singing bowls. I’m going to invest in the physicians salve to go with it so the effects will last longer, and will experiment with Mercury door key series and Regulus to temper anxiety, uplift, and encourage resourceful practical problem solving to heal. That’s the goal anyway!

Literally use this every night to clear out the gunk of the day - this and the water are two of my staples I can't live without.

This kolonia is cleansing and re-setting, I like to use it on myself after arriving home, to take off any energies from work / being around people. It's good for using before meditation and pairs well with all the other materia I have. A great all-rounder!

Fresh and medicinal. This kolonia is the first step before working with any talismanic materia of any sphere or touching items of sacred significance. Breathing it into the lungs and body after I apply it to my hands generates both expansive and soft n’ settled somatic sensations, and a feeling of gratitude for the refreshment from all my insides. This is the one I can’t live without.

Love this Kolonia! The scent is really pleasant and it's a great primer for other forms of the same series, or other series. It's really handy when you need cleansing that is lighter and quicker than a full-on ritual bath.

I have a chronic health condition, so I'm in and out of medical offices frequently. I use this kolonia to cleanse my energy after appointments. I feel a healthy reset each time. Asclepius is such a reassuring ally when dealing with chronic health stuff.

I love this kolonia. I use it after any icky encounter out in the world as a way to get that energy off of me. I also use the kolonia and the quick cleansing protocol when I or someone in my family is starting to get sick as a way to contain the illness. The scent is uplifting and stays with me for a while, which makes me feel reassured. I use the Asclepius waters more regularly than the kolonia but I wouldn't want to be without this versatile tool. I find that it helps me feel more grounded and less afraid that the germs are gonna "get me."

All purpose "the real deal" magic. Offers a total mental, emotional, and energetic reset in 30 seconds flat, and creates a "blank canvas" for other S+ materia to be more impactful and potent.

If I could only purchase one S+ item for the rest of my life, this one might be it. Clarifying and centering, it has the ability to stop a bad day in its tracks and completely turn the train around.

I also love to add it to laundry (just a few drops in a load elevates cleanse!) and to water when washing floors or wiping surfaces. It completely resets the feel of a room and makes everything feel fresh and light!
