I found that using this all over my body is a little bit overwhelming (because of its scent profile). But lathering it on my legs and feet before I set off for the day has been a good middle ground. The effects I have seen appear in my life is that I am a little bit too chatty which I had not anticipated (nor particularly strive for). There definitely is a way to go before I get a sense for how best to use it- because it has not lent much in the way of supporting my writing projects and organising of my literature, which I had hoped for. I do feel that the significations associated with this Materia has not manifested for me so immediately and clearly in my engagement with it (esp compared to some others like Cap II, Butter Ocean and VAD) but that could do with my having Mercury in the 2nd and ruling cadent houses. This was also one of my first body butters, so it may also be the kind of Materia that is impacting the duration of time it is taking to familarise with this sphere. Alas, only time will tell how I get on!

This makes me feel like the Energizer Bunny-- hopped up and ready to go, but also silky soft. Definitely helped me get through a period when ADHD meds were short and I had a huge project to get through. It works best for me with layering-- a little spritz of the EM water, a little drop of the tincture-- but on its own it is very good for a quick boost of energy without the same level of buzzy anxious "GOTTA DO IT RIGHT NOW" feeling as the more intense EM materia.

Wonderful smelling, energizing! Love it.

This body butter smells amazing and is nice and silky. I keep it on my Mercury altar in my office, and apply it to my hands and forearms on days when I need support to focus and power through tasks. I think it has a bit more staying power than the kolonia but honestly I love them layered together. As I mentioned in my kolonia review, EM materia isn't enough to totally overcome my ADHD resistance to starting tasks, but if I can use mundane coping tools to get myself started, this series will help me lock in to a flow and really get a lot done. (It can go a little too far, with a "just one more thing" mentality-- I often end up working way later than normal when I use it, so pay attention to a healthy stop time.)

While i use most S+S in the evening, this one is absolutely delightful treat to brighten up your morning. Had also successfully applied mid day for getting back in the groove.

I really love this body butter! First off, I LOVE the smell of this! Really, the smell alone makes me feel good and motivated. I put this butter on when I need to present myself to the world and be well spoken. I also wear it when I have a day that will will involve a lot of use of technology. The results for me have been quite successful!

been returning to applying this wednesdays when my workweek begins & i cd use the citrusy wakeup - but i'd forgotten the wayfinding mercury's capable of. i seemed to keep being "set" - continually put in the best place whether ephemeral travel or longterm strategy - with the aim i think to sweep the board of anxiety so my mind can be where i'd rather.

Liked it so much I bought a backup before running out of the first container! Essential for anyone with executive dysfunction needing a little fire lit under them. The scent is incredible. As always, the body butters are high quality skincare. But more about the magic: Exalted Mercury WORKS! It’s stimulating and life-giving. It’s best to pair this with something traditionally stabilizing to avoid any energetic crash.

Smells lovely and is uplifting and brightening - I use before social situations or when I feel a bit low energy.

Tis body butter is better, more joyful and more nourishing for the day ahead than a cup of coffee for me. I feel like a friendly and excited companion is at my side saying "Let's DO this! *giggle*". Day of errands, day of (perhaps seeming) unenthusiastic tasks? Get this sprite on your side. You'll both enjoy connecting the dots, checking the lists and seeing what sparkling unexpected surprises might happen along the way. Joyful and bright. Also: getting shit done.
