This takes me back to the olde days, when colognes were used by aristocrats to mask the scent of sewage on the streets...

Nothing overpowering, nothing complicated, just a nice scrubbed-clean feeling for the aura and a lightening of your energy. I reach for this for mundane use as well as after a ritual bath. I would like to try out a larger operation with it in the future, but will need to upgrade my bottle size for that.

So I don't do well with Solar materia in general. Even Regulus is not generally my vibe (tho I have had some luck pairing it with Cap3 but that's a different review). I wanted to buy a lot from this series to try and work on that relationship but intuition said no. I was only given the green light on this kolonia, and nothing else.

I'm glad that I listened to my gut, because this kolonia is perfect. I think that if I continue to work with it over time, my relationship to the solar realm will shift, but for now its just a lovely way to cleanse away the horrors of these times when I need an energetic reset. It brightens my spirit and refreshes my energy like a sweet spring morning. I imagine a lot of solar kolonia series could be harsh and intense but this one is pure, sweet, and lovely. Even for me!

GS I and II may be my favorites of all S+S’s offerings. They’ve made me feel so reassured, optimistic, uplifted, and softly confident; like the time of year when it becomes more noticeable that the days are growing longer and the land is awakening. It’s the perfect remedy for my fallen Libra Sun and compliment to my Leo rising.

I've been using this regularly during the winter, as my depression flares up during the dark/cold months, and it's helped lighten my spirits significantly.

My favorite kolonia for beaming brightly and unapologetically.

I’ve recently had some folks enter my orbit who just don’t seem to appreciate my naturally silly nature, but I rely on silliness to get through some days. Silliness as the antidote to a Saturn in fall is just how it has to be, and this kolonia really amps up my capability to feel joy in the face of those that would prefer me to be a sourpuss. Feels protective, but not stern. A literal smiley face emoji in a bottle : ) just… unbothered.

Brings a sparkly cleansing energy to my aura. It is extremely strong, and actually makes me very sleepy. I use with caution knowing I will get tired, like after a good energy healing or cleansing.

This kolonia is beautiful medicine for countering feelings of depression, melancholy, anxiety, fear, Saturn woes, lethargy, fatigue, and insecurity. I also find it supremely helpful for exercise and promotion of self care. Thank you S&S (:

Golden Sol II Kolonía

Pleasant, bright, citrucy scent. First part of the solar remediation ritual, highly recommended for anyone. I recommend using this kolonia in order to purify and clarify one's aura before working with the rest of GSII life changing materia.
