Incense + Powder of Exalted Venus II
Organic and wildcrafted herbs of a Venusian purview, including lavender, damiana, red clover, spearmint, and sundry others, fumigated during Sphere + Sundry’s Exalted Venus II election following prayers and offerings to the Fairer Benefic.
Ground in the day and hour of Venus following months of quiet incubation, with the addition of sandalwood, benzoin, frankincense, genuine copper leaf, vanilla bean, purple jade, and pink amethyst.
Ingredient ratios are adjusted to account for scent when burning, and makko powder added to perpetuate it.
Create a small, peaked mound or draw lines over ash or sand. Light one end or the top until it catches, and enjoy.
Burn as an offering; smoke bathe the body, or use as a fumigant for space clearing, inviting connection, comfort, and all manner of love.
Offered in a 1/2 oz glass vial with cork top or 2 oz bulk pot.
Note that Sphere + Sundry’s Incense Powders are designed to be burned *without* charcoal, on beds of premium ash in a firesafe dish or plate. Pour ash, then pat or use a tool to create a relatively smooth surface. Pour the desired amount of Incense Powder into the palm of your non-dominant hand, and use the other to assemble a thin peaked mound, line, or sigil, pinch by pinch. These can be quite thin if desired. The neater and more ridged your shape is, the better it will burn! Light the top of the ridge to ignite.
Taking time to prepare Incense in this way can be a meditative and centering experience, and allows the practitioner to create custom burn times with zero waste. If your line ends up too long, simply use a knife to ‘cut’ the fresh powder away from the ignited portion to use later.

Great Offering to Venus on Fridays. I got the small bottle and it lasted for months.
This is my favorite Venus series. It is subtle and oh so sweeeet. Incredibly relaxing, expansive. It is ok just to be.
This incense might be my favorite-smelling one in the catalog so far. I love to burn it on the mantelpiece in the evening-- it's a great way to wind down. I also am sure to burn some when my mother is coming for a visit; we have a complicated relationship, and it smooths out the edges. A favorite!
I am currently house sitting for several months and the home and bedroom needed softening. After cleaning and clearing I engaged in this and the home felt like a pillow after. When I first engaged with this incense I used it in meditation and I felt a shift in my openness to meeting and engaging with others. Highly recommend for your toolbox!
A lovely sweet herbal lavender. It's one of the most subtle incenses for me, but I think perhaps that is the beauty of Exalted Venus itself - things don't have to be complicated or elborate, but can just be and be enjoyed in that way itself.
I used this incense countless times during Saturn in Pisces. It really helped me to navigate that transit and by the end of it, it was far more bearable than the beginning. At the start of it, I experienced quite a lot of grief and heartbreak that is fully healed by now and I can certainly credit this incense with some of that healing work.
Perfect and very practical for Venus remediations and burning as an offering to Venus on Fridays
I have started using this incense as an offering with a Venus remediation practice….all i can say is, I can’t recommend it enough, especially as an offering. It is POTENT. If you are looking to heal Venus issues - self worth and self love - seriously give this incense a try, especially on Monday nights! If I didn’t have housemates I’d be burning this incense allllll the time bc it actually smells so good!
This is perfect for my Friday Venus routine, I love the smell, everything in this series smells amazing!
I love how sweet and magical this incense is. I recently lit some as an offering to Venus while she was in Pisces. That day, a Pisces stellium friend with Venus in Pisces came over and we had the most lovely time hanging out. The most wonderful and surprising part was that this turning into a cuddle session followed by my friend inviting me in for some sensual topless touch. That was VERY unexpected and I am very grateful for it.
Sensual, uplifting incense - I use it for Friday offerings to Venusian spirit allies and in tandem witb other materia from this series for a boost of self acceptance and love.
I have been using this as a weekly (or more) offering to Venus, and it has changed my relationship to the fairer benefic completely. I have an afflicted Venus in my chart, but she's my chart ruler, which has been something difficult to navigate my entire life. Soothes my anxious, obsessive Scorpio Venus, and has been teaching me to let go and find pleasure and beauty in myself. Highly recommended.
Sweet, herbal, sensual-smelling - fills the room with a rather dreamy aroma equally suited to a blissful night of sleep or erotic pursuits. Fantastic at clearing the air of ill feelings. Even led to a lovely afternoon of platonic cuddles with a new acquaintance recently. Adapts to nature of need and relationship type.
This incense is like having an incredibly astute, patient and hot friend by your side, holding you in whatever state you may be in. I use this incense to relax, feel pretty and carefree, beloved, and like nothing can get in the way of joy and pleasure.
This incense just hits and Freya has been very receptive to receiving it during offerings. It smells Lucious and rich when burning and fills the air with a warm breeze of uplifting energy. Definitely one of my favourite blends.
I got a small sample of this in a trade and I am about to buy the full size. This series is just Chef's Kiss already but the smoke is especially gorgeous and uplifting! If you got venus problems--this is just the thing for it
When I ran out of this incense, it was like missing an old friend. What more need I say?
I have a history of difficult trauma that makes physical intimacy a tricky situation for me. I bought this incense specifically to help me feel safe and positive in these situations, and it has *really* worked for me. The energy of this incense is so gentle, yet powerful and affirming. It helps me feel present and it helps me feel *good* - not stuck in the painful past. It makes me happy just thinking about the smell of this incense! I'd whole-heartedly recommend this incense for anyone who might have a similar situation.
This is a beautiful incense, it has the best scent of all the ones I own. It clears the ritual space for devotion and is so relaxing. I find it's best using it in the evening. I use this a lot more than I thought I would - it pairs well with Asclepius, Fomalhaut and all Jupiter materia - so if you like this sort of incense I'd recommend getting the bigger pot.
I love this incense for the cozy, loving and pleasurable mood that it sets. It eases tension and offers the opportunity to relax into enjoyment, to receive. Its juicy and divine and intimate and serene. Pairs beautifully with Butter Ocean and Luna in Cancer.
One of the best smelling incenses I have tried from S+S. The energy that comes with it is calm an serene. I love to use it for the days when I need to let go and not be clingy to the outcome I have imagined. Usually and relaxation sets in with it comes the desirable result.
I both gave this as a gift to a friend moving into a shared creative work space and gifted it to myself also for use at work. Definitely promotes harmony, getting along with both close buddies and those with whom I have a little conflict. In general makes creative, home and work relationships a bit softer, smoother and optimistic.
I make some botanical medicines-- generally salves, tinctures, teas, body oils, etc. I haven't ever tried to make an incense. This smells so inviting and luscious, the little lines of smoke curl and wave and billow in a mesmerizing way. I love the ritual of it at night, just for a minute's pause and appreciation.
I use during Venusian devotions and love the smell
Definitely one of my favorite incenses to use! Not just from S+S, but in general. It's an herby-lavender scent, and it smells good, but what I really appreciate most is the energy. I feel instantly calmer, happier, more able to embody my feminine self & beauty... I could go on. Indispensable materia for me!
I love this incense! It has been a staple in my weekly Venus rituals and it always softens the mood. My natal Venus is at 0 degrees Pisces, so I love bathing in this to enhance my best Piscean qualities - I am a musician/DJ and will bathe in this incense before a gig, which seems to always result in a connected and giving crowd! I plan to buy more to keep bathing before work, it's been a delight to experience.
I bought this with several other incenses for planetary devotions. It's my Friday night go-to, which is great for just for disconnecting, unwinding and transitioning into to the weekend. Smells immaculate, like all S+S stuff. It gives a similar vibe to Butter Ocean, I guess since they're both in Pisces, but this feels much less cosmic and more physical, if that makes any sense.
S+S incense just hits different but this one especially is just so special. It is so easy to control how much you use; a hack I recently found that I've become really into is to use one of those very small spoons that you can use with bulk spices. The smell is totally divine! I highly recommend this product, you will not be disappointed!
A truly gorgeous scent— one that makes me feel as though all is right with the world for the time being. There’s a palpable energetic shift in my apartment whenever I burn it, and the quality of visible light seems to shift & lift a little bit too, giving everything a sort of glow.

I recently adopted a very young female ferret in hopes she’d be a companion for my older male ferret, but I was concerned at first because they really weren’t getting along. (For the record, I don’t use scents around my pets, and I keep the door shut to the room where they live whenever I burn incense, candles, plant matter, etc.) Anyway, one afternoon I burned some of this incense in my bedroom, and as the last tiny glowing ember went from orange to ash, the thought crossed my mind that perhaps the ferrets would be affected by the materia. I left my room, crossed the apartment, and opened the door to see the two of them snuggled up together in a little pile of blankets, the little one lovingly grooming and licking the older one’s ears, as he blissfully rested with his eyes closed. I was barely able to catch the slightest hint of scent from the incense, but I really had to sniff around for it, otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed it. It was quite a pleasant surprise to see such a drastic turnaround, and they’ve been the best of friends since then.
Not a single item I’ve ordered from S&S has been a disappointment in the slightest— this stuff really works. Thank you so much!
