I knew I had to get this when I heard what it was about. It doesn't disappoint. You do have to take care not to get distracted by other creative things, but if you manage to focus, it will work very well for you. I haven't touched a piece in a while because real life kept eating me, but with this oil (and some Honey and Quicksilver) I managed to get a decent chunk of revisions done within an hour.

I really enjoy the Quicksilver Tongue series, and this oil is no exception. I’ve used it to anoint pendants, workspaces, and even pens for my writing projects! I personally find that it really does allow my creativity to flow better, helping me to relax and have fun with whatever artistic impulses come through. Also the vial looks absolutely beautiful with the plants and herbs inside! I have several different items from this series, and I do think the oil is the strongest, all-purpose option, especially for anyone who is looking to anoint themselves, workspaces, or objects like jewelry. It also lasts a long time, because a little goes a long way! To sum up, I’m glad I was able to purchase this oil, and I’d definitely recommend it to my fellow creatives.

I bought this oil with an eye toward applying its powers toward a large, long-term creative project, i.e. a “great work”. In the year and a half that I’ve been using it I’ve anointed talismanic objects, candles, notebooks, myself, and I’ve trusted in its quiet presence and my clear intention for its use. I’ve stayed with my project no matter how many times I’ve been tempted to bail, and the work is still in progress. (Once I was thisclose to abandoning the project and then a baby peacock appeared in a dream begging me not to kill it, which I understood immediately to be QT stepping in.) I can report an off-project use with a clear result, though! The night before my mom’s memorial I started losing my voice, which was going to be a problem as I would be speaking all the way through and delivering her eulogy. I heavily anointed my throat chakra with the oil that night and the next morning, and my voice came in strong for the memorial and never faltered throughout.

Quicksilver Tongue was my introduction to working with Mercury, and I feel that it has spoiled me for all subsequent Mercury series. It's just so fun and easy to work with! Definitely my favorite for creative writing; when you give this Mercury a clearly-defined goal, it seems much more compatible with said goals rather than passively applying it and then hoping it might inspire better focus. Otherwise, this Mercury is very loose and breezy, and will be perfectly content to just listen to music and stare out the window to watch the butterflies flitting by. It can be relaxing whereas the others (later series) can be more stimulating, but this Mercury isn't going to put you to sleep: there are too many interesting things to attract its attention! I'm a bit obsessed with the scent, too; very light and intriguing, quite similar to Moon-Neptune in Pisces oil. Dreamy, with a strange, elusive undertone that's difficult to articulate -- kind of indolic, but in a super-diluted way? 'Animalic' isn't exactly right, either, since it barely qualifies as 'musky'... whatever it is, it's subtle and really captivating. I've never ever regretted using this oil, no matter what I'm doing. Such a *friendly* Mercury to work with!

This may be one of the most delicious smelling oil from S+. It smells of honey with a slightly sweet floral undertone. Very easy to apply. I am giving it 4 stars as it took a while for my 12 House Mercury to get used to this energy. It made me sleepy at first. I find it good for solitary activities when I need to feel the "flow" like when I practise calligraphy by myself. It's very relaxing and fun energy.

As a nervous, anxious, socially awkward 12H Libra / Scorpio rising this oil finally lets me CALM THE FUCK DOWN and get out of my head and just be light, and human, and free. From the first application this has never failed me and is always a pure, easygoing delight. I love this for dinners w friends or new group situations which are making me anxious. It’s a beautiful, decadent, deep breath.

This oil really is delightful - light, carefree, gentle and uplifting. I have also found its support in enabling the flow of creative juices and just for the overall enjoyment of being in this kind of space. Great for relaxation but also for works that require right brain-left brain fusion.

My favorite post pandemic “get back to social life” oil. Got a big help from this oil with mandatory going back to office days. Gives ease in finding the right words at the right time with any person in the room or online. The fluorite roller looks so pretty, I admire it every time I used it. Smell pleasantly tasty too.

I've oft referred to this oil as the talismanic equivalent of a Swiss army knife, for its blend of diverse influences lending themselves well to applications far as the eye can see. Its mercurial notes lend themselves well to commerce, craftsmanship, intake of information, and even altering the passage of time (or my perception of it); its Venusian influence aids the aesthetic and social sensibilities; and Jupiter gives luck, inspiration, mentorship, and a lighthearted nature. Almost anything you can think of, this series is a good fit for: I've used it to socialize when I didn't feel like it (and ended up having a lovely time), I've used it to learn on the fly how to rewire a critically needed appliance which broke in the dead of night (successfully, might I add, despite having no training but a YouTube video - and instead of being stressed out by the whole ordeal, I quite enjoyed the learning process!), I've used it to make many a graveyard shift pass faster, etc., etc. But where it really shines is in its use in artistic pursuits of any kind, where it turns the venture into a fun, often fruitful learning experience, grants all the inspiration one could ever need and then some, makes it easier to learn and apply new skills, and at the end, to critique one's own work and let the room to grow inspire, rather than discourage.

With Saturn in my first house, I need help sometimes shifting into a playful mood. This oil brings a sense of playfulness, delight, and silliness into play. Great for hanging out with friends or lighthearted creative endeavours.
