THE CLOAK OF APHRODITE (SOLD OUT! SORRY!)

Aphrodite clothed herself with garments which the Kharites and Horae had made for her and dyed in flowers of spring – such flowers as the Horae wear – in crocus and hyacinth and flourishing violet and the rose’s lovely bloom, so sweet and delicious, and heavenly buds, the flowers of the narcissus and lily. In such perfumed garments is Aphrodite clothed at all seasons.

Though this is an oil of sensuality and sensual delight, it is also an oil of the arts: creating art, appreciating art, embracing art. This oil amplifies personal beauty in all forms, and amplifies the power of the arts to sustain us, resolve conflict, and educate us. It is an oil that enhances the power of art to create a sense of harmony, concord, and community.

A DISTANT SONG

Whether awake or sleeping,
I cannot rest for long:
By my casement comes creeping
A distant song.

A song like the chiming of silver
Bells which the breezes play,
Seeming to float for ever
Towards an unseen day:

A song that is weary with sorrow,
Yet knows not any defeat:
Through the past, through to-day, through to-morrow,
It echoes on life’s long street.

Could I but make words of its power,
Bring it from the future here,
Men’s souls would be waking, that hour,
To the victory against fear.

But the vague sweet stanza befools me
With its calm joy, time after time,
And no failure here ever schools me
To cease from an idle rhyme.

That music afar, unspoken,
’Tis I have done it wrong:
I caught, and I have broken,
A distant song.

This oil was inspired by a poem that reflects an aspect of Venus’ dance with Spica: A Distant Song by John Gould Fletcher. This oil assists in healing emotional wounds caused by fear, pain or resentment. It helps enable people to be more loving and more receptive to love.

A distant song

This is the most delicious scent I'm not even sure how to describe it, the energy is of luxuriating in everything, tantalizing, yearning, playful. I've worn it socializing to a friends night I organized which brought out the best enjoyment from everyone it seemed and then on a date night where the food and drinks and... mmmm... afterwards were all so incredibly sensual. Really beautiful for allowing your body to feel pleasure and soak it all in with no guilt in sight

Laughter, Eyes Shining, Harvest

I'm so glad for the bpals, VAD is a version of venus I've had a harder time connecting to but these have made it easier.
Laughter Loving is great for busting down anxiety before social gatherings, ensuring a good mood and lighter atmosphere.
Her Eyes That Were Full of Shining put's a bight, warm star inside you, making you feel radiant and sultry all by yourself. No one else's validation is needed!
Aphrodite's Harvest is something I still feel like I haven't been able to grasp yet, like the work is happening but I'm not ready or able to see it- I try to use it when it feels right, hopefully there is more to be gained from it soon! I've had this bottle for years but I still feel like I need to hold on to it like its purpose will reveal itself in its own time.

A Distant Song

Upon my initial use of this one I was thrown by the strength of the cardamom, which put me off a bit. Time passed and I approached again. Now my nose is far less sensitive to the spiciness and more engaged with the fullness of the formula. Once again, time has been involved in developing a r/ship with a BPAL. Now I notice I travel with the scent, where I do not know, nor do I want to define as the destination seems to change, like a breeze.
“Seeming to float for ever
Towards an unseen day:”
I confess I do not understand the last stanza’s connect to the perfume, nor do I understand Spicas role here. My natal sun is conjoined Spica…perhaps as time passes I may discover! In summation: this is specialized & beautiful in my experience, truly lifting me away from the known to new possibilities.

Thankful!

I've layered aphrodite's cloak with an oil from the sphere + sundry Deneb Algedi series. Wanting to draw in benevolent people, places, experiences and abundance while still remaining grounded and appropriately boundaried. All I can say is wow! Since beginning wearing this oil only a few weeks ago I've made so many new connections within my creative field as well as friendships and new romances. I feel grateful.

You can't go wrong with the BPals...

I received my Cloak of Aphrodite while a friend was over and we were reviewing footage for a film we are making. When it came, I was really excited and I let her try it first. I was so excited that my pretty lady collaborator got to smell it first. She's a wonderful artist who I love working with. So I thought it arrived into my life at a really perfect moment. Which the BPals tend to do...

Cloak of Aphrodite is gorgeous. As a fragrance, it's more floral than I usually choose at first. But the drydown on me is like one simple rose. I have anointed the cloth on my Venus altar with this and I am just using it daily for a while. I already have a pretty solid practice as an performer/filmmaker but I'm finding myself drawing and painting more---just for the pleasure and the flow and not for an audience. I've found that to be very restorative.

You really can't go wrong with BPal, it's always an exciting experiment---whether it is their original stuff or the S+S collabs---I'm just such a fan. Most of all, I love sharing them with my friends. I love passing things on, sharing experiences, seeing how different things smell on different people. And I feel really extra good about doing that with Venus materia.

Pleasure in a bottle

Her Eyes Were Full Of Shining is perhaps my all-time favourite. As a native of Venus in Libra, it has been an enlightening experience to explore this side of my natal Venus. I went through 4 or 5 bottles of this potion past last few years and the outcome of application (at least for me personally) ALWAYS ends up delightfully sensual. If you're looking for pleasure in a bottle, seek no further!

Aphrodite's Harvest

After working with this BPAL off and on for almost two years, I can truly say that it helps with the lack of Air placements in my chart.
I'm an overthinker by nature, but this offering really put a stop to the endless loops of excuses and procrastinations that would take over any creative endeavors I had. My worthiness wound is truly healing and I know I will be using this perfume more often as I enter into a 7th house profection year.

Laughter-Loving, for anyone who has a hard time with Venus

I plan to get more BPALs from this series, but so far Laughter-Loving has been delightful. I have a difficult relationship with Venus, so when I first received this BPAL, I really didn't like it. It felt too cheery and joyful and I was not ready. However, over time, it has sweetened and met me where I am, becoming an amazing ally in connecting to the energy of Venus again. It's become a regularly used BPAL in my collection now as I continue to open up to Venus and build a relationship with her. I'd definitely recommend this one to anyone getting started with Venus and has been avoiding her sphere for whatever reason.

A Distant Song

This perfume has been so potent in facilitating heart-felt conversations, including voicing concerns about equity and relational equilibrium at large. Very grateful.

A recipe for a perfect dinner party with Laughter-Loving

As a person who hosts a few family dinner gatherings a year, Laughter-Loving has been a true life saviour for me. My partner's grandmother might be a Libra Sun, yet she is known among the family to be a notoriously difficult woman (NOT in a cool, rebel way). The Sun in its fall manifests itself in her chart through the self-centeredness that completely lacks the ability to recognise others and constantly loops the topic back to the self, all the while everyone present discreetly rolls their eyes. HOWEVER, my "to-go-trick" became putting a few drops of Laughter-Loving in the aroma mist diffuser and leaving it on for the time of gathering. I also put a drop or two into a spray bottle with filtered water and gently spray the table cloth before everyone arrives for dinner. It is truly amazing how it transforms the atmosphere into one where all the mishaps and personal flaws become a point of good-hearted laughter or are simply ignored in a favour of a different subject. I would whole-heartedly recommend this to anyone who's in need of a little help in making sure everyone is having a good time and leaves with a smile on their face!
