Water of Antares

I mainly wear this before workouts or when attempting to commune with Antares when the moon is conjunct the star.

Cumin-forward, but pleasant. Provides direction and focus.

Seconding one of the reviews I read before ordering that calls this one magical pre-workout. Couldn't agree more. As described, gives a great kick to initiate tasks, even/especially ones I've been procrastinating or don't really want to do, without leading to excess frustration or outbursts that I'm unfortunately prone to. Truly only a spritz over the crown of the head is all you need, and thankfully that means this one will be lasting me a long time!

This water is fantastic and as described - it's definitely a gentle motivator and doesn't feel as intimiating as other Antares offerings. I followed the instructions to use it as an aura spray and it helped me get started with things, which can be difficult as I have ADHD. With just one spritz, I found it gently effective with no aggressive side effects (which is good, as I can run quite fiery!)

I love this Water! It's so energizing and focusing. It would be a great form to begin with if you are not sure how to work with Antares. I love a spritz above my crown and have noticed that this Water in particular seems to last a long time. I really love it. Highly recommend!

Makes you feel energized and fantastic. If you are depressed this really gets you out of the rut, and gives you the power to tackle the day, and the will to live! It's like a small boost of confidence and taking action.

When I got this, I got the attuning tincture as well. While I feel the attuning tincture is throughout the day and has the potential to make a person irritable and annoyed over the course of a day. This feels much more safe and for the moment. It invokes the motivation to go out and do something rather than 'waiting' to do it. Ive taken it for the gym, and found amazing results, as well as playing tennis.

I’ve used the Antares hydrosol over the past few weeks. The first day of aura attuning and spraying above the crown was intense but really primed the pump. Compared to the Mars in Scorpio or Exalted Sol waters I own, this one literally kicks (your) ass. I use it very early in the morning and wakes me up faster than my coffee takes to make and lets me complete my martial tasks with a sense of immediacy, purpose, and motivation.

I like this water for accessibility to Martial energy on the go. While using other materia from this series especially from Scorpio subset requires premeditation and some sort of setting direction for the energy. This water just gives energy at the spot without many questions asked.

I like this Water and use it for some work days, especially when I know I haven't had as much sleep as I should. It provides a kind of energizing clarity and the strength to get through whatever I'm facing. When using this Water with the Antares oil and some other materia it is much like something kicks in ... from within. Like a motor that is slow to start (before application) but steady after it gets going.

This Water is helpful for layering with several other series such as EM, Mercury in Gemini, and EV II for a boost of momentum and mental clarity. It's also good for supporting executive function in general and slaying minor tasks I've been procrastinating on.

The ideal pre-workout spritz, especially if you want something lighter in intensity/duration than the oil. (I also spritz this before playing tough video games--it helps me not give up!)
