Handmade Jaguar's Breath Incense

Everybody here at White Witch was so impressed by the standard of Nathaniel Musselman's Kyphi that we wanted him to make something new especially for us. Kyphi is used to relax and help sleep so we asked for something that was going to stimulate and excite and fire people with enthusiasm. We wanted an incense that could be burned at celebrations, at parties, while doing creative work and while dancing, singing and studying. Our expectations were exceeded by miles as Jaguars Breath suits it all and so much more.
Nathaniel began his investigating and studying for the project. He kept us informed every step of the way. His passion and his attention to detail go hand in hand with his creative genius. Every ingredient used was chosen with care and attention to purity and quality.
Jaguar's Breath is Mesoamerican inspired and heavily influenced by Aztec and Mayan components. Nathaniel began the arduous task of expeimenting with different blends and materials. Jaguar's breath has been described as shamanic, and narcotic, the perfume from the smoke is tenacious, evocative and wild. The whole project took six months to complete. There is a wet version and a dry version. The wet version contains vanilla infused honey and mezcal.

Shelly Waddington to Teach Unit at Natural Perfume Academy

We have a new addition to the Natural Perfume Academy's year long Natural Botanical Perfume course starting in May. Shelley Waddington is going to teach a unit about Isolates. "The use of natural isolates is a new cutting edge trend in natural perfumery. This course is designed to allow the perfume student to take advantage of this new trend by providing a basic understanding of what an isolate is, how it is produced, and how to incorporate isolates into their own perfume compositions. The student will also receive a comprehensive bibliography for personal reference. Upon completion of this unit, the student will have a basic understanding of natural isolates and will be ready to begin blending using these fragrance materials. A kit of natural isolates will be available at the store and is highly recommended for the course."

A stress free existance and a perfume blending evening

It's been ages, I know, and I apologize to readers for my absence. I have been following up on my goals for 2009. Main goal... to make it the best year yet . To achieve this as you can imagine is no easy task in today's world! I have been reading and looking after my family and the rest can just go and take a hike because I ain't buying into anything that raises my stress-o-meter out of the zero zone! When I was reading I found out some very interesting stuff about females. Women need a hormone called oxytocin to feel good and to lower our stress levels. The more we have the better we feel. We also need something called serotonin to effectively cope with normal day to day living in a nice happy mood. Women use up serotonin twice as fast as men and men store 50% of their serotonin for emergencies. Men are also able make new serotonin twice as fast as women. For me the key to a stress free existence is to make more oxytocin and find ways to make my body create serotonin
