Reversed VI and Knight of Swords straddle a bottle of Ribbon Dance by Syd Buffman for Syd Botanica

These upturned Swords indicate the urge to move on from something, but haste may lead somewhere we are ill-prepared to follow. Ribbon Dance by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is a reminder that slowing down can accomplish things faster.

The scent card for Liminal Creatures with the sample sprayer lying on it. Top notes are Coriander, Cumin, and Black Walnut. Middle notes are Deer's Tongue, Hay, and Buddahwood. Base notes are Resins, Castoreum, and Deer Musk. A poem at the bottom accompanies the scent. It reads: "Oh to be some furry creature. The plasmic ache of love combusts like a hot star into the void. Colossal. Endless. Let me die in Winter and come back as a sparkle in your black cosmic eye."

Quick sniff tonight is Liminal Creatures by @sydbotanica.bsky.social

A gentle animalic balanced with earthiness and resins. I am surrounded by curious woodland creatures too elusive to be seen except as brief glimpses in my peripheral vision. Wild but polite and unobtrusive.

A reversed King of Wands and reversed card 0 the Fool straddle a bottle of Butterfly Tamer by Syd Buffman for Syd Botanica

Risky recklessness and impulsive haste govern these two reversed cards. Butterfly Tamer by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is the perfect grounding aromatic perfume for quieting the overengaged senses and contemplate the drive for fight, flight, or fawn.

An opened package with a note that reads: “Thank you!! XO [heart] Syd P.S. Included some extra samples for you!”

Just got my package from @sydbotanica.bsky.social, which includes 2 additional samples I didn’t order! (I ordered a travel spray of Suspended Water Lily + samples of Butterfly Tamer, Honey Body, Liminal Creatures, and Meteorite. Syd also threw in Protean Desire and Ribbon Dance.) Thank you, Syd! 💖💖💖

SOTD: @sydbotanica.bsky.social Suspended Water Lily. 2nd day in a row wearing it. Trying to get through my sample so I can justify upgrading to a travel spray for my birthday. My sample is finally almost empty! It’s an ethereal, aquatic, indolic white floral, with some sweetness from a melon note

It’s not too frequently I lament opting for a travel bottle of #perfume before going for the full size. I am, however, in this specific mood over my little bottle of Suspended Water Lily by SYD @sydbotanica.bsky.social this morning. #SOTD #fragrance #pondfairyvibes

Beautiful Joshi! 🧡

The VII of Wands tarot sits next to a bottle of Ribbon Dance by Syd Buffman for Syd Botanica

The 7 of Wands speaks to perseverance. We are walking through fire and flames, but hold strong to your convictions, and you can end up stronger for it. Ribbon Dance by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is a gentle encouragement and steadfast support in one bottle.

A reversed VII of Chalices tarot sits next to a bottle of Suspended Water Lily by Syd Buffman for Syd Botanica

Reversed chalices indicate an uncontrolled flow of mental energy, a leak. When imagination runs out, anxieties remain. Suspended Water Lily by @sydbotanica.bsky.social fills the tank so I can take my time setting it upright.

Finally getting around to burning incense @sydbotanica.bsky.social sent to me, and the aftermath made for a beautiful moment to photograph. #incensesky #perfumesky

It reminds me of an eclipse - really pretty! 🖤

The IX of Cups - Joyful Revelry oracle sits next to a bottle of Suspended Water Lily by Syd Buffman for Syd Botanica

The older we get, the more it takes effort to find joy in revelry. This is a signal to seek out joy in one form or another. Suspended Water Lily by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is a reminder of a special time, bringing joy in remembering.

Have been in a lull with fragrance bc of poor health & lack of funds, but sitting with @sydbotanica.bsky.social and @linentutu.bsky.social ‘s scents has been slowly resurrecting me. They’re healing, creative, artistic, all the things I need right now.

Aww thank you! 🧡

I’ve been enjoying fragrance samples sent to me by @joshisense.bsky.social , several from SYD Botanica @sydbotanica.bsky.social and chose to wear Honey Body today. Fresh apricots absolutely dripping with honey, a luminous fragrance perfect for a lovely spring day. #SOTD #perfume #fragrance

Sending you well wishes 💗

@sydbotanica.bsky.social will be at Fragrance Fest! 🍍 Tickets: fragrance-fest-5.eventbrite.com #PerfumeSky #FragranceSky

Yay!! I’m so glad to hear this! Thank you! 🧡

SOTN: Honey Body by @sydbotanica.bsky.social my 15 ml arrived and I had to put it on. I’m so happy to have this intoxicating scent. Loved smelling ribbon dance even more than I was expecting. And Syd kindly sent me another sample of angelface which I love and will continue to wear and treasure

A reversed card VIII Strength sits next to a bottle of Suspended Water Lily by Syd Botanica, nose: Syd Buffman

The upturned strength card can mean both self-doubt and fear, but reminds us to lean on our outside sources of strength. Suspended Water Lily by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is a source for both me and my partner.

A reversed Ten of Swords tarot sits next to a bottle of Ribbon Dance by Syd Botanica

First single pull from this new(ish) deck is dead on. Today is a day of recovery, just what the reversed 10 of Swords calls for. My herbal medicine is a molasses thick tincture that relaxes mind, body, and heart - Ribbon Dance by @sydbotanica.bsky.social
#SotD #perfumesky #tarot #nonbinary

New beginnings! I hope you have a peaceful recovery day. Ribbon Dance is my comfort scent too lately! 💛
