Planetary Alchemy: Mars ~ Summer 2026

When you need the courage to face that which requires your strongest might, call on the aspects of Mars to enhance your psychic armor with this planetary vibrational fragrance. Fervor and fury fired in the blaze of tenacity and audacity, a piquant concoction of dark resins - dragon’s blood and attars of patchouli, benzoin, black musk and amber - seasoned with essential oils of cassia, clove and cardamom, readied for action in leather, cashmere, woodsmoke, and a dash of dry mineral salt. Scent: Forged steel and glowing embers. War, resolution, passion. Spicy dark resins. ☽ ✦ ☀ ✦ ☾ For decades, people have asked me to create a set of zodiac perfumes, and I've always declined. A fragrance created for just one sign automatically excludes 11/12ths of the potential audience, as most people would be unlikely to explore beyond the fragrance for their own sign. Everything changed when astrologer Ethan Huls suggested creating perfumes for the planets instead of the zodiac signs - enabling people to wear a perfume based on their entire natal chart, rather than just their birthday. A natal chart is much more than your Sun Sign. It's a unique blueprint based on your birth date, time, and place, revealing the planetary influences that make you who you are. By combining these planetary archetypes according to your own chart, you create a scent that uniquely expresses YOU. (If you would like Ethan to calculate your personal planets, please choose the offering entitled NATAL CHART.) Beyond astrology, these fragrances are a creative toolkit for intention, empowering you to craft your own blends for love, prosperity, protection, creativity, spiritual practice, or devotional work. They were designed to be worn in harmony rather than one at a time. While a few may feel like complete perfumes on their own, I think of them more as vibrational frequencies. Individually, each has its own character - while together, they create a finished chord. Each order will be accompanied by a printed copy of this CHEAT SHEET. Take note of the Planetary Attributes column which enables you to create your own spell potions based on your intent. This project turned out to be far more fun than I ever imagined, and I hope you'll have just as much fun exploring it.
