Earth Star by Syd Buffman @sydbotanica.bsky.social debuted at Fumed Indie Perfume Expo in Chicago, and it’s coming home with me in full bottle format. Damp, warm earthiness cut by sharp herbs around an exquisite bouquet of wildflowers. Grounding and comforting, for lovers of wild places. #perfumesky

We contain multitudes. Ambition and drive, but also pain. The receipts of a life lived. Ribbon Dance by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is the heavy made light, the call to dance even when we feel weighted, that lifts our burdens with movement. #SotD #Nonbinary #tarot #PerfumeSky

When we find ourselves listless and wandering, find the little joys and celebrate them. Suspended Water Lily by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is a pond fairy celebration, important now and in memory. #SotD #tarot #PerfumeSky #Nonbinary

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. #Nonbinary #tarot #PerfumeSky #SOTd

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. #SotD #Nonbinary #PerfumeSky #tarot

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! 💖💖💖

An opened package with a note that reads:

“Thank you!!
XO [heart] Syd
P.S. Included some extra samples for you!”

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

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. #SotD #PerfumeSky #Nonbinary #tarot

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. #SotD #PerfumeSky #tarot #Nonbinary

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. #SotD #tarot #nonbinary #perfumesky

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.

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

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. #SotD #nonbinary #perfumesky #tarot

Discontent with current direction or stagnation of life or work? When the tower falls our principles, our guiding star will be there to guide us thru the night. Ribbon Dance by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is my companion with spice, buttery florals, and caramelly oud. #NichePerfume #SotD #tarot #NB

Feelings of discontent at our own workings are common. Forge emotional connections to the intimate world around you. *Cherishing* is an action, not just an ideal. Today I'm cherishing memories of a special day with @sydbotanica.bsky.social Suspended Water Lily. #SotD #NichePerfume #nonbinary #tarot

The way is steady but the returns are meager. Look to the support of those you love to share the burden with, in them you will find returns doubled. Matched with @sydbotanica.bsky.social Angelface, a bright pink reminder of the love in my life. #NichePerfume #tarot #Nonbinary #SotD
