"There's no place like home."
The Wizard of Oz
Glinda the Good Witch tells Dorothy that all she needs to do to return home is to close her eyes, click the heels of her ruby slippers together three times and she'll be there. These seemingly magical shoes have the power to transport us to the limits of our imagination...haven't we all wished at some point in our lives that we owned a pair of magical ruby slippers? But the magic isn't really in the soles of the slippers, rather it is within our souls. The wise Glinda also teaches Dorothy how to return home to Kansas with a new awareness of how to face her personal challenges. Her ticket home is in the understanding of what she carries within herself — wisdom, passion, and fortitude. The lesson? We are more powerful than we realize.....truly, the magic is within us. You've always had the power, my dear. You've had it all along.
Our Ruby Slippers perfume is rich and graceful blend of jasmine and dark fruits. Top notes of bright citrus open up to a summery heart of red and black currants, raspberry, peach and pineapple. Jasmine blossoms envelope the fruit notes with a dreamy, romantic floral aroma. Rich base notes of tonka, amber, black tea, and hints of anise and oak barrel add a lovely balancing depth. Surprisingly sophisticated!
Bottled in a red glass roller with just a touch of red glitter! Oh and yes, those ruby slippers in the pic are on display in our soap boutique! ;)
This listing for one 10ml roll-on bottle.
Ingredients: Fractionated coconut oil and fragrance; biodegradable eco-glitter
Ruby Slippers Perfume Oil Roller
Perfume oil rollers do not contain any alcohol and thus won't have the staying power of a true parfum. However, here's a few tips to get the most out of each application:
- Apply your perfume oil to moisturized skin. Aroma molecules evaporate far more slowly on well hydrated skin. Dry skin will quickly dissipate fragrance as well as those lighter and brighter top notes and floral heart notes.
- Apply after bathing/showering when possible, when pores are open for maximum absorption.
- Try layering your scented products for a longer aromatic experience. Select scents that complement and/or have similar note profiles. A scented lotion or body oil will moisturize AND maximize scent retention.
- Apply to pulse points but do NOT rub in (rubbing will make the top notes burn off more quickly!). If you apply more than you wanted, simply tap your wrists together or dab on another pulse point. Warmth exuded from these points will project scent the longest. Best pulse points: wrists, neck/behind ears, collar bones, heart space, inner elbows (a great spot for long-lasting diffusion!), and behind knees.
- However, there are certain spots that experts DO NOT recommend applying any perfume to, inlcuding eyes, face, privates, scalp, and any irritated, damaged skin (including cuts, scrapes, etc).
- Remember that citrus and floral notes are the most fleeting so a floral-forward scent will dissipate much more quickly than a woodsy or gourmand blend. Thus you may have to reapply these lighter blends a few times throughout the day.
- Also remember that you will get used to your signature scent and won't notice it as much as those surrounding you. So don't be too quick to overapply!
- Keep in mind that if you've been to the gym and worked up a sweat, you'll need to reapply post-shower.
- Store your perfume roller in a cool, dark place for longest shelf life. Do not allow your roller bottle to be exposed to direct sun, excessive heat, high humidity (ahem, like the bathroom), or anywhere that it will be exposed to drastic temperature changes.
