REOPENING will be tonight, Tuesday, May 16th at 7 pm EST at www.solsticescents.com. We will be bringing back recurring Spring Collection perfumes, Estate Vanilla EDP, White Feather EDP, White Fox oil and EDP, During the Rain perfume oil (no EDP), a reformulated Basilica perfume oil (no EDP), a new perfume called Iced Wisteria and some additional restocks of primarily General Catalog perfumes. We will have a selection of Whipped Soaps and Glaces as well. Please see below this message for a full list of what will be available and the description of Iced Wisteria.
Most of the full size products currently displaying on the website will be available; some items are of limited quantities.
SAMPLE 5 AND 10 PACKS: The sample 5 and 10 pack options will change to remove perfumes we no longer have available, primarily any remaining fall and some winter perfumes. The packs will also be updated with the Spring Collection and restocked General Catalog offerings. Please DO NOT add these packs to cart with pre-selected samples before we reopen. We may not be able to fulfill your requests and this will cause a delay in the shipment of your order.
AFTER THE RAIN discontinued in current formula: Please note that while After the Rain natural botanical organic cane sugar alcohol based perfume will be returning, the quantities are limited and it is only being offered in 5 ml bottles. The current formula is being discontinued. It may be reformulated, but the new version will NOT be all natural. It will remain primarily natural, but one of the accords will be reworked with synthetics to replace naturals that can no longer be sourced.
DURING THE RAIN perfume oil will be available when we reopen, due to high demand. This is one of our Summer collection perfumes but it will be released when we reopen and carried through the summer.
PLEASE ALLOW FOR UP TO 14 DAYS FOR YOUR ORDER TO SHIP! We are preparing for a high volume of orders due to the long closure we've had and the debut of the Spring Collection upon reopening. We usually ask for up to 14 days for your order to ship during seasonal releases and larger restocks. For this year going forward, we are updating our turnaround time to up to 14 days across the board. During non-seasonal release/restock times, most orders we still be shipping in 48 hours or less. The 14 day turnaround time allows us some flexibility in times where we may need it. The website has been updated to refle ct this information.
A NOTE ON SHIPPING 60 ML EDPS: 60 ml EDPs must ship via USPS Parcel Select Ground in the USA. The post office does not always scan the package at receipt and often also does not scan it at the next facility. Tracking is spotty on this class of mail and it usually begins tracking once it has reached your state. When you receiving a tracking number from us, this means your order has actually shipped that day or the very next business day. We do not print labels and sit on packages. Please be patient for your tracking to update and know that this is a normal issue with this particular class of mail. During non-holiday times, you can expect an EDP shipping from us in Florida to take approximately 4 days to reach you on the east coast, 4 to 5 in the midwest, up to 8 for the west coast. The USPS website advertises 6 to 8 business days for this class of mail and the estimates given above are based on years of experience with this class. It does take a lot longer during the holidays, when USPS processes much higher volume.
BASILICA: Basilica perfume oil (no EDP) returns with a reformulation. It is very similar to the original. There are a few different labdanums used to replace the labdanum that can no longer be sourced, along with a few aromachemicals to soften and sweeten the labdanums, which trend a bit more resinous and slightly smoky on the dry down. This formula is a bit s tronger and longer lasting than the original. An exquisite green Hojary frankincense and smooth Somalian myrrh join the original frankincense resins sourced from various countries. The galbanum is also sourced from a different location. It is aromatically similar to the one used in the previous formula but not quite as pungent and ashy.
BASILICA 5 ml Perfume Oil
Labdanum, Vanilla, Frankincense, Rosewood, Myrrh, Sandalwood and Galbanum
NOT TO BE USED IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING.
REFORMULATED 2023. The scent of grand and humbling mosaics, haunting pipe organ notes, polished pews, smoldering resins and reverence.
Smokey galbanum essential oil dissipates quickly after initial application leading into a rich dose of sweet, sticky labdanum resin. Crystals of frankincense illuminated in eerie multicolored light streaming through vintage stained glass windows emerges from the labdanum followed by exquisite polished rosewood and a combination of dark myrrh, soft woods, a waft of heavenly vanilla and fragrant ashes. A juxtaposition of dark resins and light golden balsamic and sweet vanilla notes, a metaphorical interpretation of a timeless inspiration.
Basilica is comprised of a rich labdanum absolute which smells of sweet, balsamic golden amber, vanilla, essential oils of frankincense, including a very fine green Hojary, bright rosewood, myrrh, peru balsam, sandalwood, a few drops of galbanum and cedarwood. Basilica is very resinous and dry with sweet and softly smoky elements, a definite morpher. The frankincense blend is bold on initial application. The scent hugs intimately close to the skin on the dry down, but smells divine.
Basilica is available as a perfume oil only in the 5 ml rollerball full size and the 1 ml sample size.
ICED WISTERIA
Wisteria Ice Cream, Waffle Cone, Tahitian Vanilla, Sugar Cone, Lilac Infused Sugar
Iced Wisteria is a floral gourmand that opens with a blast of cold creamy wisteria flowers. Within a few minutes, the wisteria softens and a velvety ice cream infused with Tahitian vanilla beans, wisteria petals and lilac sugar begins to emerge. The gourmand aspects of the perfume unfold shortly thereafter as the floral elements become more delicate. A heart of Blackburn Parlor's vanilla waffle cone accord soon strongly diffuses alongside a soft wisteria halo. In the dry down, the sweet sugar cone and Tahitian vanilla ice cream come into focus as the wisteria recedes entirely and the waffle cone likewise softens. Iced Wisteria contains the DNA of Blackburn's Parlor, namely the waffle cone accord (no banana, chocolate, caramel) paired with the wisteria.
Iced Wisteria is an organic cane sugar alcohol based perfume available in all sizes and samples.
