5 out of 5 starsIt's a bit chocolatey and herby. It gives the vibe of receiving a tarot reading with a cup of hot tea and a cookie. I love it so much. It's a wonderful scent. Edit: Also, as a ritual tool *nods* SOLID.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my FAVORITE so far of the potions I've ordered from Deb. It truly is what luxuriousness smells like. And as usual, the packaging is thoughtful, beautiful and prompt.

5 out of 5 starsThis oil exceeded my expectations! I've bought MANY oils from her before (enjoy them all) AND Luxuria made me sigh in the best way. It's smells like it's name and I'm going back to get another bottle right away.

Lost Arts Found in Suburbia
The Mermaid and the Crow was founded in 2008 by Deborah Castellano.
Ms. Castellano is an avid promoter and purveyor of historic handicrafts, and has dedicated her career to bringing these lost arts out of the museums and back into practice. An average day in her workshop-- nicknamed the Spare Oom-- will have her tending a wide variety of anachronistic arts: from kettle dying wool, to working her spinning wheel in her bare feet, to swirling her pestle in her mortar while she hand presses her perfume oils.
Every item offered by The Mermaid and The Crow is handcrafted in this old-world style setting from 100% local, sustainable sources. Ms. Castellano is actively engaged in the broader handicraft community, and is passionate about using her work to promote the gifts of other artisans. Her vision includes not only running The Mermaid and The Crow as a business, but coaching aspiring crafters in these lost arts, as well as creating each and every one of her items herself, by hand, without modern machinery. Every fragrance formulation is unique; beeswax candles are poured by hand into their molds; Dream Ambassadors are brought to life through needle felting; tiny terrarium accents are carefully assembled; and Nuno felted scarves are wet-scrubbed on a washboard beneath the loving hand of the artist herself.
Ms. Castellano is proud to offer exclusive access to her exquisite work via The Mermaid and The Crow shop on Etsy.com.
