I'm deep in the con prep mines (if you're going to be at SacAnime spring... me too!) but I'm glad everyone seems to have enjoyed the forthcoming g'raha goods

BEHOLD… catboy collection

Trying to figure out when to roll out new labels for existing products has been more confusing than I think it maybe should be

This collection is going live tomorrow!!

Also, real life picture of me as I pull a fragrance oil called "Davy Jones' Locker" off my shelf to test in the new Limsa blend

I deeply underestimated how pungent this hops FO would be

I want to talk just a little bit about the process of developing the Silent Hill f collection, because it's maybe the most ✨cerebral✨ collection I've ever done and I'm really, really happy with how it turned out. (Basically just yapping about the thought process behind the scents and label designs)

The time for the traditional scent description thread is nigh!! Read on for photos and additional information!

I don't go nuts talking about ~the process~ very much because I don't know how much that interests folks, but this collection was such a product of really strong inspiration that I couldn't NOT talk about it :')

At this point, you can probably say that in addition to adding new scents, I'm basically giving most of the FFXIV collection a facelift! Some older labels are going to start getting redesigned, and a few scents need to be reformulated due to components being discontinued or suppliers closing

Also what do you MEAN I've been doing this for five years already

Woe, G'rahapocalypse be upon ye (I'm making pre-CT and Crystal Exarch versions to go with the current post-ShB one)

Preliminary research and swatch testing for new XIV scents has started :)

Our latest collection, inspired by Silent Hill f, is coming on March 28. This collection has 6 scents, and, in addition to the usual offerings, is introducing incense to the product lineup. Stay tuned for scent descriptions and product photos...

Since I just finished up my ARR replay and have gotten a tiny bit into Heavensward, I'm having some thoughts about new scents inspired by old friends-- maybe the city-state leaders, maybe taking another crack at Minfilia, maybe Tataru and Nanamo, definitely Ysayle

I also might bring Aymeric back again for my own enjoyment even though he historically has not sold very well :(

In continuing to align all my product types, some more previously candle/melt-only FFXIV scents will become available as wearables, and some that only had a roll-on will have a fragrance balm version added!

Additionally, Estinien wax melts got updated photos to reflect the current label design! The glitter colors have also been changed slightly :) Grab these here: www.luminiscandleco.com/products/the...

Haurchefant wax melts are finally back to inflict more hot chocolate-scented psychological damage! Grab them here: www.luminiscandleco.com/products/oh-...

This new carrot seed oil (right cup) I got is SO orange what the heck Usually rosehip oil (left cup) is the most strongly colored carrier oil I use and the last bottle of carrot seed I got was like a medium greenish yellow so I’m mystified

Just added: wearable versions of the Y'shtola, Urianger, and Venat scents (all available as fragrance balms and roll-on perfume oils), plus fragrance balm versions of both Emet-Selch scents finally joining the roll-on variety! Links to the balm and roll-on listings below!

Also I'll probably be putting together XIV sample vials soon since there are about 500 million things in that collection

In other news, I've picked FFXIV back up after a couple years of burnout! I'm starting over from the beginning, so if there are any characters or locations I haven't done scents for yet, who (from any part of the story) do you think I should keep my eye on for new scents in the future?

Due to supply shortages, my Wuk Lamat inspired scent has been reformulated! The new blend contains a lot of the same notes, but this version leans fruitier, with less emphasis on the coconut and spice notes. You can grab it and the rest of the scents here: www.luminiscandleco.com/collections/...

If you haven’t gotten to check out the new goodies yet, everything is live here: www.luminiscandleco.com/collections/...

The new listings go live in an hour! Everything will populate here at 12:00 pm: www.luminiscandleco.com/collections/...

good news: finished making new shop listings in time for launch tomorrow

I'm starting to zero in on some Silent Hill f blends now, too, so keep an eye out for more info on that :)

Let's talk about the Pomefiore body product line that's launching alongside the new scents on Sunday! This little collection includes three lip products, two facial moisturizers, a hand cream, and a hair & body mist :) More details and pictures threaded below!

Tomorrow!! Take a look at the new scents if you haven't yet!

It's scent descriptions time!!! Read on for info on and pictures of the new scents being added to the collection-- details on the skincare products (etc) will receive their own thread, but know that most skin products have the same scent as their wax counterparts.

On Sunday, Feb. 8, the Twisted Wonderland collection will be complete! Jack, Ruggie, Rook, Sebek, and Silver are joining the lineup, and each dorm will have its own listing for each product type: candles, melts, and wearable fragrances. Stay tuned for pictures and scent descriptions!
