Exalted Venus: Mother of Sustenance Perfume

Only 21 bottles of exalted Venus: Mother of Sustenance Perfume will ever be made available.

In collaboration with Austin of BaneXBramble, Exalted Venus: Mother of Sustenance Perfume is the final form of a labor of love and a testament of three years spent experimenting and perfecting this fume made in honor of the Mother of Sustenance, she who is the very cause of generation and procreation, to call on her aid and to dispense her virtues for all workings of a Venusian hue. Most notably, when worn this perfume can help to attract an unmatched level of luck and fortune, opening the way for all good things to come to you and can help to attract generosity and pleasure in life. Beyond this, with Venus being the force of generation within the world, Mother of Sustenance Perfume can help to boost and strengthen financial gain and aid in the generation of income through expexted and unexpected means. Looking even further, and pulling from known talismanic ascriptions, Exalted Venus wares can help to attract all good and benevolent things while also boosting peace and harmony in the lives of those who work with them. In terms of love and romance, Mother of Sustenance can help with the building and sustaining of love, be it familial, platonic, or romantic, as prayers were given to the mother bottle for each of these.

Beyond applying the perfume to the body to work with its potent effects, it is also an appropriate scent to wear when doing any form of work with Venus to be appropriate and amiable to her currents. Even further beyond this, and pulling from a concept that Austin and I have mused on over the years, portions of the perfume itself may be added to larger quanities of a flammable alcohol for creating smokeless ritual fires for the burning of petitions and other materia. In working with the perfume in this way, it can also be sprayed onto fetiche objects for Venus, onto venusian workings, and used to bring items of a working in line with the virtues of Venus. 

Austin and I have spent three years, now nearly four, experimenting and playing with this formula until we were both very satisfied with the end results ranging from scent, scent throw, the life-expectancy of the scent, and its magical prowess. The mother bottle, prior to being decanted into individual bottles, had seven pieces of white coral that were worked during a 2024 Venus degree of exaltation election interred within it during a ritual that brought the perfume to form and function beneath the light of Venus. In this ritual, the perfume was also worked with the very same stone that sits inside of the mother bottle of Exalted Venus: Mother of Sustenance Oil - the stone was gathered by my dear friend Sfinga of With Cunning and Command, a stone gathered from the same beach - from beneath the very rock where it is said Aphrodite was born in Paphos, Cyprus. It is the closest we might get to a relic of Aphrodite, for this rock comes from the beach where the Lady of Foam was born, it is imbued with the numen of that location and infused with the grace and fire that is Aphrodite-Venus - a fire that is very much imparted to this perfume.

Exalted Venus: Mother of Sustenance Perfume is ideal for evening wear or on occasions where you need to exude opulence and allure - or simply when you need to reap the potent effect of the Mother of Sustenance. The scent profile for this perfume is a harmoniuos blend of florals, sensuality, and warmth, bearing at the front the sweet softenss of fresh berries and soft roses - a scent profile that Austin is known for perfecting - which rounds into a hearty center of frankincense and labdanum. This is further bolstered by the deep richness of Amber, Leather, Musk, and Oud. 

Now, for the specifics of this perfume, it should be noted that the signature BaneXBramble diamond bottles that are seen in the photo for this are not the bottles that this perfume will arrive in. Unfortunately there was a delay in receiving the bottles that had been purchased for this which meant that spare bottles had to be used for photography for this launch - all Exalted Venus: Mother of Sustenance Perfume will arrive in a 60ml glass bottle that falls in line with the aesthetic of Haus of Ophidious. The perfume itself is dyed a light pink, a color which is hard to see in photos. The photo of the smaller bottle, the last in the slideshow, is to show the pink color of this perfume.
