Website will be Closing from December 1st-January 1st!
This December, the online shop will be closed while I am away from my home apothecary and travelling! I will be assisting my lola retire to The Philippines! It has been a long time coming and she deserves the upmost care, so in order to do that, I am focusing on her that month!
Many items in the apothecary are made to order, so if you’d like your items before Yuletide it is a good idea to order in before November 25th! As always, I appreciate your support and I am so grateful you are here.
Ever yours,
Johnali

Chamomile and white tea create a soft, soothing foundation, layered with calming lavender, aromatic cedar, bright lemon, cool mint, and a touch of sweet sugar. Fresh yet comforting, this fragrance captures the peaceful feeling of winding down at the end of the day and creating a quiet space for yourself.
Its energy is rest & reflection, a gentle invitation to slow down, clear your mind, and reconnect with yourself. Like a cozy mug of chamomile tea, Evening Altar encourages you to release the day, settle into stillness, and make space for dreams, intuition, and peaceful rest.

Moss and Palo Santo open into a dark, earthy blend of patchouli, incense, bergamot, saffron, violet, and sandalwood. Deeply atmospheric and grounding, this fragrance evokes an ancient forest at dusk; where smoke curls through the trees, sacred woods burn slowly, and the boundary between the seen and unseen feels close.
Its energy is ancestral connection & protection, inspired by the Igorot understanding of anito as the spirits of the dead and ancestors who remain connected to the living. Across Indigenous Philippine traditions, relationships with spirits could involve offerings, ritual, remembrance, and seeking guidance or protection. (AptsPress)
When burned, Anitos can be used as a personal ritual for honoring those who came before you. Let the flame represent remembrance, while the rising fragrance creates a moment to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the people, places, and traditions that shaped you. The darker notes of patchouli, incense, and sandalwood bring a protective, grounded quality, while bergamot, violet, and saffron add a subtle sense of illumination.
Light this candle with intention: to remember, to honor, to protect, and to remain connected to those whose stories continue through you.

Bright orange blossom and dreamy neroli mingle with juicy bergamot, grounding sandalwood, intoxicating jasmine, and sparkling petitgrain.
Its energy is renewal, warmth & hope, like sunlight spilling through an open window after a long winter, or the first golden morning of a new chapter.

*I will not be tarot reading at this event, only selling my goods. This will also be my last market of the year, so it’ll be your last chance to shop for Christmas presents from me!
