Ishtar Sacred Anointing Attar

Ishtar Sacred Anointing Attar
Solid Ritual Perfume
 
In the ancient temples of Mesopotamia, fragrance was a sacred language between the human and the divine. Among the goddesses who carried the power of beauty, sovereignty, and enchantment, none shone more brilliantly than Inanna, known across the lands of Babylon as Ishtar. She was the Morning Star and the Evening Star, the radiant presence of Venus rising and descending through the heavens. To the ancient world she embodied beauty that awakens the senses, desire that moves the heart, and the luminous power of attraction.
 
Fragrant oils and attars were prepared in her honor, infused with flowers and precious botanicals, offered upon temple altars and worn upon the body as sacred adornment. These perfumes were more than scent. They were presence. They were invocation. A quiet ritual carried upon the skin.
This Sacred Anointing Attar draws inspiration from those ancient traditions.
 
The fragrance of this sacred attar is composed of botanicals long associated with beauty, devotion, and the radiant mysteries of the goddess.
 
Rose has been revered across cultures as the flower of love, beauty, and divine femininity. Its soft yet powerful aroma reflects the heart centered energy often associated with the celestial star of Venus and the luminous presence of Ishtar.
 
Jasmine carries a deeply sensual floral fragrance that has long been used in sacred perfumery. In ancient lands it was prized for its intoxicating sweetness and its ability to awaken the senses, symbolizing attraction, enchantment, and the magnetic power of beauty.
Vanilla brings warmth and softness to the perfume, wrapping the brighter florals in a gentle sweetness. Its comforting scent has long been associated with pleasure, warmth, and the tender pleasures of earthly life.
Olive oil has been used since antiquity as a base for sacred oils and anointing perfumes. Rich and nourishing, it allows the fragrance to bloom slowly upon the skin while honoring the ancient tradition of botanical oils prepared for ritual and adornment.
MCT oil offers a light, silky texture that helps the fragrance glide effortlessly onto the skin, allowing the floral notes to unfold gracefully and linger throughout the day.
Together these ingredients create a perfume that is luminous, floral, and softly sensual, an aromatic offering inspired by the beauty and radiance of the goddess of the Morning and Evening Star.
 
Each perfume is adorned with rose petals and delicate forget-me-not blossoms, small botanical offerings that echo the sacred gardens once dedicated to the goddess. The rose has long symbolized beauty, devotion, and the mysteries of the heart. The forget-me-not carries the magic of remembrance, whispering that what is cherished and sacred is never forgotten.
As the balm melts into the skin it releases a fragrance both soft and luminous. Floral, warm, and quietly sensual, it lingers like the glow of starlight after sunset.
Anoint the wrists, throat, and heart center. Wear it as adornment, as ritual, or simply as a moment of beauty woven into the rhythm of daily life.
 
Each tin contains approximately 1 oz or more of solid perfume.
Hand poured in small ritual batches at my altar, accompanied by traditional incantations and sacred intention so that each perfume carries not only fragrance, but spirit.
