In a quaint countryside, there stood a tiny cottage that seemed to be frozen in time. The cottage, with its aging wood and ivy-covered walls, was a haven of serenity amidst the bustling world. However, little did the inhabitants of the cottage know that their peaceful existence was about to be upended, quite literally. Nestled on the edge of a dense forest, the cottage held secrets from ages past. Legends whispered of a mystical presence residing within its humble walls, a witch with powers beyond comprehension. Many villagers had dismissed these stories as mere fables told to scare children, but there were those who believed in the magic that emanated from the cottage.
‘I did not raise you to be this way!’ said Agytha. ‘Do you think they have not noticed? The people of this state think there is a gang war raging. They are scared to leave their homes. Are you proud of causing that?’
Then her eyes were caught by a gaggle of teenagers laughing and giggling together; then a father and his daughter; then a woman and an old Labrador waddling on a leash. When you purchase Solstice Scents through Femme Fatale you can be assured we re supplying you with authentic, handmade goods produced by the brand to the standard advertised.
Many villagers had dismissed these stories as mere fables told to scare children, but there were those who believed in the magic that emanated from the cottage. One fateful night, a tempestuous storm brewed in the distance. Dark clouds loomed over the cottage, casting an eerie shadow upon its surroundings.

Full Scent Description
Upon entering the Witch’s Cottage you are greeted with fresh and dried herbs, chamomile flowers, rosemary sprigs, Sweet Annie, Davana and a hint of crisp apples. A warm undercurrent of luscious baked goods, sweet buns and candied pralines emerges and is followed by mild fragrant woods and sweet hearth smoke. Witch’s Cottage fragrance is a true journey with loads of atmosphere.
On initial application the herbs emerge with the sweet baked goods hovering just below. The apple and herbal top notes (namely the chamomile and Sweet Annie) retreat within a few minutes to make way for brown sugar and caramel heavy baked goods. The sweet note is a collection of a variety of different sugary treats but the overall scent is not cloying – rather a vague, well blended impression of baked goods that adds a rich warmth to the blend.
Further journeying into the cottage will take you to the warmest, most fragrant and exotic soft woods touched by a wisp of divine incense and sweet hearth smoke. The long term dry down is that of the woods and sweet smoke and is a very warm, comforting and alluring fragrance. A definite morpher that is also very interesting, unique and complex scent. It wears close to the skin and encourages snuggling into the couch in front of a blazing fire with a great book and a mug of hot cider!
Product Information
Ingredients: Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil , Fragrance (may include essential oils).
Size: Approx 5ml packaged in a glass vial with protective box.
Other: Our Perfume oils are all Vegan with the exception of Inquisitor, which contains beeswax absolute.
Application tip: If your roller ball runs dry during application, remove black cap, hold your bottle vertically with roller ball pointing to the ground and forcefully shake/thrust the bottle down one time to replenish the oil in the well. Now it is ready to reapply to your skin. Use caution applying on sensitive neck area. May stain clothes or light-coloured surfaces. For external use only.
Storage and Shelf Life
Most of our perfume oils are good for several years, however they are best used within 5 years of purchase. We use rice bran oil as a carrier oil. Due to rice bran’s high anti-oxidant content, it has a very good shelf life.
Storing your oils appropriately will affect the shelf life. Be careful to store your Solstice Scents products, especially perfumes, out of direct sunlight and in a cool place as heat and light can age the products.
Perfume Sampling Tips
Do not smell or apply more than one perfume at a time as your nose will become overwhelmed and you may experience a temporary anosmia where you cannot detect certain notes.
Never judge a perfume directly out of the bottle. They are strong and concentrated in the bottle and the short lived top notes may be the most apparent. The alcohol based perfumes will display a strong alcohol aroma out of the bottle that may burn your nose. Testing the perfume directly on the skin is the only way it can unfold, morph and react with your unique chemistry. The alcohol will evaporate within a few minutes, leaving only the fragrance behind.
Resting your perfumes after they arrive: Your perfumes may experience a slight change when exposed to excessively warm or cold temperatures in transit that can temporarily affect the true aroma. For best results, allow perfumes to rest indoors for at least 24 to 48 hours before evaluating.
Skin chemistry is something unique to everyone. It can be affected by the medication, supplements or food you consume, hormonal fluctuations and other topical skin care products you use. We recommend sampling perfumes over a period of a few weeks.
Do not apply to broken skin. In order to prevent skin sensitization, avoid application directly after a hot shower or bath. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. May contain natural components that are contraindicated for pregnancy/nursing.
Safety Precautions for Pregnant or Nursing Mothers
Solstice Scent’s opinion is to avoid all fragranced and/or essential oil products while pregnant or nursing, especially in the first trimester. You may do your own research on the safety of using perfumes and fragrances while pregnant or nursing. Essential oils, fragrances and absolutes may pass into the bloodstream and may even cross the placental barrier. Not all oils are of concern, but Mothers should be cautious, especially in the first tri-mester. Some essential oils stimulate menstruation, are abortifacient, lower blood pressure and produce a myriad of other effects internally and externally and it is advised you exercise caution and be informed. Products which contain oils that we are aware should not be used while pregnant or nursing contain a warning at the top of the listing, above the description, though we still feel that unscented products are better for pregnant or nursing mothers. You may also wish to spray your perfumes conservatively on clothing instead of wearing them directly on the skin or try a few sprays of Glace combed through your dry hair or a little of the perfume oil rubbed in your hair.
About Solstice Scents
Solstice Scents started serving the local Gainesville, FL area in 2004. We originally sold soap, lotion, salts, candles, body oil, loose hand blended incense powders, dream pillows, eye pillows and neck pillows. We took our orders on order forms printed on parchment paper, hand wrote all of our tags and attached them with satin ribbon and
affixed our familiar mastic tree labels to bottles with rubber cement. Customers were able to select ala carte fresh made items directly off the order form, including customizing candle color or fabric choices. Bath salts were offered in upcycled Monin syrup bottles from the coffee shop Angela used to work at, topped with corks ordered from a wine supplier.
The business has evolved significantly since that time, though the same spirit, inspiration and aesthetic is infused into each item. While we no longer offer custom made items, all products are made with the same attention to detail and in small batches to ensure freshness. Our labels are designed in house with the original mastic tree
logo. The labels are applied by hand to the products. Each fragrance is still handwritten on the product label to this day.

The wind howled and trees thrashed violently, as though forewarning of the impending calamity. Without warning, a bolt of lightning struck nearby, illuminating the periphery of the cottage. Startled by the sudden burst of light, the witch within the cottage lost her balance and stumbled. As she flailed her arms to regain stability, an ancient spell book slipped from her grasp, hurtling towards a cabinet teetering precariously on the edge. A gasp escaped from the witch's lips as she watched in horror as the cabinet crashed, sending a domino effect throughout the cottage. The bookshelf toppled over, shelves collapsing onto fragile trinkets and artifacts. The contents of a crystal ball shattered into a million fragmented pieces, scattering remnants of enchantment across the room. As the chaos unfolded, the walls of the cottage seemed to groan in protest. The foundation, weakened by the centuries of whimsical enchantments and spells, finally succumbed to the force of the storm. With a resounding crash, the cottage began its descent, tumbling perilously down the hillside. Residents from neighboring villages, awoken by the commotion, rushed towards the scene in a desperate attempt to salvage whatever they could. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they witnessed the cottage barrel down, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Amidst the wreckage, the witch emerged, her face a mixture of bewilderment and profound sadness. She looked upon her once idyllic abode, now reduced to fragments of memories and rubble. The cottage had become a poignant metaphor for her own life, upended by a single moment of imbalance. However, as the villagers approached the witch, offering their assistance and compassion, she realized that while the physical structure of her home had crumbled, the spirit of the cottage remained steadfast. Though it was a tragedy, it also presented an opportunity for rebirth and renewal. From the wreckage would rise a new cottage, meticulously constructed with the support and love of the community. The witch, learning from her past folly, would weave her spells with newfound wisdom and caution, embracing the resilience of her magical abilities. And so, the tale of the cottage tumbling onto the witch became a cherished legend, a reminder of the transformative power of disasters and the strength of community bonds. In the end, the witch and her humble abode would emerge from the ashes, instilled with a renewed sense of purpose and an unwavering belief in the magic of life itself..

1. Samantha - 2/5 - I was really excited to read "Cottage tumbling onto witch" based on the positive reviews I had heard. However, I found myself incredibly disappointed with the plot and character development. The story lacked depth and felt incredibly predictable. The relationships between the characters were underdeveloped, making it difficult for me to connect or care about their journey. Overall, I felt like the book was a missed opportunity and left me wanting more substance.
2. Michael - 1/5 - "Cottage tumbling onto witch" was a complete waste of my time. The writing was dull and lacked any sense of creativity. The pacing was off, with long stretches of boredom followed by rushed and confusing scenes. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any relatability. I struggled to find any redeeming qualities in this book and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating and enjoyable read.

While I appreciate the author's attempt at originality, I feel like the execution was lacking, resulting in a disappointing read.
