Anthousai Apothecary Scent List

Updated March 2024

We have fun crafting unique and memorable scents here at Anthousai. We have our flagship fragrances as well as the newcomers and the soon to come. Take a look below!

Aphrodite: this blend of sandalwood, subtle rose, and sweet wine is dedicated to the goddess of love and beauty and really doesn’t need much more explanation. It is as earthy as it is sweet, and we occasionally couple our Aphrodite products with rose quartz for love.

Kore: pomegranate and black pepper evoke the tale of Persephone’s descent and installation in to the Underworld. Persephone’s name before she went to the Underworld was Kore. She is the goddess of springtime and Kore is her recognized form when she makes the flowers bloom during the season. Persephone was meant for the garnet stone which boosts confidence in the person that you are and the journey that made you this way.

Chloris: apples, citrus, kiwi, fresh flowers, and vetiver pack a punch in this bright fragrance dedicated to the goddess of flowers. Chloris is responsible for a wide range of transformations and blooms and this fragrance is intended to have as much variety as her flowers. We pair this fragrance with a flower agate to ground you just as your favorite flora is planted in the ground.

Leuke: completely unscented. We wanted to make sure we provided a version of all of our products in a pure, unscented, unpigmented form for those with sensitivities to fragrances and dyes. This fragrance is named for the flower nymph that Hades was in love with (before Persephone was in the picture). Hades turned all the trees in Elysium white in Leuke’s honor after she died. We try to pair Leuke with selenite or white agate to purify.

The Green Man: oakmoss and birch blend for this fresh earthen scent. We have reformulated recently and we really feel as though this new fragrance better represents the long time guardian of the Earth’s green spaces. The Green Man is a pagan legend and deity tasked with protecting the environment and encouraging more lush green to grow. We pair this fragrance with a green agate or green aventurine to parallel this encouragement of growth.

The Horned God: citrus, cedar, and jasmine make for a smooth and alluring fragrance that may also be a Bleu de Chanel dupe. We found this fragrance a perfect fit for the Wiccan deity and counterpart to the Triple Goddess. Labradorite is coupled with this fragrance, which helps bring out the best in you, just like any man should help you do.

Inanna: scented like hibiscus, the flower of passion, Inanna is the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of love and war and a precursor to whom Greeks eventually recognized as Aphrodite. A common symbol for Inanna was the rosette, a stylized circular flower design. We chose the passionate hibiscus to represent Inanna because only a flower so vibrant could encapsulate the two ends of the spectrum that Inanna represents.

Nefertem: scented like white musk and lily, Nefertem is the beautiful Egyptian god that rose from the blue water lily that created the entire world. Nefertem is the son of the Sun god Ra and reminds us to open ourselves up to the beauty of every single day, just like the water lily opens up every day for the sunlight.

Limited Edition

Hecate: scented like black tea, a brew as powerful as the goddess for which it is named. Being the goddess of witchcraft, we couldn’t help but think of our every day brew to honor Hecate. She is associated with many powerful and poisonous herbs, so we stuck to the dark side for her fragrance instead of going with something sweet.

Iris: this one is citrus, cherry, and vanilla or you can just call it fruit loops! We picked a colorful fragrance for the goddess of rainbows. As far as her association with flowers, she is the namesake for the Iris flower since that variety of flower comes in so many different colors.

You can find these fragrances in our body oils, body butters, whipped soaps, bar soaps and more. Shop Anthousai Apothecary now and live out your floral divine desires in your every day rituals.
