What I Would Gift the ACOTAR Court of Dreams from Anthousai Apothecary

Yes, I am a part of the SJM universe army. I have read both the Throne of Glass series and the ACOTAR books (thusfar…). So of COURSE I have imagined products directly inspired by the series. But until I grow enough courage and time to curate products that do the book series’ justice, here are the products from Anthousai Apothecary that I think would be perfect for each character.

Feyre’s journey parallels that of Kore/Persephone (SJM has said that the Hades and Persephone lore literally inspired Rhysand and Feyre), especially in terms of transformation and sacrifice. So I am obviously gifting her a Kore goddess bath. The pomegranate symbolizes her descent into darkness, while the black pepper hints at her resilience and strength.

Nesta embodies strength, power, and complexity, much like the goddess Hecate. So Nesta will be receiving a Hecate goddess oil. The dark and powerful scent of black tea reflects Nesta’s intensity and multifaceted nature. Additionally, Nesta’s power comes from a primordial force, much like how the exact origins of Hecate are unknown and she is regarded as even older than the Titans.

Elain’s gentle nature and love for gardening align with Chloris, the goddess of flowers. I mean, it might be a little too on the nose to pair the lover of gardening with the goddess of flowers, but I don’t care. I’m gifting her a Chloris goddess oil. The fresh, floral fragrance captures her softness and appreciation for beauty.

Rhysand’s allure, charm, and hidden depths resonate with the smooth and alluring fragrance of The Horned God. So he is getting a Horned God epsom salt soak. The citrus notes represent his brightness, while cedar and jasmine evoke his mysterious and seductive aura.

Cassian’s vibrant and energetic personality matches the invigorating scent of spearmint eucalyptus in Pan. Even when Cass destroyed an entire building in the Summer Court, an action like that is reflective of the pandemonium that Pan is known to cause. So Cass is getting a Pan epsom salt soak. The fragrance reflects his wild nature and zest for life.

We all need to accept Azriel for the hopeless romantic he is. Between being in love with a woman who is only in to girls to showing what could potentially be romantic gestures towards someone who is mated with another Fae, Azriel is a lover. So he is getting an Aphrodite epsom salt soak. Azriel’s loyalty, depth, and underlying tenderness are captured by the earthy yet sweet fragrance of Aphrodite. The blend of sandalwood and rose symbolizes his complexity and depth of character.

Morrigan’s cheerful and witty nature aligns with the passionate and vibrant scent of Inanna. The Inanna goddess butter will be perfect for her because hibiscus fragrance represents her lively spirit and warmth.

Amren’s mysterious and enigmatic demeanor is mirrored in the dark and alluring scent of Nightshade bath bomb. The teakwood and black pepper evoke her powerful presence and intriguing personality.

Now hop in those baths that I KNOW they have at the Court of Dreams and soak off all the Prythian drama. Check out our full collection of bath and body products here at Anthousai Apothecary.
