The Major Arcana
Every card is a girl, and every girl has a scent.
0 — The Fool
Moonlight braids, blue-flame eyes, zero sense of direction and infinite courage. Emma walks off ledges and the universe builds a road under her feet.
Apothecary line
Emma's Whipped Soap
Celestial, bright and a little sugary — the scent of a first step into the unknown.
01 — The Magician
Crimson curls, mauve pinstripes and total command of the Minor Arcana. She doesn't study magic — she curates it.
Apothecary line
Alchemist's Ember
Warm resin, smoke and spiced amber — an alchemy bench in candle form.
II — The High Priestess
Veiled, quiet, and holding the silver key. Hailey reads what the others only feel — the pauses between the pages.
Apothecary line
Veil of the Moon
Iris, moonstone and cool night air — soy candle and whipped body polish.
III — The Empress
The Creator herself, grimoire in one hand and a golden working in the other. Every world in Nocturne grows from her palm.
Apothecary line
Empress's Garden
Pomegranate, black rose and warm amber — the scent of a world being written.
X — Wheel of Fortune
Two hearts, one turning wheel. Where one twin casts the circle, the other holds the shield — fortune favors the pair.
Apothecary line
Wheel of Fortune
Spiced pomegranate and lucky clover — a scent that changes as it burns.
XV — The Devil
The page is turning and the future is tainted. Malphas walks out of the grimoire with green fire and a shadow that has horns of its own.
Apothecary line
Devil's Bargain
Smoked vetiver, black pepper and dark honey — beautiful, and best handled with care.
XVII — The Star
A boy with an armillary sphere and a constellation that answers back. Pip charts the roads the others walk.

Star Chart
Cold night air, silver birch and a spark of citrus — hope, bottled.
