The Cartographer Wasp Hair & Perfume Oil - NEW!

Varnished oak inlaid with shining brass, caramelized benzoin, a dry hum of cassia, & blackened vanilla oud

The wasp worked, glossy body curled over the delicate map tacked carefully to the floor with dots of resin. Around it, the heat and thrum of the hive made the air thicken and the pulse jump, but still it labored, its glossy stinger scratching gently against the paper's grain. Occasionally, it paused, plucking at compass and calipers, antennae giving a calculated twitch, before returning stinger to ink, ink to paper. If the colony were to survive, even thrive in this new land, its memories must be preserved. The maps must be remade.

Based loosely on the award-winning short story The Cartographer Wasps & the Anarchist Bees by E. Lily Yu

It's only taken me ten years, but your PBSW dreams have come true: a whisper-light, -cone-free hair oil formula meets luxuriously lush perfume oil for a full-body PBSW experience! Daikon radish extract is an amazing alternative to traditional silicones, providing silky shine & skin-feel without build-up or environmental concerns, Meadowfoam seed oil provides excellent scent retention plus a massive dose of antioxidants, meaning your PBSW scents will stick around both in the bottle & on your skin. Argan & jojoba oils team up to treat your hair, your scalp, & your skin with gentle moisture, & a tiny drizzle of isopropyl myristate keeps things from getting greasy. Your favorite PBSW blends, made from quality, vetted, phthalate-free synthetic fragrance oils & essential oils, are added at a percentage that gives delicious throw without the risk of dermal irritation or gassing your coworkers out of the elevator.

The end result? A light-as-air powerhouse oil blend that delivers your favorite PBSW scents without dripping, smudging or spilling, in a sleek bottle that's ready for your bag or pocket but pretty enough to display!

To use as a hair oil, roll lightly into the palm of your hand, then apply with your hands or fingers as desired. For best results, concentrate on the ends of your hair, rather than the scalp.

To use as a perfume oil, apply directly to pulse points, taking care to avoid irritated, broken, or inflamed skin. I always recommend testing a small amount on the inside of your elbow before committing to a full slathering. Discontinue use if irritation occurs; please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
