Servare

[UltraViolet]

Wear this oil and use in spellwork to influence people into feeling compassion for you. Makes you appear more likeable and accessible. Use whenever you need to overcome loneliness or wish to find a sympathetic ear to commiserate with.

In the bottle
Smells kind of like my dad when he and my mom would go out for the evening when I was young. Like a men's cologne scent but a tad more feminine than that.
On
Wow, this is almost angelic, it's sort of like Anthelion but more...hmm...crisp and green? It seems ot have some eucalyptus or something. And maybe some unidentifiable (to me) floral.
It's got a bitter/citrussy twang to it now too.
30 minutes
Stays the same as when wet actually. Long lasting and doesn't fade too much at all.
It does get just an iota sweeter (it's lovely this way) now as opposed to when it's wet on my skin.
It doesn't smell at all like it did when wet now at 30 minutes. It smelled kind of mens cologne-y initially but now it's more like Amsterdam meets Anthelion mixed with a shot of grapefruit and some additional hebral or green.
Throw:
more than average, yes.
Scent category:
green/herbal?
Summary
It's eucalyptus/minty, herbal and sort of an aquatic citrus? It's lovely. Soothing.
It allows one to feel safe.
Purchase again?
Yes.

In Bottle: Sweet floral

 

On Skin: I smell florals right away. Sweet ones, maybe orange blossom or honeysuckle. Fresh and bright with a slight powdery edge on drydown. Very feminine and pretty. I see this as innocent and can see why it would inspire compassion. It’s also comforting and soft. It does seem to be a “pick me up” scent, I would love to try it for lonliness since I’ve been feeling a lot of that lately. A beautiful room scent as well. Light throw and average wear length on me.

I am wearing this today and anointed a candle with it last night. I love the scent, it is pretty, I don't know what is in it, the others are much better at picking out the notes, plus I am wearing it for a purpose, I needed to talk to financial aid and school begins today, last year I felt a decided lack of compassion from professors in my program, this year I need to put together a commitee and tomorrow I am presenting my thesis idea to my advisor so I am wanting to soften the ground. I feel good wearing the oil, so that is a great beginning!

Reviewed mostly for intent.

 

In scent this is a sweet, feminine floral. It's quite pleasant, gentle and not overwhelming. There's a note in it that reminds me of White Light, and another that reminds me of La Flamme.

 

For intent: Holy crow, this stuff works. Magic, seriously. Without going into too much detail- I had a necessary appointment with someone who, during our two previous meetings, treated me in a very rude, brusque, and somewhat unreasonable manner. Today, while I was wearing Servare, he was not only as nice as pie, but went out of his way to be helpful and make sure that I got everything I needed from him. Also, I went into a shop to pick up a few small items to send along with some swaps, and the shopkeeper (who is a friend of mine) gave the items to me for free.

 

This is yet another five-star TAL, a definite must-have.

I tried this on a whim yesterday because I am running on empty and I need some sympathetic ears from my fellow grad students.

 

I wore this in a locket while I was at school for 11 hours.

 

Holy florals batman! this smells very relaxing. It is strong but in a positive and grounded way.

I agree with lilirose, this has a note that is dominant in white light - I haven't tried La Flamme.

 

This is the most effective TAL I have ever worn. I noticed people treating me with more care than usual and listening to me better. It is nothing short of magic.

I will never be without it.
