Stardust & Stems

A little shop update ✨

After a couple of months of waiting on bottles, our 3 ml perfume oil rollerballs are finally making their way back into the shop! Book Fair + Cottage Witch are available now, and we’ll be adding more scents throughout the week.

We also restocked a small number of 15 ml bottles of Book Fair + Cottage Witch today. 🍂📚

And for everyone who missed Moonwitch Milk last week — I know there were a lot of you! A much larger batch is already brewing and will be back very soon. 🌙🥛

Lots happening behind the scenes as we head into October. 🤎

So excited to restock this one! We’ll also have a limited quantity of New Fall Discovery Sets, which include 2ml samples of our three new fall perfumes- Moss & Moonlight, Moonwitch Milk and Goblin Market.

The Goblin Market is OPEN. 🍂✨

Goblin Market arrived today, and I am absolutely overwhelmed by the response already. Thank you so, so much for welcoming this strange little perfume into the world. 💛

Inspired by Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market, this earthy fig gourmand begins green and earthy before softening into golden honeycomb sweetness.

🌿 Sun-Warmed Fig Leaf • Honeycomb
🍯 Smoked Vanilla Pods • Brandy-Soaked Fig Flesh
🌙 Golden Amber • Velvet Woods

And a little goblin lore: figs hide their tiny flowers inside themselves—which somehow makes them feel like exactly the sort of fruit the goblins would sell.

“Figs to fill your mouth”
— Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market (1862)

The market is open. ✨

Tomorrow, the goblins come. 🍂✨

GOBLIN MARKET arrives tomorrow, September 18 at 10 AM ET.

An earthy fig gourmand inspired by Christina Rossetti’s strange and enchanting Goblin Market.

🌿 Sun-Warmed Fig Leaf • Honeycomb
🍯 Smoked Vanilla Pods • Brandy-Soaked Fig Flesh
🌙 Golden Amber • Velvet Woods

It begins green and surprisingly earthy, then gradually softens as golden honeycomb brings forward a warm sweetness, settling into smoked vanilla, amber and velvet woods.

And because figs have a little goblin lore of their own: their tiny flowers bloom hidden inside the fig. Strange little fruits for a strange little market.

The goblins are getting closer… 🌙
“Their tones waxed loud,
Their looks were evil.”
— Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market (1862)
Strange little creatures. Enchanted fruits. A market hidden somewhere between fairy tale and nightmare.
Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market has lived in my imagination for a long time—and this Friday, it becomes a perfume.

Something strange is coming to Stardust & Stems… 🍂
“One had a cat’s face,
One whisk’d a tail,
One tramp’d at a rat’s pace,
One crawl’d like a snail.”
— Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market (1862)
This Friday, September 18, a new autumn fragrance joins Stardust & Stems—Goblin Market, inspired by Christina Rossetti’s wonderfully strange Victorian poem and its peculiar little goblins, fantastical fruits, and the bond between two sisters at the heart of the tale.
