THE CELESTIAL CYPRESS DEODORANT
Halo underarms in the airy freshness of Stellar Poetic Pits, a balmy scent sanctuary formulated to soothe sensitive skin while emanating a clean, forest-fresh bouquet. This celestial underarm charm consecrates the axilla and stars the inviting, woodsy-sweet, blue-hued wild Australian Blue Cypress, which douses delicate tissue in the soothing solace of its balmy, cedar-sweet scent, alongside resinous, fortifying Frankincense, the salutiferous coniferous Silver Fir, languid Lavender, and a clean-green accent of Coriander, anchored by the sensuous depth of aged Sandalwood.
Rather than an antiperspirant that stifles the body’s natural respiration, this stellar scent sanctuary works in harmony with your biology to metamorphose perspiration into a personalized, pheromonal emanation. Blue Cypress’s skin-cooling guaiazulene and Sandalwood’s nourishing santals and natural phyto-androgens join forces with Silver Fir’s forest-born bornyl acetate and Lavender’s soothing linalool as a calm balm to the area while neutralizing odor and alchemizing the phytochemistry with your perspiration. So you can sweat the small stuff, knowing every drop is sublimated into pure poetry. By anointing pits and primary pulse points, you anchor an enduring aura of serene, woodsy-fresh composure that takes you to the next day.
"Thanks so much Nadine for quite simply just being you:-) I have done it and transformed my man to non-toxic poetic pits! He is in love with this particular scent Stellar. We actually both are. Please please please make a bigger bottle. He loves the scent so much he uses it in abundance." — R
"I love this scent! very woody and green, but calming. it helps me sleep when I put it on before bed." — Olivia
"This scent is truly wonderful! It's so fresh and strong in a comfortable, relaxed way. It's like a mix of forest and that freshness I usually associate with lemon. It cuts through sweatiness and turns a truck with three stinky dudes into a decent environment." — Jared
"Nadine is the best essential oils mixologist I’ve ever come across. Compared to pure sandalwood oil, Stellar is a lighter, brighter scent. Close to Classic, but sweeter. There‘s something round and fruit-juicy about it. As someone who really enjoys key lime and limoncello flavors, this has my favorite scent so far! It doesn’t last as long on me as some of the others. And not that it hugely matters, but the color is lovely. :)" — Rachel Leigh
"I keep coming back to this. I love the smells of the underarm charm line, they are like perfume and work to decrease odor many times over more traditional natural deodorants including the expensive ones. I love that once my BO does kick in it blends with the smells and I get so many compliments. The scent is sharply complex, fresh, uplifting, green, and somehow simultaneously grounding/protective while being expansive. It’s an immediate pick me up, a real experience, and I think stellar is an apt name because it’s unworldly and like nothing else.” — Cathy
WHAT ARE POETIC PITS?
Simply put: it is a deodorant. Yet, it is unlike any other "deodorant" you have ever encountered. Poetic Pits are a complete reformulation of axillary care and confidence: the perfect poetic potions distilled into a single, potent swipe. With a three-decade legacy, these time-tested formulations are the legendary "Pied Pipers" of the gym and the yoga studio; they are famous for eliciting the frequent, bewildered question from strangers: "How do you still smell so good?" Far from chemically cloaking, these 100% concentrated formulations merrily mix with your natural pheromones to emit an "awesome emanation" of your signature scent. Living Libations recalibrated the concept of "deodorant" by creating an organic, bacteriostatic odorant, a synergy between your skin and the botanical world that unveils the unique fingerprint of your natural fragrance. Because they are undiluted and free of fillers, a single application provides a day-long fragrant trail that transcends the underarm. These botanical ballads are versatile enough to anoint the nape of the neck, pulse points, or hair, ensuring a charismatic aura from dawn to dusk.
By applying the reality of roots and the purity of petals to this micro-climate, your skin is free to perspire while you emit an aroma that inspires. Our Poetic Pits are pure, undiluted potency, entirely free of fillers, alcohol, and synthetic masking agents. Each blend is anchored in a foundation of pure, phyto-androgen-rich Sandalwood. This viscous, substantive essence acts as a botanical fixative, providing a resilient, slow-release base that ensures the song of your scent maintains its integrity through hiking in humidity, a hot flash, or a high-stakes day.
APPLICATION
The Swipe: Swipe once to charm each underarm.
The Anointing: These pure distillations also delight as a personal perfume, dab on the nape of the neck, pulse points, or run through the ends of hair for a long-lasting, layered scent.
Safety Guidance: Poetic Pits are 100% concentrated essential oils; avoid application to inflamed or allergic skin. While these ingredients are selected from botanicals recognized as safe, every microbiome is a unique microscopic universe. We advise a simple patch test inside the elbow before full armpit integration.
Sensitivity: For particularly sensitive skin, you may dilute your Poetic Pits with Jojoba, or explore our gentler Underarm Charm crème deodorants for a buffered, silken botanical experience in a nourishing lipid and mineral-powder delivery. Both pathways ensure that your underarms charm with the chemistry of their own natural alchemy.
Perfume Pairings: This Underarm Charm pairs beautifully with our Sacred Sage, Trees Please, Ever Moss, or Radiant Earth Forest Colognes, or Fawn Lily, Being Free is Lots of Fun, Lilac Lady, or Lavish Abundance Petal Perfumes.
Taking your underarm charm on the go? Wrap your glass vessel in our soft-touch Poetic Pits Silicone Sleeve Shield. It provides a soft-touch, high-grip layer that cushions 5ml and 10ml roll-ons against travel tumbles in your pocket, purse, or Puffer Pouch
ORGANIC INGREDIENTS: THE COMPLETE COMPOSITION
Sandalwood — Santalum album
The Canonical Consecrate: If languid was a liquid prayer, it would be the slow, sensuous substance of Sandalwood’s elixir, an essence distilled from the fragrant heartwood of trees that mature for thirty years. Brimming with alpha-santalol and beta-santalol, this essence is fundamental to the Poetic Pit architecture; it initiates a pheromonal alchemy that harmonizes with your unique chemistry. Sandalwood has a unique phyto-physiological affinity for the axilla; it contains phyto-androgens, substances molecularly similar to the primary signaling compounds we naturally exude. A single swipe transforms your perspiration into an elegant emanation, supporting the vitality of the very tissue it touches.
Blue Cypress — Callitris columellaris
The Benevolent Blue: Steam-distilled from the wild-crafted bark of Australian outback trees, Brilliant Blue Cypress is a true-blue botanical treasure. Differing from classic evergreen cypress oils, its thicker viscosity and sweet-woodsy scent profile share a closer affinity to Sandalwood and Cedar. Rich in the rare cobalt-hued sesquiterpene guaiazulene, alongside calming guaiol and eudesmol, this blue-hued beauty is a calming, cooling friend for sensitive skin.
Frankincense — Boswellia carterii
The Sacred Sentinel: Extolled across millennia in ancient ceremonies and sacred pharmacopeias, our Frankincense is extracted via supercritical CO2 extraction to capture delicate antioxidant molecules, specifically incensole and incensole acetate, that are lost in standard steam distillation. These rare diterpenes act as dermal pacifiers, communicating directly with skin receptors to soothe redness and comfort reactive tissue. Imbued with beta-caryophyllene, limonene, and monoterpenes like alpha-pinene, this resinous nectar provides a molecular shield of scent while smoothing textural memory under the arms.
Silver Fir — Abies alba
The Luminous Needle: Wild-crafted from native forests in the French mountains, Silver Fir captures the luminous essence of shining, silver-white needles. Brimming with bornyl acetate, the key ester responsible for its soothing liniment qualities and crisp, coniferous aroma, this oil is balanced by uplifting monoterpenes alpha-pinene and camphene. Under the arms, Silver Fir offers natural purification and skin-toning support, anointing your pits to wax poetic with mountain-fresh, evergreen elegance.
Lavender — Lavandula angustifolia
The Calm Clean: Lavender’s legacy is a path to peace of mind and skin salvation. Tracing its origins to the Latin lavare, meaning "to wash," Lavender’s lullaby has been a perfume of purification for centuries. Its serenity stems from the balanced symmetry of linalool and linalyl acetate, supported by soothing sesquiterpenes that enhance dermal recovery. Under the arms, Lavender acts as a calming liniment with a crisp cleanliness that scents confidence.
Coriander — Coriandrum sativum
The Clean-Green Catalyst: With a charismatic splash, Coriander elevates this underarm charm with a dash of lucent levity. Venerated in classic French colognes for centuries, its phytochemistry is high in soothing linalool, gamma-terpinene, and alpha-pinene. This unique monoterpenol matrix is a tonic to underarm tissue while acting as an aromatic bridge that unifies resinous woods, frankincense, and soft florals into a harmonized whole.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why are Stellar Poetic Pits especially suited for sensitive skin?
Stellar Poetic Pits was formulated with a balanced, universally appealing aromatic profile that sits perfectly between crisp forest-freshness and warm woodsy depth. For sensitive axillary skin, it relies on exceptionally soothing botanicals: wild Australian Blue Cypress contains high levels of guaiazulene (a potent cooling compound), paired with Frankincense’s dermal-pacifying incensole acetate and Lavender’s soothing linalool. Together, these essential oils calm reactive underarm skin while providing fulsome, full-day odor protection.
What gives Blue Cypress its unique color and scent profile?
Differing from standard cypress, wild Australian Blue Cypress (Callitris columellaris) contains naturally occurring guaiazulene, a sesquiterpene that imparts a brilliant cobalt-blue color. Its scent is richer, smoother, and more fluid than typical coniferous oils, offering a warm, sweet, sandalwood-like woodiness that adds a resonant foundation to the formulation that is also a fragrant fixative to the lighter floral and frankincense notes.
