Deep, rich, earthy notes swirled with vegetal musks, sugared vanilla bean, brown leather, and dark spices.

The unbounded soul: a vibrant, airy, uplifted amber with smoked vanilla and coconut, tuberose, orange blossom, wildflower honey, and sheer musk.
-
A leathered up, musky interpretation of BPAL’s Antique Lace: dry flowers, aged linens, and the faint breath of long-faded perfumes with well-worn leather and caramel musk.
-
Dusty vanilla bean and Moreton Bay Fig.
-
Her far horizons, her jewel-sea: a rose-tinted sunset of amber salt spray azure musk.
-
An incense for Solstice rites: fir resin, bayberry, myrrh, mistletoe, and oak bark.
-
A bright, sparkling scent, effervescent with joy and fiery with rekindled hope: golden musk and crystalline amber with Calabrian lemon peel, ti leaf, sweet vetiver, ginger root, neroli, and lime blossom.

Hay absolute, almond blossom, mimosa, bourbon cream, and toasted sandalwood.

Gleaming amber spheres, polished cedar and mahogany, sweet parchment, inks of frankincense ash, and soft plumes of incense. So I decanted a bit of this yesterday. The oil was reddish and very thick. I dabbed a tiny bit on yesterday and it smelled like smoky darkened amber, and perhaps what could be interpreted as a hint of book leather. Today, after its rested for less than 24 hours (I will test it again tomorrow), I dabbed on my wrist and it's brighter than last night. I got more of a 'glistening' especially on wet, more wood, hint of smokiness, but still a pretty dark amber. It's actually pretty gender neutral, veering toward masculine on me, and sticks close to the skin. The vibe is very in line with the Phoenix Steamworks line. Dark, woodsy, amber.

Sheer peach musk with white peach pulp, tiare, white tea, and gossamer vanilla. A giant throw of peach (from the pulp and musk), vanilla, and a tinge of white tea. Peach lovers rejoice. If you wanted a "peach" blend, this one is it. It's pretty much a sweet peach perfume. Very wearable, juicy, and well, peachy. Good throw and wear length.

Twelve years ago, we created our first Lace scent for Dark Delicacies, Black Lace. This is a homage to that first scent - sugar-spun vanilla cream cotton, stained by tobacco and incense, Indian musk, and drops of cognac - sharpened with the incense of a hundred Hammer films, a handful of soil from Dracula’s homeland, a creep of crypt moss, and a dash of mummy bitumen.

Blood Moon: Patchouli and Smoked Vanilla Lotion
zankoku_zen replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lotion
This is amazing. Not as smoky as the dead leaves lotion, but the smoke element is present, the vanilla is not too sweet, and if you like patchouli this is a light earthy patch. This to me is a great base for layering other perfumes on top if you want a vanilla or patchouli base. -
Royal Hojari frankincense, 7-year aged raw patchouli, oakmoss, Yemeni myrrh, green fig, omubiri resin, blackberry syrup, and a sprig of crushed mint.

A rolling, unhurried, volcanic passion sustained by a love that is slow, shy, patient, and wise – and expressed through a scent as warm, languorous, luxuriant, and comforting as a cloak of heavy, soft red velvet: deep burgundy musk, red labdanum, smoked rose petals, opoponax, 17-year aged patchouli, blackened vanilla bean, dried black cherries, blackberries, and tobacco absolute.

Tuberose and sweet amber.
-
A creamy coagulation of clove bud and goat's milk.
-
A perfume simply inspired by a vintage Christmas postcard. Rose cream, jasmine cream, mallow, vanilla foam, and sweet amber.
-
An offering made in the depths of the year’s darkness to honor the Solstice sun.

Le Jour des Morts is a scent of remembrance, a blessing for those who have come before us. It is a bittersweet incense with red roses, climbing ivy, black hellebore, black dahlias, and a drop of red wine. Le Jour des morts est un parfum de souvenir, une bénédiction pour ceux qui nous ont précédés. C'est un encens aigre-doux avec des roses rouges, du lierre grimpant, de l'hellébore noir, des dahlias noirs et une goutte de vin rouge. Inky black incense, drop of roses and ivy. I actually get a fair amount of dark incensey florals on top of all of this. Good throw and wear length.

A blast of mental energy: electric white mint, eucalyptus leaf, white frankincense, and blue-white musk.
