A thumping chant of patchouli, tobacco absolute, black cedar, and cocoa bean.
-
No additional scent description.
-
Be good, or Krampus will toss you in a river! Sinister red musk, black leather, dusty rags, and wooden switches.
-
Salt-crusted wooden planks warmed by cardamom, 7-year aged patchouli, tonka bean, mace, and black pepper.
-
Parchment and hay absolute with black pepper, smoked oud, frankincense, vetiver, and patchouli.
-
A perfume simply inspired by a vintage Christmas postcard. Rose cream, jasmine cream, mallow, vanilla foam, and sweet amber.

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.

Honeyed patchouli, sweet benzoin, smoky labdanum, and white sandalwood.
-
An ode to the BPAL bat: lavender-dusted auburn fur, a drop of hops, Roman chamomile, hay absolute, ambrette seed, and sun-warmed leather.
-
A sebaceous, slick reptilian perfume: green and black vegetal musks, kelp, sea salt, blackened opoponax, violet leaf, Siamese red benzoin, davana, squid ink, and ambergris accord.
-
Red rose petals floating in brackish salt water.
-
A cluster of blood red rose petals dribbling with Amontillado, clove-scorched dragon’s blood resin, incense smoke, myrrh resin, and tabac.
-
Leatherbound tomes and rose cream, flickering flames of twin ambers, and a cascade of shadows: black oud, teakwood, black beeswax, 13-year aged patchouli, cinnabar, balsam, sweet labdanum, tonka bean, and smoke.
-
Ambergris accord, guiac wood, white benzoin, immortelle, and Somalian myrrh. I get light, white musk and something that I swear smells like carrot seed. Unfortunately, this has almost no throw on me.
-
Salt-spray dotting an azure cove, its waters swirling with noxious poisons and venom drawn from dreadful roots: a cascade of blackcurrant and crystalline blue-green waters infused with theriac accord, bruised henbane accord, white gardenia, pear, cedarwood, emerald mosses, tuberose, and bitter almond.
-
Milky-white plastic and a hollow gasp of candy-corn breath, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.
-
The blissful contentment of committing to exist in the moment: white sandalwood smoke, hinoki, white tea, and falling leaves.
-
A caramelized pumpkin kyphi.
-
A blend of five sugars and pumpkin pulp, lightly dusted with candied fruits and a dash of cinnamon.
-
A shroud of black agarwood, cypress, myrrh, and upturned earth, scattered with crushed lavender and creeping with moss-smothered stone.
-
Deep, rich, earthy notes swirled with vegetal musks, sugared vanilla bean, brown leather, and dark spices.
-
Rage and bloody exultation dissolving into divine stillness: white sandalwood, palo santo, rosewood, and lavender.
-
Strangely sinister frumenty: oatmeal, heavy cream, butter, salt, and a whiff of brimstone.
-
Lustrous maraschino cherry fangs illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.
-
Pumpkin puree whipped into thick folds of buttercream
