This is an oil of protection – protection through bindings, limitations, and force of will. It is an oil that protects by defusing, inhibiting, constraining, and banishing curses, and of shoving your enemies back and away from you. The Goat’s Horns fortify you by setting boundaries, maintaining endurance, and for empowering you to overcome your enemies through sheer will, determination, and a stubborn and formidable refusal to capitulate. This oil is relentless. Cypress essential oil and leaf (Cupressus sempervirens), patchouli essential oil and patchouli leaf from the TAL garden (Pogostemon cablin), myrrh essential oil and tears (Commiphora myrrha and Commiphora kua), opoponax gum resin (Commiphora opoponax), Solomon’s seal root (Polygonatum biflorum), rue essential oil and rue from the TAL garden (Ruta graveolens), grey vegetal musk, goat’s rue (Galega officinalis), and ethically sourced goat horn. This oil is not vegan. No goats were harmed in the creation of this oil.

This scent is both ethereal and heavy; it is a booming roar of derision, a howl of resistance echoing into the darkness: a chilly aldehyde with blackened clove and coffee bean, black sandalwood, nutmeg, nag champa, white amber, and benzoin.

Mentioned in the 2011 Willcall thread. Possibly inspired by Luis Ricardo Falero (Spanish, 1851-1896)'s Faust’s Vision (1878). This one is a musky blend, its got a fair bit of incense in it as well, and something that is very airy without being ozoney. On me it has low throw and sticks close to the skin, but its a very Halloween appropriate blend. It does bring up ideas of witches, and I believe there's some herbal greenness to the blend as well (maybe hemlock? ivy?)

Green tea, oakmoss, and star anise.

Sweet, quiet, velvet darkness: an eddy of dry maple leaves, blackcurrant juice, patchouli root, and bourbon.

Golden mead fermented with gruit, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, ginger root, sweet-briar, lemon, orange slices, and blackberries.

Two years ago, we had Vampire Princess. Now we’ve got Vampire Tween: blood musk and lavender with bourbon vanilla, strawberry cotton candy, and buttercream.

Sweet amber, mandarin, and lemon peel.

Lascivious, flirtatious, and vampy as hell. A true heartbreaker’s perfume. The innocence of orange blossom tainted by the beguiling scents of ginger and patchouli. Oh god Vixen. You're better than Hollywood Babylon, by far. On first application, I get a huge hit of orange blossom and sugared patchouli. If you stayed in the same level of throw, we would be having a really torrid encounter right about now. And by torrid, I mean, I'd be stalking every single sale and swap page for you. Sadly, my hair seems to eat you up almost immediately. About an hour later, I just get faint whiffs of orange blossom and ginger. Where did you go? Why did you leave me? Was my hair not good enough for you? I swear, whatever it is, I can make it better. I can change. Next time, it won't be like this. Just come back. Just come back.

The splendor and terror of Totality: an abyss of black patchouli, tabac, burgundy pitch, smoky frankincense, and black fig surrounded by a glowing nimbus of fossilized amber.

Dark brandy, spiced rum, heavy cream, sugar, and a dash of nutmeg baked into a thick, creamy cheesecake.

A .38 caliber bullet fashioned from cocobolo wood and brass. Wooden Bullet was straight up smoky vetiver, wood, and gunpowder. In other words, a masculine version of Agnes Nutter - although smoother and woodier.

A fiery deepening gloom, or the last dregs of shadow before dawn: black pomegranate, black lilac, indigo blossom, amber, orange peel, bergamot, velvet myrrh, and eucalyptus blossom.

A purifying blend crafted to help you release old patterns, sever problematic connections, and clear your cache of unwanted and corrupted data. Delete all the apps that no longer serve you: copal, white sandalwood, sage, frankincense, elemi, lavender, palo santo, salt, and nutmeg.

Bubbling, sebaceous globs of black cherry, scabby dried red fruits, bitter almond, and cherry liqueur pushing through cracked and peeling velvet-flocked wallpaper.

Golden amber, sheer white musk, tonka bean, guava pulp, fig, ylang ylang, sugar cane, and a whole mess of bananas.

Bright, grassy spring green tea with bamboo. And then it dries with a touch of drier patchouli, and musk. Medium throw and wear length.

This one is odd. It starts off as grapefruit but as it dries, it get spicier and drier, and after a while the citrus note disappears and I'm left with a citrusy pepper. Medium throw and wear length.

The cinnamon softens the leather, but this is predominantly a leather blend. Suede-like almost. Good throw and wear length.
