    Sinister Groundskeeper

    Blood, dirt and a whiff of metal. This is basically metallic blood with some dirt throw in. SPOOKY SPOOKY. Wear to a haunted house hay ride or when you're exploring an abandoned building. Creep yourself and anyone else around you. Wear while watching Suspiria on AmazonPrime and wondering if there's suddenly a corridor hidden behind a wall in your house, and you end up knocking on it just to mare sure. Yanno. Medium throw and wear length.

    Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Buns

    Cinnamon buns with a whiff of pumpkin spice. So extra spicy cinnamon buns? The cinnamon is very prominent, but there is definitely a bread element to this. Good throw and wear length.

    Unsettling Portraits

    Mineral sandalwood, amber, frankincense. This one smells like an antique parlor. Gender neutral to masculine. This to me smells like a place, more than actual perfume. Medium throw and wear length.

    Blackcurrant Pie

    Cinnamon, cardamom, and a whiff of blackcurrants. I am definitely amping up the cinnamon and cardamom in this. Spicy blackcurrant jam. Medium throw and wear length.

    Apple Spice Hard Candy

    A piquant sugar rush.

    Apple Spice Hard Candy

    Spices and a whiff of apple. It smells like apple pie spices with sugar. Medium throw and wear length.

    Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Pie

    Chocolate ganache, and a whiff of both crust and pumpkin spice. For me, this is mainly a dark creamy chocolate blend (not sweet), with enough crust and pumpkin spice to keep it from being all chocolate. Medium throw and wear length.

    From Sunset to Star Rise

    Roses and honeysuckle on wet, and dries down the oudh and musk come out. It's basically a rose and oudh blend right now. I imagine this is what black roses smell like. Good throw and wear length.

    In Night When Colors All to Black Are Cast

    Myrrh, honey, musk, darkness, and a whiff of plum. This one is a darker resinous, inky black scent. Medium throw and wear length.

    The Ghosts of the Year

    Lemongrass, neroli, amber, and a whiff of cedar. This smells very lemony citrus on wet, and as it dries, you get slightly more spicy notes, and the cedar coming through. Every so often there's also the ghost of lavender. It's bright, sunny, lemony. Good throw and wear length.

    An Open Grave Underneath the Heavy Leaves

    Sweet grass, hay and herbs. This one smells sunny and grassy, and I sort of love it. Good throw and wear length.

    Liquid Gold is in the Air

    Juicy apple, amber, and golden oudh. The oudh definitely takes that goldenness and brings it down to earth. I can definitely see this as the golden light of autumn, with the wet dirt and fallen leaves smell. Great scent, good throw and wear length.

    Bleeding Walls

    This was a fruity cherry blend with a whiff of pom and almond. Not as spooky as I thought it would be. Good throw and wear length.

    Bookcase Passage

    Polished oak, and dusty leather, and this smells like Clive Barker's Library. Meaning, sorta creepy? I mean, definitely creepy. It reminds me to the Day Burned White. I think this dust is actual ghost dust, meaning this leather is covered in ghost cocaine. Don't inhale too deeply kiddos. Good throw and wear length of course.

    A Cozy Sweater and an Apple Cider

    Fuzzy wool and a whiff of apple. This does smell cozy. Would make a great room scent or laundry blend. Deliciously comfy.

    Thirteen (13): November 2020

    Okay, this 13 also smells magical, but unlike the 13 September 2019 which smelled like the 13 version of Florida Water, this smells more like 13 stopped by a hoodoo shop, went on an apprenticeship, and basically just blessed your life with a whole bunch of spices. I smell patchouli, hazelnut, carnation, cedar, and a whiff of allspice. UGH this is so good.

    Four Seasons Alchemy Lab

    Lemongrass, incense, herbs and a whiff of ale. This smells like you went to a Renaissance Fest. Medium throw and wear length.

    Wisdom, Justice, Moderation

    Very fresh peach juice, honey and a whiff of woods. Deeply realistic. Smells like a damn summer peach. Great throw and wear length.

    Les Heures de la Nuit

    Blackcurrant musk, white lime, and sparkling white cognac.

    A Glimpse

    A quiet scent, gentle: soft brown leather, a rustle of leaves, warm skin, white sandalwood.

    Luna Azul 2020

    Ted’s interpretation. The ephemeral romance, the fleeting affair: frankincense and blackcurrant, caramelized black amber, and motia attar.
  22. Dried blackberries and blueberries with licorice root, jasmine sambac, black amber, and black musk.
