"raw patchouli, opoponax, and a coppery dry blood exhale" Patchouli, blood, and a whiff of resins. This is mainly a bloody patchouli, with a whiff of smoke and resins. Good throw and wear length. Would be great for a LARP character.

A holding chamber for blood returning from the lungs: red mimosa, airy white cedar, pink grapefruit, and white amber. Mimosa, grapefruit, and amber. This one is a whiffy mimosa with amber. Wispy. Medium throw and wear length.

Sweet, earthy and purifying

Lilac chypre, clove bud, oakmoss, violet bud, cassis, patchouli, jasmine absolute, and labdanum.

No scent description.

No additional scent description.

[No additional description provided.] Opium, dead leaves, and a touch of nutmeg. And a touch of opium. Good throw and wear length.

In between earth and sea, in between days – the liminal space between lifetimes: driftwood and vetiver, chamomile and seaweed, ocean foam and tears. I get mainly driftwood, a hint of chamomile, and ocean. It's a watery woody blend. And I actually really love it. Would consider more.

The world’s heart breaks beneath its wars: starlit blue musk, a burst of night-dark amber, sweet patchouli, lemon peel, bergamot, French lavender, and cypress.

Coconut and fig, with a whiff of vanilla. This is a coconutty, figgy blend. Very tropical. Good throw and wear length.

White champaca absolute, red sandalwood, gardenia blossom, amber wood, and cognac.

Hearts unsullied: red sandalwood, olibanum, white cedar, palmarosa, myrrh, vanilla husk, and cardamom.

But to the chamber which lies most westwardly of the seven, there are now none of the maskers who venture; for the night is waning away; and there flows a ruddier light through the blood-colored panes; and the blackness of the sable drapery appals; and to him whose foot falls upon the sable carpet, there comes from the near clock of ebony a muffled peal more solemnly emphatic than any which reaches their ears who indulge in the more remote gaieties of the other apartments. But these other apartments were densely crowded, and in them beat feverishly the heart of life. Night-blooming jasmine and cereus reflected through ruddy musk and crimson amber. Jasmine, musk, and a whiff of amber. This one is a floral jasmine, with heavy red musk. It smells like dusty velvet jasmine. Medium throw and wear length.

The largest artery in the body. Red rose for the intima, the innermost layer of the aorta, and wild plum and apricot pulp for media, with vetiver – this perfume’s adventitia – providing structure to the scent. Plum, apricot, and red rose. This is a plummy fruity red rose blend. As if Peacock Queen went and gorged herself on plums and apricots. Great throw and wear length.

Rose water and fading lilies, opium and honey, pale cologne and bloodstained white lace.

No additional scent description provided.

With butterscotch chips.

[No additional description provided.]

Salt-crusted mahogany, crimson musk, sea moss, bourbon vanilla, parchment, beeswax, tonka bean, and leather.

Bring out the amorous trash panda in you: a winter’s backdrop of slush, snow-covered evergreens, juniper, and winter gardenia with sweet brown musk, rooty patchouli, spicy birch, hay absolute, osmanthus, and a pile of uprooted pansies.

Fierce, warm, and animalic.

Sweetly triumphant.

Sweet cocoa dust, incense, and a whiff of tea. It's sweet cocoa and incensey mainly on me. Medium throw and wear length.

Honeyed milk, figs and a whiff of cedarwood. This one is a sweet, milky figgy blend on me. Medium throw and wear length.
