Be sure to visit early in the morning to watch as scores of flaky chocolate-filled croissant are rolled out on a walnut countertop with a maplewood rolling pin.

Red Amber, Orange Blossom, and Pink Pepper

Many an hour has been whiled away in this gentlemanly retreat: skin-warmed steel, fresh cedar shavings, a creamy fougere lather, a soothing splash of orange blossom water, and the distant memory of blood and bandages.

We owe everything to the USPS! And we certainly wouldn’t mind waiting in line surrounded by this ink-smudged, papery shuffle of letters, parcels, and holiday cards stuffed into a mahogany mailbox cabinet covered in shiny brass doors with a faint whiff of fruitcake.

Dark and brooding, a vampiric lovesong. Sumatran Daemonorops draco, fossilized amber, red vegetal musk, and champaca resinoid.

A shell of milky plastic encasing fond memories of bread pudding with strawberry cream, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.

A scarecrow’s cologne, crunchy with hay and spattered with foamy, sweet soil: a cornmeal fougere with patchouli root, clove bud, honey stout, roasted oats, fermented apple pulp, and bourbon cream.

This is an instant love for me. I'm wearing it right now, and I smell like Cottagecore. Someone who got tired of the city, and bought an Alpaca farm in the woods. Romping the countryside with velvet fur hounds, filling my blog with perfect photos highlighting the Queen Anne Victorian gingerbread houses I create, all while writing a book about Dark Academia. Occasionally I ride my leather lined Fiat convertible back to the city and invite lovers to my wild woods for a nuzzle beside the fire ( and to nosh gingerbread). It's good, it's VERY good and after some years it will be iconic.

Dorian's in the attic getting phat on cupcakes. Rich tea flavored cakes spread high with the most delicious vanilla buttercream. It's completely something beyond iconic Dorian. It's oh so creamy and warm on my arm. I get most of the tea at the beginning, until a "poof" of sweet vanilla takes over and blankets the musks. My #1 for 2023 ***editing to say take this subjectively cause I still have a few more to try

There was a pumpkin floating in the swamp. Every day it would bob and drift, floating around with the alligators and the gar. Amber-touched pumpkin rind and murky oud plunked into a boggy melange of mosses.

Our friend, Lee Moyer, asked if Lilith could be a model for an illustration of Wednesday Addams that he was working on. They wanted a photo of her in a lab and of course I jumped at the chance to take a photo of my baby. I grabbed my camera and we set up a little table. We had so much fun decorating the table. Lilith was running around grabbing things and saying, “Can we use this? Can we use that?” Luckily for her, there’s no shortage of creepy things scattered around her house. A little kid’s interpretation of a gothy goth perfume: sugared clove and vanilla patchouli with cacao, dried Avignon rose petals, and a bit of black cherry. Ahhhh, sugar crusted spices all swimming around in creamy, dreamy perfect patch. The beautiful clove is the top note, along with heavenly vanilla and the fizzy cherry notes, this verges on being gourmand in a candied way. The rose is dry and delicately entwines with the heavier dark notes, this is so pretty and youthful for a spiced fragrance. I seriously love sugared scents, and Wednesday hits my sweet spots just right. I can also see this becoming even more glorious in a few months as the cherry note deepens with the rose, and it really is a happy shoegazer girly version of Goth Queen to me.

Getting a lavender cornbread sort of scent upon application. No coconut yet, or the corn is actually wet coconut. I'm of the minority not loving this wet. It really gets going for me after it dries. Yesterday, kept smelling something and realized it was this. LOVE the dry version, all floofy sugared whipped cream with the slightest hint of coconut on crust. The lavender note is minimal, in the background giving a purple tinge YUMMY
