lookingglass Report post Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Dance of Death, man. LOVE it. "A gloriously elegant representation of Lady Death. Dry, bone-white orris, black musk, serpentine patchouli and our murkiest myrrh" Edited April 18, 2012 by lookingglass Share this post Link to post

patina Report post Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Days and Nights in Vaults and Charnal Houses. I put some on before I went to sleep and yes, there are flowers and it's a lovely springtime scent, but the sour nitre and under-earth smells didn't exactly help me sleep. As for darkness itself and not creepiness, Dance of Death or Sloth fits. Edited June 3, 2012 by patina Share this post Link to post
Alia Kaitan Report post Posted May 30, 2012 I this thread so much. At least one other person has mentioned this, but Centzon Totochtin is my #1 creepy scent right now. There is just enough blood underneath that lovely cacao and wine to make it quite disturbing! I love it. Others that evoke unsettling darkness to me: Faiza, the Black Mamba Velvet Panther Black Pearl Fallen Nephilim Morgause Darkness (haha, yes.) Dance of Death (like so many others here.)

calivianya Report post Posted June 3, 2012 Vampire Bride has given me chills more than once. I love The Vampire Bride! It's clean, pretty tea and sexy red musk - but I'm going to agree that there is something slightly unsettling about it. It feels predatory - like it's about to snatch some hapless victim and drain him dry. Share this post Link to post
stellamaris Report post Posted June 6, 2012 I don't know if this counts, but yesterday I put on Blossoms in Springtime and it looked so much like watered down blood, that combined with the label art made my hair stand on end. Fortunately it smells like flowery marshmallows Share this post Link to post
sharkdiver Report post Posted June 6, 2012 I think I would have to say: Blood - this had a really unnerving quality to it - it actully did make me think of blood! creepy! U Mutter Museum - smells like old formaldehyde and dead things to me. Share this post Link to post
Gwydion Report post Posted June 8, 2012 Mr. Vandemar definitely smells embalmed. Share this post Link to post
stellamaris Report post Posted June 23, 2012 Oooh and Blood Rose is quite creepy to me, but I love it. Share this post Link to post
Helas Report post Posted June 25, 2012 Ü Mutter Museum smelled like dust, rot, and cold flesh to me. The Seekim is also rather spooky - it doesn't smell evil, but it smells inhuman and fey. I like it but feel a little unnerved whenever I wear it, as if some strange creature is following me. Share this post Link to post
Riletto Report post Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Bringing this back from the dead because weenie stalking and going through my imps and sniffies. I stumbled across The Burying Ground from the Yules and thought of this thread! It gives me the uncomfortable feeling of standing somewhere I should not be, out in nature tainted by murder and flame from long ago. It makes me feel like a ghostly someone is following and wants to tell me what happened or perhaps that if I listened closely I could still hear the echos of the screaming. Definitely a scent that gives me images and feelings! Edited August 11, 2014 by Riletto Share this post Link to post
lamenteuse Report post Posted August 11, 2014 For me it's The Decrepit House. It seems to just be a warm woodsy sent, but it's got a dark, brooding background. Share this post Link to post
Deliciousness Report post Posted August 11, 2014 Though not what I would call olfactory pleasing (at least to me), Gore-Shock blew me away. It was truly terrifying. It was like smelling a rancid meat factory with pools of sticky blood on the dirt floor. Ugh. I couldn't bring myself try it on, it was just too scary for me. On the flip side, I find Samhainophobia to be a dark , cold and haunting scent, yet totally wearable. It's one of my favorites from last years Weenies release. Share this post Link to post
zankoku_zen Report post Posted August 11, 2014 So, my favorite dark and haunting blend that is still wearable has to be Acluophobia. I think the manly equivalent for this is The Final Darkness For disturbing I'd go with: Gore Shock - sticky blood The Day Burned White - haunted house plaster Peninsula Fulminum - scorched wood Worm Moon 2014 - decaying earth It Doesn't Matter Which Way You Go - scorched fur Battle of Vigidr - Viking Apocalypse of Ash and Destruction The Burying Ground - Gore Shock + dirt Memory of Primal Secrets - evil ocean I found in general that the Misk Valley Yule blends of 2013 on the whole seem to be pretty 'eerie'.

theredkilt Report post Posted August 12, 2014 Black Annis. It scared the bejesus out of me Share this post Link to post
Aviatrix Report post Posted August 12, 2014 Nocnitsa is pretty scary too. Like a dark Eastern european forest at midnight. Share this post Link to post
StevenBoatman Report post Posted August 13, 2014 Gore-shock. It's not "dark" in the sense that it makes me picture the color black. It's dark in the way that Silent Hill's Otherworld is dark-it's warm, and bloody, and evil. Share this post Link to post
Dominique Report post Posted August 14, 2014 It may just be my personal scent associations, but Croquet smells like a styling old ghost, who shows up for a haunting with a cane and a top hat. Share this post Link to post
AlectoFurious Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Centzon Totochtin is pretty un-nerving. I love the scent itself: sweet, bloody, and boozy. But I sure as hell don't wear it to bed. It makes for disturbing dreams. Share this post Link to post
Balame Report post Posted August 16, 2014 For "darkness" in general The Final Darkness and Midnight Mass are both really beautiful. For disturbing, Battle of Vigidr. It just smelled "wrong" to me. I actually think Pain is terrible as well, though not in a dark way. It's bright and screeching and reminds me of being in a dental office from Hell. Share this post Link to post
Jensen Report post Posted August 31, 2014 On the flip side, I find Samhainophobia to be a dark , cold and haunting scent, yet totally wearable. It's one of my favorites from last years Weenies release. I'll second that - Samhainophobia is a truly beautiful scent! I'll also throw in Zadok Allen's Vineyard. I can actually feel the copper-metallic blood taste in the back of my throat when I first apply it. Share this post Link to post
DurAnorak Report post Posted August 31, 2014 this thread is talking my language :x my creepiest and best beloved : Kinnabari v4 - absolutely smells of like, hospitals in Silent Hill to me, I only break it out at Halloween :x Hand of Glory - sometimes I see people writing about how comfy and warm it is to them and marvel at the wonders of skin chemistry, because on me it smells like exactly what it says and it's truly horrible :x in a way I really appreciate, but still Pain - will second what Balame says above, it's sharp and screeching and very cruel indeed Sarah - nasty stuff, just like it says; stone and blood and fluttering dead things In His Hands Thy Cruelties Thrive - I'm not saying I don't like smelling like an experimental villainess in her dungeon, mind Rumpelstilzchen - what everybody else seemed to get from Gore-Shock and I didn't (because Gore-Shock was all bacon) Theodosius - truly grim in a white kid gloves, sharp razor, Jack the Ripper sort of way Bezoar - I couldn't have it in the house :x too creepy even for me, which is really saying something. or creepy in the wrong way for me, anyway~ U Mutter Museum - oh my god, yes, it really is the smell of a wunderkammer it's SO AWFUL, I love it so much :x also I've yet to try it myself but Black Annis on my flatmate is the creepiest most amazing awful magic :x Share this post Link to post
