DUSTY • COLD • PERIPHERAL. Presences perceived at the margins. The feeling of being observed. Shadow People is an unsettling scent of dust, oakmoss, static electricity, and the mineral dampness of geosmin. It subtly alters the space around you, and l...

SHEER • DIAPHANOUS • LUMINOUS. A threshold between worlds, The Veil is the scent of light filtering through sheer fabric. At the core is a constellation of musks that echo the warmth and intimacy of skin. Orris butter introduces a powdery stillness, ...

SKINLIKE • ECHOING • ELUSIVE. The Doppelgänger is a second self encountered at the edges of perception. Supernatural musks, soft and quietly alive, blur the line between skin and air. Sheer woods, pale and abstract, give structure without solidity. I...

Part smoke, part wood, and all wild magic. Poltergeist is a blend of sexy galbanum, wormwood, rich ambers, and scorched birch tar for an otherworldly fragrance.

MUSKY • TRANSLUCENT • DIFFUSIVE. A spectral residue suspended between worlds. Cold citrus and aromatic woods evaporate into a cloud of luminous vapor before melting into creamy lactonic florals and translucent sandalwood. Skin musks and ambergris dri...

ETHEREAL • ELEGANT • HAUNTING. Spectral Grace lingers between glamour and decay, like the atmosphere of an abandoned Hollywood soundstage. At the heart is Lily of the Valley: pale, precise, and quietly luminous. Notes of fine dust and damp stone foll...

Deliciously dangerous notes of campari, herbaceous gin, and vetiver are shaken and poured into the intoxicating Deadly Nightcap.

Nightmare dressed as a daydream. A twisted and addictive juicy floral. Obsessive Lilacs open to the thrill of dark demons. Twisted with sharp Gooseberries drenched in juice. Finishing this intoxication with smooth white amber.

An invitation to slow down with Floating Forest, a cooling aquatic floral inspired by Shorea cuspidata, a towering rainforest tree once native to Borneo and lost to logging after 1998. Known for rising over 160 feet into the canopy, it was part of on...

It’s a very interesting fragrance, but in the best way possible. The strength of it is not overwhelming but enough to smell on yourself for quite a while. It is in fact an every day wear fragrance, it’s very misty and not exactly floral but there’s t...

This smells like a spiritual shop, or a seance room in a haunted house attraction, or the way Halloween felt in the 90s-00s. This is a perfume I can imagine Nancy wearing in The Craft.

This is the ultimate "ghost scent". It is a soft, barely-there mix of skin musk and sheer white floral notes. It smells like someone was just there.

A haunting, aquatic scent. It features cold sea salt, aged wood, and misty air. It smells exactly like a phantom vessel.

For me, it takes me back to childhood when my parents were antique dealers and would often have centuries-old oak chests or chests of drawers. There's a smell in Moth that is, for me, antique wood, but mixed with things that have been stored in it ov...

It reminds me of a dark boudoir with deep crimson low lighting, plush dark velvet wall hangings and furniture, incense burning, a dark vampire seductress tempting you in to her lair.

Passage D'Enfer is THE church fragrance to me, without a doubt. Avignon is THE church incense with Cardinal and Full Incense right behind it. But Passage does something different, somehow with its blend of incense and lily it was the first fragrance ...

Something about cherry and violet almost makes it minty on me at first until it dries down more. It's nice but not as much of a dark or vampiric scent as people make it sound. Much more wood than blood.

I got it solely because someone said it smelled like Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It does! But it also to me smells like what a well preserved but abandoned and haunted Victorian mansion in New Orleans would smell like. Old wood, faint lem...

It was the original Zoologist Bat formulation , it smells like fresh damp earth, rainforest and bananas.

It's so interesting reading through reviews of this fragrance that describe it as dusty, dry and papery. I find Abandoned Mansion to smell exactly like a little candlelit amaro bar in my neighborhood - warm and and even juicy, like a spiced punch wit...

I have not tried it, but a lot of people describe it as melancholy and ghostly.

A goth scent, it’s cold and grounded like a crypt bathed in moonlight. Stone, privet flowers on the hedge, nighttime, a forgotten place, incense from the ages imbedded in the walls, tranquil.
