    I rested this perfume for a month but on my skin it’s just sweet bubblegum + almond. I wish this was more complex.

  2. Raechel Altieri –

    When I first apply this to the skin, it smells very floral. The lotus really comes through. When it calms down, the almond really comes through strongly. It smells almost coconutty on my skin.

  3. santi_life13 –

    Warm, sweet almond and saffron. The amber, myrrh, and musk lend a sensual creaminess that clings close to the skin without going animalic. Bastet feminine, comforting, and just cozy. A gorgeous blend… I’m definitely getting a full size of this one.

  4. CarolineCarnivorous –

    Warm and exotic. A bit sweeter when I open the bottle and on my skin, the almond seems to be brought forward, then the lotus, making it more sweet and flowery. Hours later it becomes warmer and spicier, but it’s pretty weak. Not a new favorite, although nice.

  5. jsauls128 –

    Heady and delicious. Smells like warmth in winter.

  6. Carissa Stephens –

    This is one of my new favorite scents. It lasts, and that’s one of the things I look out for. It lasts for a decent amount of time, and it still smells amazing as it fades. It’s warm, spicy, and slightly floral.

  7. gfeltovich –

    Ambery and warm. A dry, spiced almond; definitely reminds me of the desert. It’s almond-y, but not too sweet, almost herbal— interesting!

  8. BellaLugosi –

    A very warm but complex, feminine smell for me. Like it very much! First wet on the skin this gives me a sweet vanilla-lotiony scent but dries very quickly and becomes a bit spicier and more complex, the vanilla fading to a barely noticeable minimum and an elegant, embery, calming but not dulling scent staying all day. Wore it to work at the museum in the egyptian collection and it made for a very nice all-senses kinda way experience. Might order a full size, really adore it!

  9. Belladonna –

    This is all amber and musk. Warm and sweet. There’s a slight spicyness, but I don’t smell any almond or florals. Overall I’d say it’s a gentle perfume that smells intriguing without being overwhelmingly strong. I’d say it lasted on my skin for about 6 hours, but I enjoyed it the entire time. Bastet smells like warm sands and Egyptian sunsets to me.

  10. Lauren Holt –

    Stunning. All the warmth of a cats purr and a dirty chai latte. Warms beautifully on the skin. I’m in love.

  11. Andrea Beres –

    Soft, warm, and sweet. An everyday scent.
    But fades quickly on me.

  12. Lauren Messenger –

    This is a powerful, warm, and comforting scent. It’s comforting and compelling but not sweet, at all. The almond, amber, and musk notes come through most clearly. Makes me think of curling up by a fireplace, in the winter, with a book and a mug of tea.

    Huge snowstorm here in upstate New York in February (not unexpected, it is upstate New York). Had to shovel to get out of my house, ugh. Then after shoveling and showering and hot beverage I had to go food shopping. On a whim, I put this scent on (it was a frimp) and immediately felt warm and cozy. The cinnamon and cardamon are initially strong but die down within a half hour, leaving a warm spiciness behind laced with amber. A very warm scent, I don’t know that I’d wear this in the summer because of the warmth it invokes in me, but during the snowy winters and even our damp springs, I love this.

  14. Claire –

    This starts out fresher than I anticipated and then softens into something a little softer and deeper. I like it; it has a calming effect overall.

  15. xancanfly –

    Smells like sweet almonds to me. It’s a lovely, feminine, soft scent. The only issue is that, for me, it literally smells faintly for about half an hour then vanishes. So i will either have to constantly reapply, or only smell good for a little bit. Though it might just be my skin.

  16. jhooper12 –

    I got this as a freebie with my order which was great because I had debated buying this one. I was hoping to like it but it just doesn’t do anything for me. When wet it reminds me of a much milder version of Cathedral, the smokiness not as strong as Cathedral. After a few hours it becomes more of a floral scent. I don’t mind wearing it but I wouldn’t purchase it again.

    Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” in a bottle.

  18. lookingglass –

    Wet she’s a blast of almondy sweetness…drying down though, Bastet really wins my heart. It’s indescribable really. I used to wear Egyptian musk as a single note, and while I can recognize it here it is SO much more sophisticated: Clean, yet sweet, soft, slightly powdery. The lotus is sweet but not bublegummy like it can be (thank the gods). The saffron…spicy amber with the sweet…a magical, soft yet powerful skin scent. The scent just radiates golden light.

    ETA: This blend has become very special to me. My cats obviously love it-they come over and get some lovin’ consistently when I wear it. I have also used it in ritual work and when wee kitties have passed. I’m very thankful for this one.

  19. Mija –

    This scent always makes me feel powerful, sensual, warm. Love it and so does my husband.

  20. Jadeah –

    the scent of the woman which knows how to seduce men. the scent of a true priestess, I feel Im a witch when I wear it. Hot, powerful and mature.

  21. Zoe –

    This is a huge confidence-boosting scent for me. Feminine and powerful, it manages to have a delicate, warm presence while still feeling unapologetic and solar/radiating. In my imagination, this is what Beyonce smells like.

  22. Rebecca –

    This is a scent i wear when i’m feeling need of comforting. It is
    The amber is soothing and warming. Love wearing it.

  23. Erin –

    A very warm and pleasant scent. Definitely one of my favorites that I’ve ordered.

  24. [email protected] –

    Resinous yet soft with focus on the amber, myrrh and spice. The feminine counterpart of Anubis on my skin, lighter, with not as much staying power or throw. Very pleasant and a good option for those who love Anubis bur are seeking something a bit lighter.

  25. Velvet Lilly –

    Gently warm, comforting and delicious. Almond leads here, blending beautifully with the amber and cardamom to give it a sort of creamy soft spiciness.
    This is gorgeous.

  26. ann –

    very sensual, warm, embracing…like a purring cat. soft fur, with a memory of sharp claws.

  • Le Lèthè Perfume Oil

    Viens sur mon coeur, âme cruelle et sourde,
    Tigre adoré, monstre aux airs indolents;
    Je veux longtemps plonger mes doigts tremblants
    Dans l’épaisseur de ta crinière lourde;

    Dans tes jupons remplis de ton parfum
    Ensevelir ma tête endolorie,
    Et respirer, comme une fleur flétrie,
    Le doux relent de mon amour défunt.

    Je veux dormir! dormir plutôt que vivre!
    Dans un sommeil aussi doux que la mort,
    J’étalerai mes baisers sans remords
    Sur ton beau corps poli comme le cuivre.

    Pour engloutir mes sanglots apaisés
    Rien ne me vaut l’abîme de ta couche;
    L’oubli puissant habite sur ta bouche,
    Et le Léthé coule dans tes baisers.

    À mon destin, désormais mon délice,
    J’obéirai comme un prédestiné;
    Martyr docile, innocent condamné,
    Dont la ferveur attise le supplice,

    Je sucerai, pour noyer ma rancoeur,
    Le népenthès et la bonne ciguë
    Aux bouts charmants de cette gorge aiguë
    Qui n’a jamais emprisonné de coeur.

    Come, lie upon my breast, cruel, insensitive soul,
    Adored tigress, monster with the indolent air;
    I want to plunge trembling fingers for a long time
    In the thickness of your heavy mane,

    To bury my head, full of pain
    In your skirts redolent of your perfume,
    To inhale, as from a withered flower,
    The moldy sweetness of my defunct love.

    I wish to sleep! to sleep rather than live!
    In a slumber doubtful as death,
    I shall remorselessly cover with my kisses
    Your lovely body polished like copper.

    To bury my subdued sobbing
    Nothing equals the abyss of your bed,
    Potent oblivion dwells upon your lips
    And Lethe flows in your kisses.

    My fate, hereafter my delight,
    I’ll obey like one predestined;
    Docile martyr, innocent man condemned,
    Whose fervor aggravates the punishment.

    I shall suck, to drown my rancor,
    Nepenthe and the good hemlock
    From the charming tips of those pointed breasts
    That have never guarded a heart.

    Red musk and sweat-damp golden skin musk with labdanum, golden amber, nutmeg, tobacco absolute, black orchid, and hemlock accord.

  • Row Bullies Row Perfume Oil

    The boardinghouse masters came aboard in a trice
    A shouting and a promising all that was nice
    Til one old crib took a liking to me
    Says he you’re a fool, lad, to follow the sea

    And it’s row, row bullies row

    Says he there’s a job as is waiting for you
    With lashings of liquor and beggar-all to do
    Says he what you say lad, will you? – or two?
    Says I you old bastard, I’m damned if I do

    And it’s row, row bullies row

    But the best of intentions they never goes far
    After thirty two days at the door of the bar
    I tossed off me liquor and what do you think
    That rotten old bastard had doctored me drink

    And it’s row, row bullies row

    Next I remember I woke in the morn
    On a the three skysail yarder bound south round Cape Horn
    With an old set of oilskins and two pair of socks
    And an IOU nailed to the lid of my box

    And it’s row, row bullies row

    Honeyed rum, a whiff of almond, and a hint of something suspiciously soporific.
