    A swamp witch awakens from a long slumber. She pushes away the growth of moss and notices her cauldron is still bubbling after all of these years, a deep resinous concoction. Her hanging dried flowers are just as perfect as always with their dusty florality. She realizes her self-necromancy ritual was successful.

    I got this as a frimp, and I’m glad I did — I wouldn’t have picked it, since I’m not a perfume head, and I have no context for what ‘opoponax’ smells like in a vacuum. It smells incense-y, as you might expect from something with three different tree resins, but there’s a ‘high’ note (top note? is that what smell people call it?) that takes it from general incense to specifically ‘that New Age store in the mall that I loved when I was young but my mom hated because it set off her asthma’. That store is long gone, but this perfume remains.

    Very warm, deep, creamy floral. The orchid is doing a lot of the work but layers really cozily into this scent. Gets a little more powdery on my skin. Winter/fall scent, unisex to femme.

    I got this as a frimp, and was surprised to see it described as disconcerting and heavy. Just a very pleasant, musky, warm, sweet scent to me. Didn’t stand out enough to make me want a full bottle.

    Once it settles a very ,warm, spicy and mature scent. Very similar to the yves saint laurent opium but not as cloying. A little goes a long way.

    I didn’t get anything disconcerting from it at all. It smells warm and incense-y, with a flash of something metallic. Like an old tarnished silver perfume bottle pendant bought in New Orleans when I was young. Mysterious and smooth. Good. Very Good.

    This scent really does pull you in. Reminds me of a mysterious perfume I was gifted in a very abstract black bottle by a former acquaintance. Smells intimate, captivating, sophisticated, not too complex either. Honestly smells more feminine than I prefer, but nonetheless I admire it & hope my wife takes to wearing it.

    This one is really hard to describe. I recognized a lot of notes that bpal has used in the background of other perfumes, but I couldn’t put my finger on any single element. (It reminds me most of the underlying scent in Morocco, only with out the too heavy perfumey overscent) So that made it feel familiar, while definitely being its own thing. Dark and mysterious, with a powerful mystique, this one is definitely a keeper.

    woahh. I can’t describe the smell but it is powerful, mysterious, and unique. It almost smells like the ozone in the air before a storm? It is a weird scent, definitely just-this-side of perfumey. Like it smells pleasant enough that I can wear it as a perfume, but definitely unlike any perfume I’ve encountered before. This is for days when you want to intimidate people in a way that they can’t quite put their finger on. I wouldn’t wear it for a date, but I’d wear it for a meeting where I need to show everyone whose boss.

    Imagine a demonic priestess has just unleashed a spell of black fire upon a church- that’s Event Horizon. I absolutely adore this smell, it makes me feel pure evil. It smells hot, dark, and thick, with just enough sweetness to still be appealing.

    This is my new favorite scent…I absolutely love wearing it and feel totally badass in it!

  12. nborges –

    Definitely a heavy scent that may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I love that. I wear it on days I want to smell intimidating and untouchable.

  13. Gloame –

    Disconcerting is a good descriptor for this blend, but I don’t think it’s disconcerting in a bad way. It’s just unusual. It calls for a double-take when smelled.

    The overall impression I get of it is dry wood, warmed up and ready to burn. The orchid gives it enough warm floral to balance out the heaviness of the other notes. I think it’s quite lovely.

    Unisex, woody, soft, warm.

  • The Forest Reverie Perfume Oil

    ‘Tis said that when
    The hands of men
    Tamed this primeval wood,
    And hoary trees with groans of woe,
    Like warriors by an unknown foe,
    Were in their strength subdued,
    The virgin Earth Gave instant birth
    To springs that ne’er did flow
    That in the sun Did rivulets run,
    And all around rare flowers did blow
    The wild rose pale Perfumed the gale
    And the queenly lily adown the dale
    (Whom the sun and the dew
    And the winds did woo),
    With the gourd and the grape luxuriant grew.

    So when in tears
    The love of years
    Is wasted like the snow,
    And the fine fibrils of its life
    By the rude wrong of instant strife
    Are broken at a blow
    Within the heart
    Do springs upstart
    Of which it doth now know,
    And strange, sweet dreams,
    Like silent streams
    That from new fountains overflow,
    With the earlier tide
    Of rivers glide
    Deep in the heart whose hope has died —
    Quenching the fires its ashes hide, —
    Its ashes, whence will spring and grow
    Sweet flowers, ere long,
    The rare and radiant flowers of song!

    A sunlit ancient forest, dotted with wild roses, grape vine, and queenly lilies, clothed in swirls of opium smoke.

  • Bess Perfume Oil

    I grieve and dare not show my discontent,
    I love and yet am forced to seem to hate,
    I do, yet dare not say I ever meant,
    I seem stark mute but inwardly do prate.
    I am and not, I freeze and yet am burned,
    Since from myself another self I turned.
    My care is like my shadow in the sun,
    Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it,
    Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
    His too familiar care doth make me rue it.
    No means I find to rid him from my breast,
    Till by the end of things it be supprest.
    Some gentler passion slide into my mind,
    For I am soft and made of melting snow;
    Or be more cruel, love, and so be kind.
    Let me or float or sink, be high or low.
    Or let me live with some more sweet content,
    Or die and so forget what love ere meant.
