    This is a nice scent and basically matches exactly what it says it’s going to be. I can smell coconut predominantly followed by the other scents listed. It’s a warm scent. I can actually see how it’s similar to Miskatonic, actually as another reviewer pointed out, except neither of these ever smelled like parchment or old books to me, but very much like food.

    This smells nice, but it is VERY, VERY similar to Miskatonic University imo. (Actually, nearly indistinguishable, which is strange because they apparently have different notes) Just like Miskatonic, the heady, creamy foodie scent dries down to an old book smell. I smell NO coconut whatsoever, in any stage of wear, and I’ve worn this 3 times since purchasing. The rum is pleasant, not overpowering, and stays until the end when it is coupled with the old book scent. I smell NO true tobacco either. A twin scent to Miskatonic. A pretty scent but I’m not crazy about it.

    Sunny & warm.

  4. Gloame –

    Top notes: omgosh vanilla sugar. But it mellows really quickly and then it’s a lovely, smooth, sugared tobacco. I’m struggling to pick up the rum note. Maybe I should drink it more often to be better familiarized to it.

    Caribbean, sunny, warm. Love it.

  5. flushedwithglee –

    Right off initial application, the rum is quite strong to me, a sharp note that I don’t entirely enjoy. The scent mellows out after a few minutes, though, into a softer, coconutty perfume with a background note of vanilla-y, kind of fruity or lily-like (might be the tobacco?) something. I don’t dislike it, but I’m not really fond of it, either.

  6. Kristin –

    I received this as a freebie with an order of imps, and it became my favorite out of everything I got!

    It is a very sweet scent, but it also has a lovely warmth to it that rounds it out and keeps it from getting that weird tang that cheap overly sweet commercial perfumes tend to have.

  7. Bimini –

    I love the sweetness of this scent!

    A sweet, buttered, almost-almondy rum is what came to my mind upon application. The rum never expressed itself in a “boozy” way; it’s more akin to rum-flavored bakery. The coconut and tobacco became clearer as it dried, and the two pair together quite well.

    The loa would be pleased with this scent.

  8. Luca Turin –

    Sugar, rum, coconut and tobacco, in that order, are all very obvious and up front in Elegba. This would be a top notch oil for dressing candles for a Santaria ritual but for me, it is far too sweet to wear. There are really no subtleties to comment on for there is nothing subtle about it. What you see in the description is exactly what you smell with the sugar and rum coming first.

  9. Jade –

    If you love sweet scents, this might be one for you!

    The sweet rum, followed by coconut, comes across the clearest, with just a hint of a sharpness to the scent to keep it from becoming the bitter sugar sweetness that I’ve found in some commercially made sweet perfumes.

    Definitely speaks (vs. screaming. 😉 ) in rich ‘warm night with a sultry breeze’ sort of tropical tones. Or a coconut cookie, in a less poetic description. 🙂

    13 Perfume Oil September 2024

    13 is significant, whether you consider it lucky, unlucky or just plain odd. Many believe it to be unfortunate…

    …because there were 13 present at the Last Supper.
    …Loki crashed a party of 12 at Valhalla, which ended in Baldur’s death.
    …Oinomaos killed 13 of Hippodamia’s suitors before Pelops finally, in his own shady way, defeated the jealous king.
    …In ancient Rome, Hecate’s witches gathered in groups of 12, the Goddess herself being the 13th in the coven.

    Concern over the number thirteen echoes back beyond the Christian era. Line 13 was omitted form the Code of Hammurabi.

    The shivers over Friday the 13th also have some interesting origins:

    …Christ was allegedly crucified on Friday the 13th.
    …On Friday, October 13, 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered the arrests of Jaques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and sixty of his senior knights.
    …In British custom, hangings were held on Fridays, and there were 13 steps on the gallows leading to the noose.

    To combat the superstition, Robert Ingersoll and the Thirteen Club held thirteen-men dinners during the 19th Century. Successful? Hardly. The number still invokes trepidation to this day. A recent whimsical little serial killer study showed that the following murderers all have names that total thirteen letters:

    Theodore Bundy
    Jeffrey Dahmer
    Albert De Salvo
    John Wayne Gacy

    And, with a little stretch of the imagination, you can also fit “Jack the Ripper” and “Charles Manson” into that equation.

    More current-era paranoia: modern schoolchildren stop their memorization of the multiplication tables at 12. There were 13 Plutonium slugs in the atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki. Apollo 13 wasn’t exactly the most successful space mission. All of these are things that modern triskaidekaphobes point to when justifying their fears.

    For some, 13 is an extremely fortuitous and auspicious number…

    …In Jewish tradition, God has 13 Attributes of Mercy. Also, there were 13 tribes of Israel, 13 principles of Jewish faith, and 13 is considered the age of maturity.
    …The ancient Egyptians believed that there were 12 stages of spiritual achievement in this lifetime, and a 13th beyond death.
    …The word for thirteen, in Chinese, sounds much like the word which means “must be alive”.

    Thirteen, whether you love it or loathe it, is a pretty cool number all around.

    …In some theories of relativity, there are 13 dimensions.
    …It is a prime number, lucky number, star number, Wilson Prime, and Fibonacci number.
    …There are 13 Archimedean solids.

    AND…
    …There were 13 original colonies when the United States were founded.

    Says a lot about the US, doesn’t it?

    Be not alarmed, but show your pluck! Hallow-’Een goblins bring you luck!

  • Dead Blonde Perfume Oil

    “Of course young women enjoy slashers. Adolescent girls have spent their lives absorbing our cultural disgust for womanhood, only to find themselves thrust into the middle of it, suddenly the butt of every joke. Their underlying anxieties are hit with a toxic sludge of predatory attention, sexual objectification, and impossible standards, growing to fifty times their natural size. It is not easy to become a monster. It is not fun to slip – suddenly and for the rest of your life – out of humanity and into womanhood. Girls are left reckoning with the fact that their social status, their human value, even their basic survival, are all suddenly contingent on men. Thus, at the exact moment they’re beginning to have sex and enter romantic relationships, girls watch stories in which a moment’s lapse in judgment, or a single instance of giving in to temptation, results and agony and annihilation – not because that’s what they want, but because it’s already happening, and they have precious few other ways to process it.”

    A wilting corsage of tea roses and white roses, bearing forensic traces of honeyed lip gloss and coconut oil suntan lotion.

  • Leave Her, Johnny Perfume Oil

    Oh the times are hard and the wages low
    Leave her, Johnny, leave her
    Oh the times are hard and the wages low
    And it’s time for us to leave her.

    Oh my old mother she wrote to me
    ‘My dear son, come home from sea.’

    It was rotten meat and weevilly bread
    ‘You’ll eat or starve,’ the Old Man said.

    I thought I heard the Old Man say
    ‘You can go ashore and collect your pay.’

    It’s time for us to say goodbye
    For the old pierhead is drawing nigh.

    Leave her, Johnny, leave her
    Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
    The voyage is done and the winds don’t blow
    And it’s time for us to leave her.

    A sailor’s love song to her ship: Laotian oud, white cedarwood, sweet black patchouli, spiced rum, blackened fig, and coconut.
