Ghouls do not build. They are parasites and scavengers, eaters of carrion. The city they call Ghûlheim is something they found, long ago, but did not make. No one they call knows (if anyone human ever knew) what kind of creatures it was that made those buildings, who honeycombed the rock with tunnels and towers, but it is certain that no-one but the ghoul-folk could have wanted to stay there, or even to approach that place.
Even from the path below Ghûlheim, even from miles away, Bod could see that all of the angles were wrong — that the walls sloped crazily, that it was every nightmare he had ever endured made into a place, like a huge mouth of jutting teeth. It was a city that had been built just to be abandoned, in which all the fears and madnesses and revulsions of the creatures who built it were made into stone. The ghoul folk had found it and delighted in it and called it home.
A dark and disjointed scent: smoke and black musk, bladderwrack, opopponax, galangal, and pepper.
“I feel like all the sands are at the bottom of the hourglass.”
“Turn it over, then.”
The white roses and orange blossoms of hope penetrating despair’s black fog of opoponax, black myrrh, bruised violet, clove, funereal lily, and grief-struck carrot seed.
“You’re dead, Mad Sweeney,” said Shadow. “You take what you’re given when you’re dead.”
“Aye, that I shall,” sighed the dead man sitting in the back of the hearse. The junkie whine had vanished from his voice now, replaced with a resigned flatness, as if the words were being broadcast from a long, long way away, dead words being sent out on a dead frequency.
Tinny eucalyptus and elemi against a flat black backdrop of opoponax.
SkekZok the Ritual Master was thought to hold control of the court entirely in his own hands. He had the ear of skekSo the Emperor, whose wishes were absolute; no one could hope for success except through skekZok. He sought to rule the other Skeksis through prophecies he invented and false apparitions he conjured. SkekZok found that the Emperor raised favorites only to enjoy the pleasure of their fall, while other distrustful Skeksis practiced their own secret divinations.
An incense of deception: frankincense, opoponax, hyssop, champaca, and opium poppy accord.

My first purchase and I am very pleased, I love the subtle coconut and the calming vevitar. I feel safe and protected wearing it.

This is so great! It really is snake oil with toasty dark coconut and vetiver that makes less intense and more earthy than snake oil. Wonderful! So glad I sprung for this bottle, and almost want to buy another for back up.

Dark, musky, sweet but not candy sugar sweet. I can definitely smell the coconut, however it isn’t that super sugary coconut. It’s more so a dry smokey type. I can smell a tad bit boozy (in bottle mostly), but it adds to the sultry darkness. I have been using it as my signature scent as of late. It is definitely yummy!

This is such a perfect blend – Snake Oil tends to be a little too erb-ish and over the top sweet on me sometimes, but the coconut, vetiver and vanilla balances out this wonderfully. Death Adder somewhat reminds me of Dragon’s Milk because of the vanilla, but it is not quite as sweet. Over all, this is a gorgeous blend that I find myself wearing all the time, and it is quickly becoming one of my most comforting scents. 10/10, would HIGHLY recommend.

This could be the one. I love the smell of Snake Oil but it’s a little too much for an every day scent for me. I was hoping to find a nice compromise among these Carnaval Snake Pit blends. This is the 4th or 5th I’ve bought (thank god Carnaval has lasted so long) and it may be the best yet. It’s got that sultry, smoky, spiciness of Snake Oil, but the coconut is really mellowing it out. I like the vetiver here, too. Much deep, chewy, earthiness. Much love.
Where I’d wear it: Would be great in the autumn, but I think it’d work on a sultry summer night, too.

Amazing! In the bottle it smells like nuts and a bit of Snak Ooil. On the skin on the other hand you can smell the coconut and vanilla blended with SO. Smells sexy and not too sweet!

Sexy, sugared, dark muskiness with the addition of a sweet, dark, dry, woody coconut and an extra helping of a sexy, dark vanilla.
