“What’s this Crowley like?” said Ligur.
Hastur spat. “He’s been up here too long,” he said. “Right from the Start. Gone native, if you ask me. Drives a car with a telephone in it.”
Ligur pondered this. Like most demons, he had a very limited grasp of technology, and so he was just about to say something like, I bet it needs a lot of wire, when the Bentley rolled to a halt at the cemetery gate.
Dry olibanum, black moss, soggy ti, khus, and opoponax.
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.
The Misericordia, or Tristis, are vampires that are consumed with a longing to regain their lost humanity, some to the point of being driven mad by the desire to be human once more. The shock of their transition into vampirism and the rejection they faced from friends and loved ones was devastating, and it compromises their ability to find solace and comfort. Unlike the Transeo, Misericordia cannot merge into human society, but are relegated by their own grief to the position of outsiders. Their inherent melancholy and morose temperaments make it difficult for them to cultivate relationships with either humans or vampires. Most vampires treat the Misericordia with a fair amount of derision, and they are sometimes hunted by Interfectors who see the perspective of the Misericordia as an affront to their way of thinking.
Eons of grief and unending hunger: magnolia, black currant, castoreum accord, lavender, labdanum, amber, rose otto, and opoponax.
“So. I got to say it, because nobody else here will. We are at the center of this place: a land that has no time for gods, and here at the center it has less time for us than anywhere. It is a no-man’s-land, a place of truce, and we observe our truces, here. We have no choice. So. You give us the body of our friend. We accept it. You will pay for this, murder for murder, blood for blood.”
Black oudh, patchouli, opoponax, black pepper, and blackened cacao.

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.
