Magnificent three-faced Goddess of Magic, the Dark Moon and the Crossroads. She is the Mother of Witches, and the midnight baying of hounds is her paean. Her compassion is evidenced in her role as Psychopomp for Persephone, and her wrath manifests as Medea’s revenge.
Deep, buttery almond layered over myrrh and dark musk.
An Arabic term that refers to both the chirping of nocturnal insects and the ambient sound made by the chattering of demons. This is the original title of the feared Necronomicon, the Book of Dead Names, penned by the Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred.
Nor is it to be thought that man is either the oldest or the last of earth’s masters, or that the common bulk of life and substances walks alone. The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them, They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen. Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth’s fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread. By Their smell can men sometimes know Them near, but of Their semblance can no man know, saving only in the features of those They have begotten on mankind; and of those are there many sorts, differing in likeness from man’s truest eidolon to that shape without sight or substance which is Them. They walk unseen and foul in lonely places where the Words have been spoken and the Rites howled through at their Seasons. The wind gibbers with Their voices, and the earth mutters with Their consciousness. They bend the forest and crush the city, yet may not forest or city behold the hand that smites. Kadath in the cold waste hath known Them, and what man knows Kadath? The ice desert of the South and the sunken isles of Ocean hold stones where Their seal is engraven, but who hath seen the deep frozen city or the sealed tower long garlanded with seaweed and barnacles? Great Cthulhu is Their cousin, yet can he spy Them only dimly. Iä! Shub-Niggurath! As a foulness shall ye know Them. Their hand is at your throats, yet ye see Them not; and Their habitation is even one with your guarded threshold. Yog-Sothoth is the key to the gate, whereby the spheres meet. Man rules now where They ruled once; They shall soon rule where man rules now. After summer is winter, and after winter summer. They wait patient and potent, for here shall They reign again.
A sinister, sinuous incense of summoning, a herald and paean to the Primordial Gods of Darkness, Chaos, Madness and Decay.
Malevolent, dark and shadowy: sinuous black musk, wet leather and vetiver.
Evil incarnate. Revel in your dark side with this romantically cruel scent. Contains red patchouli and vetivert.

This scent is murky, sour, brackish – in an artful, wearable way. I don’t like aquatics, but this bitter citrus (grapefruit? yuzu?) wrapped in seaweed being mashed against a barnacled rock has won my heart. In my home office, which I will evidently never be leaving, I pat on a dollop of R’lyeh when I need to feel like a Disney villain in order to get through my work day. Consider this a vote for R’lyeh in #tournamentofunderdogs.

I tried this one out because I’d never tried an aquatic before. And now, based off this one, I’m thinking aquatics are not my thing. This one did smell like a beautiful French soap in the bottle. On me, when I put it on darker notes started to come out, grounding it nicely and stopping it from being too soapy. And then…it went away. Within an hour it faded to powder on me…but sort of a strong, overpowering powder smell. Not very pleasant. As time went on, my skin chemistry added a sickly sweet undertow to the powder scent. Basically, my skin just hated this perfume.
I understand that’s not the perfume’s fault. But I was sort of so so on it even before it nosedived. Thus the two stars.

I ordered a sample R’lyeh along with some other stuff from them expecting something weird and hard to wear, I mean it’s named for Cthulhu’s undersea non-euclidean nightmare city, I opened the bottle and that is so impossibly untrue it smells like the fanciest French soap and the seaside.
Love it, amazing, gorgeous and just ever so slightly chilly but very feminine and pretty
