Dana O’Shee Perfume Oil
Select Options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageIn Irish folklore the Dana O’Shee are a fae, elven people that live in a realm of beauty, their nobility akin to our that own Age of Chivalry, eternally beautiful and eternally young. They surround themselves with the pleasures of the Arts, they live for the hunt, and to this day can be seen riding in procession through the Irish countryside at twilight, led by their King and Queen. However, the Dana O’Shee are not benevolent creatures, despite what their unearthly beauty may imply. They are vengeful and treacherous and possess a streak of mischievous malice, and many have whispered that their true home lies deep in the shadowed groves of the Realm of the Dead. Hearing even a single chord of their otherworldly music leaves one stunned and lost to the mortal realms for ever, finding themselves prey to the Dana O’Shee’s hunt or enslaved in their Court as servants or playthings.
Offerings of milk, honey and sweet grains were made to placate these creatures, and it is that the basis of the scent created in their name.

Very Very Very Sweet. The cinnamon notes are strong to start off with, but the honeysuckle rapidly rises to conquer all, with the spices scattered beneath. Lasts for a good long wile, all throughout my workday.

Out of all the imp’s I have tried from this store this one is my favorite. It does smell strongly of cinnamon so if you like cinnamon you will love this. I loved the smell of it out of the bottle but, it only got better with time.

Got this as a sample.
Not as “fiery” as the description entails on me: the cinnamon is definitely there, but it’s soft & not overpowering (which I appreciate).
Scent reminds me of that peanut & sesame brittle candy you get on Chinese New Year, but much more aromatic: think brown sugar + milk.

Ahh so lovely! Not too cinnamon-y, which is a good thing for me. It’s very soft—an undercurrent. Not nearly as strong as I would’ve expected, and I wonder if the formula’s been changed because others are saying it’s very cinnamon. To me, the honeysuckle is forward, followed by copal and myrrh. I really love this. It smells sweet and innocent.
Where I’d wear it: A girl’s birthday party

For what it’s worth, I didn’t have to age mine. It was cinnamon buns right out of the bottle. A very good foody scent.

Age it! Age them all! This one especially. I tried aging it a couple months and still couldn’t stand it. I forgot about it for another nine months, and voila! Creamy, luscious spice.

Wow this is powerful stuff! It actually has some staying power in me in my dry desert climate, too. Very fiery, but still sweet. I’m getting the big bottle.

This came as a freebie with my order; I didn’t try it right away and then forgot about it, so it’s had time to age for a good while. As it is now, it’s a warm, spicy scent, with a slight sweetness and dominant cinnamon and cherry notes. I like it, but it fades super fast on me, so that lowers the rating a bit. For fans of foody, spicy scents, though, I can see this be a potential favorite.

Oh wow, is this good. This was a sample that came with my order and I am glad that it did. It might be my favorite of the group. Like the description says it is a strong cinnamon smell, but really deepened by the myrrh. The spice out of the bottle hit me right away, but on the skin it’s more mellow and smooth. Foody smells work well with my chemistry so it’s perfect.

This oil smells absolutely delicious. Like cinnamon buns. Delicious warm cinnamon buns.
The first time I tried it on, it did smell a bit soapy, but I let it age for a couple of months, and that’s completely gone now. One of my top 5 favorites.

A definite gourmand or foody oil, Chimera stays true to it’s name as it likes to morph.
At very first, immediately after purchase the myrrh is stupendously overwhelming both in the bottle and on skin, completely blanketing the other notes. I thought this was another “miss” but the internet saved me from making a big mistake:
IF YOUR CHIMERA SMELLS GHASTLY, AGE YOUR BOTTLE.
Trust me. I put my imp of “nasty old-lady musk” away in a dark box for a little more than 6weeks (some recommendations suggest even 6months) and when it came out for the sniff test again it had transformed into a deliciously warm cinnamon-y almost creamy, vanilla-y scent. Like holiday baking in a bottle. Yum.
This is now one of my favourite perfume oils, it’s a shame to think I would have missed it if I had traded the imp or simply discarded it after the first test.
