The raw, untamable power of chaos. Rosewood, amber, red musk and a dribble of red sandalwood.
They call me Troll;
Gnawer of the Moon,
Giant of the Gale-blasts,
Curse of the rain-hall,
Companion of the Sibyl,
Nightroaming hag,
Swallower of the loaf of heaven.
What is a Troll but that?
A lurching, hateful, bitter scent. This is a gruesome blend of ghastly greens and blacks: vetiver, pine pitch, troll musk, black basil, clove smoke, and scorched cumin.
An ancient, free-willed race created from the essence of Fire, much as man was created from Earth. They prowled the land at night, vanishing with the first rays of dawn. Myths surrounding the Djinn paint them as many things: benevolent champions of mankind and slaves to mad sorcerers, malicious incubi / succubi and energy vampires, or malevolent harbingers of madness and disease. The Djinn are ruled by Iblis, the Prince of Darkness, who bears unspeakable contempt for man.
The scent of black smoke, of crackling flames, and smoldering ashes.
Nine-tailed fox demon of Korean lore who transforms into the visage of an irresistible beauty in order to seduce men and lead them to their doom.
A sharp, biting blend of crisp white tea and ginger.

This is one of my favourite summer scents. While wet it smells strongly of dirt and dust. For me, it calls to mind an indoor riding arena, the underside of a bridge, or a lakeshore beach parking lot, in a really nice way. After drying down it becomes a little sweeter and less dusty, with hints of toasted marshmallow and unlit cigar. It makes me think of teenage adventures on long summer evenings, lighting fires where you probably shouldn’t be.

It does make me feel a little naughty when I put it on, like I want to shrink down and put on a vest and a little cap and sneak around, eat all of the cereal, hide socks, and annoy cats. I’m normally not a fan of coconut but this is continuing to grow on me. It smells of very sweet milky coconut (almost caramel) out of the bottle with a dark cunning undertone. It wasn’t what I expected but I am pleasantly surprised. Honestly kind of hated it the first time I smelt it but now I keep returning to the scent. The burning leaves description is a good way to put the patchouli notes. On my skin it smells like sweet caramel coconut and dirt. It didn’t last very long on me though. I’m very excited to see how this ages.

When I first bought Goblin I absolutely hated it in the bottle. But, after it sat untouched for a year or so, I took a chance and wore it. Oh my god. Everything changed. Worn, it’s warm and spicy, but not heavy. It sinks in and gets better with time. It is now one of my go-to fragrances, along with Nasty Woman.

Warm,sweet coconut milk, incense, burning leaves are the scents I detect. Love it!

Does not work for me AT ALL. It smells like a very bitter herbal medicine concoction, actually rather similar to one that I sometimes take and have to hold my nose to drink. I’m sure it’s a body chemistry thing, but this is definitely not something I enjoyed smelling like. Looks like it works really well for lots of other people, though!

Smelled almost garbage-y at first but is really awesome when it dries! Burning tobacco leaves, sudden betony, and some other dark-corner-in-a-strange-city scent. Sort of smug and unkind, so very well-named.

I am a big fan of warm wood scents and this one’s got it. A little tobacco-y, actually, perhaps in the way the benzoin mixes with the patchouli. Very lovely.
Unisex, woody.

I’ve always loved sweet patchouli scents, and this is one of my favorites. This is the kind of patchouli that settles right into my skin and just becomes me: not too herbal, not metalic or “stinky”. The bezoin is rich and vanillic, slightly spicy like a high quality Mexican vanilla bean. The black coconut adds another element of dark richness without taking over. It’s like the best coconut incense that doesn’t even exist. It’s your skin at the end of a sexy night on a tropical island. It’s so deep, earth, and grounding, and gets even smoother with age, so just go ahead and buy 2 bottles!
