Dead Blonde Perfume Oil
Add to cart“Of course young women enjoy slashers. Adolescent girls have spent their lives absorbing our cultural disgust for womanhood, only to find themselves thrust into the middle of it, suddenly the butt of every joke. Their underlying anxieties are hit with a toxic sludge of predatory attention, sexual objectification, and impossible standards, growing to fifty times their natural size. It is not easy to become a monster. It is not fun to slip – suddenly and for the rest of your life – out of humanity and into womanhood. Girls are left reckoning with the fact that their social status, their human value, even their basic survival, are all suddenly contingent on men. Thus, at the exact moment they’re beginning to have sex and enter romantic relationships, girls watch stories in which a moment’s lapse in judgment, or a single instance of giving in to temptation, results and agony and annihilation – not because that’s what they want, but because it’s already happening, and they have precious few other ways to process it.”
A wilting corsage of tea roses and white roses, bearing forensic traces of honeyed lip gloss and coconut oil suntan lotion.

A Flaming Sword Perfume Oil
Out of StockThey sat in embarrassed silence, watching the raindrops bruise the first flowers.
Eventually Crawly said, “Didn’t you have a flaming sword?”
“Er,” said the angel. A guilty expression passed across his face, and then came back and camped there.
“You did, didn’t you?” said Crawly. “It flamed like anything.”
“Er, well-”
“It looked very impressive, I thought.”
“Yes, but, well-”
“Lost it, have you?”
“Oh no! No, not exactly lost, more-”
“Well?”
Aziraphale looked wretched. “If you must know,” he said, a trifle testily, “I gave it away.”
Crawly stared up at him.
“Well, I had to,” said the angel, rubbing his hands distractedly. “They looked so cold, poor things, and she’s expecting already, and what with the vicious animals out there and the storm coming up I thought, well, where’s the harm, so I just said, look, if you come back there’s going to be an almighty row, but you might be needing this sword, so here it is, don’t bother to thank me, just do everyone a big favor and don’t let the sun go down on you here.”
Fiery red amber and sweet oudh, flickers of honeyed patchouli and red musk, pale white coconut flecks, and crushed peppercorn.

Obatala Perfume Oil
Select Options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageThe King of the White Cloth, King of the Orishas, the First Among Equals. He is the King of Power, and his weapon is wisdom. He is the essence of honored maturity, wisdom through age and experience, purity of intention, virtue, humility, tolerance, judicious use of power, the knowledge of what is truly right and wrong, the moral code, and the obligation to do what is right. Obatala is the Creator God, who first fashioned mankind from clay; thus, he is also the first sculptor and potter. The human head itself is Obatala’s creation, and it is through it that he grants us the ability to discern genuine morality as opposed to oppressive, mistaken and arrogant self-righteousness. His is not the falsehood of societal boundaries, His Truth is the understanding of one’s own character and the obligations that we all have to our world, our Gods, and one another. He is the Benevolent Judge, calm and lucid, and he governs rational deliberation. His color is white, as His spirit is free from any soil or stain, and His energy radiates sanctified purity, great wisdom, happiness and internal peace. He is associated with cloth, as that was one of His gifts to mankind. The aspects of Obatala are symbolized by the chameleon, boa constrictor, elephant, gorilla, and snail. Obatala is the Lord of Laughter, for it is through wisdom that one may see the joy in life, and through laughter we are able to see the follies of mankind not with cynicism and derision, but with humor, compassion and understanding. Obatala’s Laughter helps soothe the pain of life’s rigors, and takes the sting out of the harshest of life’s lessons. Obatala’s ofrenda is soft, white and pure: milk, coconut meat, shea butter and cool, refreshing water.

This is a nice scent and basically matches exactly what it says it’s going to be. I can smell coconut predominantly followed by the other scents listed. It’s a warm scent. I can actually see how it’s similar to Miskatonic, actually as another reviewer pointed out, except neither of these ever smelled like parchment or old books to me, but very much like food.

This smells nice, but it is VERY, VERY similar to Miskatonic University imo. (Actually, nearly indistinguishable, which is strange because they apparently have different notes) Just like Miskatonic, the heady, creamy foodie scent dries down to an old book smell. I smell NO coconut whatsoever, in any stage of wear, and I’ve worn this 3 times since purchasing. The rum is pleasant, not overpowering, and stays until the end when it is coupled with the old book scent. I smell NO true tobacco either. A twin scent to Miskatonic. A pretty scent but I’m not crazy about it.

Sunny & warm.

Top notes: omgosh vanilla sugar. But it mellows really quickly and then it’s a lovely, smooth, sugared tobacco. I’m struggling to pick up the rum note. Maybe I should drink it more often to be better familiarized to it.
Caribbean, sunny, warm. Love it.

Right off initial application, the rum is quite strong to me, a sharp note that I don’t entirely enjoy. The scent mellows out after a few minutes, though, into a softer, coconutty perfume with a background note of vanilla-y, kind of fruity or lily-like (might be the tobacco?) something. I don’t dislike it, but I’m not really fond of it, either.

I received this as a freebie with an order of imps, and it became my favorite out of everything I got!
It is a very sweet scent, but it also has a lovely warmth to it that rounds it out and keeps it from getting that weird tang that cheap overly sweet commercial perfumes tend to have.
Bimini –
I love the sweetness of this scent!
A sweet, buttered, almost-almondy rum is what came to my mind upon application. The rum never expressed itself in a “boozy” way; it’s more akin to rum-flavored bakery. The coconut and tobacco became clearer as it dried, and the two pair together quite well.
The loa would be pleased with this scent.
Luca Turin –
Sugar, rum, coconut and tobacco, in that order, are all very obvious and up front in Elegba. This would be a top notch oil for dressing candles for a Santaria ritual but for me, it is far too sweet to wear. There are really no subtleties to comment on for there is nothing subtle about it. What you see in the description is exactly what you smell with the sugar and rum coming first.

If you love sweet scents, this might be one for you!
The sweet rum, followed by coconut, comes across the clearest, with just a hint of a sharpness to the scent to keep it from becoming the bitter sugar sweetness that I’ve found in some commercially made sweet perfumes.
Definitely speaks (vs. screaming. 😉 ) in rich ‘warm night with a sultry breeze’ sort of tropical tones. Or a coconut cookie, in a less poetic description. 🙂
