    This scent is complex to me. Nutty and slightly boozy with the subtle tones of a smoking pipe. I think of a maiden on a pirate ship smelling like this. It’s not too sweet and spring/summery. Great for daytime wear.

  2. Claire –

    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.

  5. Gloame –

    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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Jade –

    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. 🙂

  • Obatala Perfume Oil

    The 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.

  • TOUCHED TWICE

    Touched Twice Perfume Oil

    It was long that the unicorn stood by Prince Lír before she touched him with her horn. For all that her quest had ended joyously, there was weariness in the way she held herself, and a sadness in her beauty that Molly had never seen. It suddenly seemed to her that the unicorn’s sorrow was not for Lír but for the lost girl who could not be brought back; for the Lady Amalthea, who might have lived happily ever after with the prince. The unicorn bowed her head, and her horn glanced across Lír’s chin as clumsily as a first kiss.

     

    He sat up blinking, smiling at something long ago. “Father,” he said in a quick, wondering voice. “Father, I had a dream.” Then he saw the unicorn, and he rose to his feet as the blood on his face began to shine and move again. He said, “I was dead.”

     

    The unicorn touched him a second time, over the heart, letting her horn rest there for a little space. They were both trembling. Prince Lír put his hands out to her like words. She said, “I remember you. I remember.”

     

    As delicate as life, as gentle as death, and as powerful as love: sheer, luminescent vanilla musk with frangipani, red sandalwood, frankincense, champaca flower, coconut, rose absolute, white cyclamen, Himalayan mogra, angelica, and white oud.
