They all started telling stories, then, of how fine and wonderful a thing it was to be a ghoul, of all the things they had crunched up and swallowed down with their powerful teeth. Impervious they were to disease or illness, said one of them. Why, it didn’t matter what their dinner had died of, they could just chomp it down. They told of the places they had been, which mostly seemed to be catacombs and plague-pits (“Plague Pits is good eatin’,” said the Emperor of China, and everyone agreed.) They told Bod how they had got their names and how he, in his turn, once he had become a nameless ghoul, would be named, as they had been.
“But I don’t want to become one of you,” said Bod.
“One way or another,” said the Bishop of Bath and Wells, cheerily, “you’ll become one of us. The other way is messier, involves being digested, and you’re not really around very long to enjoy it.”
“But that’s not a good thing to talk about,” said the Emperor of China.”Best to be a Ghoul. We’re afraid of nuffink!”
And all the ghouls around the coffin-wood fire howled at this statement, and growled and sang and exclaimed at how wise they were, and how mighty, and how fine it was to be scared of nothing.
Dessicated skin coated in blackened ginger, cinnamon, and mold-flecked dirt, with cumin, bitter clove, leather, and dried blood.

I love this scent as much as I love my husband. In fact, some of our best moments are tied to this scent. I’m almost out. I need it. Like I need air. Please please please make me some more, can I have some more? I’ll eat my pudding! I will buy three if that what it takes. But I have to have it. Please don’t let me run out.

I recieved it as an imp alongside with my order and it is by far my favorite scent, It’s absolutely amazing! I know for sure that I will be getting this one in my next order.

Love this so much! Got this as an imp.
Out of the vial: very sweet like cherry syrup or bubblegum. There’s something sort of incense-like hiding in the background though, likely dragons blood.
When it dries it loses some of its cherry smell and just remains sweet and resinous. After about 5 hours it is mostly gone but if I stick my nose right to the spot that I put it on i get a different sort of cherry smell. It actually reminds me of a scented strawberry shortcake doll I had as a kid. Very interesting. I might not get a whole bottle but I will definitely enjoy my Imp 🙂
