A colorless woman bursts from an elaborate gold and ruby tent and faints dead at your feet. Soft laughter emits from the dark entrance to the tent, and the scent of musk, black fruits and incense touches your senses. Looking up, you see that the sign hovering above the unconscious woman is adorned with images of the Major Arcana’s Tower and reads:
“Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller.
No fate too grim, no future too bleak.”
A tiny woman with floor-length black dreadlocks walks out of the tent, stepping over the prone body. She is clothed in deep red wrappings, and is bedecked in golden ornaments bearing alchemical symbols and charms representing eternity, chance, and wisdom. She pauses, looks you over slowly, and then flicks a tarot card at your feet.
Red musk, vanilla bean, pomegranate, black currant, patchouli leaf and wild plum.

On me it’s just sugared plums… unfortunately this one is too gourmand for my taste. But I love love the concept!

Generally a low throw scent for me, the sandalwood stands out most while the rest of the notes generally add a sweetness.

This was an incredible scent. The incense smell is certainly the main focus here, the note which lingers the most in all phases, but the plum and lavender rise and fall between that more powerful scent so that the sandalwood doesn’t overpower. It’s rich, but it has that lingering soft sweetness from the florals. I feel incredibly powerful wearing this. It makes me feel like I’m in a dark room with heavy curtains.

This isn’t quite what I was expecting. It reminds me of champa a little bit but with more of a food quality. A nice enough scent but not for me.

This scent truly fits the name. It is soft and centering with a deepness to it that conjures images of the underdark (but in a nice way). It invokes a scene of a tranquil cave lined with hanging flowers and greenery, the sound of dripping water, and a glowing censer of incense prepared for your next yoga practice. I love it!

I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful the smell is! I can’t wait to wear this everywhere.
