The Cicuta, also called the Rictus, are least likely to be accepted by human society, and are, sadly, also the least likely to be accepted by other vampires in general. Some vampires have a peculiar adverse reaction to the transference of the vampiric pathogen whereby their physical appearance is drastically altered: They lose their hair, their features become elongated, their eyes protrude, and a permanent and irreversible inflammation of their joints causes stiff movement and a clawlike rigidity in the hands and feet. Cicuta minds function as any other vampire’s, but their appearance is so startlingly different that they find it almost impossible to find any acceptance whatsoever among humans or vampires. Usually these afflicted vampires choose to live in isolation, either on secluded estates or literally underground. Occasionally, small groups of Cicutas can be found cohabitating, finding comfort and companionship with those that share their condition. The Cicuta were parodied somewhat in F. W. Murnau’s 1922 film Nosferatu.

Total comfort.

My first DnD character ever was a tiefling warlock (in desperate need of a therapist). Ironically, I AM a therapist in real life so when I saw this perfume oil I took the plunge to make my first BPAL order! This oil is divine. It has the comforting and soft earthy notes that feel like someone who is caring and grounded. But it also has an intensity to it from the incense notes that are warm and strong as well. It perfectly captures the name and I love how it smells on me! So glad I jumped in for the full size!
