Eau de Ghoul Perfume Oil
Out of StockThey 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.

This is a nice blend. It is very cinnamon forward upon application, with the frankincense coming in second, while the violet lurks in the background, softening the scent slightly. The three mix well together. About halfway through the scent’s life (and this one lasts all day) it changes slightly. The frankincense comes more to the fore, mixing evenly with the cinnamon and the violet fades away. The result is a buttery spice. I think it works thematically very well with the idea of Faustus. It has a sort of black magic and decadence sort of feel.
Unfortunately, I get an allergic reaction sometimes with frankincense, and, since this perfume was a particularly spicy blend, my sinuses were not happy with me. I don’t think I can wear it, which is a shame
because I like this one. Most people probably wouldn’t have this problem, but I took a star off anyway because it is very strong and spicy and delicately nosed people might not be into it.

A difficult fragrance to pigeonhole, but alluring, nonetheless. The first notes out of the bottle are like pure cinnamon bark. On the skin, the cinnamon is more evocative of cinnamon rolls with a hint of vanilla. The cinnamon melts into the skin and the frankincense takes over, the scent of burnt resins in a incense burner. The final note of violet is very subtle and violet does not come to mind immediately, it is more like a green, grassy, powdery finish…Very nice!
