PERFUME OIL BLENDS
Presented in an amber apothecary vial.
$5.75 – $23.00
An opiate torpor, soporific, trancelike, and sublimely languid. A poet’s morphine dream, a listless journey into a gentle dream and the precipice of intoxicated madness. Paperwhite and black narcissus, three lilies, black poppy and tuberose and a hint of hypnotic opium den haze.

The Lampades are the darkly beautiful nymphs of the underworld, also called the Lethe Nymphae Avernales. They are the daughters of the Gods that govern the many rivers of Hades. The Lampades are Hecate’s torch-bearers and accompany the Goddess on her hunts, quests and revels. Their scent is the crisp, inviting bittersweet tang of cranberry with smoky dark lilies, heady, sensual musk, a tingle of ginger and a brush of Mediterranean spices.
Amorphallus, indeed. A breathtakingly exotic, wild, and grossly erotic spicy gold, purple-black, and burgundy lily.
Vast open tents have been erected further down the lane. Ornately carved wooden poles support swaths of drooping black lace and blood-crusted burgundy velvet. Grapevines and ivy creep over the beams in the tent and curl like cocoons around bodies that hang upside-down in the caliginous gloom of the tents. Within the shadows, pale figures recline on divans covered in moldering, frayed fabric. As you pass, a feral, white-haired man hoists a tall-stemmed crystal glass of deep red liquid in a toast to you.
Blood accord, bitter clove, English ivy, Tempranillo grape, red currant, oak, leather, blackberry leaf, and ginger lily.

Very victorian. It is a very light scent. Reminds me of spring and lounging on a boat in a pond surrounded by water lilies and dragonflies. I’m not normally a big fan of flowery scents, they quickly go powdery on me but I can see myself wearing this on occasion. It is a complex scent right out of the bottle, kind of sharp, a little hard to differentiate the notes but pleasant. On the skin it calms down and you really get the lighter floral notes. Over time it fades to a lily scent. Would highly recommend if you enjoy florals. I would like a little more deeper opium to help balance it.

Really lovely. Darkly romantic. It’s so hard to get a floral scent that doesn’t remind you of powder, potpurri, or nana’s underwear drawer. I appreciate this one’s dimension, and smoky undercurrents. However, the first time I tried it, it faded to a powdery lily scent within just a couple of hours, so I’m currently debating on ordering the full bottle.

Just received this as a frimp and can’t wait to order a full bottle. This smells like it will be my perfect summer scent. While I liked it wet, it wasn’t until after the dry down that I really experienced the amazingly intoxicating scent it has. I felt transported to rowboat on a river that is surrounded by fields of flowers on a calm summer day. It’s super sexy in a very tranquil way.

Love this to relax when the sun goes down! The opium smoke blends beautifully with the sticky sweet flowers. I have issues w anxiety and this scent lulls me into a hazy, soporific state.

Based on the description, this is not a scent I would’ve ever tried out on my own. However, I received this as an imp in my last purchase. Languor is aptly named because it is intoxicating and lazy, yet extremely sexy. I foresee myself buying a full bottle when my imp runs out.

I received this as an imp earlier this week and just had the opportunity to try it out. I did not like it at all straight out of the bottle. I decided to give it a chance anyway and I’m so glad I did. It’s a lovely mix that’s kinda creamy, kinda spicy, kinda sweet. I would describe it as a “sexy floral.” The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because I do not like how it smells wet.

This both intrigues and calms the mind. The first thing to reach my nose was incense smoking making a trail for sweet white and yellow flowers following it. The narcissus sits at the center with a crown of laced incense trails and something aromatic and spicy lurks underneath, adding intrigue and slight focus. A lounging beauty. This beautiful harmony is inviting, soothing, and yet intriguing for its undertones. Languor indeed!
