| Bewitching Brews | ||||||
| ABSINTHE | An intoxicating blend containing wormwood essence, light mints, cardamom, anise, hyssop, and the barest hint of lemon. (minty-anise, sort of candy-like) | |||||
| AEVAL | A judicious yet powerfully sensual blend, a mingling of justice and sexuality: sage, sweet pea, bold pale musk and warm tonka. (light floral) | |||||
| ANNE BONNY | A blend of Indonesian red patchouli, red sandalwood, and frankincense. Wet, this was a blast of dry woods... very much patchouli & sandalwood. Mmm pencil-shaving-licous. |
|||||
| ANTIQUE LACE | Nostalgia encapsulated. A soft, wistful blend of dry flowers, aged linens, and the faint breath of long-faded perfumes. review In the bottle, the oil smells clean. Like freshly washed skin. |
10mL | ||||
| ARACHNE | A gossamer scent, as light as a spiders footfall, touched with sighing mists: pallid flowers, dusty woods and soft herbs. | |||||
| ARCANA | Frankincense, rosemary, lavender, neroli, and verbena. (interesting blend, not heavy at all, rich, slightly citrus/tangy) | |||||
| AUREUS | True, perfect golden light, refined into an incomparably glorious scent. | |||||
| BELLE ÉPOQUE | Sweet opium, Lily of the Valley, vanilla, mandarin and red sandalwood. | |||||
| BESS | Inspired by the tragic, ill-fated love of Queen Elizabeth I and the Earl of Leicester. This is our modernization of a 17th-century perfume blend favored by British aristocracy: rosemary, orange flower, grape spirit, five rose variants, lemon peel, and mint. review I got an imp of this, thinking that I'd like it, but I was worried it would be too similar to Catherine, of which I already have a 10mL bottle. |
5mL | ||||
| BEWITCHED | Blackberry, sage, green tea, wild berries and dark musk. (berry juice) | x |
||||
| BLACK FOREST | Thick, viscous pine with ambergris, black musk, juniper and cypress. | |||||
| BLACK OPAL | A play of geological darkness and jagged brilliance. Soft and luminescent with flashes of black fire. review This is a hard one to describe. |
x | ||||
| BLACK PEARL | Coconut, Florentine iris, hazelnut and opalescent white musk. (reviewed; coconut fades fast, too much iris) review | > | ||||
| BLACK TOWER | A sepulchral, desolate scent. Long-dead soldiers, oath-bound; the perfume of their armor, the chill wind that surges through their tower, white bone and blackened steel: white sandalwood, ambergris, wet ozone, galbanum and leather with ebony, teak, burnt grasses, English ivy and a hint of red wine. review This is an unusual one. |
x | ||||
| BLISS | the serotonin-slathered scent of pure milk chocolate. review This smells like hot chocolate. Nothing funky or weird or morphing with this one. It's yum. |
5mL | ||||
| BLOOD | Essence of dragon's blood resin, thickened with myrrh and cherry, with a trickle of clove. review Wet: very obvious & strong dragon's blood. It's very sickly sweet. Initial dry: the cherry comes out to play, taking over as the main component; juicy & wet & sweet. there's a tiny bit of a metallic tang to it, and the dragon's blood moves to the background. dry: metallic cherry. i really like bpal's cherry note, so this is happy-making. i almost never pick up on the clove note in bpal blends, and this scent is no exception. hours & hours later: the cherry has faded, there's a bit of the resiny dragon's blood & myrrh, but they're faint and not overpoweringly sweet. |
|||||
| BLOOD AMBER | Slivers of warm, pulsating blood forever crystallized in golden amber resin. (surprisingly soft) | x | ||||
| BLOOD KISS | Lush, creamy vanilla and the honey of the sweetest kiss smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk. vetiver kills this for me. =( review | |||||
| BLOOD PEARL | Lustrous, sanguine, soft and lavish: soft orris, blood musk, and coconut. (less cloying than black pearl; warmer, sweet) review | 5mL | ||||
| BON VIVANT | An effervescent blend of crystalline champagne notes and sweet strawberry. smells exactly like description; sweet |
|||||
| BRIMSTONE | A smoky, gritty blend, husky and gray. (smokey) | |||||
| CATHODE | Ambergris, Spanish Moss, oakmoss and three electric mints. (soft mint) | |||||
| CHIMERA | The fiery, volatile scent of cinnamon, thickened by myrrh, honeysuckle, and copal. (spicy cinnamon & sweet) | |||||
| THE COILED SERPENT | A potent yogic oil that stimulates the kundalini, provokes spiritual awakening, and releases the energy seated in your root chakra. (patchouli) | |||||
| DANA O'SHEE | Offerings of milk, honey and sweet grains were made to placate these creatures, and it is that the basis of the scent created in their name. |

| DEE | John Dee: master of science, alchemy and magic, Hermetic philosopher in the schools of Rosicrucian Christian Mysticism and Platonic-Pythagorean doctrine, and Queen Elizabeth’s astrologer, advisor, cryptologist and spy. With Edward Kelly, he created a field of study and work in Angelic Evocation, and isolated the Angelic language: Enochian. His scent is soft English leather, rosewood and tonka with a hint of incense, parchment and soft woods. soft, woodsy, slightly sweet, just a hint of leather & incense... amazing! review | 5mL | ||||
| DELIRIUM | Contains apple, rose, and lemon. | |||||
| ECLIPSE | A delicious blend of bitter almond, vanilla, frankincense and heliotrope, with a drop of cinnamon. | |||||
| EMPYREAL MIST | A hazy, soft, veiled scent: mist floating through twilit skies, curling gently towards the heavens. (sweet, muget & pear?- slighly aquatic) | |||||
| EPHEMERA | The scent of loss, love and the echo of time without end: sorrowful violet and chamomile with muguet, white geranium, calla lily and tea rose with a hint of autumn leaves. | |||||
| FAE | white musk, bergamot, heliotrope, peach and oakmoss. (reminiscent of dorian) | |||||
| GRAND GUIGNOL | Our Grand Guignol perfume is a shot of sweet apricot brandy; just enough to settle your nerves after a ghoulish, gory brush with the macabre. review This is one of those scents that just doesn't change much on my skin all day, other than fading over the course of several hours. |
x | ||||
| GROG | This be the scent of pirate rum! (v. boozy, taffy note?) | |||||
| HAMADRYAD | Seven dry woods with mossy lichen and a gentle breeze of forest flowers. I'm another that got wintergreen! |
x | ||||
| THE HESPERIDES | Their perfume is that of sturdy oak bark, dew-kissed leaves, twilight mist and crisp apple. | |||||
| HIGHWAYMAN | Vetiver with gardenia, blood red rose, night-blooming jasmine, a dash of cinnamon and a faint hint of leather. | HYMN TO PROSERPINE | Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath; We have drunken of things Lethean, and fed on the fullness of death. The darkening amber of faith’s sunset, deepened by the dark fruits of Proserpine. | 5mL | ||
| I DIED FOR BEAUTY | The Venusian splendor of ylang ylang and violet stirred by hyssop, frankincense, and grave loam. | |||||
| INCANTATION | vetiver, dark woods, crumbling and burnt black sandalwood and a drop of lemon rind. (smells a LOT better in the vial than i thought it would) | |||||
| INTRIGUE | Black palm, with cocoa, fig and shadowy wooded notes. This reminds me a LOT of Cerberus. Yum, Cerberus. |
x | ||||
| JACK | The scent of warm, glowing jack o'lanterns on a warm autumn night: true Halloween pumpkin, spiced with nutmeg, glowing peach and murky clove. (warm & buttery smelling; delicious!) | 5mL | ||||
| THE JERSEY DEVIL | The scent of the wild, hauntingly beautiful Pine Barrens of New Jersey! Pitch pine with blackberry leaf, cranberry, cedar wood and tomato leaf. | |||||
| JOLLY ROGER | Sea spray with an undercurrent of leather, Bay Rum, and salty, dry woods. | x | ||||
| JUKE JOINT | A bawdy, gleefully wicked and unruly scent: Kentucky Bourbon, sugar and a sprig of mint. (nice; sweet with light mint note; smells vaguely sandalwoody) | x | ||||
| LA BELLA DONNA DELLA MIA MENTE | Soft, lush myrtle and dry, sweet melilot with wild rose, pomegranate juice and peach blossom against a background of deep aquatic notes and a twirl of melancholy autumn breezes. | |||||
| LA BELLE DAME SANS MERCI | A bewitching, seductive scent, rife with mystery and foreboding. | |||||
| LAMPADES | 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. (patchouli-ish/musk with sweet fruity tang) | x | ||||
| LEANAN SIDHE | Her perfume is a crush of Irish herbs and flowers, Gaelic mists, and nighttime dew. (perfumey, but light) | |||||
| LIGHTNING | The electric tang of ozone, marine notes, and a drop of sharp rain. (ozoney, air freshener-ish, electrictiy) | |||||
| LURID | Shocking, horrific, fierce, savage, sensationalized, luminous and hazy: black currant, Bulgarian lavender and white musk with a dollop of thick resin and a voltaic charge of ozone notes. review I am in total love. I ordered an imp of this because I was insanely curious, but didn't want to dive into a 5mL. Ozone notes tend to go really bad air-freshener on me. |
5mL | ||||
| MAGUS | galangal, high john essence, frankincense, cedar, and sandalwood. (a little heavy on the cedar initially, but nice) | |||||
| MASQUERADE | Patchouli, ambergris, carnation and orange blossom. | |||||

| NAMASTE | Sandalwood, jasmine, rose, patchouli, cedarwood and lemongrass. (lemongrass adds a nice sharpness to sandalwood) | |||||
| ODE ON MELANCHOLY | Beauty, joy, pleasure and delight: devastated. This is the scent of the hopelessness, torment and despair of love. Lavender and wisteria, heart-wrenching pale rose, desolate white sandalwood and thin, tear-streaked white musk. | |||||
| OMEN | oakmoss, juniper berry, myrrh and patchouli. | x | ||||
| OUIJA | rosewood, oak and teak notes with wispy blue lilac, tea rose, dried white rose and ethereal osmanthus. | |||||
| OZYMANDIAS | Dry desert air, dry and hot, passing over crumbling stone megaliths and plundered golden monuments, bearing a hint of the incense of lost Gods on its winds. | |||||
| PENNY DREADFUL | Soft perfume evocative of noir heroines over rich red grave loam. I didn't want to dive into a full bottle of this, since I have Alone for spicydirt, Zombi for flowerdirt, and Graveyard Dirt for dirtydirt. Perfumey dirt? I am not so sure, so imp for me. In the vial, it's a weak earthy scent. |
|||||
| PHANTASM | Green tea, lemon verbena, jasmine and neroli. (bright citrus note) | |||||
| RAKSHASA | Sandalwood with rose and patchouli. (spicy) | |||||
| THE RAVEN | Violet and neroli mingled with iris, white sandalwood and dark musk. (violet soft & pretty; but iris might kill this for me) |

| SCARECROW | The scent of a hot wind blowing through desolate, scorched, barren fields. | |||||

| SHATTERED | A blend of white champagne notes, grapefruit, lotus, slivered mint and crystalline aquatic blooms. | |||||
| SUDHA SEGARA | Sweet milk and warm, healing ginger with a touch of golden honey and our blend of Ambrosia. (yummy sweet mlky something else very familiar, too light & fainty for me, sadly) review | |||||
| SWANK | the scent of a crisp pomegranate martini. (bright fruit note) | |||||
| THE TAVERN OF HELL | White gardenia, ambergris bouquet, lavender fougere, orange blossom, melissa, tobacco flower, coriander, ebony wood, ylang ylang, absinthe and aged whiskey. | |||||
| TEMPEST | The scent of the first gentle rain before the storm. (wet outside smell) | |||||
| TUSHNAMATAY | the perfected meditation blend. (sandalwoody heaven; very soft & pretty)) | |||||
| TWENTY-ONE | A tribute to New Yorks 21 Club on West 52nd, formerly the speakeasy Jack & Charlies Puncheon Club. This is the scent of the perfect martini. | 5mL | ||||
| ULALUME | Starry white lilies lend an eerie brightness to the deep black wooded scents of cypress and oak, layered with a touch of crushed dried leaves and the faintest aquatic note. | |||||
| ULTRAVIOLET | Lush violet and neroli spiked hard with eucalyptus and a sliver of mint. (very medicinal then minty initially then neroli & violet come out, ends up with soft violet) |
x | ||||
| UMBRA | East African black patchouli, cedarwood, vetiver and a dribble of cinnamon. | |||||
| VEIL | White sandalwood, lilac, gardenia, violet, orris, lavender and ylang ylang. (hellooooo flowers; might end up being cloying; overwhelming intial note of lavender) | |||||

| VOODOO | A deep, powerful, resonant blend of myrrh, patchouli, vetiver, lime, vanilla, pine, almond and clove. (nice at first then evil vetiver takes over) review | |||||
| WILDE | A sophisticated traditional gentleman's cologne, with just the slightest taint of patchouli's passion, tonka bean's decadence, the philanthropy of bergamot, moss' cynicism, the sharp wit of lavender, and the hopeless romantic longing of jasmine and thyme. (wow! manly but i could totally rock this! clean scent with nice citrus interspersed with floral/herbal notes. dead sexy) | |||||
| YGGDRASIL | Nine woods, nine leaves, and three herbs each for Ratatosk and Vidofnir, with three final herbs to placate Nidhogg. (sweet herbs & wood) review | 5mL | ||||
