(friends list can ignore)...



STORMCLOUDS OVER THE MIDWAY-Thunder-charged ozone, plum-colored incense smoke, opium tar, and wormwood.
In bottle-I think it’s the wormwood that lends a licorice scent to this and there is a plum undertone.
On skin-dries down much prettier,I can detect ozone notes and fruit.

L'HEURE VERTE-Spilled absinthe, scorched sugar cubes, opium smoke, lilac blossoms, and rose water.
In bottle-I had high hopes for this one & it doesn’t disappoint.Rose water is the strongest note to me.
On skin-light floral sugary green.I like this.

THE GRINDHOUSE-Florentine iris, red musk, mimosa, magnolia, Damascus rose, clove, and vanilla bean.
In bottle-Interesting sweet almost ’meaty’ scent(haha).
On skin-the floral notes are faint to me,the combination almost smells slightly woody.

The Blood Garden-Blood accord, bitter clove, English ivy, Tempranillo grape, red currant, oak, leather, blackberry leaf, and ginger lily.
In bottle-grape is strong,also blood/clove.
On skin-kind of faint.Can sort of smell the ginger lily but leather,grape and blood accord prevail.

AERONWEN-Fig, dark myrrh, amber, redwood, nutmeg, tarragon, black musk, and sweet orange.
In bottle-Smells like redwood.Tall,shady majestic trees.
On skin-citrus & wood.

MARIANNE-Red musk, bergamot, black currant, mimosa, orchid, patchouli, and lotus root.
In bottle-I smell patchouli,red musk,the faintest floral notes.Slightly woody.
On skin-morphs into a lighter,more spicy floral.A little soapy.

THE BLASPHEMARE RELIQUARY-Ethiopian myrrh, Damascus rose, boswellia, galbanum, and copal.
In bottle-woodsy incense with rosy floral peeking through.
On skin-Much sweeter incense.

FAEU BOULANGER-Mushroom gases, swamp mist, green mint, and bog violet.
In bottle-I was very curious about this one.It’s actually a light minty green violet.
On skin-hard to describe but the notes manage to blend together nicely.

TABULA SMARAGDINA-Rosicrucian incense.
In bottle-exactly what it says.
On skin-woodsy incense.

SIR HUGH OCKRAM'S WINDING SHEET-Rotting linen, white sandalwood, hyssop, and dust.
In bottle-Very pretty clean linen scent(this is what I had hoped for before from Shroud).
On bottle-sandlewood & dust.

Black Phoenix-Our signature oil. A dark, languid scent. Promotes hedonistic tendencies and extreme self-love. You won't stop kissing mirrors for a month.
In bottle-i smell cherry & musk.
on skin-ohhh sexy.reminds me of Blood but lighter.
