The Limited Edition Undead Tomb ~
Nocturne Alchemy:
FULL - Jack's Halloween Oudh (only 75 bottles) ~ NAVA ICON Oudh of Vanilla Samar infused Agarwood, nuances of pumpkin spice: Hungarian Cardamom, Romanian White Cinnamon, Egyptian Nutmeg Whole, Pumpkin Flesh and smoke from a warm pumpkin patch.
31 Pumpkin Library:
Number 7 ~ Amber Pumpkin perfumed with 7 rich exotic Amber notes to create the ultimate Amber perfume base for this Pumpkin infused scent. Spices of fig and raw pumpkin swim in a vat of decadent Sandalwood.
Number 13 ~ Fresh Pumpkin Pie doused with Cotton Candy, Soft Pumpkin Pie Spices and Crystalline Vanilla SL (Egyptian Vanilla Orchid stigma Resin).
FULL - Number 31 ~ Deep dark and rich black pumpkin puree, caramelized caramel, pie spice, rum, French Vanilla, and Osirian Purnima Incense Accord.
NAVAlloween Velvet:
Black Velvet ~ A black amber accord that writhes within our Velvet* blend making way for a sensual black velvet under the stars absorbing all light. A soft tincture of Ozymandias Black Accord swirls throughout (unreleased). *NAVAlloween Velvet: Using one of our favorite perfumes, Eternal Ankh and focusing the attention on subtlety, we started fresh and wove our way into a plume of velvet cavalcade. Haunted ghost-like Jasmine, vespers of Vanilla bean, soporific musk all weave the scent of Eternal Ankh Vanilla Absolute (note not the other components of Eternal Ankh, only the vanilla that makes E Ankh what it is), only the haunting notes and then by adding specific blend techniques the main caricature personifies each of the velvets. Dusty, sensual and haunted.
FULL - Ghost Velvet ~ Our velvet* blend with the utterly beautiful accord of our SL Crystalline (Egyptian Vanilla Orchid stigma Resin). Thick, rapturous vanilla velvet blanket for a ghost to keep warm in the dead of night or as a cozy blanket of velvet scent. *NAVAlloween Velvet: Using one of our favorite perfumes, Eternal Ankh and focusing the attention on subtlety, we started fresh and wove our way into a plume of velvet cavalcade. Haunted ghost-like Jasmine, vespers of Vanilla bean, soporific musk all weave the scent of Eternal Ankh Vanilla Absolute (note not the other components of Eternal Ankh, only the vanilla that makes E Ankh what it is), only the haunting notes and then by adding specific blend techniques the main caricature personifies each of the velvets. Dusty, sensual and haunted.
Kashmir Velvet ~ Our velvet* blended eerily into the phantasm of red musk in our SL Kashmir. Nuances of blue Frankincense lie underneath pulsing with Blood Musk. *NAVAlloween Velvet: Using one of our favorite perfumes, Eternal Ankh and focusing the attention on subtlety, we started fresh and wove our way into a plume of velvet cavalcade. Haunted ghost-like Jasmine, vespers of Vanilla bean, soporific musk all weave the scent of Eternal Ankh Vanilla Absolute (note not the other components of Eternal Ankh, only the vanilla that makes E Ankh what it is), only the haunting notes and then by adding specific blend techniques the main caricature personifies each of the velvets. Dusty, sensual and haunted.
The Dead Collection:
Blessed Water ~ Black Bavarian Cucumber Water Accord, Hungarian Peppermint EO, Blessed Romanian Water (by a Vampire, of course) and fresh Spring Water Accords with a touch of Werewolf Leather and Romanian Labdanum.
Cemetery Ivy ~ Green Ivy that has taken over the cemetery overnight and has woven its vines of Ivy throughout, over headstones, broken into gravestones and shot its vines through to the coffin and fed on the decaying body within. Fresh and vibrant Cemetery Ivy with nuances of loam, wisteria and honeysuckle create an atmosphere of bliss and desolation with a touch of Bastet Amber whispering underneath the ivy.
Dracula’s Castle ~ A masculine Vampire perfume of Tobacco, Aromatic Transylvanian Bergamot, Black Nutmeg with nuances of the Black Forest and sweet Vampire kisses of Crystalline Absolute (Egyptian Vanilla Orchid stigma Resin) and a smattering of Juniper Bat Berry. A soft whisper through the halls of amber essence and wood billows.
Graveyard Dirt ~ Miasma accords of fresh rain and Graveyard Dirt, loam and sweet woods billow beneath but the star of this perfume is the dirt freshly sweetened and unearthed as the Vampire climbs free from her coffin and makes her way toward Dracula’s Castle.
Vamp ~ Cherry-vanilla blood accord, blood orange, West Indian lime zest, hints of black cherry incense and a drop of Kashmir (Blood Red Musk) and West Indian Red Musk Accord.
Vampire Coffin ~ Rare Black Romanian Mint mingled into a cedar perfumed coffin, scent of putrid Vampire’s breath and wet Earth, loam and decay. A scent like a fog that rises and falls over the great cemetery below the Castle.
Vampire Wine:
Cabernet Sauvignon ~ A perfume reminiscent of sweet wine with hints of strawberry and sweet grape and not so much the tannin or alcohol, so if you prefer something less wine and more grape, this is for you.
Kashmir Chianti ~ This one has a very subtle incense note applied to the blend that binds with the not-so-subtle Kashmir of our SL Kashmir (Blood Red Musk). The concept was expanded upon by creating a special blend of fine Chianti wine notes and our deep dark and rich Kashmir SL. What is created is a haunting scent both dark and delicious, decadent and daring. Black Grape flesh was used in this perfume as well as notes from dried cinnamon wood and deep red incense.
FULL - Merlot ~ Merlot grapes with hints of black plum, black cherry, black raspberry and red apple flesh, this wine is a perfume sentient for reading in the library from Stoker, Shelley or Ms. Rice.
FULL - Shiraz ~ Drawing from notes like rich plum, boisterous blackberry and hints of pepper, the wine is more of a spice wine but done so subtle that the spice is not the focal but the very nature of the robust Shiraz grapes.
White Zinfandel ~ With notes like red raspberry, rose petal, red currant and ripe strawberry, this decadent white wine is full of subtle notes that encompass the very soft palette of the fruit in this dry White Zinfandel grape.
Nocturne Alchemy / VApothecary RESURGENCE:
Made in small batches & very limited. The main ingredients were amped and the most beautiful components were given more oomph.
NA Ghost Ship ~ Pirate Rum, Pumpkin Rum, Vanilla-Myrrh, Madagascar Black Sandalwood, Black Amber and syrup of Black Crystal Vanilla infused Benzoin-Musk aged in a cedar Pirate Barrel.
FULL - NA Vampire Queen ~ Black Honey, Blood Wine and Cardamom. Threads of Black Saffron, Nile Patchouli and Black Musk. A drop of Blood Musk, Temple NA and Crimson (Egyptian Red Musk) scent the Vampire Queen.
VA Haunted House on the Hill ~ Amber infused Cedar, Pear infused Redwood, Teak infused Sandalwood and vespers of Cemetery Musk rising from their tombs.
VA Trick or Treat ~ Black Vanilla Caramel, Black Raspberry Sugar, Black Sugar, Bastet's Black Amber, Candy Corn, Black Cotton Candy, Blue Sugar Cream, Vanilla Flesh, Hot Cocoa Accord, Chocolate Sugar, Angel Food Cake and French Vanilla.

Nocturne Alchemy XY: Elixir of Honey and Vanilla:
Bastet's Blood Orange Vanilla XY ~ Essential oil of Mediterranean Blood Orange and Blood Grapefruit hand picked by Bastet and blended into this perfume, it then disappears in moments and then a blend of Vanilla Musk and a darkened French Vanilla creates a rapturous and ghostly perfume for this dark garden scent. A graveyard dirt note begins to settle into the perfume to invoke an old graveyard near the dark garden full of cobwebs and decaying blood oranges. Wait a few moments and the blood orange will come back and whisper its scent again until SL Crystal (Vanilla Musk) settles down on your skin. We've added Black Crystalline, dark honey and rich French Vanilla Beans to give this perfume the XY treatment.
Eternal Ankh Vintage XY ~ White Amber, Powdered and reconstructed oil of Egyptian Vanilla Husk, Vanilla fleck, African White Vanilla and the scent of soft Egyptian Sands. Aged for three years in a raw cedar barrel, accented with teak and oak for a distinct blend of Vintage Eternal Life with additional Crystalline (Egyptian Vanilla Orchid stigma Resin) Absolute, Kobalt (Vanilla Orchid of Cairo) Absolute and Blue Vanilla Sugar we give this perfume the XY treatment.

Selket Anti-Venom REZ ~ In the new composition I took the old recipe and changed it toward more of an ode to Crème de Menthe bringing up the mint essential oil note and adding nuances of Crystal (Vanilla Musk), Blue Sugar and a little Incense in the shadows before the scorpion Goddess stings with her tail. The Crème de Menthe composed with marshmallow and peppermint eo.
