The rest in the series:
✤ LIGHT BETWIXT THE HORNS
Scorched amber with a core of pulsating red musk, thick with dark, sweet aged patchouli root, cypress bough and juniper berries, blackened dried fruits, and clove husk.
✤ HAGSTONE
Salt-polished stone, seafoam, ocean spray, balsam, to***co flower, white kelp, and black tea.
✤ INKFEATHER
Licorice root, black amber, 10-year aged black patchouli, and dark, resinous incense.
✤ MELISSAE
A fragrance inspired by the buzzing prophesies of nymphs, the devotions of ancient priestesses, and the bounty of honied hives. Wildflower honey, frankincense, olive blossoms, and cinnamon.
✤ SATOR
Night-black musk and scorched wood polished with ambrette, suffused with sweet flag, olibanum, vetiver, styrax, and red labdanum.
✤ SACKE & SUGAR
Rich butter melts into caramelized sugar, vanilla marshmallow, a delicate touch of cream and milky musk, and the warm, comforting aroma of fresh-baked bread rolls.
Please note: this oil contains butter CO2 extract, which is not vegan.
✤ PYEWACKET
Gleaming red-tinged eyes peering from the shadows. Ink stains and smoke weave tendrils through aged blackened patchouli, rich amber, and infernal musk.
✤ AKELARRE
Molten labdanum drips like blood onto bare skin, red musk thrums with carnal hunger, and gleaming red amber smolders against the writhing curve of the body.
✤ BENEVENTO
The crackle of scorched wood and the fragrant profanation of dry vanilla bean heralds strange heresies.
