    Cracked Mirrors

    Aquatic, silvery mirrors, and gilt. This is very much like House of Mirrors, but slightly wispier and more ghostly. Good throw and wear length.

    Disembodied Malevolent Laughter

    Cool lemon/grape that warms up to a resinous blend. Medium throw and wear length.

    Doleful Pipe Organ

    Musky chocolate metal. There's some pitch and oudh, and this is dark. Good throw and wear length.

    Figure in the Attic Window

    Minty, almost lemony, bergamot with a whiff of frankincense, and honestly this is also giving me citrusy white tea vibes. So pale ghosts in the attic. Cool cool. Would be an amazingly cooling summer scent in the June Gloom. Medium throw and wear length.

    Endless Corridors

    Rich heavy beeswax. Reminds me a Light of Men's Lives. Yup, beeswax. Good throw and wear length.

    Flickering Lights, Fluttering Curtains

    This should be called Vanilla Lace, because that's what it smells like. Bourbon vanilla, lace and a whiff of cognac. Rich and heady. Good throw and wear length.

    Icy Drafts

    This one reminds me to another Weenie, was it Unsteady Governess? Chilly white tea and a whiff of citrus. Yup, that's what it smells like. Great throw and average wear length.

    Rickety Staircase

    Light golden amber and oak. This one is a much quieter blend. Medium throw and wear length.

    It Was Just a Cat

    Warm amber fur. This one smells furry, ambery, and with a touch of resins. Medium throw, good wear length.

    To My Dear and Loving Husband

    A ritual of eternity, a celebration of the permanence of love: bourbon vanilla, 17-year aged patchouli, champaca blossom, copal, black tea, frankincense, and agarwood.

    Toy-Strewn Attic

    Porcelain dust, cedar, and a whiff of cologne. DAY BURNED WHITE, IS THAT YOU? Okay, either this is Day Burned White, version 2, or there's several types of ghost cocaine. Because this smells like its effing haunted as well. But with a whiff of cologne? If DBW was a white dust blend, this is more like porcelain dust and cologne.... Oh DAMN, this could be another iteration of Mr. Croup. But like demonic Mr. Croup - extra porcelain and demonic possession swirled in. Medium throw, average wear length.

    Sinister Groundskeeper

    Blood, dirt and a whiff of metal. This is basically metallic blood with some dirt throw in. SPOOKY SPOOKY. Wear to a haunted house hay ride or when you're exploring an abandoned building. Creep yourself and anyone else around you. Wear while watching Suspiria on AmazonPrime and wondering if there's suddenly a corridor hidden behind a wall in your house, and you end up knocking on it just to mare sure. Yanno. Medium throw and wear length.

    Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Buns

    Cinnamon buns with a whiff of pumpkin spice. So extra spicy cinnamon buns? The cinnamon is very prominent, but there is definitely a bread element to this. Good throw and wear length.

    Unsettling Portraits

    Mineral sandalwood, amber, frankincense. This one smells like an antique parlor. Gender neutral to masculine. This to me smells like a place, more than actual perfume. Medium throw and wear length.

    Blackcurrant Pie

    Cinnamon, cardamom, and a whiff of blackcurrants. I am definitely amping up the cinnamon and cardamom in this. Spicy blackcurrant jam. Medium throw and wear length.

    Apple Spice Hard Candy

    A piquant sugar rush.

    Apple Spice Hard Candy

    Spices and a whiff of apple. It smells like apple pie spices with sugar. Medium throw and wear length.

    Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Pie

    Chocolate ganache, and a whiff of both crust and pumpkin spice. For me, this is mainly a dark creamy chocolate blend (not sweet), with enough crust and pumpkin spice to keep it from being all chocolate. Medium throw and wear length.

    From Sunset to Star Rise

    Roses and honeysuckle on wet, and dries down the oudh and musk come out. It's basically a rose and oudh blend right now. I imagine this is what black roses smell like. Good throw and wear length.

    In Night When Colors All to Black Are Cast

    Myrrh, honey, musk, darkness, and a whiff of plum. This one is a darker resinous, inky black scent. Medium throw and wear length.

    The Ghosts of the Year

    Lemongrass, neroli, amber, and a whiff of cedar. This smells very lemony citrus on wet, and as it dries, you get slightly more spicy notes, and the cedar coming through. Every so often there's also the ghost of lavender. It's bright, sunny, lemony. Good throw and wear length.

    An Open Grave Underneath the Heavy Leaves

    Sweet grass, hay and herbs. This one smells sunny and grassy, and I sort of love it. Good throw and wear length.

    Liquid Gold is in the Air

    Juicy apple, amber, and golden oudh. The oudh definitely takes that goldenness and brings it down to earth. I can definitely see this as the golden light of autumn, with the wet dirt and fallen leaves smell. Great scent, good throw and wear length.

    Bleeding Walls

    This was a fruity cherry blend with a whiff of pom and almond. Not as spooky as I thought it would be. Good throw and wear length.

    Bookcase Passage

    Polished oak, and dusty leather, and this smells like Clive Barker's Library. Meaning, sorta creepy? I mean, definitely creepy. It reminds me to the Day Burned White. I think this dust is actual ghost dust, meaning this leather is covered in ghost cocaine. Don't inhale too deeply kiddos. Good throw and wear length of course.
