1. Heretic’s Poltergeist is an ode to the haunted forest. Douglas Little’s all natural fragrance is inspired by controlled forest burns. It’s smoky and earthy with a touch of fresh aromatics on the top. This perfume tells the story of the forest and its ghosts.
2. Demeter has collaborated with the wonderfully spooky Mistress of the Dark – Elvira. Our favourite from Elvira’s collection is Sexy Witch with its sweet, musky floral tones (the collection also includes Elvira’s Vamp, Elvira’s Zombie and Elvira’s Black Roses). Shop them all here
3. Diane Pernet’s perfume In Pursuit of Magic is designed to make you feel like you’ve stepped into a parallel world. Nothing is as it seems anymore, but there is magic in the air! In Pursuit of Magic is a cheeky, fresh scent with notes of Citrus and Marijuana.
4. Carner Barcelona’s Palo Santo tells the story of this magical wood. Used for centuries by shamans for its healing and magical properties, Palo Santo is a warm and smoky fragrance that intoxicates everyone who comes in its wake.
5. Demeter’s Funeral Home is as playful as usual from the fragrance library. What started out as white floral fragrance took on another life as it began to remind the creator of his grandfather’s funeral. Soon the smell of a wooden casket was included with a Mahogany note and a slightly sharp element that smells somewhat formaldehyde-ish to us.
6. Andrea Maack grew up in Iceland obsessed with the supernatural world. She was destined to recreate this in a scent and that perfume is indeed Coven. Imagine a lush, wet, green forest, the smell of fresh soil and a touch of magic in the air with this perfume.
7. Map of the Heart’s perfume V2. The Heart of Darkness is a representation of transformation. Going within to emerge anew, moving through the darkness to reach the light. Also inspired by a bush fire near Sarah and Jeff’s property in NSW, this is the smell of rebirth after the fire – the smoky scent of the ash and embers, a little ray of sunlight suggest the rebirth.
8. Juliette has a Gun’s Into the Void is a warm and mysterious perfume with a dark energy. Inspired by the numerous unknown phenomena’s in this world that we are yet to understand, but particularly that of black holes. Rich, luxurious woody tones are decadent and sensual on the skin with this perfume.
9. Nasomatto’s Absinth is a mischievous nod to the little green fairy. A perfume created to stimulate irresponsible behaviour! Smelling quite true to Absinthe itself, this parfum opens to a sharp green tone then softens as it gets you into trouble.
10. Tokyo Milk’s Dead Sexy is warm and seductive much like the name suggests…. too hard to resist. With exotic woods and sweet alluring Vanilla notes, Dead Sexy is a showstopper anywhere, anytime.
