Alice
THE CATERPILLAR
Heavy incense notes waft lazily through a mix of carnation, jasmine, bergamot, and neroli over a lush bed of dark mosses, iris blossom, deep patchouli and indolent vetiver.
CHESHIRE CAT
Grapefruit, red currant, dark musk, Roman chamomile, delphinium, and lavender.
THE DORMOUSE
A dizzying eddy of four teas brushed with light herbs and a breath of peony.
FRUMIOUS BANDERSNATCH
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
Bandersnatch musk, redolent of spicy carnations, wild plums and chrysanthemum.
THE KING OF HEARTS
Rosewood and black cherry with white musk, red rose, red musk and a spark of lavender.
MARCH HARE
A twisted teatime tart: apricot and sweet clove.
MOUSE'S LONG AND SAD TALE
Vanilla, two ambers, sweet pea and white sandalwood.
THE RED QUEEN
Deep mahogany and rich, velvety woods lacquered with sweet, black-red cherries and currant.
TWEEDLEDEE: Ridiculous! Kumquat, white pepper, white tea and orange blossom.
TWEEDLEDUM: Absurd! Green mango, fig, patchouli and green tea.
WHITE RABBIT
Strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen.
Shakespere
IAGO
Malevolent, dark and shadowy: sinuous black musk, wet leather and vetiver.
JESTER
Huckleberry and red currant with the incisive bite of neroli.
LADY MACBETH
The essence of ambition, covetousness and manipulation: sweet Bordeaux wine, blood red currant, thyme and wild berries.
OBERON
Orchid, white musk, and bergamot wafting over juniper berries, with a gentle touch of soft, earthy patchouli.
TAMORA
Amber, heliotrope, golden sandalwood, peach blossom and vanilla bean.
TITUS ANDRONICUS
Dark musk and black amber with frankincense, red sandalwood, neroli and bergamot.
Travel
BAGHDAD
Amber, saffron and bergamot with mandarin, nutmeg, Bulgar rose, musk and sandalwood.
GLASGOW
The rich scent of wild blackberry breezing over gentle rosy heather.
THE HANGING GARDENS
This perfume is an interpretation of the Hanging Gardens by night, based on further accounts of its fruit and flora: date palm, ebony, fir, pomegranate, plum, two pears, quince, fig, and grapevine with plumeria, three gardenias and dry rose.
HOLLYWOOD BABYLON
The essence of innocence shattered: glittering Egyptian amber and heliotrope, infused with the sweetness of strawberry and vanilla - dragged into debauch by lusty red musk and a dribble of black cherry.
MADRID
Swarthy and vibrant! An elegant, full-bodied scent that ignites all the darkest passions. Bold red wine, mimosa, and a trickle of clove.
MACHU PICCHU
Sweet tropical fruits burst through deep, wet rainforest boughs, enormous steamy blossoms, over thin mountaintop breezes, mingled with the soft, rich golden scent of Peruvian amber.
MANHATTAN
Sexuality, power, confidence. A meeting of modern, sleek elegance and rich, passionate history: sheer amber, black leather, white mint, lemon peel, white tea, grapefruit, kush, teakwood and orchid.
MOSCOW
A rich, bold blend of imperial rose, carnation, lush jasmine, lily of the valley, dark musk, amber, bergamot and gilded tangerine.
PORT-AU-PRINCE
Dark, decadent and incomparably exotic: the rich scent of buttered rum flavored with almond, bay, clove and sassafras.
TINTAGEL
According to legend, the birthplace of King Arthur. The scent of a castle's great hall in the midst of joyous feasting. Spicy mulled wine flowing through the musky heat, warm leather and bright clash of armor, the damp branches of Cornish hawthorn, blackthorn, juniper, English elm and bayberry, and the magical tingle of dragon's blood resin.
VERSAILLES
Grand, courtly and robust: a glittering, golden scent that would do Louis XIV proud. Gilded red and gold citrus with amber, ruby roses, jasmine and orris.
YEREVAN
Brimming with native fruits and flowers, but also imbued with the power of native earth magicks: apricot and pomegranate with deep plum, wild roses, two Middle Eastern pale musks, white orchid, iris and sweet roots.
Dragons!
DRAGON'S HIDE
Flame-kissed, warm, smooth, and highly protective. Dragon’s blood, leather and a hint of smoke.
TANIN'IVER
Lilith’s monstrous dragon steed: dragon’s blood resin, patchouli, pomegranate, myrrh, mimosa, cassia, blood musk and smoke.
Divine
PERSEPHONE
Beautiful, radiant daighter of Demeter... her lovliness was so exquisite that even Hell itself could not resist her. Pomegranate and rose.
QUEEN MAB
Warrior, Trickster and Goddess of Magic and Poets, she is one of the Tuatha De Danaan and the Queen of the Faeries. A very complex scent, both shadowy and fierce: black orchid, sandalwood, night-blooming jasmine, osmanthus, Somalian rose, and Chinese musk.
Other ideas
VICE
Voluptuous and indulgent! A deep chocolate scent, with black cherry and orange blossom.
HUNGER
Evokes sheer, unadulterated carnal lust. An undeniably warm and sensual scent. Black narcissus, orange blossoms, and vanilla.
PERVERSION
The perfect scent to wear to your next bondage ball, dungeon adventure or sojourn to your favorite pleasure dome. Smoky rum and black tobacco with a whisper of steamy leather with a splash of crystalline chardonnay, layered over a sensual, sweet, and deceptively magnetic base of tonka.
SEVERIN
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the Father of Masochism and sexual surrender, had planned on writing six volumes of erotic literature entitled The Heritage of Cain. Only the first two volumes were completed, the more famous of the two being the notorious Venus in Furs. This novel tells the tale of a man, Severin, that enters into a relationship of slavery and increasingly debauched degradation with his mistress, Wanda. Dry black teas, Earl Gray, and leather.
WHIP
Agony and ecstasy: black leather and damp red rose.
HIGHWAYMAN
Stand and deliver! Vetiver with gardenia, blood red rose, night-blooming jasmine, a dash of cinnamon and a faint hint of leather.
HYMN TO PROSERPINE
The darkening amber of faith’s sunset, deepened by the dark fruits of Proserpine.
LAMPADES
The Lampades are the darkly beautiful nymphs of the underworld, also called the Lethe Nymphae Avernales. They are the daughters of the Gods that govern the many rivers of Hades. The Lampades are Hecate's torch-bearers and accompany the Goddess on her hunts, quests and revels. Their scent is the crisp, inviting bittersweet tang of cranberry with smoky dark lilies, heady, sensual musk, a tingle of ginger and a brush of Mediterranean spices.
