MX Perfume It's time for a revisit to one nifty shop that offers creative blends with an old Hollywood horror glam twist (and something a little more this round). One Note At a Time Monster Bride (Listed Notes: Green Apple, Peony, Sweet Pea, Rose, Musk, *Castoreum, *Ambergris *animal-friendly) The only way I can describe MONSTER BRIDE is Cruella de Vil with peony and sweet pea, she is a fashionable high-end beast, that reminds me of an extremely expensive perfume but with a sinister twist. A crackling of lightning and musk...it's really growing on me. Premature Burial (Listed Notes: Bay Leaf, Turmeric, Pimento, Magnolia, Ylang, Black Pine, Costus Root, Patchouli, Vanilla, Musk) I admit when PREMATURE BURIAL arrived it carried more of a soapy quality in the vial that frightened me but I must say this oil has vastly changed from a couple months ago. Now each time I dab it on, something else catches my attention with this oil, tonight it's black tangled roots after an opening of realistic pine and something being "tattered and torn" about PREMATURE BURIAL. I think this oddly comforting blend is in the unisex realm of fragrance and as equally strange as it sounds, I would wear this perfume to a brunch in a stormy graveyard. It's broken-down and somehow fancy smelling at the same sniff and pause; another surprise keeper in my dark little book. Black Sun (Listed Notes: Red Mandarin, Black Tea, Ginger Root, Rose, Incense, Cistus, Benzoin, Black Musk) In the vial BLACK SUN promises so much as it's black tea with incense and sweet benzoin (this has been the vial I have been anticipating for quite awhile). Once applied the lovely rose comes forward with the ginger and it's akin to a warm sweet floral tea that amps for a few moments on me and then changes completely over to sharp soap and stays that way for hours (thanks skin chemistry, hate you too). Overall, a rare miss for me from MX Perfume. I'm interested to read others impressions on this creation, the tea and rose note would be magic on anyone else and I'm jealous. (**please remember everyone's skin chemistry is different and what my chemistry does with one note may not happen on someone else. That's the unique beauty of perfume oils, they react with everyone differently- don't hesitate to try a sample of something if it interests you). Amber Decay (Listed Notes: Mandarin, Orange, Honey, Tobacco, Lily Of The Valley, Myrrh, Cedarwood, Amber, Agarwood) The applicator wands holds wondrous notes of juicy and sweet orange, honey and lily of the valley that call out from another elegant time period and I can't wait to slather. When applied AMBER DECAY is unapologetically feminine with honey-glazed orange blossom and warm ambered tobacco that all brings to mind the final days of summer. Hours later it's soft and powdery lily of the valley with a woody base; it's so pretty. This is a definite future purchase after the vial runs out. Warm Leatherette (Listed Notes: *Leather, Metallic Notes, Birch, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Carnation, Black Pepper *animal-friendly) As it says on the tin, this is one chic leather and vanilla fragrance that has become my go-to when I want to step out in another persona for the night (or blast 80's and early 90's music from Cher). The creamy spicy carnation with leather and vanilla amp on me the most and it's a surprise win for my senses. I would call WARM LEATHERETTE more of a unisex fragrance and I'm very curious what notes would amp on a man. It's also a fabulous sleep scent potion. Into the basket it goes. Rubedo (Listed Notes: Pink Grapefruit, Mandarin, Rose, Melon, Honey, Musk, Sandalwood, Benzoin, Oakmoss, Ambergris) I'm going to concede the title of favourite of this round to RUBEDO (WARM LEATHERETTE in a close second) with its honeyed grapefruit, melon and complex rose stealing away my nose and straight into the lineup of perfumes to wear for the workplace RUBEDO is placed. It almost smells sparkly on my wrist like a precious jewel catching the light with also some underlying snap and sizzle and I waited far too long to add RUBEDO to my collection. Cemetery Lip Salve in Vampy Vanilla *This shop has it all and I'm thrilled to see these types of upcoming body and scent indulgences for dark little hearts everywhere. Thank you so much, The Candle Parlour for sending this sample of lip salve. This salve has been one of my go-tos this hot drying summer and I would purchase it. The formula is not overly soft or hard or oily and it doesn't break out the skin around my mouth. The scent is a light vanilla that doesn't interrupt midnight lunches with any unpleasant contrasting flavour or waxiness and provides a nice barrier of moisture to my lips (since discovering lip stains my lips constantly need moisturized and I reach for Vampy Vanilla quite a bit throughout the night). Looking at the other available flavours I'm intrigued by "Poison Garden" and hope it's peppermint in disguise. I'll be sure to share my findings (fingers crossed this shop will release bath delights or incense next). MX Perfume MX Perfume mxperfume.etsy.com SUGAR HICCUP (Listed Notes: Rosewood, Sugar, Ginger, Moroccan Rose, Civet (*animal-friendly/synthetic), Amber, Musk, Ambergris (* animal-friendly/synthetic)) Thoughts: I can only describe SUGAR HICCUP as wearable ethereal gossamer, a beautiful reminder of the lost past, posh for the office setting (or a night out) and a unique sugary amber floral I can wear year-round with not one headache or regret. It may sound strange but this is one fragrance that becomes a part of you (only better) and it seriously has to be experienced to get the full mysterious effect. I can't get enough of this rare jewel. Bravo MX Perfume! SCARECROW (Listed Notes: Red Apple, Orange, Anise, Hay Absolute, Tobacco, Fenugreek, Cardamom, Vanilla, Vetiver) Thoughts: SCARECROW by MX Perfume is everything my dark little heart has been desiring in a fall fragrance and I want to live in the bottle. The compliments just keep rolling in when I wear this wonder and SCARECROW is exactly how I'm beating the heat this summer. On me, the realistic hay blended with spice and vanilla are most dominant after the perfect mash of fruit fades and if I could stop slathering this holy grail creation over my arms and in my hair (plus belting out "This is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas) all long enough I can also detect a wisp of smokiness in this oil that only pulls me deeper into a maze of country fall-related memories; it's just so good! Bravo MX Perfume! mxperfume.etsy.com THE BLACK DEATH FRAGRANCE: Autumn Leaves Time from initial lighting to noticeable throw in a large room with fans: Around 7 minutes Colour of Wax: Black THE BLACK DEATH by Werther & Gray somehow captures the moment when decayed leaves begin to turn dusty and blow in the winds. There is even a drop of patchouli I can detect which adds to the overall effect and I know the perfect candle I'll be burning when I pick up another title on The Great Mortality. Also, the artwork is superb and a must-have decor item for any morbid history collector. SÉANCE FRAGRANCE: Sage, Amber and Smoke Time from initial lighting to noticeable throw in a large room with fans: Around 5-6 minutes Colour of Wax: Midnight Blue Out of the five candles, I was presented with, (in lightning fast time and each artfully packaged) SÉANCE is my favourite out of the jars. I feel I could sit at my desk and pen a full novel with that obscure beauty burning away. The scent that emanates from the candle is truly otherworldly and I can easily imagine a story centred around a mystic, a widow's hopes of reuniting with a lost love from the great war and a circle of dark secrets about to be revealed. I will definitely be repurchasing this powdery creation. LONDON, 1888 FRAGRANCE: Rich lacquered wood, velvety floral notes and seductive fruit Time from initial lighting to noticeable throw in a large room with fans: Around 7-8 minutes Colour of Wax: Maroon For the armchair investigators of unsolved bygone crimes or infamous mysteries, there is no finer selection of candle to cosy up beside than LONDON, 1888 by Werther & Gray. The exact notes of this candle are an alluring mystery all its own (my nose does detect a trace of plum and bergamot) but ultimately this jar tempts you to turn another page or stay to ponder on one more theory long after the lamp chain should be pulled for the night. Exactly what I was hoping for. REIGN OF TERROR FRAGRANCE: Cake, Frosting, Amber, Wood Time from initial lighting to noticeable throw in a large room with fans: Around 4-5 minutes Colour of Wax: Red REIGN OF TERROR along with four other history and seasonally inspired jars from this enchanting shop were all a birthday gift to myself and I finally got my cake with this intriguing candle. Ah but not just any cake, the scent of REIGN OF TERROR is refined and unlike any bakery temptation you will ever find. HALLOWEEN WITCH FRAGRANCE: Pumpkin Bread, Spice Time from initial lighting to noticeable throw in a large room with fans: Around 8-9 minutes Colour of Wax: Golden Brown HALLOWEEN WITCH puts a spell on fall and gourmand fragrance seekers alike with warm delicious nostalgia. This is one comforting jar with not an overwhelming throw but one that beckons just enough for a few more minutes of cozy reading and daydreaming of autumn or cooler weather to come. One whiff and you'll be gone to buy another candle from this amazing shop and I ain't lyin'. Ladies and Gentlemen may I introduce to you a couple of amazing shops and the talented scent genius behind them who wears many hats in the realm of indie fragrance. From candles to perfume this artist somehow conjures and bottles the essences of bygone eras and themes ranging from the demure to the downright macabre with a distinct fashion that I can't put down in any form whether it be my TITANIC inspired candle or my holy grail autumn perfume better known as SCARECROW (Yes, the long search is over!) The various bottles, vials and jars that can be found in his shops are beyond unique along with the fragrance branding that calls out to an old soul like me and to even hard to please trend forward relatives who walk in and ask: "what smells so good?" There really is bound to be a new olfactory addiction waiting for everyone within Werther & Gray, The Candle Parlour or MX Perfume. I admit I only was admiring the historical and culture-inspired candles at Werther & Gray (wertherandgray.etsy.com) ever since I joined ETSY and never thought I would be pulled into so many new wonderful choices of creative note profiles for my home and my own finally realized personal style but here we are and I can tell this is only the beginning of some extraordinary collections that I can't wait to display. Bravo on everything Charles! Werther & Gray wertherandgray.etsy.com The Candle Parlour candleparlour.com/ What better place to start a fragrance journey than where the heart is and our own sanctuaries away from the mad world. You know what is missing though? A flickering candle to cosy up beside and lend some timeless elegance to that personal space. If you are an armchair explorer of the past or simply love the classics Werther & Gray and The Candle Parlour are the places to see as the selections range from sweet florals to the darkly inspired (but dignified) fragrances and everything in between to grace your abode. On ETSY you will find a smaller listing that then leads to the huge library of other luxury candle options (and needful things) at The Candle Parlour. I have to admit after falling hard for the next history influenced creations I'm about to gush about, I have already begun to compile a list of future purchases ((that Jack the Ripper inspired candle, The Black Death jar scented with autumn leaves, Jane Austen and Pumpkin Spice canister (along with so many others) all need to be in my home)). TITANIC FRAGRANCE: Salt Water, Plum, Clove Leaf, Blue Amber Time from initial lighting to noticeable throw in a large room with fans: Around 7 minutes The gorgeous artwork on the jar alone is enough to take this historymagpie over the moon but the contents are just magnificent and make my senses swoon. The elegant ambience that radiates from TITANIC is perfect in my book and is exactly what I have been waiting to see for years from a candle (beloved history and unparalleled fragrance). The blending of plum with a hint of clove and salty amber creates an aquatic feeling without it being overwhelming or screaming "OCEAN" like other candles on the market that have always given me a horrible headache. Not one headache to report thankfully with this lovely soothing creation and it will always be a part of my home decor and I'm throwing out any Yankee Candles. POWDERED WIG FRAGRANCE: Orris & Orange Blossom Time from initial lighting to noticeable throw in a large room with fans: Around 8 minutes What can I say? I can never turn away from lovely illustrations and the decorative label featuring the brooding gentleman with his admiring lady on the jar of POWDERED WIG immediately caught my eye and made me think of an earlier version of Heathcliff and Isabella Linton from Wuthering Heights. It certainly looked like it had a story to tell and the fascinating trivia notes about the use of orange blossom and orris in actual wigs intrigued me all the more (plus I have been searching for a powdery candle with a meaning for a long time). Let me tell you the jar is even more stunning in person and the scent profile of POWDERED WIG is indeed soft and demure with such a beautiful welcoming quality from the delicate orange blossom and powdery orris. Not an overwhelming fragrance by any means but just a terrific starter candle for those curious about this fine collection of scents and historical inspirations. MX Perfume mxperfume.etsy.com Some things can't be merely explained or properly described they only need to be experienced and if you give MX Perfume a curious wave of the wrist you will quickly understand what I mean. I will say these marvellous perfumes hold such a captivating mysterious collective quality about them and for whatever theme, clever name, fragrance profile or iconic image that grabs your attention; you are in for a rare treat. BLASPHEMY (Listed Notes: Orange, Apricot, Osmanthus, Davana, Clove, Black Pepper, Ginger, Myrrh, Vanilla, Labdanum) In the vial: CLOVE, BLACK PEPPER, MYRRH and an undercurrent of dark FRUIT that melds so well into the spice and resins, it's positively wicked and divine! Applied: If you are a "spice fiend" who can't help slathering on fragrances with some heat and giving your nose a much-needed wakeup, grab BLASPHEMY and take your place inside the fire with MX Perfume (you won't regret it). On me, this oil opens with a mash of zesty spice and warm fruit that I can't pull my nose away from and as this scent potion dries it actually gets more pronounced akin to a growing flame with an underlining black pepper and something herbaceous stoking and giving it an extra kick on my skin. When it fades hours later, the final call goes to a faint peppery vanilla giving this wonderfully complex perfume a lasting soothing quality you can't wait to smell again. I love wearing this creation in the workplace setting or just standing on the breezeway letting the well-blended list of notes swirl with the wind and this fragrance is going right into my basket of "you need this". FULL MOON (Listed Notes: Thyme, Orris Tincture, White Lotus, Night Jasmine, Violet, Styrax, Ambergris (*animal-friendly/synthetic), Copaiba Balsam) In the vial: THYME, VIOLET and AMBERGRIS, it has a lovely obscure property to it that I'm excited to try. Hopefully, my skin chemistry behaves with the violet. Here we go... Applied: The more I wear FULL MOON and allow it to age, the more I'm falling under its spell. This and PAPER MOON (review to follow shortly) are both, unlike anything I have ever had the pleasure to smell before with the thyme amping on my skin and creating a pure elemental quality that adds another facet to seek out for my growing perfume collection. If PAPER MOON is the summer to early autumn version of the presentation of the moon in my mind, then FULL MOON is the intricate mysterious fall to winter arrangement with a herbaceous opening then unique florals, powder and a barely detectable sprig of balsam under everything. I will definitely be wearing FULL MOON for the Total Lunar Eclipse (the longest of the 21st century) happening at the end of this month (Friday, July 27th). SUGAR HICCUP (Listed Notes: Rosewood, Sugar, Ginger, Moroccan Rose, Civet (*animal-friendly/synthetic), Amber, Musk, Ambergris (* animal-friendly/synthetic)) In the vial: I don't want to get too excited but seriously, where has this fragrance been all my life?! It's so well blended but my nose clearly favours the ROSE and SUGARY AMBER that I absolutely love and fingers crossed it plays well with my chemistry. Applied: Could it be? Have I finally stumbled across a rose perfume that I can wear with no painful regrets or one that doesn't smell like hairspray? YES! Yes, I have. Complete thoughts fail me as I sit here and forgive me if I ramble or forego the "this opens with" but no simple description will do this haunting masterpiece justice (you just need to experience it for yourself). For me, SUGAR HICCUP is like wearable ethereal gossamer, a beautiful reminder of the lost past and I'm going to wear this floral scent year round. There is a warmth to the notes that will transition well for the colder months but there is also something so perfect about it for summer and spring (the ginger?). This jewel needs to come home to me as soon as possible and be nestled alongside my professional/confidence in a bottle cache of treasured fragrances (*full feature article coming soon if I can articulate on this wonder). SCARECROW (Listed Notes: Red Apple, Orange, Anise, Hay Absolute, Tobacco, Fenugreek, Cardamom, Vanilla, Vetiver) In the vial: Realistic COUNTRY FALL in all its spectacular glory! It's: breathtaking pastoral landscapes, climbing apple trees, long solitary walks in the hollow, haunted hayrides, apple festivals with spiced treats, corn mazes, ghost trails all magnificently captured and released in a flood of additional images. Just fragrance nirvana with special nostalgic properties and I want to live in the vial. Applied: I am truly in the presence of an evil scent genius who has somehow conjured into existence my autumn holy grail fragrance. It only took a year to stumble across this gem and as I dab (then paint then downright slather this fragrance on) and bask in everything this vial has to offer, I sorely wish SCARECROW came in multiple forms (candle, hair and bath for starters) because I'm seriously ready to just dump the vial over my head right now as I'm typing; it's so good! After going through pages on my extensive trove of fall themed oils, believe it or not, SCARECROW is the first to contain hay absolute and I'm delighted to share that it amps on my skin along with vanilla, cardamom and vetiver. If I can pull my nose away long enough and try to concentrate there is also something slightly smoky about it (the tobacco?) Sadly I must admit my treacherous skin chemistry causes this scent of my dreams to fade faster than the other vials I sampled in my pack but I have learned how to combat that baleful side of my chemical makeup with tricks that work for these few poor unfortunate oils and all I have left to say is: Take my money now MX Perfume! (*full feature coming soon on the 5ml bottle) ZOMBIE FEAST (Listed Notes: Hyssop, Thyme, Rum, Cognac, Coconut, Hazelnut, White Chocolate, Vanilla) In the vial: COCONUT, WHITE CHOCOLATE, HAZELNUT and VANILLA with a drop of booze in the background. ZOMBIE FEAST is definitely the gourmand option of the samples. I have no idea how this is going to play out but I'm excited to have it. Applied: You know I've always wondered what zombies smell in the air as they chase around potential victims on the screen and I should have known it would be something crave-worthy and positively yummy. On me, ZOMBIE FEAST is not "tropical" even with the coconut, it's akin to a decadent expensive creamy vanilla truffle with shredded coconut and hazelnut adorning it. A great choice for those of us who are wary of coconut and the "beachy realm" (no beach or suntanning lotion here just a toothsome confection that is sure to garner compliments). Like all the vials I tried ZOMBIE FEAST is very wearable in this insufferable summer heat and is another fragrance I will be reaching for when I'm not dousing myself in SCARECROW (hope the bottle lasts until fall). WHITE SUNSHINE (Listed Notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Geranium, Iris, Jasmine, White Musk, Civet (*animal-friendly/synthetic), Oakmoss, Patchouli, Vanilla, Labdanum) In the vial: CITRUS and FLORALS that carry a summer breeze with it. I have a strong feeling I'm going to love this. Applied: It took me several times wearing WHITE SUNSHINE to figure out what this stunning fragrance reminded me of and it may sound odd but two things come to mind anymore when I'm enjoying this superbly blended creation, one is if the magical bioluminescence of a firefly had a scent it would be WHITE SUNSHINE and the other is the multi-faceted piece of symbolism known as the "green light" in The Great Gatsby. There is a romantic aspect to this fragrance that is both dreamy and complex but still ethereal (just out of reach) and I simply adore it. Into the basket, you go WHITE SUNSHINE and now I want to go outside and reread The Great Gatsby for the 180th time. DARK & STORMY (Listed Notes: Petrichor, Bergamot, Pear, Gardenia, Patchouli, Blue Musk, Leather (*animal-friendly/synthetic), Amber) *Too late did I see that gardenia was a listed note and for those readers following my ramblings, you will recall gardenia and I haven't played well in the recent past. Oh dear now I'm worried. In the vial: ...Did I receive the right vial? What is that exquisite note greeting me under the lovely petrichor, patchouli and bergamot? If this is what gardenias really smell like please get me a huge bouquet of them. I hate to get excited but it's impossible not to. Fingers and toes crossed... Applied: This may be called DARK & STORMY and I should be cursing my chemistry right now for turning this anticipated perfume into a calming spring rainshower versus a violent storm but oddly I'm not, I'm actually quite smitten as I sit here. On me, DARK & STORMY takes me away to a charming Old Hollywood set with a legendary starlet lounging in the parlour as a refreshing rain hits the window. Her trademark fragrance is creamy gardenia and it gently follows in her wake and lingers on the leather-bound script on the table as she moves to each new scene ready for her closeup. Overall another vintage romance in the making and I think MX Perfume just helped me turn a huge corner on appreciating a certain floral. Into the basket. BIZZARO (Listed Notes: Tangerine, Clary Sage, Raspberry, Mango, Jasmine, Gardenia, Cardamom, Olibanum, Blue Musk, Ambergris (*animal-friendly/synthetic)) In the vial: FRANKINCENSE, CARDAMOM, SAGE. There is probably a fruit note as well but my nose loves to single out resins, spice and herbs in anything. I'm extremely intrigued by this vial. Applied: Clary Sage greets me first and steers BIZZARO into the masculine realm (I bet this would smell amazing on a man) but as it dries the gardenia glides over along with the jasmine and an unknown fruit note slowly turning this fragrance on me to more feminine with a sprinkle of warm spice from the cardamom. It smells so expensive and I think it will only get better with aging. BLOOD LUST (Listed Notes: Wormwood, Tarragon, Citrus, Ajowan, Plum Blossom, Jasmine, Olibanum, Patchouli, Oudwood, Vanilla) In the vial: This strangely fascinating vial keeps changing every time I open it to test. Right now I detect JASMINE, CITRUS, PATCHOULI and TARRAGON. And now there's OUDWOOD. If BLOOD LUST is morphing already I can't wait to try it on. Applied: On me, jasmine commands the show for several minutes along with wormwood then prized plum and a twist of citrus slowly appears. When BLOOD LUST completely dries vanilla, oudwood and earthy patchouli stay the longest and keeps my nose down to my wrist. Like BIZZARO this perfume smells expensive and is one of the more masculine vials but still appropriate for a lady. Victorian Fragrance Co. *Sadly this line has been discontinued but it is definitely worth sharing. A special thank you to the owner for allowing me the chance to sample and enjoy these perfumes centred around my favourite era of time* PAPER MOON (Listed Notes: Honey, Almond, Thyme, Pear, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Musk) I've always had some kind of unexplainable connection to the moon and I'm so happy the owner sent this creamy otherworldly creation to me. PAPER MOON is so aptly named as it has this beautifully strange and wonderful papery-powdery quality to it and I can't stop smelling my wrists. This perfume is like an invisible strand of pearls that serves as the perfect final accessory to stand apart from the mundane but still stay classy and stately in any setting (also compliments any attire choice). I absolutely adore it! DAPPER (Listed Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Herbs, Carnation, Rose, Cedar, Sandalwood, Labdanum) I dab some DAPPER on when I'm dressed to the nines and want to beat the summer heat with something fancy and formal noted. I've already put a noticeable dent in the bottle so this will be another fragrance I'll be rationing but it is well worth it with the spicy and a smoke-like floral that opens with a delightful citrus and herbaceous note combination that actually stays on my finicky skin. Hours later, the florals with spice slowly fade and the final call goes to the sandalwood and cedar that stays into the next morning. They don't make vintage smelling perfumes like this anymore which is truly a shame. THE MOORS ( Listed Notes: Heather, Lilac, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean) *still currently aging but it is very promising with a floral mossy noted mixture that makes me want to hop a plane to the UK so badly (and probably never come back) to see the real moors. AUTUMN EVENTIDE (Listed Notes: Hay, Plum, Apple, Orange, Cinnamon, Clove, Musk, Blonde Tobacco) I can never have too many spiced apple oils and AUTUMN EVENTIDE is a classic that I will tuck into my fall trove. This perfume lasts longer in my hair and I love walking around in a halo of warmth and fruit with a scattering of tobacco. Definitely a keeper in my book. BLACK BOMBAZINE (Listed Notes: Frankincense, Labdanum, Black Musk, Clove, Plum, Rosewood) In the vial, this oil is a boozy floral with clove but completely transforms once it hits the skin and BLACK BOMBAZINE is for the plum and wood note lovers. It is meant to heavy and acts upon the imagination creating visions of stopped clocks and covered mirrors. Another keeper for reading certain subjects of interest. STILL LIFE (Listed Notes: Oakmoss, Narcissus, Musk, Peony, Lily, Mandarin) This fragrance starts off with a burst of addicting sharp lemon and peony that then dries down to a vintage scent collage leaning toward more powdery on me but still noticeably floral. This is a good oil to wake up and start the day with. TEA & CRUMPETS (Listed Notes: Black Tea, Milk, Musk, Red Apple, Orange) True to its name TEA & CRUMPETS is steeped tea with a splash of lemon and milk. A great summer alternative to the tropical fruits and sweet gourmands. I don't know what it is about apples and oranges that never seem to fair well with my temperamental skin chemistry (they sadly fade very quickly). Oh well, atleast my hair can smell like tea and fruit. |
