One Note at a Time: Necromancy *from the General Catalogue (Notes: Datura metel, ceremonial incense, funeral flowers, benzoin resin, ancient spirit boards, oud) If there ever was a Victorian or Edwardian Ghost scent out in the indie fragrance world to collect and cherish for myself Necromancy is definitely it as this creation creates visions of waltzing spirits, elaborate final ceremonies and tragic romance tales for the ages. In the bottle, this scent potion is a bit deceiving with incense, resin and a curious floral peeking behind everything and you may call Necromancy "pretty" at this point of time but once applied the captivating element of this perfume is released with a creamy narcotic floral (with a trace of vanilla and a drop of sweet dragon's blood) leading the way to another place and time then it all makes sense why Necromancy has graced the pages of a popular fashion forward magazine and comes highly recommended in certain circles. In regards to the general public's opinion concerning this oil, it's a clear winner (especially in the professional work setting) and acts like a billboard to stunning scent artistry to be found within the realm of indie perfumes. This is a true Holy Grail fragrance for me. Brava Claire! One Good Scare *limited edition that was brought back as part of the Halloween Favorites collection 2018 (Notes: Glowing jack-o-lanterns, charred marshmallows, roasted pumpkin seeds, falling leaves, campfire smoke) I've shared quite a bit about the strangely beautiful and elegant part of my perfume collection but really haven't written much about the fun playful corner so for a double feature about my favourite perfumes, I have to gush about One Good Scare as this is one (if not the best) morphing atmospheric gourmands I currently own and I just want to pour the bottle over my head while singing my own version of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" (how about "Pour Some Pumpkin On Me" and yes I whip my hair to the thumping chords in my head). I'm sticky creepy sweet from my head to my feet when I wear this scent confection and I love every second! One Good Scare opens with a realistic campfire smoke that then changes to frost-laced dead leaves with pumpkin flesh to nutty pumpkin seeds and dries down to a crave-worthy confection of marshmallow (and perhaps warm sandalwood?) that remains all day. It paints a scene straight from the silver screen of classic horror (accompanied by a little rock and metal music for good measure) and I couldn't be more pleased (this is also one perfume I'm not afraid to approach someone with and say either "Behold Halloween!" or "Smell Me!") I can't recommend this one enough. Sixteen92 Comments are closed.
