πΈοΈ The Inspiration: The Abandoned Tea Party
Dried fruit and withered flowers in a silent stone conservatory; a sweet memory that has turned cold and dark. Gothic Berry & Bone is the dark interpretation of the 2016 DNA. It mixes the Blackberry with Dust, Cold Air, and Wilted Jasmine. It is melancholic, haunting, and beautiful.
π§ͺ The Olfactory Architecture: Smoke and Bone
The scent opens with Icy Air Accord and Bergamot. The heart is Burnt Praline and Wilted Violet. The base is Aged Patchouli and Dust Accord. It is haunting and evocative.
πΏ Raw Material Sourcing: The Dark
-
Cypriol: A smoky, earthy note that adds a dark depth to the sugary heart.
-
Patchouli: For a rooty, damp earthy effect like a forgotten cemetery garden.
π§ The Scent Psychology: Mystery
Dark gourmands signal hidden depth and secrets. This fragrance is for the soul that finds beauty in the shadows and the past.

We used Shadow-Scenting Tech. Darkening the solar, sweet notes into a ghostly glow that lingers for 12+ hours on the skin.

π From the Perfumer's Diary
"It smells like a memory lost in a fire. Dust, smoke, and the ghost of a sweet fruit. Beautifully tragic and incredibly deep."
