πΈοΈ The Inspiration: The Abandoned Childhood
An abandoned dollhouse filled with dried flowers and dust in a silent mansion; a sweet memory that has turned cold and dark. Gothic Dollhouse is the dark interpretation of the 2018 DNA. It mixes the Burnt Praline with Cold Air and Wilted Rose. 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, inky note that adds a dark depth to the sweetness.
-
Patchouli: For a rooty, damp earthy effect like a forgotten 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.
π¬π§ The London Lab Technology
We used Shadow-Scenting Tech. Darkening the solar, sweet notes into a ghostly glow that lingers 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."
