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.
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!Īpplied: 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). 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.īLASPHEMY (Listed Notes: Orange, Apricot, Osmanthus, Davana, Clove, Black Pepper, Ginger, Myrrh, Vanilla, Labdanum) 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. 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). 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. Time from initial lighting to noticeable throw in a large room with fans: Around 8 minutes 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)). 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. 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. You know what is missing though? A flickering candle to cosy up beside and lend some timeless elegance to that personal space. What better place to start a fragrance journey than where the heart is and our own sanctuaries away from the mad world.
I admit I only was admiring the historical and culture-inspired candles at Werther & Gray () 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. 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. 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.
