Super good!!!

Chose the Gothic perfume hoping it would smell like incense, AND IT DOES!!! It smells like a medieval gothic church and not in an overpowering alcohol-y way so many perfumes smell. The samples received (Carmilla and Siren’s spell) also smell really good. The scents change with time and become more subtle. Now I feel quite sad I didn’t get more scents since they do really smell as described. I feel like the vibe of the scents is well represented in their descriptions

"white roses, black doves"

I first got this as a sample and the only thing I could think of was how this smelled like a Sleep Token song. It's intense, moody, mythical, revelatory. It conjures up images of medieval monasteries, something you would smell in a Gene Wolfe novel, or perhaps something Vessel would wear. It smells strong and smoky but with a touch of softness.

I saw someone said that it reminded them of frankincense and church. But for me is not quite like it. Its definitely more like resinous, like the pines bristles and a subtle aroma of incense.
