Such a fun set of curiosities, and honestly very wearable! Deus Ex Machina and Industrial Sabotage leaned very masculine so worked well for my partner, though I could also see layering Deus Ex Machina under some violets or roses for an interesting feminine steampunk scent. Mermaids in the Basement is an addicting tropical/aquatic on me that stays on clothes forever and gives Goonies vibes. Bibliotheca is so comforting and clean, and St Louis Cemetary very dirty and mysterious - layered with florals like Midnight Garden it becomes this super broody gothic southern vampire vibe. The scent I was most excited about was Center of the Universe, and it did not disappoint! Very weird but very wearable and you can’t stop smelling it! On me it’s raspberries, champagne, and iron with an almond/champagne dry down, the kind of scent that is complex and beautiful and otherworldly
These perfumes are just magical- they make your imagination go wild and you don't have a choice but to fall in love with the world of unique fragrances!
These scents were odd and unique but definitely not ones I would wear.
