A collection of odd and avant garde perfumes for the olfactory adventurer.

  • Bibliotheca: A vintage elegance of leatherbound books, plush club chairs, vintage vinyl records, polished mahogany tables, fountain pen ink, black tea, dark plum brandy, tweedy woolens, and oakmoss.
  • Center of the Universe: At the center of the Milky Way there is a simple aliphatic ester found in the smell of rum and raspberries. Added to this are astronauts' descriptions of the scents from space walks - freshly welded metal, gun powder, seared steak in an iron pan, burnt almond cookies, charcoal, and ozone.
  • Deus Ex Machina: Fire hardened steel, rusted iron, motor oil, wet cement, burnt copper wires, and grey amber. 
  • Industrial Sabotage: A cataclysmic wreckage of burnt wires; twisted melted steel; shattered machinery, and gunpowder.
  • Mermaids in the Basement: A siren song of seawater soaked linen, aquatic incense, white ginger, limoncello, cactus flower, loquat, cedar needles, mesquite, Hinoki wood, Guaiac wood, and Elemi.
  • St Louis Cemetery: An atmospheric brooding of Spanish moss, crumbling stone, old cement, red clay brick, and graveyard dirt.


Sample vials contain approximately 1ml / .3 dram

Weirdly wearable

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 scents were odd and unique but definitely not ones I would wear.
