SAMPLES:
Amadeus — A delightful powdery fragrance, reminiscent of aged sheet music, antique instruments, and powdered wigs—finished with a gorgeous amber accord and a soft dry-down.
Aurora Borealis — Radiant and floral, capturing the eternal beauty of the Northern Lights.
Black Pearl — Dark wood, worn leather, sea breeze, milky coconuts, and sweet rum. “A pirate’s life for me...”.
Bloody Mary — Opens with a metallic, airy pomegranate note, blending into a warm, leathery undertone with a harmonious floral bouquet.
Fern Valley — Deep-green and ozonic. A photographic scent of a fern valley after the rain with a touch of petrichor.
Floating Candles — A tender darkness with a waxy, velvety base, soft greenery in the heart, and a subtle smoky, resinous touch.
Gothika — High gothic cathedral, century dust, stone walls, honeyed candle wax, incense, polished wooden benches, leather-bound books.
Haunted Circus — An avant-garde gourmand perfume with an industrial edge. It opens with a powdery, rubbery nuance reminiscent of balloons, unfolding into a buttery, salty-sweet popcorn and caramelized vanilla. Subtle notes of semi-sweet decomposing autumn leaves linger in the background, gently enveloped by the airy softness of a fog-making machine.
King’s Jester — Leather, rum, and royal tales pay homage to a punk band with a similar name.
Macabre — Ebony woods, powder, and gothic florals accompanied by rich amber and spicy clove for a dark and delicious scent.
NSFRTÅ (Nosferato/u) — A dark and ethereal perfume, perfect for those who love rich, complex, and daring scents. It should feel like stepping into the chilling embrace of a forgotten abbey, where danger and temptation intertwine.
Obsidian Apple — Crisp apple intertwined with gentle green notes and a hint of amber.
Old Library — Leather-bound old books with powdery fragile papers, ancient wooden bookshelves, medieval monastery aura. Unchanged essence, now richer and deeper with softer accords.
Purple Veil — Soft powdery florals, smoky resin, and white musk with a subtle incense touch. A "nutty" entrance gives way to a melancholic story of a young bride meeting her elderly arranged husband.
Witching Hour — Earthy and warm with a dark chocolate note, it settles into hints of autumn leaves and occasionally a fleeting forest mushroom scent, leading to a rich, velvety wood dry-down.
Yaga — A mysterious blend of pine and currant, evoking a fresh, zesty walk through a shadowed forest. Green, fruity, and untamed.

I am honestly blown away by the quality and creativity of these fragrances! I absolutely fell in love with NSFRTÅ, Haunted Circus, Purple Veil, and Black Pearl! I am actually planning to purchase full bottles of all of these!!! Normally, when I try a discovery set of a new perfume brand, I am lucky if I end up liking at least one of the scents. This time, most of them were at least interesting, four of them became my absolute new love, and only one of them clashed with my skin chemistry and didn't work for me (Gothica). Especially, I adore Black Pearl! I don't like coconut in fragrances, but here it's just amazing! And that smooth dry leather, and the dried fruit! I love it so much! I highly recommend Dark Tales, it is now of my new favorite brands!
The set was gorgeous and stylish. I could recognize their story from the scents. I especially fell in love with the Aurora Borealis fragrance and ordered it. 🖤
All sets I've ordered, each fragrance - have their very specific idea and vibe. That's definitely not for everyone. But for those who value exactly that dark and brave undertone - that would be a revelation.
Totally recommend, if you're looking for something authentic. If your choice is popular lux products - probably not.
I ordered the sample set as my first order and I wasn't disappointed! All the scents are so unique that it was hard to decide which one I liked best. Highly recommend!
