SAMPLES TO CHOOSE (4 PCS):
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.

Every single one of these is work of art. Being someone who associate scents with places in space and time, these are my memories, my dreams and I am ready to explore more! Thank you very much!
Very small samples but a great way to try the different fragrances. Love them
i really love these! especially haunted circus and aurora borealis. these parfums are like a hug unlike these overwhelming parfums.
I really enjoyed unpacking and trying all the samples. I liked all of them in different ways, but I don’t think I’ve found the one I would buy a full bottle of yet.
Fern Valley was the first one I liked. It smelled fresh, but after a while it started to remind me of sweet cucumber. I wanted something a bit more woodsy, so it wasn’t quite for me.
Obsidian Apple reminded me of apple shampoo or an apple-scented candle. It’s a nice scent, but it felt a bit too simple for me. I can definitely see why someone else might really like it.
From the description, I thought Aurora Borealis would be exactly my kind of scent. I somehow expected it to be a bit like Light Blue, but it actually smells completely different. It just wasn’t what I expected.
I think Yaga was my favourite. The blackcurrant and pepper somehow give me a tree resin kind of smell. It’s woodsy, not sweet, and I really loved it.
The longevity was around 3–5 hours on my skin for these.
Overall, I really enjoyed trying all the samples. None of them was a full-bottle love for me (except maybe for Yaga, still thinking), but it was fun discovering them.
I tried Bloody Mary, Fern Valley, Haunted Circus, Purple Veil. I wanted to try very different scents as I have not tried many perfumes and don't really know what i like.
Haunted Circus was a instant favorite with the scent of rubber and caramel and it stayed on a long time. I will buy a bottle of this one.
Bloody Mary is my second favorite with a bit of metallic scent and a lot of incense. Sometimes I am a bit sensitive when it comes to stronger scents but I found myself really liking this one and it stayed on a long time. Might buy a bottle.
Fern Valley has a lot of basil and a bit of fern. Smell was fine but not for me.
Purple Veil is very powdery and flowery. Its a nice smell but not for me.
