SPIRITUS OBSCURUS | INCENSE BLEND | ALCHEMIST'S DUNGEON

Alchemist’s Dungeon is a side project by Dark Tales — a return to our origins, where oil and wax-based scents draw inspiration from witchcraft and alchemy.

Crafted entirely from 100% natural ingredients, these creations are not made for fashion but for ritual, meditation, and reflection.

Each potion is designed to accompany personal rites, creative practice, or to scent and sanctify your sacred space.

A journey back to the roots of aromatic craft — where scent becomes ritual, and alchemy stirs within every drop.

What is an Incense Blend and how to use it?

Incense has been used for centuries as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual — a vessel of transformation, purification, and sacred intent. As its smoke rises, it is said to cleanse the air, release stagnant energy, and awaken inner clarity. Each blend is crafted from natural resins, herbs, and botanicals, created to accompany meditation, ritual, or creative practice. It is a quiet offering to the unseen — a moment of grounding, reflection, and connection.

Instructions:
Use on hot charcoal for an intense smoke (refresh often as it burns quickly), on an incense burner with a heating element under a metal plate for a gentler heated diffusion, or dry on a small plate for the most delicate scent. Best results when heated.

• SPIRITUS OBSCURUS • 

Dark Spirit — a shadowed incense blend with a solemn, sacred presence: resinous, spiced, and quietly commanding.

It opens with deep frankincense darkness and warm, bitter resins, like old stone corridors and midnight air. A restrained spice thread moves through the smoke, giving it structure and gravitas rather than sweetness — a dark perfume for the room, not a bonfire.

In alchemical terms, this is Spirit distilled in shadow: a blend for sealing the atmosphere, strengthening boundaries, and entering focused stillness — the kind of darkness that clarifies, protects, and keeps your mind steady.

Volume: 60 ml.

Vessel: Antique apothecary bottle sourced from Czechia—an old heartland of alchemy.
