Nevermore

f you are looking for a black leather jacket type of leather scent…this is it. It smells like a black leather on a cold night in a moonlit garden full of night blooming flowers. There is an old fashioned fountain pen leaking in the inner pocket. The wearer has been trying their hand at Poe inspired lines of verse. The purple floral notes are not too intense and I would say they lean masculine anyway. This is one of my top two favorite leather scents.

Fresh raven tattoo on a skin of a goth

My expectations from the notes were: kitchen spices. In reality, none of that! On my skin, this is a scent of fresh ink, 100%, with the smoothness of leather and very light ethereal purple florals behind it. I have lots of tattoos, and for some reason, I cannot stop imagining skin with a fresh tattoo on it while smelling this. A tattoo of a raven. On a skin of a goth. This is one of the most goth scents I have tried, and I've tried a few... Gorgeous.

Baby Goths in the Moonlight

Opens with a startling blend of caraway and coriander, so strong I feel like I’ve shoved my nose in a spice drawer.

After that first punch passes, a little clean leather and iris emerge, and eventually it mellows into an amber-musky skin scent.

It’s interesting that this fragrance and Book of Shadows are so frequently compared, because they are entirely different to my nose.

The Raven is iris wrapped in a spiced new leather jacket. Book of Shadows is old crumbling pages covered in metal-tinged ink and bound in worn leather.

The Raven is goth-lite under an eclipse. Book of Shadows is an archaeologist pawing through old archives.

The Raven writes dramatic poetry with a feather quill. Book of Shadows is looking for the lost Ark.

Projection is mild after that first spice hit fades, and longevity is moderate. Completely unisex, live out your baby goth dreams.

I love a good ink scent.

And this is a good ink scent. Black ink on leather, with a subtle violet leaf. Not a Edgar Allan Poe's raven, but something Eric Draven could smell like (it only misses a rain accord to be Eric's perfect scent...)
It's giving goth vibes, I can't explain otherwise.

Alexa, play "Burns" by the Cure!

From a Dark Scriptorium

Gray eyes fogged by haze. The light of the lantern stretched in cool arcs, in circles over the desk. A lighthouse in the fog of memory, accompanying all the letters. Thoughts created in lost time. Black ink on parchment. Reality in a leather binding. A match that ignites for hours. Tarred paths through a smoking land. Birches from ash, drifting in the wind. The dark blossoms soon withered. The scent of the earth already on the wall. The black spices likely dried out. A few scraps of wallpaper made from tobacco leaf. A lampshade made of foliage. The rest of the scriptorium in darkness, in dust.
**
Alkemia, based in Amherst, Massachusetts, consistently offers astonishing fragrances far from the mainstream despite their high output of creations. The house produces both oils and EdPs in spray bottles.
"The Raven" opens with cool-spicy aromas of pepper and black cumin, lightly ethereal-green cardamom, as well as a herbaceous-leaf-like-earthy note of violet leaf, which remains subtly perceptible from then on. At the heart, a chord of metallic-herbaceous ink and smoky-sharp, birch-tarred leather dominates, with sulfurous matchstick notes also resonating, likely attributable to the sour ebony that emerges more distinctly in the base, together with an amber reminiscent of dry tobacco, beneath the smoky leather and earthy foliage.
"The Raven" is a smoky leather fragrance that, while sharpened by the ink and wood, is softened by the spices, flowers, and leaves, as well as the amber, veiled like through a glassy gaze. The scent of the dark scriptorium accompanies you moderately throughout the night.

This perfume smells like chewing on fennel seeds tastes.

At first I liked the archival aspect. But the sweetness was bothering me in a familiar way, then I realized: hair salon. And now that's all I smell.

Like cardamom stars
In green mists
Falling smoky blue birch shadows
On my wings of iris velvet
A vial of poison
In dark leather

In the green mist
delicate violet kisses
on dark leather.
I paint in the cellar
walls black.
I shape iris flowers
from smoke.
They glow
cardamom-colored...
