Ashes Ashes We All Fall Down
This fragrance is inspired by the Ossuaries of Europe. Ossuaries are chambers for storing human bones when cemeteries were overcrowded and burial space was scarce. Displaying and maintaining the bones of the deceased was once a way to honor the dead. If this fragrance is inspired by Ossuaries then I believe this one is specifically inspired by the mass crypts that were made to house the bones of the ten of thousand of plague victims. This fragrance reminds me of the smell of ashes. Its like the remains after a fire but its been so long the smell of smoke it gone and you have just the black and powdery remains. Then someone comes to collect those remains into a wooden box, the wood is uncured. While people used to have a pocket full of posies to mask the smell, I instead pick up a slightly powdery floral scent.

This is a very light fragrance, almost too light to detect but suddenly you would catch your scent trail. This fragrance only lasted about 3 hours for me. There are two sizes available starting at 9ml for $35 and 50ml for $130.

La Curie / Ossuary
Beautiful catacombs sound.
Ossuaries, skeleton

A fragrance inspired by the ossuaries of Europe, i.e. rooms and containers where the ashes and bones of the deceased were kept. Sounds weird, doesn't it?

The smell, on the other hand, is woody and incense. We can smell here mainly burned palo santo wood, charred and slightly musty, dusty pieces of wood. Another notes that combine with the above notes and add a slightly powdery and balsamic feel are the roots of the iris combined with the violet…. Wilted violet. As you can see, we have a lot of passing away and dying away in this perfume, but the smell ... the fragrance is really unique and completely wearable. I believe that the name, ossuary patterns and ingredients sound on DARK paper and it is a bit like that ... but a truly unique work has been created, it is fully wearable, attractive, beautiful and unique in its perception. Aaaaa, the fragrance will definitely suit a party in gothic rock style, or other events where black harmonizes with mysterious surroundings and heavier playing. I RECOMMEND.

Medium level projection and durability.

Ingredients: iris root, wilted violets, charred wood, Dalmatian iris, incense, palo santo, respect

Smells like impending arson at first, but settles to an ashy floral.
