Opium for the Undead Folk
"Vampyre's Romance" is quite a simple, aggressive, heavy patchouli bomb that fits well with its Nosferatu theme and takes no prisoners.

A Lost Boy with a guilty conscience. Fright Night takes on a rather sensual twist here. Between impending darkness and Bram Stoker, between opium den and blood puddle, between family crypt and romanticized diaries. Longing meets sex. A nightshade plant from hippies to goths, from glitter to bat people. Addiction and migraine are here, for my head, my nose, very elaborately flirting. Let the right one in. Or the wrong one - but then you'll need enough crosses, garlic, and krautrock. A juicy cherry on the cake made from the flesh of virgins.

Bottle: black and simplest
Sillage: fills every crypt
Longevity: until sunrise - 12 hours

Conclusion: "Vampyre's Romance" is just as much Edward as Kinski, maybe even more, but fundamentally it is a damn groovy and gothic patchouli bomb that can take your breath away with a biting and slightly erotic touch.

Very dark, spicy... GOOD!
By now, I have "already" written almost 10 comments here about fragrances that I have taken a closer look at; my collection officially contains 3 fragrances...
I just got quite a shock when I walked past my shelf and saw my patchouli - which belongs there, just like the Bible does in someone else's nightstand or the dictionary on a desk.

This is not really a perfume in the conventional sense; many oils for the fragrance lamp are more complex.

Vampryre's Romance actually contains only natural patchouli oil - okay, and a bit of opium. Although I had been convinced for years that it was incense, which I could never quite smell. Now I know why.
When I bought it, I must have confused the perfume by name; I actually wanted the one with incense.
Now I'm a bit confused, as I can't separate the opium scent from the patchouli experience.
I must say that I know this scent in all its variations.

This patchouli here is of high quality, natural, correspondingly powerful, long-lasting, heavy, earthy - and that's why it's incredibly beautiful to me.
Perhaps it's thanks to the opium that this patchouli reminds me more of a warm clay pot with spicy, dry earth than a musty cemetery?

Anyone who knows patchouli only from commercial mixtures should brace themselves: This one is in a whole different league.
Although I love the scent, I "had to" stretch it (ratio of 6 Eth. to 1 perfume, if I remember correctly). With just one spray of this mixture, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, notices that I am wearing patchouli.

To conclude, here’s a sentence that could have also been at the beginning:
So, now I am 23, and one cannot deny that this is THE perfume of my youth... :D
Well, that's not entirely true; I only wore it regularly for a while, and there's still plenty left! ;)
(To give you an idea: My mixture (150ml) is just over half used, the original bottle is still about two-thirds full!)

It’s not necessarily an everyday scent, that’s clear, but what it is, it is in perfection, and on top of that, it’s cruelty-free, 100% natural, and absolutely affordable. I would give it full marks even without a "shared past"! :)

Fruit-scented tree à LA VANILLE NOIR (Devil's Kitchen). Cheap, artificial. Later, the patchouli comes through better, but by then the vampire is already gone...
