So Goths smell like a Lush store? I mean, totally cool if they do, but not what I was imagining when I sprayed the fragrance. I went in blind and was expecting leather and lipstick, maybe, but instead there's jasmine and patchouli, blended with some incense that yep, really reminds me of Lush soap, and if you want to smell like Lush soap, may as well just go to Lush. It's a pretty scent, but not very goth.... maybe gothic in that it's old-timey, maybe a bit Georgian in an abstract way, not in a literal way. It's easier to imagine a Jane Austen character wearing this, than an actual Goth teen of today.

If you're a fan of Rose 31, then this is another way to enjoy the fragrance. The oil is rich, with lots of sillage and lasting power with even one drop. Unlike other fragrance oils, this is not one that you want to use lots of all over your body. It's meant to be used like a perfume, and used sparingly - a dab here or there. I usually apply on my wrists and can smell it for the entire day.

All the characteristics of the EDP are there - the cumin and the rose - but in an oil.
