"Very interesting and appealing scent from my limited experience! The opening is delicious. For me, it evokes imagery of church pews, incense, old, brick castles, and leather books. Haunting and somewhat gothic. I remember thinking it smelled ethereal. Very gender neutral. It is unfortunately incompatible with my skin chemistry, so I’m unsure how it’s supposed to read once it’s fully bloomed on skin. To solve this problem, I’m spraying it on my clothes instead. Be mindful of the indolic base notes. If you know those notes don’t work for your skin chemistry, manage your expectations before buying. Personally, I still think the opening is worth it. For those who don’t know, indolic notes are polarizing. They react very differently depending on who’s wearing them, and people end up either loving them or hating them. Might be smart to buy a sample first."

"sooo much depth to this. opens up with the smell of lowkey like grandma perfume, then opens up into dark incense, warm musk, and bright florals. reminiscent of a combination of nosferatu, coeur noir, and dirty patchouli by heretic. love the atomizer. like a catholic church. gorgeous"
"Smells pretty good but I expected more, its kinda plain but NOT bad at all"
stay all day!
"Okay, gonna open with the negative: mini purse spray? TERRIBLE packaging. Both the Haunted Souls and Leather mini purse sprays leaked; not enough that there's noticeable missing product but every single spray was sticky and smelled like those two. I expect better packaging from such a well-established brand, especially on a product that's intended for travel. The scent itself is amazing. It smells incredibly similar to another perfume or cologne I've smelled but couldn't place it. If you're worried about reviews that mention an alcohol scent, don't be - that's what happens when you sniff any of them straight from the bottle. It dissipates in seconds after spraying. I had to wash all my bottles, and I sprayed this one on my towel to check the scent - it's been 3 days and I can still smell it! It mellows really nicely into an almost dusty or powdery version of itself, where the myrrh is the most noticeable for me. I also got Myrrh to combine with it (Myrrh? Myrrh-DER!) and I think Myrrh, Haunted Souls + a touch of Earthworm will give a perfect "old church basement" kind of vibe."
"Okay smell"
"This scent is incredibly strong, I had to get it off my skin before I got a headache. The scent profile in theory sounded amazing, but there's a really strong foreground smell that I just really wasn't digging. If this smell had been half the intensity I may have liked this one better. Hoping my dad will like this one as I'll be gifting it away."
let it macerate?
"when i first got this perfume probably about a year ago now, i thought it smelled way too masculine and it had a slight sulfur smell to it. after going back and applying it now, it smells a lot more gender neutral and i'm bot smelling that sulfur smell anymore."
"smells clean in a strange way and familiar"
Ancient but also somehow youthful
"I wasn’t sure when I first smelled it but now I’m obsessed. (I’m not a huge fan of patchouli but I don’t think it’s as strong as the other reviewers seem to. ) Imagine you’re wandering through the woods and you walk into an old abandoned church that still smells like perfume from a long time ago. That’s what this reminds me of. Incredible longevity. Love to spray it on my sheets and PJs. Blind bought the tiny size but will definitely get more once it runs out."
Rich and grey like the
"Rich and grey like the worn stones of an Irish castle after the rain. The clouds clear just long enough to allow the sunlight to shine and produce perfect mirrors in the fresh puddles."
