Conservatory of Confections 🌈

Step into a gilded Victorian conservatory where sugared air swirls with the warmth of fresh pastries. Conservatory of Confections is a decadent blend of spiced cinnamon, buttercream, and rich vanilla, layered over tender cake and sweet almond. Notes of coconut and cream cheese frosting complete this indulgence, evoking the irresistible comfort of cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven. A gourmand masterpiece that lingers long after the last bite.

The Mourning Room 🌈

A chamber steeped in ritual and quiet reflection, The Mourning Room wraps you in spiced shadows and soft candlelight. Top notes of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg awaken into a heart of pumpkin and cherry blossom, layered over sweet vanilla and sensual musk. Both comforting and reverent, this exclusive fragrance blends the spice of autumn with a whisper of floral melancholy.

Maple Hollow 🌈

Journey into Maple Hollow, where autumn’s golden light filters through sugar maples and the air is heavy with the aroma of warm bread and sticky syrup. Buttered maple, caramelized sugar, and cinnamon custard melt into sourdough and vanilla, while playful accents of coconut, lemon, and frosted vanilla cake dance at its edges. The perfect marriage of rustic hearth and festive indulgence.

The Velvet Gourd 🌈

A candlelit banquet of velvet shadows and gilded spice, The Velvet Gourd reimagines pumpkin with rare sophistication. Notes of pumpkin vine, clove, and cinnamon entwine with smoky embers, moss, and caramel. Creamy coconut, sugared vanilla, and a touch of jasmine linger over amber, patchouli, and musk. Luxurious and indulgent, this fragrance transforms the familiar pumpkin into an opulent Gothic feast.

Harvest at Midnight

Harvest at Midnight captures the spectral glow of orchard moons and autumn fires. Zesty orange peel and tart cranberries simmer with spiced clove and cinnamon, all resting on warm, yeasted bread. Both comforting and sharp, it is the fleeting taste of fall’s last harvest before the frost settles in.

The Haunted Forest

Step into the spectral hush of The Haunted Forest, where twilight mist gathers among oak and moss. Notes of orange and grapefruit spark against lavender and apple, grounded by amber and deep woods. A fragrance of mystery and stillness, infused with natural orange oil, it evokes the eternal bond between earth and spirit.

The Forbidden Orchard

The Forbidden Orchard tempts with fruit both lush and dangerous. Sparkling citrus and spiced apple beckon, unfolding into crushed rose, green leaves, and clove. At its heart lies a decadent base of scarlet peach, sugared vanilla, and raspberry jam. Sweet yet shadowed, this fragrance embodies temptation, secrecy, and the thrill of the forbidden.

Mausoleum Mist 🌈

Ethereal and haunting, Mausoleum Mist drifts through marble corridors and shadowed gardens. Bracing notes of cypress, sea salt, and citrus open into pine, iris, and orchid. A base of cedar, sandalwood, musk, and tobacco leaf lingers with solemn richness. Both aquatic and earthy, this exclusive fragrance captures the stillness of stone and the timeless breath of nature reclaiming the forgotten.
