NOCTURN

I could see Neve Campbell's character in The Craft, Bonnie Harper, wearing this. Or BTSO releasing something similar. Per the brand, "This is the taste of a clove cigarette in the back of the club. This is sexy goth girl laundry. Unique, dark, clean and also dirty.". This is a very accurate image. Immediately, with the first spray you get smoky plum, not clean smoke, cigarettes old and new and plum that is both fresh and almost over-ripe, a tinge of sour. Patchouli that is a little musty and a litte sweet, the dried sweat and cosmetics after a night of dancing. And somehow it works. The plum lingers under the spicy clove and changing smoke, not quite fruity, the gorgeous goth girl with a wicked grin. I'm quite enamored with the fragrance. Not blind-buy or office safe, unless you don't work in corporate/adjacent. Solid longevity and projection, not kicking you in the teeth or choking a room, but certainly noticeable.

This fragrance made me HAPPY! As a Goth kid in

This fragrance made me HAPPY! As a Goth kid back in my late teens and early 20's I can definitely say that this captures everything... including the cheeky nod to clove cigarettes! I am still attracted to dark/smokey scents and this didn't disappoint. I can't wait to try more of these fragrances! And I'm always happy to support small businesses back in my beloved Maryland.

Although this one didnt work for me, my friend lover it so much that i gave it to her. I am moving away and she will think of me when she wears it. To me it lives in the same genre as heretic perfumes- which i mean in a complimentary way. Although for me, this fragrance was much more accessible.
