Darbla Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I mentioned recently how I love WSP's Black Rose & Spice and how it has kind of a gothic feel to me. What else would you put in that category? Think vampires, spooky dark nights, long and lacy black gowns, and leannán sídhe or dark fairies communing in a midnight forest under a full moon, and tell me what FOs put you in mind of that.

Candybee Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Definitely Witches Brew, Gypsy Rose, Goddess, Merlin's Forest, Teakwood, anything with patchouli. Also resins like amber, frankincense. Those are off the top of my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebleo Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 CS Black Currant Absinthe LS Midnight Moon NG Absinthe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 This is MY personal favorite lane, lol any wood or combo of woods resins like ambers, dark vanillas, dragons blood, Myrrh, frankincense deep florals like jasmine leaves musks absinthe IF it’s not candy like. NG, for example, smells like gumdrops. Real absinthe is woody and herbal with fennel, wormwood, etc Herbals spices blends of all all of the above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebleo Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 @TallTayl I’m surprised you say NG Absinthe smells like gumdrops. They describe the notes to include: star anise, fennel, cinnamon, woods, and amber. To me it is nothing but woodsy and herbal! Do you have another that you find more woodsy and herbal bc I would love to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blend my own referencing a recipe for the drink. Faire sells absinthe so we smell like the drink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasllyn Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Anything with dirt. Dirt and dark fruit. Dirt and roses is dark. It's hard to get darker than death, so maybe you could make something morbid-sounding. Amber and patchouli, myrrh, dragon's blood, bourbon, tobacco- mix any of those and add some dirt! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 NG's Vamp Vogue, something about that one is dark and yet ozone and green at the same time. Nurture Soap's High Priest, earthy and ritualistic. Mmmm, love that one! Not sure what it's a dupe of, but I'm sure it's a dupe of something! Definitely the classics like Witches Brew, Dragon's Blood, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen M Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 One time a supplier sold vanilla voodoo, maybe it was NG. That might be a little dark. Another on that is good, and you could change the name, is CC sultry angel, I love this but it could be a dark scent. maybe call it Fallen Angel. Love everyone's ideas too.

Darbla Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 I was looking up datura scents the other day and landed on an interesting article (link below). Do any of you know if that is a note in any FOs? If not I may just invent or rename something. I place datura in the " goth " category so it goes in this thread. https://www.fragrantica.com/notes/Datura-378.html On a related note, do any of you have any Angel Trumpets in your yard? I've wanted some for years but haven't gotten any. My soil here is so bad it'd probably be a PITA to get one established so I didn't have to mollycoddle it every week.
