Ash has been working with us for TEN YEARS, beginning as an illustration artist and then quickly taking over as designer. Ash brings a delicate structure and soft gothic mood to every detail. And if you know her, you know this mysterious perfection is imprinted in everything she touches. Her Chicago apartment, her Ikebana arrangements, her black cats snuggled into her layers of black clothing, and her Japanese roots surfacing throughout her nature-inspired style.

Soon we will also be re-releasing the Botanical Oracle deck, featuring 53 illustrations Ash originally created for our limited edition lunar perfumes.
We can’t wait for you to see the re-vamped packaging.

Happy friendaversary/workaversary to a muse -and- artist 🖤

This organic vanilla absolute has been aged for 17 years and we refined it into a smooth, easy to roll on dilution. The caramelized indulgence melds beautifully into other scents or alone imprints the skin with a gourmande Crème brûlée warmth.

We don’t know how long we will be able to source this particular batch of vanilla and will eventually switch to fresh extractions but it is nice to have something so dark and smoothed around the edges in an aged oil.

This is one of our many attempts to recapture the late 90’s. A soft, black micro rib baby tee with Ash’s stunning ladyslipper orchid design printed in silver shimmer ink.

Our preference for a true-to-life sensory experience does not end with the perfume. We do not use AI to generate our imagery and everything you see from us is a real photograph or hand-drawn illustration. Every word on our website, newsletter, and media is personally written by Jill, the perfumer. Every email is carefully read and thoughtfully responded to by Tara and original designs are created by Ash. We do not find AI technology to be a replacement for art, style, design, or communication. We hope you recognize the immense effort it requires to maintain this and ask that you appreciate the slower nature of receiving responses directly from us.

Black Licorice is a polarizing essence fully embraced in this strange perfume. An herbal accord combines licorice root with its sister herbs of star anise, fennel, and tarragon—all of which contain the recognizable Anethole compound. A resinous heart of aged patchouli and labdanum extend the sweet, earthy undertones while a dark layer of immortelle and davana anchor the addictive bite of this intimidating candy.

Happy New Moon 🖤

The new moon is back on Sunday and this limited edition release is a divisive one. It actually turned out very nice with a heavy hit of Davana, but the name alone might make this unpopular. We’ll see…

CEREMONY is for the incense lovers. The highest quality frankincense burns on charcoal while sandalwood and blood cedar create a dark, protective base. The embers glow with the most treasured aromatics dating back to ancient civilizations.
