The Honored Ghosts

ohh man, this one is sooo good. this is (so far) my favorite Alkemia scent next to Enigma straight from the bottle I got pure bubblegum which made me nervous but on my skin it opens with a really pretty and balanced blend of the rose, cream, raspberry and incense notes. As it dries down the rose and raspberry really mellow out and it's more just a sweet, slightly floral incense. I never really get any earl grey tea which is the whole reason I initially got the fragrance but it's too beautiful for me to mind! this one invokes images of a head-shop, autumn, and the color pink, simultaneously. :P

YUMMY!!! omg it smells so lovely!!! i dont smell any of the earl grey tea when wet, hopefully i can smell more of it when it dries down i think im getting more of the rosewater/amber and vanilla aspect of it, it reminds me of elixir of aphrodite as well a very sweet scent but its not overwhelming to me. my god im so glad i opened this one again i remember hating how it smelt when i first opened it a while ago would def get a full size of this!!

Found this fragrance through a Reddit thread of ‘perfumes that smell like a female horror game protagonist’ and i’d say that description is pretty spot on. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about this fragrance. I'm not sure if it’s the incense note giving it a church-like feel, but to me, this smells like a girl wearing fruity perfume while exploring an abandoned church haunted by ghosts (in the best way possible).

This is gorgeous. It smells clean and sweet at first then as it warms on the skin it opens up and the different notes start to peak out nicely, I smell every single note in perfect proportions. The black raspberry creme is so lovely. It has just the right amount of sweetness but I personally do like sweet perfumes, however the tea and other notes tone it back a bit and keep it tamed and refined.

Magic in a bottle. I can’t do this lovely fragrance justice. Honoured Ghosts is parts: rose Turkish delight, earl grey tea, vanilla and other spicy aromatics. It is rosy, sweet, spicy, warm and enveloping and lasts for hours on the skin. The earl grey tea is prominent for me. I have purchased many bottles - a love for me.

surprisingly this isnt that sweet and is more fruity. right under the fruitiness i get milkiness with vanilla, and then finally comes the sweetness. i dont think it should be the top accord!! this is a great sweet dessert gourmand for anyone that loves them but doesn't like how disgustingly sweet a lot of them are

This is an excellent perfume. It's unique, it's witchy, it's sweet but not too sweet, it's comforting, it's warm, it's green, it's spicy. Let it sit for a few weeks before forming an opinion- when it first arrived I rated it as "okay" but now trying it again it's a definite "love"!

I think I have a new favorite! I'm mostly hetting raspberry, rosewater and tea but the cream, honey, vanilla and incense are definitely there. It's not too sweet or cloying and it lasts long. Very feminine and witchy - I can imagine Stevie Nicks or Kate Bush wearing this.

My absolute favourite fragrance I've ever smelled. Someone recommended it to me on Reddit and I'm so grateful to them. Sweet, warm and spicy without being too much. I love that I can get away with wearing it in the summer. And it smells like the colour pink

this is genuinely my favorite scent ever and i would recommend this to anyone who even slightly enjoys raspberry gourmand smells. i wear this so frequently. i wear this in summer because i love it so much.

the most prominent notes here for me is the cinnamon and maybe the raspberry? its so lovely though its smoky, spicy, sexy... yum yum YUM.

This is my favorite perfume. I get mostly raspberry cream and incense and it's so good. I wish I could eat it and bathe in it.

Sweet, honey, raspberry notes with vanilla. Dries down nicely into an incense scent, but is maybe a little too powdery at times (could just be me though). I'd recommend this if you like sweet scents that have fruit but aren't overwhelmingly fruity.

This smells like walking into a New Age store where incense has infused everything. I barely noticed any scent except sweet incense. I think I'll let it sit for a few weeks and come back to it to see if other scents have settled into it.

I purchased a sample of this oil for the earl grey note, which I never detected. The scent did really evolve through the day, though. What started as a very fruity, rounded vanilla-adjacent sweetness pretty immediately opened into a fruity white floral for me. In the first few hours, from a distance, there’s a rose scent and a vague cleanness. Close up and warmed by the body, it’s creamy, sugary raspberry and rose. I tend to dislike sweet scents, and this was no exception. But I can appreciate that it’s a very well crafted oil that would be beloved by the right nose!

I tried to love it, but it gives me the most throbbing headache imaginable. The incense, raspberry cream, and amber all hit me at once upon application, and it is not pleasant on the senses. It's unfortunately too overpowering for my liking.

Really had high hopes for this one, but all I'm smelling is incense. I was really hoping the earl grey/raspberry notes would pop more. Not bad, but not unique enough for me to purchase a full size.

I've owned this perfume for a few months, but put off reviewing it because I tried over and over again to like it and I've finally accepted that it just doesn't work for me. I can't pick up any of the notes other than raspberry cream, and on my skin, the perfume is very generically sweet. It's the kind of perfume that's so sweet you'll get a headache if you spray too much. Everyone else seems to love this perfume. I wish I could too because I absolutely love the concept, but it smells like a forgettable B&BW scent to me.

for some reason in a lot of my alkemia samples i get a really strong almond/marzipan-y note? i get it pretty strong in this one. i think like with most of the other samples i got from them i may just need to let it macerate longer because i'm not huge on this at the moment. i mostly get the sweetness and lactonic notes, but with a hint of incense that reminds me of like... the inside of a witchy crystal shop. a bit overly sweet for my taste. i don't smell the tea at all which was disappointing.

I get a strong masculine, almost leathery fruit from this. It’s heavy, has an almost savory dimension. Certainly not my cup of (earl grey) tea.

Starts of with a strong incense-y smell accompanied with some soft whipped cream , as the perfume starts to dry down the incense dissappears quietly leaving this subtle smoky note , the raspberry note begins to appear too and add this smooth sweetness to the fading incense leaving behind a gentle sweet smoky smell that is heavenly. The thing that I quite disliked is the strong incense-y smell in the opening but fortunately it fades quickly , and I was also disappointed by not getting any earl Grey tea notes that I was so excited to smell. 8.5/10

gorgeous incense scent! definitely vintage botanica vibes. i do get the other notes listed, it’s just an incense version though. (ie cinnamon honey raspberry... incense) . so overall, this is a well blended, well done indie scent. i probably don’t wanna smell like this, but i love the smell, if that makes sense.

Basically everything I've been looking for in a fragrance, gothic, sweet and feminine, so divine.
