Easily my favorite from this house, and it's wild this doesn't have more reviews. The name is perfect for what you get - it's an herbal-citrus-incense laced with distant florals. It has this ethereal, stained-glass quality - sheer in presentation and weight, but it lasts all day and remains present the entire time. Sniffing closely and focusing, the basil and marjoram are by far the dominant notes; from there it's a tight blend of sheer resins, florals, citrus sparkle. If you smell this in the air, it's hard to pin down exactly what's going on, but it smells incredible. Haunting, literally and figuratively.

A spice cabinet in an abandoned house. So good. And a little spooky.

So far CL has been a very interesting house. I ordered a set of 6 samples and the two I like most are listed as "Unreleased" and not currently on the site. Out of the other four this one leads. Such a nice fragrance. Lasts several hours. It is comforting. However, the notes of myrrh, orris, lavender, and frankincense are favorites of mine. This is one that I may consider for the future. But I am Haunted that there may be something missing from it. Not sure what exactly. I also need to try others first. Some of the listed Unreleased items intrigue me, such as Lost In Time. For now the jury is still out on the ultimate selection. I do not yet know which one will be my favorite. As an extra touch, the creator has been very responsive and I appreciate the amount of detail provided on each fragrance.

the name and description of this perfume is exactly what i've been looking for! it doesn't sound like it will smell very pleasant tbh (though it might be), but i love interesting scents like this, especially spooky ones :D i need to try this!
