Carmilla

The first time I wore this I was waxing poetic in my perfume journal about erotica and menstrual blood. Which isn't to say this is bloody - blood isn't listed on the perfumer's site and I don’t pick up any metallic notes like others have. But what this *does* is suffocate me with rich sweetness, much like Carmilla suffocating Laura. I have a love/hate relationship with this - it's too cloying, it's just heavy enough; it's not nice to smell, it's all I want to stick my nose in; it's cough syrupy, it's rich fruits, spice, and dying roses. It's perfect for Carmilla.

Received in a traveling sample box and fell in love at first sniff. It's a dark, realistic-cherry scent without the cloying cough medicine that sometimes pops up with cherry. There's a light spiciness that warms up as it dries down, becoming a little heavier. I wore it before doing light yard work in the hot summer and realized it was probably more suitable for Fall/Winter as the scent got stronger. Love that this house creates their scents based on books/characters, too.

it really does smelll like you're a super hot vampire... very sweet and alluring at first and dries down into something much more spicy. also the blood note does come through a bit in this eerie metallic way? it really smells like you're something supernatural masquerading as human lol i love it!!!

I really like this scent! It smells sweet but aged, like something out of my grandmothers cabinet. It definitely reminds me of Carmilla, but I kinda wish the blood notes stood out more. It's honestly one of my favorite perfumes to layer, because its so simple.

Carmilla smells like a vampire sipping mulled whine in her lair/boudoir. It is the warm and spicy counterpart to Bloody Wood from Les Liquides Imaginaires.
