NEW City of the Dead Perfume Parfum Oil or Spray | Fragrance | Gothic | Petrichor Stone Spanish Moss Fresh Dirt | New Orleans French Quarter

City of the Dead
An invocation of the forgotten and the forbidden.

In the sultry air of New Orleans, where the line between the living and the dead blurs into a single, eternal rhythm, City of the Dead is a fragrance that channels the eerie, mystical essence of a city steeped in mystery. It is a scent forged from the earth, the sky, and the forgotten souls that linger between both.

The journey begins with the grounding depth of freshly turned earth, rich and dark, like the soil that holds the secrets of the dead. It carries the weight of history, of graves long forgotten, where the restless spirits of New Orleans stir beneath the cracked tombstones. There's an almost reverential sense to this note—a quiet, haunting invitation to remember what has been buried, to honor what has passed.

As the scent begins to unfold, the delicate essence of petrichor rises—fresh and alive, like the first rain after a long, oppressive summer. It’s the smell of a storm breaking over the land, the earth breathing deeply once more, the city exhaling in unison with the restless spirits it holds. The petrichor acts as a bridge between the worlds, evoking the calm before a spiritual storm, a cleansing moment when the air tastes of renewal and forgotten histories begin to surface.

From the moss-draped trees of the bayou comes the mournful, ethereal scent of Spanish moss. Draped like a veil over the city, this note carries the soft, ghostly sweetness of time itself. It's the quiet, pervasive feeling of being watched by unseen eyes, the sensation that something ancient is very much alive in the spaces between shadows. Spanish moss flutters in the breeze, whispering the names of those long gone, and in this fragrance, it gives a faintly sweet and melancholic tone, as though the spirits of the past have left their imprint on the air, ready to rise once more.

Finally, there is the scent of stone—cool, timeless, and unyielding. It evokes the crumbling, weathered tombs that have withstood centuries of storms and sun, holding their secrets beneath layers of lichen and dust. It’s the scent of a city that is both decaying and eternal, where the passage of time is both a blessing and a curse. The stone is the anchor to this scent, reminding you that beneath the beauty and allure of New Orleans lies a darker, older truth—one that calls to those who are willing to listen.

City of the Dead is a fragrance for those who dwell in the space between light and shadow, life and death. It’s for the seekers, the believers, and those who feel the pull of the forgotten. This is not just a perfume; it’s a journey—a sensory experience of what it means to be caught between two worlds, lingering on the edge of what is seen and unseen, alive and beyond. It’s a scent that clings to your skin like a memory, like a warning. Once it touches you, you will never be the same.

Directions:

For the body oil: apply to wrists and other pulse points. As your body heat warms up the oil, the scent will release. Oil based fragrances are heavier than sprays and wear closer to your body. Reapply as often as needed. We use light dry oils so that the oil base absorbs more quickly into your skin, leaving no oily or sticky residue.

For the spray: our sprays are alcohol based for a larger burst of fragrance upon applying. We do not use any synthetic additives in our products to increase longevity of our scents (making our products more natural for you to wear), so please reapply as needed. Please note: some people are more sensitive to alcohol based products, please test prior to normal use.
