We Have Always Lived In The Castle

We Have Always Lived In The Castle

By: The Little Book Eater

General Notes

  • black coffee
  • nutmeg
  • sandalwood
  • smoke
  • sugared blackberries

This fragrance is inspired by the unsettling mystery novel by Shirley Jackson. Made with the scents of black coffee, nutmeg, sugared blackberries (no arsenic included!), sandalwood, and smoke. Fruity, dark, smoky, and musty. Reminiscent of walking through town, dining at Blackwood Manor, and house fires. The perfect combination for poetic introversion and finding happiness in strange and fantastical things!
