Gravedigger's Song + Jaguar Heart + Halloween oldies
THE JAGUAR HEART COLLECTION
Chalchiuhtlicue: (NEW) She of the jade skirt. Goddess of storms, oceans, rivers, and streams, she once ate the sun and moon. Fine bergamot, Pacific mist, mermaid silk, soft ambergris accord, blood orange cotton candy, white iris, wild herbs, and sea salt. A citrus-aquatic which is equally balanced between sugary and fresh.Â
Perfumer's Note: We based our soft ambergris accord around something called Orcanox, a wonderfully rich, sweet, complex, vanilla version of salty Ambroxan.
Coatlicue: (NEW) As the fearsome mother of Quetzalcoatl, she rules fertility, agriculture, and strength, and wears a necklace of human skulls, hearts, and hands. Loamy black earth with growling animalic notes, untamed musk, Autumnal yellow tagetes, ambery woods, fresh huitlacoche, and our handmade calendula infusion. An earthy animalic.
Perfumer's Note: Coatlicue contains the calendula infusion which we created in a recent video.
Metztli: (NEW) The ethereal Aztec goddess of the moon is an expert weaver who clothes herself in stardust. Vanilla absolutes from Tahiti and Madagascar with plumes of gossamer musk, soft lunar silk, pale velvety amber, white chocolate, and a drop of sugar. An elegant vanilla gourmand with sheer musk.
Perfumer's Note: For Metztli we used natural vanilla absolutes, materials which can be somewhat extravagant for indie perfume, but they are more than worth their cost. Metztli is very gourmand but is more of a cool gourmand than a dessert scent.
Oxomoco: (NEW) First Woman. She protects fortune tellers and midwives as she rules over astrology, calendars, and divination. Sumptuous curls of incense with coconut husks, our handmade frankincense smoke enfleurage, creamy musk, woody amber, and coconut milk. A woody, smoky incense scent with coconut milk nuances.
Perfumer's Note: Oxomoco contains the frankincense smoke enfleurage which we created in a recent video.Â
Quetzalcoatl: (NEW) The essence of sacred joy. As the feathered serpent god of life, peace, dawn, and the creation of the world, he is the compassionate savior of mankind, and his skin smells of sunshine. Omani frankincense resin, bright passionfruit, pink grapefruit, sweet coconut, organic lemon essence, warm, woody Sylvamber, and the rays of the sun. A vibrantly fruity resinous scent.
Perfumer's Note: The frankincense in Quetzalcoatl is not frankincense smoke, as can be found in scents such as Holy Terror. This is natural, unburned frankincense resin fresh from the tree: pure, sweet, high, and balsamic (in the perfume sense, not the vinegar sense), with little hints of citrus and conifer. We emphasized the citrus nuances in the frankincense with a bit of organic lemon. Our concept for this scent was the brightest, happiest energy encased in the holiest and most serious rituals.Â
Tezcatlipoca: (NEW) Hail Mountainheart, Jaguar god, lord of sorcery, ruler of the night sky, king of hurricanes! An opening of toasted pumpkin, bittersweet chocolate, and ground cinnamon gives way to dark heartwood, Mexican vanilla, benzoin, cherry infused caramel, and blonde woods. A gourmand atmospheric.
Perfumer's Note: Tezcatlipoca contains a small dose of Clearwood, which is basically the good aspects of patchouli (eg: softly spiced incense) without any of patch's so-called difficult aspects such as rubbery or dirty notes.Â
Xochipilli: (NEW) Flower Prince. This playful, fun loving deity of art, dance, pleasure, flowers, and feasts always throws the best parties. French vanilla, satiny skin, milky sandalwood, fluffy clouds, and ivory amber, with melted beeswax and wild honey swirled through sacred jasmine petals. A purring, subtly honeyed, lightly jasmined skin scent.
Perfumer's Note: The cool French vanilla base of this is somewhat similar to Infinite Sky (plus jasmine sambac and honey).
Wolfling: (Returning) An innocently feral opening of sweet marzipan and wild cherry leads to a heart of warm cardamom, sugared vanilla beans, soft wolfing fur, Cashmeran, and gentle gourmand musk. A softly musky, almondy, "your skin but better" scent with vanilla.
.  Â
Our best. The creme de la creme of Arcana Wildcraft.Â
Gráinne Mhaol: The Dark Lady of Doona was a fierce, rebellious, passionate seafarer. An opening of cold apples and wild harvested seaweed gives way to a heart of deep Irish cedarwood, damp incense, a coniferous forest of wild yew and pine, billowing salt-encrusted sails, sheer Ambroxan, white clover blossoms, and a bit of brown musk. A coniferous, woody aquatic with a cold apple accord.Â
Holy Terror: There are utterly somber and fearsome spirits which are known to haunt certain long-deserted chapels, monasteries, and abbeys. An unsettling, austere blend of burning frankincense, sandalwood, deep myrrh, and dusty beeswax candles. An incense-laced atmospheric.Â
Nectar: The deepest longing for sunshine, long warm days, and peace in our time. Ripe, plump blackberries and creme de cassis with sheer, summery georgette, cold swirls of vanilla ice cream, a tuft of tender lambswool, and a field of softly blooming sunflowers on a nearby hillside. A sweet fruit scent with hints of wool and silk.Â
On the Wing: Creamy white amber, velvety cashmere, shimmering silk voile, salty Orcanox, and diaphanous musk. A sheer, airy, yet strong and concentrated skin scent.
Perfumer's Note: On the Wing is our fancy flanker of Moth-Like Stars. We used the same formula but replaced some of MLS's raw materials with more luxurious versions. For instance, OTW replaces MLS's cozy Cashmeran with Cashmeran Velvet, MLS's salty Ambroxan with sweet, complex (but still salty) Orcanox, and MLS's lovely Iso E Super with gorgeous, sophisticated Orbitone.
Puck: AÂ rich amber accord (labdanum, benzoin, and sweet Tahitian vanilla) is warmed with velvety plum, ripe fig, layers of incense, cedar resin, incantations on old parchment, and soft woods. Â A resinous amber with plum nuances and a long vanillic drydown.
Perfumer's Note: If you tried Nott from our Hel's Belles collection, Puck uses a softer, gentler labdanum than Nott. However, Puck is the more animalic of the two scents.
Queen Mab: She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep. (William Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet)
The mysterious queen of the fae realm is whimsical, provocative, and full of dark powers. Intoxicating orange blossoms with marshmallow pillows, narcotic petitgrain, creamy coconut milk, wild harvested bitter orange, Tahitian vanilla, and feathery ylang ylang petals. A creamy floral with plenty of coconut and a bit of citrus.Â
Sagittarius: This famous archery loving centaur was identified in the night sky in the 2nd century by Ptolemy. A rich blend of warm woods, benzoin resin, sacred incense, bittersweet Peruvian chocolate, dark amber, cedarwood shards, and black Mexican vanilla. A woody, resinous atmospheric with plenty of dark chocolate and incense.
Titania: Summer storms and cotton candy with a mischievous, feminine array of heart notes: spruce tips, pink pepper, forest mosses, Tahitian vanilla, and morning dew. A sweet gourmand with salty Ambroxan and pink pepper nuances.
Â
Antediluvians are our old scents. Some have retired to this section long term, while others are in the process of being discontinued. Scents being discontinued state that in the individual listings. No samples will be offered for Antediluvians.
Bonfires at Dusk:Â Woodsmoke, sweet beeswax, Oregon lavender, sandalwood, charred juniper, and the scent of swiftly appearing stars.
Filthy Viking:Â Between the sea voyages and the pillaging, it must have been difficult for Odin's henchmen to stay fresh. Too bad they didn't have this ferocious blend of scents from the Viking world: bracing Norwegian juniper, frigid Icelandic mint, and the hardy wood of a longship.
Moth-Like Stars: Creamy white amber, elegant cashmere, soft silk voile, salty Ambroxan, and diaphanous musk. A sheer, airy, yet strong and concentrated skin scent. ***Moth-Like Stars will be discontinued when our current stock sells out.***Â
