Apocalypse, but make it pretty
Alien Starcraft: (NEW) The essence of attractive offworld colonizers searching the galaxy for new opportunities and new friends. A seductive blend of bright bergamot, metal spacecraft accord, natural agarwood essence, warm cypriol heart, soft musk R1, coconut creme, and sweet amber.ย A fruity, sexy, woody oudh.
Fae Haven: (NEW) An ode to the faefolk finally getting to live in peace. Exuberant top notes of peach ice cream cones, orange flowers, white chocolate, and magnolia blossoms lead to a drydown of sheer, pretty musk, apple slices, fairy mounds, peach nectar, dewy rose petals, lily of the valley, and green grass.ย A peachy, fruity flourmand with a pretty musk drydown.
Perfumer's Note: Fae Haven does not contain Sugar Spider's Babydoll accord or Arcana Craves' Milk (Babydoll and Milk are the same scent).
Underwater Cities: (NEW) In an imaginary future without people, Earth's oceans cool and her coral reefs thrive. These beautiful living structures are like underwater cities, complete with majestic skylines, colorful characters, and dangerous dark alleys. An opening of our hand-extracted rosemary oil, sweet anise, and pure beeswax absolute leads to a heart of salt-encrusted Ambroxan, slanting sunbeams, sheer cedarwood, French seaweed absolute, and a touch of coastal wildflowers. A refreshing herbal aquatic with anise and honeyed beeswax.
Perfumer's Note: Underwater Cities contains the homegrown rosemary oil which we extracted in a recent video. UC is vegetarian and cruelty free, but (due to the beeswax absolute) it is not vegan.

Scents about love and equalityย
Love is Adventurous: The scent of rustic, romantic outdoor exploits. A bold blend of rainy Northwestern woods with juicy mango, ripe bergamot, aged leather, fir needles on damp earth, spruce bark, and ambery incense. A fruity, woody, robust atmospheric with hints of conifer.
SOLD OUT. Love is Legal: The essence of our beloved late fathers: distinguished gentlemen who were early adopters of legalized interracial marriage. Warm caramel melted over golden tobacco, glorious cypriol, Moroccan cardamom, French vanilla, Turbinado sugar crystals, Atlas cedarwood, rich toffee, Tonka bean, and dark spiced rum. A caramelized gourmand with a grandpa-core tobacco twist.
Love is Rainbows: The joyful quintessence of being exactly who you are. A bright, multicolored opening of juicy guava, pineapple, lemon, passion fruit and rhubarb leads to a heart of drenched green vines and a base of velvety forest mosses and amber resin. A cheerful fruit scent with mossy, dewy accents.ย
SOLD OUT. Love is Soft: Decadent mornings in a posh hotel suite with your lover. A kiss of silvery iris, gentle ivory musk, Egyptian cotton sheets, tiny violets, salty, sexy Ambroxan, and a whiff of pastries on a gleaming silver room service cart. An elegant iris-laced skin scent with pastry hints.ย
Love is Sweet: The traditionally romantic Valentine aromas of dark chocolate-covered cherries, plump Mexican vanilla beans, milk chocolate, silk lingerie, and candied rose petals. A chocolatey gourmand with cherry and a dash of rose.
Muse: Delicate, crisp lemon cookies, tart yuzu, velvet blankets, wild-harvested fir tips, warm stones in an ancient forest, sweet coconut water, and wild juniper.
SOLD OUT. Sugar: (Reformulated) An ode to affectionate nicknames. French vanilla ice cream, sweet cardamom, a tincture of Pacific sea salt, dark Tahitian vanilla, and wild harvested pine sap.
Touch: Golden honey on warm skin, soft brown leather, a baby lambswool sweater, floating layers of sheer silk, grey musk, and lightly smoked sap-frosted woods.

Our best. The creme de la creme of Arcana Wildcraft.ย
Grรกinne Mhaol: The Dark Lady of Doona was a fierce, rebellious, passionate seafarer.ย 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,ย billowing salt-encrusted sails, sheer Ambroxan, white clover blossoms, and a bit of brown musk.ย ๏ปฟA coniferous, woody aquatic with a cold apple accord.ย
Holy Terror:ย 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.
Jeunesse Dorรฉe:ย The luxe, opulent beauty of nonpareil jasmine sambac absolute, golden Italian bergamot zest, plump vanilla pods, sugary Peru Balsam, soft Clearwood, and a single drop of French cognac.
Moth-Like Stars: Creamy white amber, elegant cashmere, soft silk voile, salty Ambroxan, and diaphanous musk. A sheer, airy, yet concentrated and complex skin scent with a close, intimate sillage.
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.
Nimue: Also known as La Dame du Lac, she is the eternal fae who ensorcelled Merlin and escorted King Arthur's death barge to the magical realm of Avalon. Ethereal Tahitian vanilla, rich Rรฉunion Island vanilla, pink guava, white chocolate, soft jasmine grandiflorum, pillowy pink musk, raindrops shimmering on blue water, a sliver of Mysore sandalwood, and a hint of Gallic cognac. A delicate flourmand with bright fruitiness and plenty of vanilla.
Puck: Aย 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. ย A resinous amber with plum nuances and a long vanillic drydown.
Perfumer's Notes: If you tried Nott from ourย 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 fairiesโ 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 menโs 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.
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.
Perfumer's Notes: To me, this scent embodies the deepness within all the Sagittarian lightness (eg: running around on their horse hooves). This is the scent of a wise old centaur crossed with eternal youthfulness.
Titania V.2: 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.
Perfumer's Notes: This is the new Titania. You can tell them apart because V.2 has the date (2023) on the back of the label.

Bonfires at Dusk:ย Woodsmoke, sweet beeswax, Oregon lavender, sandalwood, charred juniper, and the scent of swiftly appearing stars.
Filthy Viking:ย 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.
Lughnasadh: An ode to the ancient god Lugh, Celtic mermaids, and the element of water. The scent of fresh water, white coconut, moonlight reflected on the ocean, smooth amber, seaweed absolute, rain-drenched juniper tips, and a drop of ruby red grapefruit. (Formerly known as Lammas)
Mad Monk:ย Some considered Grigori Rasputin to be a depraved charlatan, while others believed he was a mystic with magical powers, but no one could forget his haunting gaze.
