This fragrance contains small amounts of barley and bran absolute. The marigold is an accord due to safety concerns. Cacao absolute contains a small amount of caffeine.
Skullkin is such a unique fragrance. I knew I had to buy a FS when I saw it was being discontinued, and I’m sure glad I did! There’s nothing like it that I’ve smelled. Skullkin is in your face Spice(tm), but underneath the masa and incense is the aniseed, florals, and cacao to keep it from becoming too spicy. I think the aniseed is really prominent among the spices and it adds an extra oomph to what’s already a powerful blend. The marshmallows are barely there and provide just a hint of sweetness as well to keep the masa and incense from dominating. Skullkin stays fairly linear on me from start to finish and has crazy longevity (I’m talking 12 hours or more!). It’s definitely a fall/cool weather fragrance because the spicy notes can be a little too domineering in warm weather, but it’s so beautiful that I want to wear it all the time!
Ooh this is really nice! The opening is very complex — sweet, spicy anise and rich floral notes over the toasty aroma of masa and gently smoked cacao. As the scent dries, the deep amber resins of copal begin to emerge. This is a rich copal but very different from most indie copal notes which I tend to find overpowering — it's very smooth golden approachable, sweetened with dark brown sugar and marshmallow cream and brightened with fresh orange zest.
The distinctive aroma of marigold appears, its sunny, yellow musk blends beautifully with the resinous citrus, as its earthy spices are drawn out by sweet anise. Cool, creamy white florals and aromatic green notes balance out the warmth of the blend, as a swirl of rich musk surrounds the scent in an alluring veil.
This is such a beautiful and unique fragrance — a sweet, spicy floral musk infused with deep copal resin and bright citrus. The elements inspired by Dia de los Muertos seemed like they would be quite challenging, but they give the scent a toasty base and really bring out the nuance in the notes. I found the idea of this fragrance really intriguing but had no idea I would love it so much, it's really addictive!
An orange tinged earthy smoky incense with a hint of anise. Beautiful and less foody than it might appear. I was fairly shocked how much I liked this one because of the note list and I definitely recommend trying it out if you like incense scents even if the food notes make you nervous.
I LIKE THIS ONE A LOT but I have a hard time describing it since I'm not super familiar with most of the notes. The dried chili is the first thing I get. It's a really nice spiced note on top with a backing of... I can't pin it down exactly, but something very golden and amber-y, along with something sweet. Wish I could describe it with more justice, but it is niiiice. Considering a full-size for this one.
