These single note solid perfumes arrive fresh from the cauldrons & are a Victorian delight for the senses. For an added touch of magic, the solid perfumes and colognes in this offering will come to you nestled inside a lovely golden tin whose cap has been inlaid with the wax seal of House Pixxxie Pie: the dragonfly. In homage to the coming end-of-year Solstices, these latest creations belong to a new single note perfume collection called “La Petite Miette”. This translates to “the little crumb” in French. Since these are potent, single note perfumes, I felt the simple phrase summed things up rather nicely.
About the potion: Handmade by mine own hands, natural & eco-friendly, my luxurious single note solid perfumes and cologne blends are the preternatural bees knees & don’t let any charlatan or snake oil salesman tell you different. The base of the perfume consists of 100% natural and organic ingredients that help moisturize the skin while offering longevity to the aroma blend itself by acting as a fixative. Wholesome oils are used from Olive, Castor & Soybeans. A dash of Carnauba Palm oil & Jojoba oil round things out a bit more. Topping it all off, the noble bumblebee contributes lush beeswax to complete a extra-powerful potion that leaves the skin ultra soft and supple….and smelling practically otherworldly. Only the finest essential oils are used for these Victorian concoctions, along with top quality botanical oils and pure plant absolutes.

—–Faun – Moroccan Ambergris
Personality: A provocative aphrodisiac, Faun is an aroma that is extremely rich, warm and long lasting. Golden, entrancing and vibrant it’s much like the most refined of Amber Musks pressed closely against a smoky bed of cinnamon and roasted vanilla beans. The smell is sensual, primal and evolves against the skin in complex and unusual layers. One inhale tells you why Ambergris was once one of the most sought after perfuming component in years of old. In true old-world fashion, this aroma is unusual, mildly sweet and completely intoxicating.
—–Skeleton Key – Clove
Personality: Skeleton Key is delightfully full-bodied, and conveys the essence of pure Clove as it was meant to be enjoyed. Here, a spicy-hot sweetness wraps about a persistent, woody core that’s exotic, lively, warm and invigorating.
—–Umber – Fossilized Amber Musk
Personality: Carefully composed with another member of the aphrodisiac family of resins, Umber is richly layered, musky & deeply sensual. Resinous, enticing and euphoric, dark notes polish the edges of this concoction with uniquely woody meanderings.

Akin to standing in a forest of strange trees, the heart of this potion is stitched with golden threads of musk and notes reminiscent of smooth vanilla. It may help with warding off werewolves or it may very well attract them depending on your disposition.
—–Poison Ivy – Vetivert
Personality: Also known as the Oil of Tranquility, Vetivert makes this concoction calming and deeply verdant. Multi-layered and a touch grassy, Poison Ivy stands out as sweetly redolent with a delightful, herbaceous muskiness.

Personality: Sylvan tones make this cedarwood forest vibrant and nuanced, its outer edges laced in clean rain, its loamy floor awash with green leaves and rustling earth.
—–Mandragora – Tea Tree
Personality: Fresh, vibrant and green, Mandragora is a wonderfully camphorus interpretation of what I imagine noble Mandrake Root to smell like. Boldly herbaceous, Tea Tree essence makes this act of alchemy quite stimulating in a way similar to pure Rosemary or Lavender.
—–Silver Morgan – Davana
Personality: Silver Morgan is a luxurious treat, like a hot, spiced rum with a pulsing heart of bold vanilla bourbon. Ribbons of caramel dance about her edges, rounding things out in a certain velvety and subdued sweetness.
—–Briar Rosewood – Rosewood

—–My Devil’s Heart – Immortelle
Personality: Semi-precious Immortelle Blossoms have a woody core bound tightly in sashes of silken caramel. A distinctly musky sweetness is balanced by exotic, smoky undertones.
—–Datura – Neroli
Personality: Her wanton sensuality is lightly sugared and soft as fresh green shoots at spring’s first blinking. This is a sensuous floral bouquet pressed from delicate orange blossoms, compelling and daringly similar to Jasmine or Honeysuckle.
—–Verdigris – Anise
Personality: Verdigris is deep pools of milky Absinthe that glimmer and glow about your bare feet. A thin mist of sugar slips in on quiet and the tall licorice bends like reeds in the wind.
—–Edgar Allen – Ravensara
Personality: Woody and bold, Edgar Allen is beset with an abiding and inky complexity. Black-feathered in spicy chords reminiscent of Patchouli, Nutmeg and Spruce, this potion has a rather dark and brooding uniqueness thumping just beneath the floorboards.
—–Emily Dickenson’s Bloomers – Cardamom
Personality: Richly layered in silks and spice, Emily Dickenson’s Bloomers reveal a surprisingly playful spirit. Hemmed in black lace and bows, at the center of this aroma lies a rich core that calls to mind noble Allspice crossed with Cinnamon, Clove and antique Sandalwood long locked in dusty attic.

—–Imriel – Labdanum
Personality: Sun-dappled Imriel is a seducer, evocative and magnificently complex. Softly dark, deep and resinous, Labdanum expresses honeyed, musky overtones that are maple-syrupy & heavily timbered. The aroma lingers and evolves in ways reminiscent of Ambergris or Amber.
—–Fogwood – Blue Yarrow
Personality: Strangely soothing, this aroma has a woody timbre with soft, lemony undertones. Fogwood is extremely unique and distinctly herbal, a smell like the pages in an antique book of pressed flowers, sun-baked and dusted with fine sands.
—–White Wolf – Balsam of Peru
Personality: The White Wolf roams a snow-capped grove of Cypress and Pine trees, footfalls silenced by a carpet of dusky needles. Dripping in odd magic and heady musk, the bouquet is multifaceted, crisp and natural.
—–Ophelia – Geranium
Personality: Ophelia shivers with spring rain, tender flower tops in her hair, thistle at her feet. All lily pads and sweet swamp brambles, she smolders in heavy green pools: beautifully full-bodied, perfect and strange.
—–Arcadia – Bergamot
Personality: An unspoiled wilderness in a far off land, Arcadia is citrus-y, lavish and energetic. A sweet little tart of an aroma, the tones here are effervescent with subdued hints of flora.
—–Sayyadina – Rosemary
Personality: Sayyadina reveals classic Rosemary, all bright evergreens bound to camphoric wild flowers. This aroma is bold, persistent, wildly herbaceous & insistently aromatic.
—–Coraline – Coriander

—–Jabberwock – Spikenard
Personality: Jabberwock is chords of deeply pungent base notes entangled in a sweetness that is mild and earthy. The aroma has a uniquely masculine charm that makes it a one-of-a-kind: a musky brew proud to be an acquired taste reminiscent of spicy Valerian or dried Hops Flowers wrapped tightly with rare spices.
—–Lilith – Lavender
Personality: Pure Lavender makes Lilith bright, lively, defiantly herbal and magnificently nuanced in ways synthetic lavender can never express. This aroma is bold, exhilarating, elaborate and camphorus like old-fashioned medicinals trapped in clouded, antique bottles.

Personality: White Honey is bright sunshine distilled from sugary honeycombs. Delicately spiced, an intriguing warmth pervades this natural aroma and radiates from its musky base in saccharine waves.
