Please note that this fragrance will be retiring at the beginning of December.

Aroma palette is dark florals and green. Highlights include moss, dirt, agarwood, ylang ylang, and lily.

This oil was created to honor Maman Brigitte. Maman Brigitte (sometimes written as Manman Brigitte, Mamman Brigitte, and also known by Gran Brigitte) is considered the queen of the cemetery and guardian of all departed ancestors. She is the wife of Baron Samedi and is his female counterpart. She is often petitioned for blessings pertaining to healing and clearing of negative magic as well as issues pertaining to the law and justice. She is often syncretized with Saint Brigid. 

This blend is our interpretation of the scents of the cemetery and can best be described as the more feminine version of our Boneyard perfume. It has a dark, rich oak moss base dressed with hints of patchouli and dirt. On the dry down, phantoms of agarwood and ylang ylang peek through creating a dark and otherworldly aura. Beyond the earthy notes we have tucked a bouquet of white lilies, which become very present once the blend has settled. 

Ritual oils are perfume blends which have been intuitively crafted to honor specific gods, goddesses, and spirits that the artist honors in her personal practice. They may be used ritually, but they are also the same composition as our regular perfume oils, so they may be worn by anyone who might enjoy their unique fragrance palettes. The only difference between our regular perfume oil and our ritual perfumes is the artists inspiration.

What Are Perfume Oils?

Please note that these are not fragrance oils; they are perfume oils (artisan perfumes presented in oil format). They are meant to be worn on the skin and are not suitable for wax warmers, oil burners, or aroma diffusers. The only difference between our perfume oils and Eau de Parfums is the oil format. Many people prefer perfume oils because they wear close to the skin and unfold a bit more non-linearly than Eau de Parfums. For a more in-depth look at perfume oils, please peruse our knowledge base articles.

About Perfume Oils

Perfume oils do not unfold their complexity when experienced directly from the bottle. If you attempt to gauge the aroma of a perfume oil by smelling it from the bottle, your experience will not be accurate whatsoever. Always test perfumes on your body for the full experience.

Apply first to your pulse points (the inner wrists, the base of the throat, behind ear lobes, and the inner elbows) where it will warm with your body heat to unfold the fragrance.

Perfume oil, unlike alcohol-based perfumes, wears close to the skin. It warms on your body, adapts to your body chemistry, and creates a halo of scent on the body. As it fades, perfume oil can be applied throughout the day as a personal aromatic ritual.

Not recommended for those who are pregnant or nursing, children, or pets. Always patch test for potential allergies before applying liberally.

Unique and haunting

I would describe this one as a smokey floral, that has depth. It is so unique. After picking my mother up to run errands she asked what I was wearing and that she loved it. And folks, my mother is hard to please! Thanks again for your wonderful work!

My new favorite perfume!

This is exquisite! It's definitely warm and earthy, but it's dark and haunting too. Grave dirt and lilies definitely stand out, but the ylang ylang and agarwood give it an undeniable femininity. Powerful, raw, but still subtle.

I originally got this as a sample size, and once I smelled it I ordered the biggest size I could get. LOOOOVE this scent. It's replaced the other perfume that I wore daily that was 4 times the price. I definitely recommend!
