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.
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 closer 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.
External Use Only. Keep away from children and pets. Discontinue use should irritation occur.

Victor's Lament Perfume Oil
- Unit price
- /per
Aroma Palette is cold, tannic, inky, earthy, and bookish Highlights include vellum, candle wax, damp earth, leather-bound books, cold forest-tinged air, oak gall iron ink, and a trace of blood.
This dark, ominous fragrance evokes the interior world Victor Frankenstein. It’s cold, dark and shaped by long hours spent indoors absorbed in research and study. It’s tension and darkness, with an aroma palette that is bookish, physical, and eerie.
In this bottle is a room left behind and the memories that remain hanging in the air in the form of scent. Vellum and leather-bound books form a tannic, bookish heart, imprinted with the cold and metallic bite of oak gall iron ink. Candle wax softens the edges while rich damp earth and cold forest-tinged air seep in from the landscape, evoking a mood of neglect and isolation. A faint trace of coppery blood lingers in the background. Victor’s Lament smells like a museum of natural history left behind to decay.
8ml black apothecary bottle.
Cap Instructions
Press the cap firmly straight down until it snaps into place, then twist to tighten. If the cap is not fully seated first, it may feel difficult to thread.
If you don't like this scent at first *please* don't give up on it. It's sharp and cold right out of the bottle, like a candle in a deserted library. It's metallic but warms up slowly with the dirt, leather, and blood accord. My favorite scent of all time is Vena Cava (the original), so I don't shy away from metallic or unusual scents, and this is definitely both. The feeling is one of decay, but also of memory and a forlorn, stinging loss.
It's been difficult to choose a favorite from this Mary Shelly trio because they are all so harmonious but different. Victor's Lament is cold, not as melancholy as The Creature or Elizabeth, but like up and abandoning a project that just didn't quite work out on a bitter winter day. A cluttered desk of nonsense and ink spilled on a wooden floor. There is so much to take away from this fragrance and so many places it makes my mind want to go. I've been recovering from a very major surgery since February, and Frankenstein is one of my favorite novels. These fragrances have brought me comfort reflecting how I've been feeling while giving me the strength to keep going.
