Hello! We have been making perfumes, colognes, and other sundries related to the best fandoms in the 'verse since 2011.

Newer Things! Star Wars and Fallout collections have begun...

Fragrances Inspired by Fallout 4: 

Eternal Steel - "FOR ELDER MAXSON!" Hey, that's what I would have typed anway, right? Inspired by his coat: Leather, rich bourbon and vanilla tobacco, cold steel, a touch of ozone from laser rifles; an interesting mix of warm and sharp notes.

Fancy Lads Snack Cakes - Exactly what you expect. Sweet rich cake with hints of honey and possibly chocolate... sugary frosting on top, of course. 

Isodoped - Of the people, for the people. Grape mentats, a touch of gunpowder, booze, and a pleasant smoky blend of musk, patchouli, and amber (all sweetened with a bit of caramel). For Hancock, of course!

Nuka Cola - Really, do I need to say more? Delicious irradiated cola. Sorry, no bottlecaps for you to spend later... (However, you CAN opt for Nuka Cherry if you prefer!)

Power Armor Grease & Testosterone - Yes, that name is kind of extra, but this one is for my Video Game Husband. Paladin Danse, of course. "Power armor grease and testosterone", just as Cait says. My interpretation = the hottest masculine scent I could dream up, with an added smear of motor oil (!), blended with the clean ozone of a laser rifle. Naturally, it ends with a healthy dose of Fancy Lads Snack Cakes.

Valentine - exactly what you would expect from a 50s noir detective agency.
Fresh tobacco, pleasant smokiness, flipping through old papers/case files, a sweet vanilla warmth in the background...

'What's the Angle Here...' is our fragrance for Piper Wright, your favorite Diamond City reporter. Printing press ink, a dab of sparingly-used perfume, and a hint of sweet rolls.

Wooden Soldier - your favorite mungo, I mean merc, RJ MacCready. Mutfruit (*snicker*), peppercorn, patchouli and sandalwood, ending with a blast of gunpowder. This is sweet and probably the scent people (of any gender) loved the most so far.

(more to come, of course. Preston's is next! It's sunny and outdoors-y.)

Inspired by Star Wars:


I was very wary of making any scents for Star Wars because it's my life-long, biggest fandom of all. There are only a handful so far...

Across the Stars - Inspired by Varykino, the lake retreat where Padme and Anakin were secretly married. Idyllic warm meadows scented with orchids, dewy flowers, exotic Eastern blossoms, and fresh Spring grass. (Across the Stars is the name of Anakin & Padme's theme by John Williams. It was our wedding music a decade ago!)

Blue Milk - Farm-fresh bantha milk with a dollop of sugared blueberries, topped off with rich creamy fizz.

The Chosen One - Anakin Skywalker, The Hero With No Fear, is my favorite fictional character. Humble beginnings of sand heated by twin suns blended with a single desert flower that can change the entire galaxy. This is followed by pepper, spices, and the leather of his Jedi tabard, belt and gloved mechanical hand. A bit of swoon-worthy mandarin orange, wood, and black amber are added, ending with a tragic note of smoldering ash.

Commander Meiloorun - "Wait, you did all this for fruit?" We know meilooruns are delicious, so we've mixed various melons and tropical fruit with a dash of citrus.
This is a nod to the Star Wars Rebels cartoon!

"You need a pilot." Hell of a Pilot is for my favorite character in The Force Awakens!
Commander Poe Dameron's X-wing fighter over Takodana - bright blue skies, lush forests, ozone and yes, that gorgeous lake. This is a confident, outdoorsy unisex scent.


A few Random fragrances that don't fit in other categories :

Daffodil Daydream - A silly fragrance idea, based on the air freshener in Dopinder's taxi. It was meant as a joke, but everyone absolutely loves it! Daffodils blended with white florals and light citrus. (from the Deadpool movie) 

Cape Rouge: But I know it hurts, Duke. No matter how much armor you put on, it still hurts. Named after Duke's boat, is a complex masculine blend of sea spray, aged boat wood, booze, and gunpowder with various hidden notes. (from the TV show Haven!)

Saturday Morning: You like pancakes? We got good pancakes. This was a request from my sister-in-law, and it turned out far better than either of us expected! Our fragrance inspired by Nathan is deceivingly simple: pancakes and flannel. That said, the blend ends up pretty complex and oh-so-feminine!  (Haven) 



Fragrances Inspired by Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice And Fire):

Blue Winter Roses - A perfume for Lyanna, the Queen of Love and Beauty. English Tea Roses, bluebells, wisteria, and baby's breath.

Calm as Still Water - for Arya Stark.
Leather, sweet wild berries, and woods blended with fresh ozone, green plantlife, and a tranquil warm lake.


Dothraki Sea - Sweet Grass, Spiceflower, wild mint, and a hint of rich black soil.


Fire And Blood - Dragon's Blood (A sweet and spicy floral with patchouli, vanilla, and amber) blended with smoking fire.

Knight of Flowers - For Ser Loras Tyrell. Hundreds of fresh Forget-Me-Not flowers, blue sapphires, and a hint of a golden rose. (Note: This one is my personal favorite from our GoT collection. It's floral, but with fresh air notes that make it shine. If you hate roses, don't worry, it's undetectable; just a drop in the blend for the Tyrell sigil. If blue had a scent, I think this would be it.)

Lady Stoneheart - For Catelyn Stark.
Dried flowers, dried leaves, cold rivers, and an earthy, woodsy, breezy base. An appropriately sad floral fragrance for Lady Stoneheart.


Little Bird - For Sansa Stark. Lemon cakes, rich and frosted with sugar.


Mother of Dragons - For Daenerys. Pomegranates, Honey nectar, and exotic fruits & flowers, with a drop of spice. This solid perfume is infused with super fine mica, for a silver shimmer.


Queen Regent - Heady red wine, Cassis and ripe berries, amber, and a whisper of expensive floral perfume.

Rainbow Guard  - For Lord Renly and his Knights of Summer. A fresh Highgarden peach, backed by sweet summerwine. This is an opulent fruit fragrance - fresh but sweet, charismatic and easy to like. A man should never refuse to taste a peach.

Red Priestess - Melisandre, shadowbinder of Asshai. The burning of the Seven, in favor of R'hllor the Lord of Light. Burning fire and secret dark spices, with hints of sea moss and the ocean surrounding the island of Dragonstone.

Sweetsleep - Sweet, dreamless sleep. Herbal tea with sweet red currants and soft honey. *Owner's pick! This is delicious, and sweet without being too sweet. Men love it.*

Tyrion evokes reading books by a warm hearth, with a glass of wine at your side. Notes of leather, cedar, amber, sweet cherry wood, vanilla, and a hint of wine. A very small man can cast a very large shadow...

Valar Morghulis - For Jaqen H’ghar.
Based on the traditional, masculine Bay Rum scent with some additions for the complexity of this Faceless Man. Ginger, crushed cloves, cinnamon, orange, pine needles, and hints of patchouli essential oil, with soapy cleanliness and sandalwood, touched with a bit of vanilla.


Watcher on the Walls will take you to Castle Black, warming up after being on the wall; hot mulled cider with your fellow Crows. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn...
Crisp, woodsy notes of the cold outdoors, mulled apples and fruit cider, and spices.

Water Gardens - House Martell's retreat outside of Sunspear.
A citrus heart of orange, lemon, and bergamot, summer flowers, verbena, rich avocado, and a tiny hint of fire peppers, on a refreshing leafy green olive branch base.

Widow Queen, for Margaery Tyrell: Luxurious fruits from The Reach blended with fresh delicate florals, cream, honey, citrus, and a drop of Tyrell rose, with a sandalwood and amber base. It's very fresh, a little sweet, and a bit sexy - perfect for spring.

Winter is coming: The scent of the North. A cold woodland breeze, icy snow, Weirwoods, and moss with smoke and ash. 




Firefly-Inspired Fragrances:
 

Aim to Misbehave. - The Captain's infamous browncoat. Aged leather, suede, with touches of tumbleweed, patchouli, amber, and other shiny things.


Big Damn Heroes, Sir - For Zoe. A slinky base (because she wants it with some slink) of sandalwood and violets, plenty of leather and apple, a hint of ozone, and teeny bits of notes from Aim to Misbehave.

Companion House Madrassa - Nag Champa incense, blended with Serenity. Think of smoky dragon's blood and sandalwood incense sweetened with the warmth of figs, coconut milk, vanilla beans, and other comforting notes.

Earth That Was - Fresh ozone, watery green tones, touches of the forests and flowers and freshly turned soil. Sweetened with golden amber. The near-mythical Earth That Was, before the mass exodus.

Fruity Oaty Bar - As requested, we now have a perfume fragrance based on our Fruity Oaty Bar soap. This smells like a delicious spiced oat bar with touches of citrus and berries. It *will* blow your mind.

Hands of Blue – Icy cold mint with hints of menthol and camphor. Chilly. Two by two...


Inara - Myrrh, dragons blood, and patchouli, with a touch of florals on a sandalwood base. Beautiful, feminine, and mysterious, like Inara herself.

Leaf on the Wind - Watch how I soar. Fresh green spring leaves, an earthy base, and a touch of apples and oak moss.

Lilac Moon - Fresh lilac flowers, of course. Lilac is a moon of New Canaan. 


Miranda - Fresh air notes and bright citrus, followed by a middle of florals and leafy olive branches.  This is the clean, refreshing scent of a perfect world without sin.  ;)  

Mudder's Milk - Rich roasted coffee, sweet vanilla cream, and rum. "All the protein, vitamins and carbs of your grandma’s best turkey dinner, plus 15% alcohol." - need to remake this one, it will be back! 

Mrs. Reynolds - Sweet-yet-tart fruits such as cranberries and pomegranates, with spicy cinnamon lurking underneath, just like Saffron. But face it hubby, I'm really hot!


Pretty Floral Bonnet - A prairie fresh medley of basil leaves, clary sage, and peppermint sprigs accented with fresh flowers. (Smells like a pretty floral bonnet should. Unless Mal is wearing it.) Fresh, clean, herbal and just lovely.  

Shiny! - Strawberries, sunshine, and her fluffy pink layer-cake dress. This is Kaylee at the Shindig, so there is no engine grease involved, although Simon may prefer her that way.


Southdown Abbey -  This is a scent for Shepherd Book. Honestly, this one is my favorite out of our fragrances for the men of the crew. Lovely teakwood surrounded by cardamom and other spices, with warm notes of cedar, amber, sandalwood, and patchouli.

St. Albans - Woods, Vanilla-sweetened Patchouli, pipe tobacco, fir needle, and other warm notes. This is amazing and evokes the feeling of warming up by the fireplace in your home on an icy planet.


Vera - Jayne's sweetheart <3 Therefore, she smells like vanilla cake with touches of chocolate, honey, and toffee. "I call it Vera."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Doctor Who Inspired Fragrances:

Adiposian - My five year old loves the Adipose and at first, she referred to them as Marshmallow Men. How could I resist? This fragrance is fresh, fluffy, untoasted marshmallows blended with raw coconut and a touch of plumeria, deepened with a base of rosewood, ylang ylang, and vanilla.

Allons-y! - This is a fragrance for the Tenth Doctor, my favorite. This is warm and comforting, yet fresh and crisp at the same time, and simply lovable. Warm Amber, Rosewood (we had to sneak the Bad Wolf in there somewhere, right?), White Ginger (the flower, not the spice. Rude and not ginger!), a crisp green note, and a soft hint of snow (Vale Decem).


Bad Wolf Bay - Rose, tears, and the desolate ocean. A perfectly somber scent for one of the saddest scenes on television. </3  The salty ocean notes make this fresh and modern, while the fresh cut roses sweeten the aquatics and make the scent more feminine. 

Captain Jack - My dear friend Angela said I should have a fragrance dedicated to the irresistible Captain Jack Harkness, and to make it "sexy to both men and women". What a fantastic idea! After research, it seems that the sexiest scent is vanilla; so we have made Captain Jack a dark, smoky vanilla with oak and bourbon. This is a grown-up, sexy vanilla, not a dessert/bakery scent.

Fantastic - Run! And don't drop that banana! This is our fragrance for the Ninth Doctor. Angry cinnamon fire mellowed with sweet vanilla cream, and... bananas. Why? Good source of potassium! This is our spiciest scent, and it smells delicious. This is our spiciest fragrance and contains a large amount of cinnamon - please do not order it if you have sensitive skin!


Gallifrey - Blood orange, golden amber, light patchouli, and lavender blended with touches of jasmine, woods, and blossoms. Exotic and complex, yet with a certain freshness about it, and inspired by the Doctor's beautiful description. This is unisex, on the masculine side.

Geronimo! - This one is for the Eleventh Doctor. Have you ever wanted to smell like a TARDIS self-destruct button? Of course you have! This fragrance will remind you of Eleven's favorite raspberry plum jam-filled shortbread Jammie Dodgers. 

Hello Sweetie - Sugared cherries, raspberry cotton candy, French vanilla cream, and a drop of spice. Hallucinogenic lipstick not included. ^_^ This is our second fragrance inspired by River Song, and it's a real head-turner! 

Idris - For all the bitey-mad-ladies, our Idris scent is very Victorian and a bit crazy. A heart of Victorian violets with rose, jasmine, and orange on a sweet vanilla and sandalwood base. I think you call me... sexy.

Kasterborous - This is our more feminine companion to Gallifrey. Sweet orange blossoms, Lavender, Amber, Fresh flowers, and a dash of Petrichor (dust after rain...)


My Sarah Jane - This is the perfect delicate, sweet floral perfume. Lilies, soft florals, and a touch of greenery. Thank you, Elisabeth Sladen. <3  

Pandorica - Dark resins, patchouli, incense, woods, vetiver, and musk. The notes are suitably dark, yet they combine to make a really awesome perfume.

ReinetteMadame de Pompadour's hyacinth-filled gardens and vintage lace. "One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel." 

Show Me the Stars - This perfume won't "eggs.. stir... minATE" you but will win your heart with notes of red rooibos tea, pineapple, citron, mango zest, and a perfect unburnt souffle with a dark vanilla base.

Spoilers - Sexy and woodsy, with exotic florals, freesia, and amber. This is what you might wear on a date to see the Singing Towers of Darillium.

The Girl Who Waited - Amelia Pond's smiley-face apple with vanilla custard. No fish fingers (or beans, or bacon, or...) involved, I promise!

Turn Left - For Donna Noble, the most important woman in the whole of creation. Fizzy orange, spicy ginger ale, cabernet wine, lime zest, plus a little spritz of expensive perfume (the sort that Donna would probably purchase for herself). This fragrance is zesty, fresh, and fun, and will be perfect for summer.

Would You Like a Jelly Baby? is a sugary, candy-like blend of Bassetts jelly baby flavors (okay, flavours).

------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hunger Games:


Ever in Your Favor - "I am smiling, even though you are annoying me." Our favorite District escort is represented by this fine fragrance - all the way from the Capitol! You will be ready for your big, big day when you dab a bit of this scent on your wrist (just above your chic gloves - all the rage this season!) Effie isn't all bubbles and nonsense - she has a schedule to keep and appreciates the quality of the mahogany from District 7 that decorates your Victor Village residence. Fluffy cotton candy, exotic fruits (only the rarest and best), hints of rose and violet, a dab of champagne, a touch of cream, and naturally- a mahogany base. Thank you, Jonnelle!  :D

Hey, Catnip - A fragrance inspired by Gale Hawthorne. Alder woodsmoke, a nighttime forest breeze, crunchy fallen leaves, and hints of toasted vanilla marshmallows. This is a swoon-worthy Autumn bonfire scent. Unisex.

The Mockingjay - A complex, heavily outdoors-oriented fragrance with grass, leaves, trees, soil, and ozone, with touches of her leather boots, mint leaf tea, herbs, and a hint of wild flowers and berries.

Nightlock - Red currants and various berries, with a dark hint of absinthe lurking underneath.

Prim - A gentle, clean, floral perfume. Primrose, ylang ylang, and violet blended with fruity-floral notes into a soft scent that reminds me of a comforting bubble bath. It's sweet and perfectly appropriate for the "Little Duck".  Will be discontinued when we run out.

Real Or Not Real - A bright yellow dandelion, fresh spring grass, blended with sweet bread with fruit. Symbols of hope. This blend really passes the Litmus Test of Awesomeness: people who dislike sweet/foody fragrances love it, *and* people who hate florals love it. It's fresh and sweet at the same time.

Tribute Train - Inspired by PORCHWOOD's latte of the same name, this fragrance is a delicious combination of Katniss and Peeta's beverages and sweets on the train to the Capitol. Hot chocolate, a touch of coffee, and milk with honey, spices and toast.

Trident - Want a sugar cube? Trident is our fragrance for Finnick Odair! This is a gorgeous (of course) beach scent. Sea salt, sand, and an ocean breeze with notes of sea kelp, sparkling citrus, and crashing waves. Unisex, leaning towards feminine.

Under the Willow - Inspired by Rue and the orchards of District 11. Orchard apples, pear nectar, and sweet floral blossoms, blended with fields, soft woods and vanilla.


------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry Potter:

Always - The pure, clean, feminine scent of Lily of the Valley. This one is for Lily Evans-Potter - and Severus Snape, of course. The label features a doe patronus.

Borgin & Burkes - Imagine browsing the shops in Knockturn Alley: patchouli, mysterious herbs, spices, and resins from the apothecary, pipe smoke, vetiver, antique objects you probably should not touch...

The Burrow - This scent is everything I imagine the Weasley's cozy home, particularly the kitchen, would smell like. It's warm, rich yet mellow, and lovely for Autumn. Notes of Molly's baked goods with nuts and spices, oatmeal with honey, well-used wooden furniture, and crunchy dried leaves tracked in from the garden.

Butterbeer - Exactly how I've always imagined it. Caramelized vanilla, a touch of warming rum, and buttery whipped cream.

Felix Felicis- Lucky clover with citrus, fresh ginger, lemongrass, and herbs. This blend is bright, zesty, and invigorating, and will make you feel like you could take on the whole Empire yourself.

Pumpkin Juice - creamy pumpkin, juicy orange, subtle spices with hints of rich vanilla.


------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Supernatural:

The Boy With the Demon Blood - Woodsy notes blended with warm pepper, cardamom, and amber, dashes of vetiver and cypress, on a cozy warm flannel shirt.  (For Sammy. Also known as Moose Musk!)

Don't Forget the Pie - a pie buffet that Dean would not be able to resist: cherry and apple with luscious double crusts, along with a dollop of vanilla "PUDDING!" (because crazy works), with just a touch of oak for a sexy base.

The Family Business: The interior of the Metallicar (minus crumpled-up fast food wrappers), a couple of cold freshly-opened bottles of beer, and hints of burnt rubber and motor oil. Don't be alarmed, this is a deliciously sexy fragrance. (for The Winchesters)

The King of Hell: Never underestimate the King of Hell, darling. I know a lot of swell tricks. Black tea, woods, oud (resinous woods), herbs, wild geranium, bergamot, dark amber, and a touch of smoke.  (For Crowley)

Men of Letters - The headquarters of the Men of Letters, a ghost of the past and the more recent Winchester occupation. Old books, some posh 50s masculine whiffs of brandy and cigars, and tiny hints of leftover pie crust on the table and Sam's plaid shirt...

Pale Horse, Pale Rider - His name was death. Loamy dirt and funeral flowers, with a hint of spices.

Raised From Perdition: Heavenly honeysuckle on a base of jasmine, freesia, and lilies. Outside today, in the garden, I followed a honeybee. I saw the route of flowers. (For Castiel)

Ruby's Knife - Sexy incense blended with pomegranate, papaya, a hint of spice, and other exotic notes. The working title was Demon Blood, but we didn't want to confuse anybody; that was a bit too close to another of our fragrance names!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Battlestar Galactica:

#6 - A Sexy, captivating melange of florals, plum, citrus, vetiver, and musk with a soft sandalwood and myrrh base. Just the thing for seducing scientists into giving you those necessary defense system access codes.

An Easterly View - "You should see the light that we get here. When the sun comes from behind those mountains, it's almost heavenly."  Roslin and Adama's cabin -  Cedar, sandalwood, oud wood, woody moss, bark, and patchouli, with hints of leather and earth.

Arrow of the Gods - for that Magnificent Bastard, Apollo. A zesty fresh cologne blended with brisk, refreshing mountain air, with amber and a bit of woodsy warmth on the drydown. "Today is the first day of the rest of your life, Lee."

The Blackbird was more than a ship, it was an act of faith. This one is for Chief Tyrol (my favorite BSG character!) and the stealth fighter he designed. Woodsy and a bit masculine with a sweet heart of apple cider and cyclamen, and a healthy dash of engine grease.
"Nobody's expecting any miracles."
"Maybe that's the problem."


Chamalla - Datura, Jasmine, and Green teas blended with willow, bergamot, gingseng, pear and amber, and just a touch of florals. While this won't give you visions of the way to Earth, it's my personal favorite of our BSG scents; very fresh and clean. 

Heart of the Sun - "That is the kind of perfection that I want to be connected to." For Sam Anders, and Galactica herself: The sun's warmth, citrus, ozone, crimson cinnamon, Teak...   "See you on the other side." This has a bit of cinnamon and clove in it, and is not recommended for those with very sensitive skin. 

Nothing But The Rain - for the Harbinger of Death. Fresh, cleansing rain blended with booze and tobacco. "You won't be forgotten."
