Death (The Pardoner’s Tale) Perfume Oil
Price range: $24.00 through $95.00
The Pardoner's Tale tells of how three men end up killing each other over treasure in an ironic story. A Pardoner was a man who was an itinerant preacher who was allowed by The Church to sell indulgences so that the faithful could get to heaven more easily without a nasty detour through Purgatory.
Suave, sophisticated and as final as Death. As dark a vetiver as you could possibly smell mixes with smooth thyme and a good jolt of black amber. A faraway touch of incense and a tiny amount of pure smoke. A beautiful offering of the perfumers' art, would be at home on the Champs Elysees in Paris circa 1955.
Type: chypre

Wendy –
Opens… stunning. Beautifully bitter greens layered over something smooth and creamy. Bold and dark and simply stunning. A deliciously balanced chypre, like many Possets – not tempered by gourmand undertones, and yet still not overwhelming. Smells the way apache tear obsidian looks.

Who knew death could be this sweet? Such a complex scent, and every new note i discovered left me delighted. The opening notes are very green, but it dries down to a powdery sweetness that complements the chypre perfectly

Unlike anything I have ever smelled, but evocative nonetheless. This is a contemplative perfume, the vetiver and thyme cool and poised atop a very generous woody amber. As a newcomer to Possets, I have fallen in love with so many of their offerings at first sniff, and the moving tribute to the original owner adds meaningful nuance to the experience of each scent. Death is surprising gauzy, the layers between leaf and root and wood and resin playful and imaginative, quite the opposite of what I was expecting. I shall be upgrading to the large bottle soon.

Why does this smell so pretty? I really enjoy the irony of feeling so cute in a fragrance called Death. I am a Chypre person. Somehow that style works well with my skin chemistry and this one is extra special and unique.
