Danse Macabre (Saint-Säens) Perfume Oil
Price range: $24.00 through $95.00
Saint-Säens wrote a piece which illustrates a Dance of the Dead, where the dead rise from graves, are reassembled, and writhe madly about celebrating their day of liberation. The dancing grows more and more frantic but the cock crows, and the revelers must return to their previous dead state, amid the sad violins. An elegant and simple harmony turned glorious, strong black tea and leather, a hint of black musk and a top note of lemon zest. The sorts of ingredients used here are a very unusual, premium and very strong. This is the kind of fragrance you would wear to a very special occasion when you want to the be person in the spotlight, and admired by all.

Preliminary notes: Danse Macabre has been my favorite classical composition since I was a kid, and I love Possets’ tea notes, so this was a no-brainer.
In bottle: Dark, dark, dark. The leather is strong, as is the tea. It smells very foreboding and commanding (which is absolutely my kind of vibe).
On skin: Something about this goes very piney on the skin, almost camphorous. The lemon is very sour as well. It starts mellowing into a very dark, brooding tea scent with a heavy leather backdrop. It’s one of the weirdest scents I’ve ever smelled, which I mean in the best way possible. I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist while writing this.
Verdict: 3.75 tea-stained pages of sheet music out of 5. I think I need to give this time to mellow and grow on me. It’s a very unique scent.
