Scent Notes: A classic Victorian manse set ablaze, filling the air with burning books and cherry furniture, exotic spices and incense, red and black musks, and violets.
Far in the distance, the manor was burning. Smoke billowed out of the windows beginning in the library on the second floor. Cherry furniture and leather-bound tomes turned to ash as the fire began to spread throughout the manse, climbing the walls and unfurling to the top and bottom floors with equal veracity. The smoke took on a distinct violet note as the fire tore through the closets, and turned spicy when it reached the kitchen pantry. With alarming quickness, the entire manse was engulfed in flames, right down to the moor it had stood upon for decades. People ran from nearby houses to see where the fire was, and stood in horror as the manse burned down in front of their very eyes. Weeping could be heard from miles around. “This is just awful,” one woman wept to her husband. “The Morris mansion is destroyed! This poor family! Our poor town!”
Indeed, the Morris family had been a long-standing pillar of the community for as long as the house had stood. They were the wealthiest family in town by far, which certainly cemented their status. There was hardly a person in town who wasn’t somehow touched or involved with the Morris family, and they famously threw Halloween and Christmas parties that were open to all the townsfolk so everyone could have a wonderful holiday celebration and a hearty meal. They had founded a charity, and their factory chain employed many locals. Of course, that doesn’t mean they were well-liked or universally adored.... Click here to read the rest of the story!
More cloying than I expected and to me at least I didn't get any hot or smokey notes I'd expect from the description, but still a pleasant velvety sweet smell.
This one was not good for me. Sometimes that happens. Just doesn’t work with my chemistry. I was hoping for spices and incense but on me it smells like burning tires.
I am so grateful that this perfume exists. It smells like everything I aspire to be in life -- inscrutable, elegant, sophisticated, frightening.
As far as the technical aspects, this perfume is long-lasting (If I put it on in the morning, I can still smell it on myself by bedtime), but at the same time, it has an elegantly understated sillage -- which fits wonderfully with the mysterious vibe of the scent.
On the whole, I adore Harbinger for both its physical and psychological aspects. I've only had it for a few weeks, and I already feel that it's my signature scent, and I plan to keep wearing it for many years to come.
Later changes into a dirt smell but not the scent to buy alone it's needed to be mixed.
Good mixer for soft earthy notes like Forest Witch. It brings out the dirt smell of Harbinger.
I really only tried this because I liked the bottle...I wasn't particularly intrigued by the scent notes. When I received it, I did not like it in the bottle. I tried some on and really didn't like it on my skin. Something about it was actually almost offensive lolol...I almost washed it off because it was bothering me so much - but later it didn't smell so terrible so I "let it rest" for a week and tried again.
It's spectacular! So unique and mysterious!! I love it so much
Harbinger is Mysterious in the best way. Genuinely smells like a haunted mansion in the best way. Someday I will get more than just a sample of this. The smoky scent is really beautifully layered with incense and cherry. I am enamored by it.
I bought five samples, but I put this one in first and fell in love. I've never found a perfume that's 100% me before, but now I need to order as much of this as I possibly can, so I never run out.
I was a little worried this would be too similar to Goth as Fuck, which I also love, but this is definitely different. I can’t explain why but I like this one in warmer months and GAF when it’s colder out.
This one leans more masculine and you can definitely smell the fire like scents and cherry woods. I enjoy it when I’m in the mood for a embery fragrance.
I am addicted to the way Harbinger smells on me. It starts spicy and smoky, but the sweet note hits on the end. My partner prefers that I wear Stay Sexy, which I do like, but he is wrong. Harbinger just smells like it was created for me. And I smile.
Honestly, I don't think I have yet to come across a perfume from this shop that I hate or dislike to the point where I probably wouldn't wear it again. This is another banger. Loved it so much that i basically wore it for two days straight instead of trying on another sample as originally planned. This one is a beautiful mix of smoky and warmer fragrances that fades into a delicious mix that I can't even describe. One of my top favorites for sure!
Always such an amazing experience and lovely unique scents that turn heads. I actually was on to buy a bigger bottle of Goth as Fuck because I used it up so fast but now that I have it I've actually been using Harbinger everyday instead! Thank you for taking care of me and for creating regular lines of new scents I get to mix, match, and experiment with. You are the best. 🍬🐝
I LURVE Sucrabeille. My gateway scent was "Potion" (discontinued, tragically). "Harbinger" is a kind of dusky, mysterious, almost powdery scent. Slightly sweet, but not *real* sweet. More like if Sweet met Murderous in an enchanted cornfield and they started having a duel but ended up having a baby instead. Love it.
