Vanilla absolute infused with resins of dragon's blood, copal, and rosewood. Cognac essential oil and a swirl of white chocolate complete this dark play on vanilla.
Note: Due to the high percentage of vanilla absolute in this blend, you'll see the prices of this perfume are higher than normal. The vanilla orchid has had a rough time this year, leading to our suppliers charging over $350/ounce. That means that this blend will not be available in our sets of five. We also cannot ship outside of the United States. If it is ordered and your mailing address is outside of the United States, the product will be refunded on your order.
Your oddness has always been a bit on the darker side. You’ve found yourself wandering down unlit alleys since you were small, asking questions you shouldn’t. A touch too interested in anatomy, in finding out what’s inside, in the joy of discovery. Drawn to chemistry and potions, you never understood people who told you you were morbid, or strange. The beauty of life lies in the details, and there’s so much hope and kindness to be had, even if you’re pulled toward the murky ends of things. Finding the next advances that will move humanity forward, bring happiness and health, learning and science, well... Sometimes the questions that need answering are held in the hands of those willing to reach into the dark, unsettling places. Strangelings may not be understood by everyone, and may make others uncomfortable. But we’re here, in the poorly lit rooms, helping our fellow humans, even if they don’t understand.
Scent Notes: Vanilla absolute infused with resins of dragon's blood, copal, and rosewood. Cognac essential oil and a swirl of white chocolate complete this dark play on vanilla.
Omg this is incredible. A very grown-up vanilla. It’s really not sweet, but still very delicious. I was super intrigued by the dragons blood + vanilla combination and it did not disappoint. I already added a bigger bottle to my cart for my next order!
This was one of the many bottles of perfume I bought myself as a much needed act of self care during the month of October. I came for one, but left with so many. I'm glad I did. This one smells absolutely delectable. I sprayed one pump and my guy smelled it from across the house, or two rooms away. It's a grown up version of a very fancy vanilla, grounded by dragons blood and the slight hint of expensive cognac. The rosewood and copal nicely compliment white chocolate notes after the dry down. 10/10 so glad I bought this bottle. I'm even prouder that I was actually able to leave it be for 2 weeks to settle. It was worth the wait!
I wanted to love this one. Love the artwork and the name and all the notes listed but this just didn't work for me. It has an odd chemical smell that opens really strong. After drying down its a bit more palatable, but still smells off to me. Tried it after resting a month and still dont love it.
Might be great on someone else though.
This wasn’t my favorite of the samples I ordered, but my mom and husband LOVE it! Hence the 4 stars :) I do like it though - the cognac absolute and vanilla absolute come through strongest for me, then incense-y dragonsblood. There is a sweetness as well that may be the white chocolate, but mostly I get boozy-vanilla extract! Reminds me slightly of an old man’s aftershave, but not in a bad way. :)
When I was 15 and learning about paganism, there was a store I'd frequent where everyone was so great; accepting and kind. It was one of my favorite places on the planet. Strangeling smells EXACTLY like that, but better. It's warm and comforting, and a little exciting and mysterious. I could not love this more.
It smells dark and delicious. It goes well with my body chemistry. I couldn't stop smelling it for the first few days I was wearing it, excuse me sniffing my own wrists like a weirdo. I often apply it twice a day (in the morning and after I shower in the evening). I was expecting it to take a month to arrive but it took maybe a week? It arrived way sooner than I expected. Will absolutely buy this again.
This is my absolute favorite! I’ve tried quite a few different perfumes, and this is the stand out favorite. It’s soft and sexy, but still appropriate for the office. Strangeling lasts longer on me than any other perfume. My SO is a huge fan of this one and comments, “You smell so f**king good” every time I wear it.
It reminds me of a perfume I bought from a witchy woman at a swamp market when I was a tween. She told me it would draw positive forces to me as I got older if I wore it and said a spell she gave me. 20 years later I don’t remember the spell, but the scent has always lingered.
I have this one in the body butter. It smells very much like vanilla and coconut to me, which makes it ideal for warmer months. However, the body butter was a bit too greasy feeling for my liking.
This scent is a delicious gourmand, with plenty of vanilla and a kick of white chocolate! I wasn’t sure how those sweet notes would play with the others, but the whole blend is just delightful! A definite favorite.
I purchased”Strangeling” perfume sample and I absolutely loved it! It is a very beautiful vanilla with a hint of chocolate and only got better in the dry down. It lasted all day on me
I wasn't sure if I'd like this one based on scent notes because I'm not into boozy scents, but I liked the art on the bottle so I wanted to give it a chance. I actually like it a lot more than I thought I would. The vanilla presents itself more than the boozy scent notes, and it smells especially nice when it settles. It also layers with Fire in a spectacular way!
I ordered the scent ‘Strangeling’ after ordering a couple of samples and this was my fave. I love deep, sexy, heady vanillas and this one doesn’t disappoint. It’s got an air of booziness in it which I like, reminds me of a spiced/spiked eggnog. I get compliments every time I wear it, the dragons blood element makes it a touch more mysterious with that incense like smell. Definitely will turn heads in a good way, and you won’t smell like everyone else :)
I love vanilla but this scent read a little too heavy and boozy on me. I’m sure if I let it rest, it would’ve been okay, but I don’t think it was meant for me. Sadly, haha. I ended up swapping it for another scent with another Bee. Still, a wonderful try for anyone who loves Vanilla.
I bought the tin with Foundling, Wildling, Oddling, and Strangeling and OMG Oddling and Strangeling are delicious. The other two are nice and I like them, but I had to have these so I just bought them in full sizes.
Strangeling is one of the best things I've smelled and worn. It has the essence of wandering through a metaphysical shop, incense smoke trickling up to the ceiling. Beautiful.
