In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

44BC by Scent Nostalgia is a floral green blend that opens with rose and lily, then turns creamier and more full-bodied as tuberose, jasmine and mimosa come forward.

Reviews →

Death by Andromeda's Curse opens with a cold rush of soil tincture and spicy red carnation. As the perfume oil settles on skin, steeped black tea and damp lily soften the sharp earth, while black musk and frankincense anchor the base. It delivers a dark atmospheric wear designed for crisp autumn afternoons.
