Shadow
From the Enchanted Collection
It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear.
Step into the shadowed, wood-paneled halls of Oxford’s Bodleian Library, where ancient manuscripts hold secrets whispered across centuries. Inspired by the dark academia and timeless romance of A Discovery of Witches, Shadow is an invitation to cross the boundaries of time. It is a fragrance that bridges the modern academic world with the aristocratic, alchemical mysteries of Elizabethan London.
This sophisticated, woody-oriental fragrance opens with an intriguing, dry blend of herbal sage, wild cistus, and clean cedarwood—evoking the scent of historic strewing herbs and ink-stained parchment. At its heart, the scent deepens into a luxurious, tactile layer of rich leather accord and dark, earthy patchouli, wrapped in a golden, glowing amber. The journey concludes with a velvety base of warm sandalwood, sweet vanilla, and resinous labdanum, leaving a comforting, magical warmth that lingers in your space like an ancient spell.
