Alright Guys.

After a lot of back and forth and discussion with people, I'm going to have to decline to post my recipes. It was just too much work, and has too much potential for bad things. I will however, let you guys all know where I bought my individual notes. I primarily used three vendors: Wellington Fragrances, Bulk Apothecary, and occasionally Save on Scents. I did use other places occasionally to get ahold of odd/niche notes. I encourage all of you to purchase a few things here or there, and play around with making your own scents. I was self taught, I did it all by research and experimentation. I trust that all of you could have a lot of fun, and are smart and creative enough to figure out your own thing. Thank you all for being there for me throughout this adventure. I'm sorry it had to end this way. Feel free to follow me on my personal Tumblr: http://coincidentallyvegan.tumblr.com/ ♥ e.

do you have any recs for other shops that have perfumes that are quality like yours. i hate to see you close i really wanted the harley quinn perfume :( im sorry that everything was too much

I know a lot of my fans like Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, and I personally enjoy Haus of Gloi quite a bit. I will still be listing a TON of stuff on eBay, I’m basically liquidating everything I have left, and will be starting it all out at half price, so keep an eye on that to see if you can snag a Harley Quinn.

After a Lot of Debate...

...with myself and people that I respect, I have decided to close the shop. I have been meaning to reopen it for a while now and I'm just too busy to even manage that, which is a good indication that I'm not going to have time to handle it regardless. I really appreciate everyone that has told me that they would be very sad if I closed my shop, and as much as I would love to be able to continue to do this forever, it's just gotten too expensive, too frustrating, and too disappointing to me and my customers to deal with the issues with shipping and supplies, as well as Etsy . What I will be doing is preparing everything that I have supplies left for, and listing them on a Delightful Rot specific eBay account. Once everything is gone, it's gone. I haven't start listing items yet, but the moment I do, I will post the link up here. I am incredibly thankful for all of the amazing customers I've had and how many of you were so understanding and supportive. I really hope that you can savor my scents for as long as they'll last!

Bad News

Two of the notes that I use in my Loki scent have been discontinued... this means that I will have to retire my current Loki scent. However, it's likely that I will reformulate, and offer a Loki II, or Agent of Asgard, something Loki related so there will still be an available Loki scent somehow! I'm determining how much Loki I have available and will update the quantities in my store!

Everyone, the spam isn’t over.

/b/ is planning to keep spamming, and they’re taking it to a personal level. Be super careful when tagging your selfies!!!

4chan confirmed for literal Shit

this is terrifying please take caution

if someone does this to you DO NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THEM. dont post about, dont say anything that would hint to the fact that you know about it. write down the post url, the blog url, the photo link, and any other information you have. then take it directly to the police. they can get arrested for defemation/slander, harassment, sexual harassment, and even pedophilia if youre a minor. if they know you know theyll likely delete it before anything can be done. someone did this to me when i was 14, by a 43 year old man from 4chan, and he edited it so i appeared to be nude and performing oral sex, and he was arrested for it. once one of them gets arrested/in legal trouble theyll all stop.

Non-perfume related, but important for my followers, along with advice how to handle this foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.

Sample Bottles

I'm getting a few reviews talking about how the sample bottles are a little difficult to open. I have gone through ten different vendors (not an exaggeration) after the original vendor changed their product and a significant amount of people were reporting leaks, and even I was noticing leaks as I prepared the samples. These newer bottles are the first of those ten different options that do not leak to excess. I would recommend instead of trying to pop them open all in one motion, twist the cap back and forth as you gently pull upwards. I guess I will continue to look for another vendor for sample bottles and search for the elusive easy-to-open but not leaking bottle once again.

I'm Seeing...

a few people that are super-bummed there's no House Martell. I was trying to hit all of the main houses, but I may go ahead and either do some additional smells with Bolton, Baelish and Martell, or do another series to add on. Re the Frey vs. Martell: I did a bit of research, trying to figure out how to narrow them all down (since there's around 30 or so houses in the books) and I guess the research that I did was turning more towards Frey than Martell, possibly being more influenced by the show instead of the book?

Avatar

Oh. I just followed you but wanted to ask~ If your Greyjoy perfume going to be offered in a separate single bottle? I think I saw you say the set would be available but not if single bottles of the various houses will be.

Avatar

Yes, all of the House scents will be available individually as well as in a set!

Avatar

Are there note listings anywhere for the GoT scents or not until they're available?

Avatar

They're still in development, so some things may change if I fiddle around, but I can give you general impressions:

House Arryn: A clean, airy scent. Ozone, tonka, pine, mint. 

House Baratheon: Earthy, hearty scent. Earth, chypre, ale, forests.

House Frey: Stone and fresh water scent. Stone, metal, salt water.

House Greyjoy: Deep, wet scent. Think what Cthulu would smell like. Ocean water, algae, salt water spray.

House Lannister:  Valorous and a little sinister. Blood, gold, ginger, resin.

House Stark: Winter is coming. Frozen forest, ice, snow, earth. 

House Targaryen: I'm sure you can guess that this one will include Dragon's Blood. Likely a bit of black vanilla, char, spice. 

House Tully: Water botanicals. Lotus, aquatic musk, cucumber. 

House Tyrell: Golden rose. Yellow roses, myrrh, benzoin.

Good question! It ships out of Las Vegas, NV, USA. No one will need to pay for shipping costs, even international, unless you desire tracking, and if you do win, I can give you a quote for tracking costs!
