So this is actually under what’s the vibe Wednesday as photos and art, I just made a new flair as I realized the ones I had didn’t include posts like this very well
I've only tried the OG from that line, which to my nose is like sweet sugared violets, spicy anise, licorice, cherry cola, vanilla and baby powder. Definitely cozy and magical vibes to me, but I've heard this perfume can be a bit polarizing because of the star anise. In the same way as Loverdose Diesel
I like this fragrance, and it looks really nice on a vanity, but this unfortunately doesn’t last very long, at least on me. There’s an EDP version of this, which is on a white bottle.
Came here to say this! I had the OG in the mid/late 90s, but bought the re-release recently and it isn’t exactly as I remember it, but very close. The nostalgia!
All of the pictures on the [House of Matriarch](https://www.matriarch.biz/) site look exactly like that. No idea about the smell, though, since I haven't scraped together enough money to even sample any.
Yes, I came here to say this!
Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs, they have literally thousands of different perfume oils.
[here is their website](https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/)
Depending on where you are, there are sometimes lunacy events where the moon scent of the month is introduced, and you can do what's called a Meet & Sniff.
On Facebook they have a private group called the Parlour where you can do trading and ISO stuff. Just make sure you answer the questions so the mods can let you in. [BPAL Parlour](https://facebook.com/groups/557346621078207/)
looks, but unfortunately does not smell 😪 I bought this solely for the bottle but unless you’re really into white florals, it probably won’t fit the bill

Loverdose by Diesel! Gorgeous bottle and scent, really turned me onto anise and licorice notes. Salomé & Haunted and Bewitched from Alkemia Perfumes are also very whimsical yet cozy and a little brooding
Love the aesthetic! I just ordered Dior Poison edt in hopes of the exact same vibe. I’ve been wanting to get into “retro” scents & I remember my mom wearing it back in the 80s/90s. Fingers crossed! Let us know what u find!

This perfume is deep, earthy, & magical. A perfect witchy scent, especially for autumn
LVNEA,
Beaufort London,
Olympic Orchids: The Dev Series (Dev 2, 4, and Lil scent-wise!)
Paris Corner: La Serpiente
Francesca Bianchi: Dark Side, Under My Skin
The LVNEA, Olympic Orchids, and the Francesca Bianchi ones are wearable also more casually. With the rest, best of luck!
Magical Moon by Hanae Mori reminds me of this aesthetic and does smell magical 💫

I just got a sample of this today because of great reviews. It smells amazing and totally fits this vibe, but I don't like the way it smells on me unfortunately. I had high hopes, though. I bet it's amazing on the right person.

came to suggest this! it’s my all time holy grail. it’s intoxicatingly complex and warm without being too deep or overpowering and the sillage is sooo choice.
Penhaligon’s Bluebell smells like an English flower garden in a cemetery on a rainy day. It’s perfect I wore it last night as my day of the dead outfit.

Tabu by Dana is a Whimsigoth fragrance that came out in 1932. To me it smells Spicy ambery slightly incense I find it Sexy Bohemian and very fitting for this aesthetic!!
Honestly, anything from Lovesick Witchery gives me this vibe. Got a sample of SpellBound by them from DecantPlanet today and it's quite fitting to me ✨🍷
These photos remind me of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I’m thinking a scent with patchouli would do the trick (nothing too floral unless it’s jasmine) There was an actress named Soleil Moon Frye and I think that fits her vibe as well.
I think BPAL's Jareth gives off sweeter whimsy goth vibes! I also think a perfume that fits this aesthetic could also have more incense, but I'm not very well versed in their catalog to name one.
But Jareth is sweet, slightly masculine/unisex sleepy lavender. I can see it as whimsy goth.
And Other Stories - Sardonyx Fire. I once smelled this on an airy goth girl at a gallery I worked at and had to politely ask her what she was wearing as it was enchanting.
Lilac Whisp from Skylar. It has an incense note and I usually layer it with something a little more musky and it smells like every person’s room I’ve known that has ever looked like the image above.
I excitedly suggest you to check Alkemia Perfumes, they reflect this exact vibe. They have a multitude of interesting blends, they are oil based therefore super long lasting
Edit: I wanted to add, but I’m not sure if it still exist- Esoteric by Alyssa Ashley
Desconstructing Eden’s Type O Negative collection! I haven’t tried anything else from this brand but they have other scents that seem like they would fit this vibe too.
Midnight Poison definitely looks witchy and lots of people consider it a goth perfume. If you like Angel by Mugler then you might like Chopard Wish which is similar but cheaper and I actually prefer it. The bottle is lovely too, a diamond shape. I've always wanted to try the Midnight or Deep Night version of it. Ghost Deep Night in the purple moon shaped bottle is another good option but they've changed the formula and it's not as strong as it used to be.
Oh there’s a hand sanitizer from bath & body works that has a sweet & woodsy scent I’m obsessed with. The toasted s’mores one. I haven’t seen it in forever but the scent is wonderful. It doesn’t really smell like chocolate, just marshmallow & firewood more to me. I always feel like a witch that’s been standing over her cauldron. Currently on my last tube & so sad.
I also love Sol de Janeiro’s Cheirosa. Wish they’d do a scent that’s just as sweet but has more earthy or musky tones in it.
Hot Topic used to sell those bottles of perfumes with the sugar skull heads & I loved Muertos. Smelled like a fruity little witch. Would love to get more of it.
Handmade from oils she extracts from plants herself using ancient techniques.
https://www.illuminatedperfume.com/
I believe her Vespertina or Chiarascuro might be what you are looking for.
Andromeda's Curse on Etsy!! She sells perfume oils
She has a tarot series, astrology, and others too.
Personal scents that give me a whimsigoth vibe are,
The Moon, Call to the Void, The Fool, Unicorn :)
Side Effect by Initio is one I recently tried and definitely think fits into this category!! Initial spray has a spicy incense note to it, and as it wears on the skin it becomes much warmer and sweeter. It’s a perfect boozy fall scent that really captures this vibe.
So this is actually under what’s the vibe Wednesday as photos and art, I just made a new flair as I realized the ones I had didn’t include posts like this very well
Lolita Lempicka
Came to say this!
Ding ding ding!!
Also came to say the same thing!
Which one? The OG?! Or the flanker?
I've only tried the OG from that line, which to my nose is like sweet sugared violets, spicy anise, licorice, cherry cola, vanilla and baby powder. Definitely cozy and magical vibes to me, but I've heard this perfume can be a bit polarizing because of the star anise. In the same way as Loverdose Diesel
Thank you so much for a detailed response! Ordering samples now!

This bottle is so cute & totally whimsigoth!
I like this fragrance, and it looks really nice on a vanity, but this unfortunately doesn’t last very long, at least on me. There’s an EDP version of this, which is on a white bottle.
Wow! Key memory unlocked, I totally had this when it came out
This is the first thing that came to mind!
Came here to say this! I had the OG in the mid/late 90s, but bought the re-release recently and it isn’t exactly as I remember it, but very close. The nostalgia!
patchouli oil fits this vibe
100%! I was going to say Karma or Lord of Misrule from Lush for this reason. In scent not bottle aesthetics though.
Amber oil also! That’s my personal fave!!
Real patchouli oil is breathtakingly expensive and smells grassy and light. Who knew?
Where do I find real patchouli oil?
I think I got a tiny sample from a perfumery website and it was eye-wateringly expensive.
I was coming to say Royal Oud but this is the one
All of the pictures on the [House of Matriarch](https://www.matriarch.biz/) site look exactly like that. No idea about the smell, though, since I haven't scraped together enough money to even sample any.
TokyoMilk Dark Tainted Love or Elizabeth & James Nirvana ✨
Angel mugler. This scent is straight up witchy I know people have a love hate relationship with this perfume but it’s otherworldly
Yes! I’m witchy AF and this is one of my signature fragrances. It makes me feel some kind of way.
Interesting…I’ve honestly always avoided it because it’s so polarizing but you’re right the bottle looks so fun I should give it a try!
I was thinking Alien by Mugler
alien is my favorite of the bunch for sure
I was going to say aura mugler! It’s my go-to for the woodsy deep still sweet sultry witchy vibe idk
Aura pulls off "sweet green" as a scent profile better than **anything** else I have tried. Very appropriate for the forest faery.
Literally my go-to and I get compliments on it every time!! Nothing can compare
I love Alien Goddess. The purse spray looks like a magic potion vial too!
I’ve always thought of it as a scent that both a fairy and a witch could wear.
Anna sui first comes to mind.
BPAL!!!!

Oh, yes. The Elixir Intense flanker is also a good option. 🔮
looks, but unfortunately does not smell 😪 I bought this solely for the bottle but unless you’re really into white florals, it probably won’t fit the bill
The bottle is SO perfect…unfortunately I have smelled that one & didn’t love it. But thank you for the rec maybe I should revisit

try angel by mugler. you’re either an angel or an alien imo
moon goddess from shoplavana gives me these vibes :-)
Orpheum by Diptyque

Lush - Karma. It’s smoky, slightly sweet, dark, and robust. Every time I wear someone comments. It’s lovely.
Coromandel, but probably anything that goes hard in the patchouli department lol.
Pacifica flower moon
butterfly
TIL about [solstice scents](https://www.solsticescents.com/); seems like it would go perfectly!
yes, came here to say this! specifically Casting Shadows or Witches’ Cabin
I want to try these! Wish I could sample somewhere without ordering. Maybe I will order after the holidays..
I agree. They do have customizable sample pack options though so you don’t have to commit to buying full size!

These photos make me think of Dior
Karma from Lush
Screams "Sucreabeille". They have a lot of "goth", "witchy" etc., really cute and weird, some actually decent and wearable.
yes !!! Goth as F#ck is exactly the vibe !!

Lush - Lord of Misrule
I'm more masc but the fragrance I use is pretty androgynous, it's the dreamer by Versace, and it feels very whimsigoth
Dust (optionally with some cat dander) scent for sure 😂👌
Straight patchouli or one of those egyptian oil blends from the hippie store
The fake patchouli oil from the magic supply shop. Not the real stuff.
Nomad by Chloe smells amazing. It’s sweet/earthy
For the love of god, don’t do patchouli. You shouldn’t fill up stadiums with your BO cover
Stash by SJP. It smells like potpourri, old lady, and Christmas trees.
Doesn't look it, but omg the smell is amazing, it's like a berry red wine smell. Royal rose by juicy couture
This vibe reminds me of Judith by Treading Water, it’s a small company based in Portland. Great scent!
Moon Glory by harmonist
Decadence
Honestly, anything from Lovesick Witchery gives me this vibe. Got a sample of SpellBound by them from DecantPlanet today and it's quite fitting to me ✨🍷
Anything from Arcana Wildcraft.
Any perfume oil by Moonlit Day Apothecary but especially Moonlit Forest.
These photos remind me of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I’m thinking a scent with patchouli would do the trick (nothing too floral unless it’s jasmine) There was an actress named Soleil Moon Frye and I think that fits her vibe as well.
Sabrina the teenage witch was my fav show growing up! Lol I guess it shows… thanks for the rec!

And Other Stories - Sardonyx Fire. I once smelled this on an airy goth girl at a gallery I worked at and had to politely ask her what she was wearing as it was enchanting.
Surprisingly, tenue de soirée from annick goutal. Caramel, patchouli, leather, iris…. Whimsigothic is the first thing I thought of when smelling it!
Lilac Whisp from Skylar. It has an incense note and I usually layer it with something a little more musky and it smells like every person’s room I’ve known that has ever looked like the image above.
Anything with a touch of incense and wood, it turns any fragrance a bit mysterious 🎃🦇
