"Southern charm" in perfume embodies a blend of warm, sweet and floral notes, often featuring magnolia, peach, vanilla and magnolia. These scents evoke Southern hospitality and nostalgia, ranging from fresh garden florals to rich, comforting, or sophisticated fruity florals. Magnolia, rose, jasmine and citrus are often used to mimic a Southern garden while peach nectar, raspberry and honeysuckle are sometimes combined with cognac or tea for depth.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- Cherry-Ka’s Trunk Southern Drawl Perfume Oil - A truly Southern Gothic scent with notes of low-hanging Spanish moss, cypress knees rising out of the bayou, a honeyed accent, dripped peach brandy and a spatter of gunpowder green tea.
- Demeter Sweet Tea Cologne - Tea, lemon and sugar. Lots and lots of sugar - the ultimate refreshment. Sweet tea isn't a drink, really, it's culture in a glass.
- Eldritch Whispers Southern Gothic EDP - An eerie blend of peche de vigne, cardamom rum, tonka and vanilla Cashmeran.
- Freyja's Daughters Southern Gothic Perfume Oil - Southern Gothic opens with the intoxicating scent of night blooming jasmine and black violet, lush, nocturnal, and gently overgrown. Powdered sugarcane lends a delicate sweetness, like dust on forgotten lace, while smooth velvet, dried rose buds and bay leaf evoke the hush of parlor rooms and faded grandeur. Incense lingers like memory, warm and spectral. This is haunted femininity - beautiful, ghostly, and tender. A scent for those drawn to the romance of ruin, elegant decay, and the quiet power of what endures. There are whispers across the South of mourning belles who drift through graveyards, trailing the scent of ghost flowers in their wake. Some speak of the Lady in White of Selma, Alabama, gliding between tombstones in search of a love lost to war. Others recall Alice Flagg of coastal Carolina, buried in her bridal gown, still clutching the memory of a forbidden ring. These women leave behind more than legend. They leave an atmosphere: heavy with night-blooming jasmine and shadowed violets, a hush of perfume that clings to the air like memory. Their presence lingers in the hush of dusk, in the bloom of moonflowers that open only for the dead. A spectral bouquet for every Southern belle who loved too deeply, mourned too long, and left behind a trail of petals no storm could wash away. It smells like sweet southern charm, decadent decay, romantic ruin and fading elegance. With notes of night-blooming jasmine, black violets, dried rosebuds, haunting graveyard mists, powdered sugarcane, velvet and moss. Inspired by the many southern belles who linger in heartbreak, mourning and loss.
- Sixteen92 The Sound and The Fury Parfum – Inspired by Southern Gothic literature, it is a warm and earthy green floral. This one works equally well in warm and cooler weather. With notes of southern sweet tea, Carolina jessamine, balsam, fern, warm musk and loam.
- Snowy White Owl Perfumery Carolinas Perfume Oil - This scent has fruits of blackberry and peach, popular in the south, sugar and lemon, because you can’t have sweet tea without, at least, sugar, and that beautiful southern floral note of heady magnolia. Mint tobacco is thrown in for a gourmand but the real diamond in this scent is reminiscent of the scent from Charleston, South Carolina, home of the sweetgrass. For many years, beautiful baskets have been made by the Gullah peoples living in these regions, their cultural knowledge coming from West Africa. The original baskets were made from bulrush but, later in the early 1900’s, sweetgrass came into the picture. With notes of sweetgrass, blackberry, juicy peach, breezy aquatic notes, mint tobacco, magnolia, sugar and lemon.
- The Little Book Eater Southern Belle Perfume Oil - Inspired by the classic southern belle. Made with the scents of delicious pink lemonade, fresh lime and sugar. The perfect combination for warm summer nights, parades and balls, and celebrating life in the heart of a community.
- Vintner's Reserve Southern Sweet Tea Perfume Oil – The perfect reminder of summer nights sitting on your front porch. A blend of black and white teas, made with heaping spoonfuls of sugar, served over ice and finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
