A coimetrophile is an individual who has a deep appreciation and fascination with cemeteries and burial grounds. Coimetrophiles find beauty, tranquility, and historical significance in cemeteries, often spending time exploring them to admire the artistry of gravestones, monuments and the peaceful, reflective nature of these spaces. Their interest can encompass aspects such as the architectural design of mausoleums and crypts, the symbolism and inscriptions on tombstones, the landscaping of the cemetery grounds, and the study of historical figures buried there.
The fragrances in this sampler are all associated with graveyards or cemeteries. I am a coimetrophile and have always visited them on my travels. Besides the beauty of graves, headstones, masoleums, etc., it is extremely interesting to see how other countries and cultures bury and honor their dead. These fragrances focus on the ground of the graveyard/cemetery so these are fragrances with notes of overturned dirt, moss, patchouli, rain, grass, stones, fading florals, etc.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler.

- Sixteen92 0001 Cemetery Lane Extrait de Parfum - 0001 Cemetery Lane is part of Sixteen92's Legacy Collection. It was originally released with the Mysterious & Spooky Halloween 2020 Collection, inspired by everyone's favorite family - The Addamses. It is a chilly autumnal atmospheric fragrance with notes of crunchy decaying leaves, burning cedar and pine tar, crumbling limestone, deadly nightshade, desiccated herbs and chilly Autumn rain.
- PULP Fragrance Eagle Hill Cemetery Perfume Oil - An ivy-covered mausoleum, old paving stones, cool damp soil, a creaky iron gate, faded bouquets and the spark of a match freshly-lit to see your way. A highly atmospheric scent evoking an evening spent in a dewy, cool graveyard. Fading, faint blooms of jasmine and lily adorn a mausoleum in the distance. Inspired by the misty cemetery locale in Dark Shadows, the campy supernatural soap opera from the 1960's.
- Sixteen92 Strigoi Extrait de Parfum - Strigoi is part of Sixteen92's Legacy Collection. It was originally released as part of the Autumn 2021 Undead Collection. The Strigoi is commonly linked to vampirism, but its roots are more closely aligned with witches and sorcerers. Over the years legends have evolved and by the 19th century the Strigoi was a staple of Romanian folklore more closely resembling vampires. It is commonly assumed that Strigoi legends played a large part in Bram Stoker's character development of Count Dracula. It is a dark, damp, mossy green atmospheric fragrance with notes of freshly exhumed funerary boxes, a circle of salt, cold iron stake, heavy stone, stinging rain, blood and fire.
