From the brand -
"1st Act: The perfume, languid and colourful, hypnotises me, I am facing two eyes that desire me. Leafy coolness, fruits, the magic of the encounter, The seduction begins.
2nd Act: The perfume rises up and paralyses me, The fangs ooze, wanting to sink into me. Throbbing heat mixed with blue cold, I think I am bitten. Sandalwood, tequila, intoxication.
3rd Act: Bestiality, brutality, journey, The perfume smells of hot ash. Life slips away. It now knows that all is beautiful."
Fragrantica - "Mortal Skin is complex magic & my favorite SHL. Disclaimer, this probably isn’t for beginners or the faint of heart, but it’s for me! This fragrance evokes a feeling of witch-i-ness. For any fragrance enthusiast who enjoys exploring that side of things… this is for you!! This is completely intoxicating and empowering. Blended to perfection, but not to the point where you can’t pick up on individual notes. I will definitely be grabbing a fb this fall for those crisp & spooky nights."
Fragrantica - "To me it's a bit like the non-marine wintery version of squid. frankincense myrrh ink miracle with a fruity opening that settles down to a creamy powdery sandalwood. "
Fragrantica - "But above all else, Mortal Skin is tempting. It’s the snake in the Garden of Eden, flicking its tongue against your ear and daring you not to eat the apple, but rather the blackberry. "The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice," the snake hisses. As you give in and spray this, biting into that poisoned berry, you can feel the sweet black juice oozing and dribbling down your neck and wrists, as your eyes turn pitch-black and vampiric. Then the snake wraps its coils around you further, and it tempts you to pull out your credit card..."
Fragrantica - "Wow, this is incredible. in my opinion this smells like a cherry/berry coca cola. this is a dark mysterious cologne thats just hard to wrap your nose around, but in a good way!! 10/10"
