Notes: fresh figs, ferns, moss, salty tears, lily

None of our fragrances are gendered. Smoke, leather, and graveyard dirt have no opinion on who’s wearing them.

The Sad Hour is what you reach for when a scent needs a breath of fresh air- green, cool, and quietly alive.

Fresh figs and damp ferns press softly against the air, grounded by moss and the faint trace of tears... I mean, salt.

The Story

Based off an 1800s casket plate.

The Victorians often placed clocks on the coffins of the deceased, whereby the instrument’s hands were frozen at the time of passing. Time stood still at the moment of death, they believed. Supposing that the clock kept running, however, it was thought that the departed’s spirit would return to the living world as a malicious specter. Indeed, there may be such a thing as having too much time on one’s hands.

Pairings

If a scent ever feels too heavy, too sweet, or too dense—this is your solution.

The Sad Hour softens, lifts, and adds a living green edge without overpowering. Fresh and Green.

Layer it with anything… or pair it with deeper scents like The Undertaking, Cemetery, or The Monster for contrast. Or for that extra greenery- The Wardian Case body spray.
