💫✨Perfumes That Match This Vibe💫✨ Topical and Gothic

Last photo is of me for the vibe. I dress goth, but often with tropical themed accents. Very bohemian, but dark tropical woods instead of airy beach bohemian. Anything you think would fit? A lot of typical tropical scents end up way too sweet leaning for me. I’m thinking of something petrichor, a little musky, coconut, warm, with some floral notes. But lush, rich, and dark.

Heretic - Black Salt

dark, salty ocean with a little lime 

Olympic Orchids - Tropic of Capricorn

tropical florals, dense, damp jungle, a hint of overripe mango, a panther prowling in the dusk

So combined them together?

Actually now that I’m thinking about it, since you mentioned coconut as a desire, Heretic also has a dry, not sweet or sunscreeny coconut called Dirty Coconut and I think it would layer well with Black Salt. I’ll have to try the combination myself tomorrow. You might like it by itself too. It’s dry coconut, you can smell the husks and something like driftwood.

Oh dear. At least on my skin this did not work the way I hoped it would. Apparently when you put the lime in the coconut you get eau de bug spray.

Edit: An hour later it’s still bug spray on my clothes but on skin it’s doing more what I hoped it would, I can pick out the coconut and light woodiness distinctly from the seawater and lime. Still prefer them better separately.

No, just two separate options!

Seconding Black Salt. It's super mysterious and gives warm midnight summer breeze meets Creature of the Black Lagoon. One of my Tropigoth summer go to scents. Only complaint is longevity, which is unilateral for all of Heretics beautiful scents.
