What People Are Saying

I was captivated by the gorgeous Gothic packaging and artwork. The scents are subtle yet lasting - after lighting "Decapitation," my home was beautifully filled with fragrance that lingered for hours. I’m so impressed, I’m already ordering again!

Very refreshing to deal with a company with a great quality product who also extends that quality to their service, packaging and delivery...

P. BURKWOOD

“I now don't want to use any other cleanser. Use it in the morning and evenings. It doesn't dry the skin and leaves it nicely clean.”

Nikolay Balushev

“My skin feels soft and clean after using this cleanser because it’s very gentle and doesn't dry out my skin. i combine with the facial scrub every other day.”
