Vein & Velvet Perfume Oil, Gothic Hauntlands Collection, Mountain Gothic

Where gold once whispered promises beneath snow laced peaks, now only ghosts remain. Brothels soaked in perfume and secrets, mining claims chiseled with ambition and betrayal. Victorian wallpaper curls like parchment in the dry wind, and creaking floorboards that remember every whispered promise. It’s the fever dream of fortune, where every swing of the pickaxe hums with hope, until the silence of barren stone turns ambition into ash. High altitude ruins stand precariously with lost dreams, velvet rot, and the scent of mystery, murder, and mountain air.
A fragrance born from the haunted heights of Colorado’s gold rush past.
Inspired by the haunted brothels of Leadville and Cripple Creek, and the ghostly echoes of towns like St. Elmo and Tin Cup; Vein and Velvet captures the mood of a parlor long abandoned, perfumed air thick with secrets, the promise of a golden vein in barren mining claims and the relentless work of carving wealth from the earth, building grandeur where only wilderness once stood.
In the mountains of Colorado, the ghosts of madams, miners, and misfits still linger. 
In St. Elmo, visitors report ghostly figures in Victorian dress drifting past fogged windows. 
Tin Cup’s cemetery tells of sheriffs who didn’t survive the town’s rowdy reputation.
 In Cripple Creek, the once booming potential capital of Colorado, Myers Avenue, once lined with brothels and velvet parlors, the spirit of Pearl DeVere, the famed madam of the opulent Old Homestead, is said to drift through her former rooms in silk and perfume. 
In Leadville, the Delaware Hotel and Tabor Opera House echo with footsteps and voices from a gilded age that refused to die.
This fragrance blends red berries frozen in snow, spices and patchouli with aged leather, alpine woods, and the dry wind of high altitude decay. 
 Vein & Velvet is the promise of a golden vein in a barren mining claim, the velvet drapes in bittersweet brothels filled with regret and betrayal, where sweetness soured and spirits were broken. It is velvet rot, mystery, murder, and mountain memory.

Smells Like...
The Chill of Mountain air drifting through broken glass
Peeling wallpaper in a long abandoned brothel’s parlor, scorched by sunlight and secrets
Velvet worn and faded 
lingering sweetness brought by the hope of finding riches
Weather worn buildings basking in brittle mountain light
Ghost town ruins pale bleached by sun and dry wind
Wind through aspens, carrying whispers from the mine shaft below
Frozen berries crushed under boot, mingling with spice and musk
Patchouli and leather clinging to the bones of a forgotten corset
(Notes: Red Currant, Frozen berries, Cinnamon, Clove, Patchouli, Leather, Musk and Mountain Air)
Mood....
Sensual. Decayed. Sunlit and shadowed.
It’s the scent of a ghost town at golden hour, when the light hits just right and everything feels alive again, if only for a moment. It’s velvet and rust, lace and loss. 
Victorian decay in high altitude ruins.
A place where desire and despair once danced, and the echoes still hum through the floorboards.
It is a reminder that the mountain still holds the dreams, the pain and the ghsts of what was.
Inspired By...
The haunted brothels of Leadville, Silverton, and Cripple Creek, Colorado
The ghost towns of Gothic, Colorado and St. Elmo Colorado, where snow buries secrets
Mining claims soaked in ambition and betrayal
The scent of mountain air filtered through evergreens and old sins
Forgotten parlors, where the madam’s perfume still clings to the drapes
