Venom - Secret of Shaman is a magickal blend of spices, resins, woods, fruit, tobacco, and leather; it feels like a ritual to wear. Not in a horror-movie-Halloween-costume-gothy-aesthetic-marketing-bullshit way, but it feels like it’s coming from a place of intention, respect, and ceremony.
On skin, it’s spicy and smoky while the sweetness from the fruit and dates is dry. As it dries down, the woods and vanilla become slightly more prominent than the fruit, but the constant is spice.
This became a new, instant favorite the second it hit my nose - I know I’m going to go through this bottle fast.
