Always very thorough with every scent dispatched, quick delivery to other continent, flawless experience. Black sheep smells like the cleanest lamb, wool, so fresh and clean, dark and mysterious as well.
"Beautiful blue bottles with coppery labels; a distinctive look, half steampunk and half Islamic-abstract; consistently good, properly worked-out perfumes with apt but not hyperbolic names; and an overall cast of high quality and good humor. Really good stuff."
This is hands down the best leather based scent that I've ever smelled. To me at least theres a pleasant ambery incense in the dry down combined with a fresh leather scent that keeps me sniffing myself throughout the day (not sorry).
House of Matriarch delivers excellence every time! A perfect combination of divine and earthly magic.

Not merely a surprise, but a revelation. It is oud as I have never experienced it before, meaning ~ completely pure, natural, potent, and embracing.

It's unlike any fragrance I've ever used. The packaging was so wonderful! Combined with a sample of another fragrance and a special "treat," I felt like I was opening gifts!
