Opium Den - Embalming Lotion Oil (frankincense & orange blossom)

Despite the name, our Embalming Oil is for the living. It’s a concentrated, super-hydrating lotion oil for body, hair, and bath—made with nourishing oils and free of parabens, palm oil, and harsh chemicals. Unlike heavy creams that sit on the surface, it sinks in within minutes, leaving skin soft, scented, and suspiciously well-preserved.

Same fragrance, mixed from the same master batch. Different job.

Perfume Oil — 10ml roller. Concentrated scent for pulse points. Your everyday perfume.

Embalming Oil — 4oz dropper. That same scent in a hydrating oil for body and hair.

Wear either. Wear both — the embalming oil layered underneath makes the perfume last longer.

Want to smell it first? We don’t make Embalming Oil samples, but because both come from the same master batch, the perfume oil sample smells exactly like this one. Try it in a sample pack.

A little goes a long way.
Hair oil / hair perfume: warm a small amount and smooth through mid-length to ends.
Body: start small and build—a few drops on damp skin, sinks in dry.
Bath: a capful under running water.
Pulse points: if you please.

As the light dims, it is said the other senses heighten as a response. Amidst the darkness and smoke of the Victorian opium den, you find yourself flooded by a new awareness of the scents around you. The room now swirls with a miasma of myrrh, patchouli, old wood, coffee, and vanilla. As your limbs become heavy, consider a truth of human experience: we often only encounter the new when we abandon the familiar.

Made to pair with the matching Opium Den Perfume Oil—wear the oil for scent, then layer this embalming oil on top to deepen it and make it last. Lovely through the ends of your hair, too.
