Scent type · Earthy · Atmospheric
A storm in a bottle. Rain, cold air, ozone, then warm sandalwood and clove.

Made for Every Body. Fragrance doesn’t care about your gender.

The Monster is strange, atmospheric, and beautifully unsettling. Not sweet. Not pretty. More like standing in a thunderstorm and realizing the thing in the distance is getting closer.

Notes: petrichor, thunder, ozone, sandalwood, cedar, clove

The Story

None of us asks for our existence. We are each formed imperfectly and limited by the resources available. The disparate areas of our life that make us who we are come together not at perfect edges and neat seams, but often at criss-crossing, jagged scars. And yet, we put one foot in front of the other, marching forward into the driving rain and icy wind in search of meaning. Who’s to tell us that we must make this journey alone? Who’s to tell us we aren’t beautiful for daring to try?

Also comes as an Embalming Oil

This scent is also made as a 4oz Embalming Oil — the same fragrance, mixed from the same master batch, in a dropper bottle for body and hair.

The roller is your perfume. The Embalming Oil hydrates, perfumes your hair, and layers underneath to make the roller last longer.

You can also try The Monster in The Penny Dreadfuls Sample Pack or the Strange and Unusual Sample Pack before committing to the full bottle.

Stunning. My favorite scent by Seance. It smells like a dark and stormy night with electricity in the air. ITS ALIVE!

i love this so much it really does just smell like dirt which i absolutely adore. it makes me feel like a dog that just rolled around on the wet grass and when paired with something more floral it is just divine and delicate and so creepily wonderful

I’ve been looking for this scent for my whole life. It captures the smell of petrichor perfectly, that moment when rain touches the earth, and the two elements combine. It’s earthy and spicy and nothing like any other perfume, and I find it oddly comforting.

As someone who loves the smell of the wet earth, this perfume definitely gives me those spring vibes I desperately crave to help me get through the dull and depressing winter weather in the midwest. When paired with Love and Eternal Darkness, it gives spring vibes in May/June in the midwest.

I love it smells so much like rain & dirt! But the clove overpowers it all for me personally. I wish it was heavier on the rain and stone, lovely but not what i expected :) But customer service was amazing!! Lovely business

I personally love this scent and it pairs very well with The Bride fragrance! It definitely has a strong wet earth smell with just that hint of clove in it. Its very unique smell indeed.

A very unique, earthy scent that truly encapsulates the smell of wet dirt after a rain storm. It’s addictive and intoxicating in the strangest and most beautiful way.

This smells so amazing! Reminds me of wet earth with a hint of spice. The clove is not overbearing and balanced so well 💚

Such an interesting scent! Don’t be fooled by not giving 5 stars- the scent is super cool and unique, and I think it’s one that will really smell differently on everyone and tailor to unique body chemistries.

In terms of its written description- I totally get the picture and inspiration of Frankenstein’s monster! It’s not going to be a scent that will work or appeal to everyone, but I love the creativity and see this as an art piece meant to convey a picture and a feeling. On me, I definitely got a more prominent ozone/metallic note. I haven’t been able to pick up a lot of the clove/sandalwood, but that may be more prominent on others. I think it will be a piece that will layer great with other scents as well to help add depth (I haven’t tried the bride scent yet)!

I would also say, although I’ve only had a chance to wear it once, I do find it a bit of a strong scent and it may cause headaches for people who are more sensitive to scents. I won’t reach for it everyday, but it’s fun!
