The Undertaking - Embalming Lotion Oil (plum & smoky wood)
Scent type · Woodsy
Woodsy, with a strange dark incense underneath. Moss, bark, plum.

What Is an Embalming Oil?
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.
Perfume Oil vs. Embalming Oil
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.
How to Use
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.
The Story
The wagon leaves the town square with coffins in tow. For the coach's rider, it is anything but a grim business. The road to the cemetery is pleasant and well-worn, and within minutes the smoke of the city's factories are replaced with the scents of cool air and wet moss. The rider knows he may never be invited to fanciful parties or lush parlors, but this moment is his alone to savor. There can be great pleasure in being misunderstood.
Pairings
Made to pair with the matching The Undertaking 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.

Reviews
Seriously obsessed with this scent & in love with the Embalming Oil! It's not greasy & makes my skin feel so good! Highly recommend! Also, the stickers were so cute I had to save them & the little sample of Cemetery was such a pleasant surprise! It smells wonderful! 😍
This is the best thing ever! My skin has never been softer and the fragrance is divine! And even the perfume sample was amazing will definitely be buying again
Thank you so much Amanda! I am so thrilled you love your new oil! Thank you for sharing! 🖤
A very interesting scent. This one is definitely a one that makes me want to keep smelling, because it has such an intriguing smell. It definitely makes me think of something or someone from the past traveling a road to an abandoned gravesite. It almost has sort of a medicinal scent, but the not the cough syrup type more of an erie sort of way(might be the plum). It is woodsy and deep. I love it.
Thank you so much for such a great review! I love the way you described the scent!
