PRAYING MANTHUS
Extrait de Parfum
$195.00
Praying Manthus introduces a cooler, more luminous terrain within the Strange Harvest universe. The name is a play on its hero note, osmanthus, but also on the mantis itself. Floral camouflage with a sharpened edge.
Built as a lactonic neo-gourmand, the fragrance explores cream through clarity rather than sweetness. The opening is pale, airy, and slightly vaporous. Soft vanilla and cool anisic facets create a creamy atmosphere lifted by air rather than density, while green stem notes cut through the softness and keep the structure taut.
As it moves into the heart, apricot-toned osmanthus and creamy white florals begin to emerge, balanced by rice vapor and sakamai. Those materials bring a mineral starchiness that keeps the lactonic facets cool and architectural. The milk remains porcelain. Nectar held in tension by starch, air, and green bite.
The dry down settles into a soft musky warmth that stays close to the skin. Quietly luminous, intimate, and restrained rather than overtly sweet or traditionally gourmand.
Note: Each fragrance is blended by hand in small batches and left unfiltered. Due to the high concentration of raw materials, slight cloudiness or sediment may occur.

Feminine, Spooky, Moody, Beautiful
This is now one of my favorite perfumes I own. Wearing this feels like opening my windows on a moody, rainy morning. The longer it’s on my skin, it smells like I’m roaming a haunted castle in a blushy smelling rain storm. I love that this isn’t a predictable rose scent. Instead it’s a spooky, feminine, ancient, melancholic rose scent that I can’t get enough of. I absolutely LOVE it. <3

My absolute favorite!!!!
My absolute favorite. Just picked the travel size up from a local shop and I immediately fell in love. Metallic and mysterious, but still smells clean and bright! I honestly can’t wait to run out of the travel size so that I have a reason to get the big one! I can’t stress enough that this is my FAVORITE perfume. Also lasts so long. Love!!!

I don't do florals or vanilla. So when I say this candle won me over immediately...It's so good!
It's grounded but polished. Like turning over fresh soil, except make it sexy. The saffron keeps it from going flat, adding a warmth that feels like skin, and not cologne.
If you hate sweet or powdery scents, this is your candle. It smells like the earth, a little like luxury, and a lot like someone you'd want to stand next to.

OBSESSED
I've seen the trend of tomato leaf candles lately and nothing compares to this candle. It's fresh and vibrant, and the scent carries. I bought another one for my office and the room smells fragrant even without lighting it. The quality of these candles are worth every penny. They burn slow, and even for a long lasting experience. I'm looking forward to trying them all <3

Captivating balance
octurnal Orchard exists in a refined in-between, where dark fruit and bruised rose meet without sentiment or excess. The opening is lush yet grounded — crushed berries, damp cedar bark, and wet earth — recalling something instinctive and familiar rather than decorative.
The rose emerges slowly, mineral and restrained, never sweet, never nostalgic. What lingers is a quiet tension: feral but composed, intimate yet architectural. Even after the flame is out, a clean warmth remains in the air.
This is not a candle that adorns a space — it defines one.

Favorite candles ever
Each one of these scents are incredible. They’re so unique, and the candles burn so well. The scent fills my home in the best way. Even my husband has good things to say while I’m burning them which is unheard of! I’ve been wearing the hori hori perfume and it’s such a clean but grounding scent. I can’t recommend any of these enough! I’m
Hooked.
