About this fragrance
The Grim Reaper opens with a surprising flash of bright citrus sparkle, sharp and electric from the very first breath.
As the fragrance deepens, a dramatic, shadowy heart comes into full bloom. A cool sweep of sea air carries blooming rose petals, translucent jasmine, and dewy lily of the valley, veiled in a whisper of lilac and crisp green leaves.
The scent anchors itself in a deep, haunting foundation. Rich balsam and earthy vetiver sink into warm tonka bean and smooth woods, wrapped in dark amber and a smoldering hint of cinnamon and clove, beneath a heavy blanket of clean powdery musk and a soft pour of vanilla, leaving a striking finish that feels mysterious, bold, and hauntingly beautiful. Compare to Lush® brand Death and Decay™.
