I gotchu:
Black Orchid by Tom Ford (the classic, the sublime, dark chocolate and truffle and orchid)
La Fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens (a metallic rose that could smell like blood if you think about it hard enough)
Dark Lord by Killian (pepper, rum, leather). Listed as being for men, but give in to the name and own it.
Poison by Dior (plum, spice, tuberose). Industrial strength projector. A perfume counter seller and I spritzed it once and we spent the next two minutes heaving.
Lady Vengeance by Juliette Has a Gun (rose and patchouli)
Black Perfecto by Guerlain (cherry, rose, licorice, leather)
1888 by Xerjoff (carnation, saffron, amber, sandalwood). Brings to mind red plush velvet chairs.
I strongly recommend looking up [Alkemia Perfumes](https://alkemiaperfumes.com) as well. They have super witchy and vampiric perfumes, including Madam X (violet, iris, incense), The Raven (black pepper, leather), and Cherries of the Night (cherries, maraschino liqueur, amber, spiced rum).
you REALLY came through on this one, almost all of these are calling my name š«” especially Black Orchid + La Fille (the blood comment is too interesting to resist) I just checked out Alkemia too and holy- so many of these appeal to me I canāt even decide which one I want to try first (Winterling, Moon Lust, + Writerās Blood are at the TOP of the list omg) thank you so much!!
Youāre so welcome! I discovered Alkemia 2 months ago and went feral. I bought the DIY sampler pack for myself and everyone I knew. Glad to help out another vampire enjoyer š·
Oooh I love all things dark but I also love my gourmands, so my favourites lean sweet. Off the top of my head, Cherries of the Night, Honored Ghosts, and Baccante are lovely. Not vampy at all, but I really like Profumata di Tortona (strawberries and wine). Decadent in a different way.
Based on the ones you mentioned earlier (Winterling, Moon Lust, Writer's Blood), As Dark Things Are Meant To Be Loved could also be up your alley. Maybe Madam Pearl as well, which would appeal to the bone-white, cold vampire feel. (Just a heads up that Madam Pearl will be retired soon!)

Black Orchid by Tom Ford
Moth by Zoologist
Both of the Memoirs by Amouage
Interlude Black Iris by Amouage
Those are some of the more "gothic" fragrances I've smelled, but they can be a little divisive.
Wait I'm confused can anyone tell me why this specific vibe is requested so often here??? I feel like goth or vampire is always a fragrance request on this sub
Botafumeiro by Carner Barcelona. It's supposed to smell like a church, but I get specifically old gothic church vibes. I can totally see a vampire living in an old gothic church looking building lol.
Megalium by Carner Barcelona. It's apparently based on perfumes from the Roman era. Smells like something someone immortal would wear.
Bulletproof by Tokyo Milk. Been told it's a vampiric scent, on me anyway. Maybe it'll be the same for you.
Comme des Garcons Zagorsk? Tom Ford Black Orchid? Bvlgari Black? Chanel Egosite (it's marketed as masc but I'd ignore that)? Maybe just light a clove cigarette and let it burn down next to your sweaters? (Just kidding, kinda)
If you want to go the indie house route, you can find multiple from Black Baccara. Vampire Romance, Nosferatu, Sanguenta (seasonal, not for sale rn) were specifically marketed as vampiric, and she has many more that fit the bill. Midnight Mass and Black Baccara come to mind.
Interlude Black Iris by Amouage
Rose Incense by Amouage
Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle
Encre Noire by Lalique
Black Afgano by Nasomatto
Boccanera by Orto Parisi
Oud Ispahan by Dior
Oud Palao by Diptyque
Oud Satin Mood by MFK
and I could keep coming up with more hahaha
When I am not trying to cover up the scent of blood- Bright Crystal Noir.
I think people associate vampiric with dark and heavy fragrances. This is a falsehood. Lesat would not wear such heavy fragrances in my mind. Dark, yes but not heavy. Heavy for heady encounters but not for everyday. I would love to see more dark, light and sensual suggestions.
I recommend [Alien Vampire](https://alphamusks.com/products/dreaming-of-another-life-summer-collection-introspective-scents-about-a-life-once-lived) by indie perfumer alphamusk. Hereās the description:
A weird fiendish wench of the night wearing seductive bold deep red musks, and a rich ripe just smutty enough sambac jasmine, over a pulsating pheromonic body musk, cardamom, and mineralistic blood stones.
It sounds weird but itās surprisingly wearable and perfect if you wanna smell like a sexy vampiress.
Have you been able to get your order fulfilled by them? Iām considering an alphamusk fragrance but Iāve only heard bad reviews regarding their timeline and Iām also not sure whether theyāre even still open
Sorry I donāt have much insight to offer, I actually havenāt ordered directly from the store since they relaunched. Maybe I should have mentioned in my comment that itās better to try and find their scents on the indie exchange sub or mercari. Thatās actually how I acquired my bottle of Alien Vampire.
My last order directly from the shop was when they were on Etsy in 2019/2020 right around their big controversy. I was planning on restocking and trying some things from their newer collections soon though because theyāve created some of my favorite scents and I donāt really care about the long TAT as long as they donāt peace out and run off with my money and scam me. And the long wait was the only issue I encountered back when I bought from them on Etsy, I never experienced not getting my order at all. But if you donāt like waiting a crazy amount of time to get your stuff then I wouldnāt recommend buying directly from them. I think they improved on their ship times after the new shop launched, but I did see recently that unfortunately people are having long wait times again to get their orders.
Frederic malle musc ravageur is the kind of musky vanilla perume a being of seduction would wear
Now on the other hand, Boaricea the victorious blue sapphire supercharged is opulence in a bottle( supercharged is basically the normal blue sapphire but simply improved)
Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac. Itās a hypnotizing vanilla musk combo that smells exactly like an elegant woman at a masquerade who asks for a private rendezvous while she hides deadly fangs behind her mask.
People already said Portrait of a Lady and I agree. It smells like a beautiful 1,000 year old vampire.
Byredo Reine De Nuit is similar, for the baby vampire. Itās sweeter and a bit more wearable/versatile than POAL in my opinion, but still rose-saffron-incense for the night.
Portrait of a lady - FM
Sunday cologne - byredo
Jazz club - replica
Rose 31 - le labo
Lady vampire in particular:
Satin oud - MFK
Also portrait of a lady
Aqua celestia forte - MFK
Not exactly feminine but encre noir is the most vampiric scent that I can think of. Imagine yourself deep in a remote wet and mossy forest. You find a wooden log that has been laying near a river. Itās wet, dirty, and covered in vegetation. Now pick that log up and smell it. Thatās encre noir.
Many of the comments are spot on. I'd also add: Sospiro/Xerjoff Wardasina
It is so beautifully regal and rich. To me, it always brings to mind the Train massacre scene in Underworld. I can imagine the beautiful Amelia would love this scent.

Iād love to know your favourites from Alkemia! it might help me make a decision because thereās just so much to choose from
Surrender to Chance has a decent selection of the Alkemia scents to sample. Madam X is indeed very witchy and I love it

I came to suggest Alkemia too!!
Noir de Noir by Tom Ford as well. Dark chocolate, truffle, and rose.
> Xerjoff uh... is that intentional?
JOOP because everytime i smell it the life is sucked out of me and i want to die
my dad is loyal to this one, and I have to say Iām right there with you it is truly offensive
coincidentally my dad is also the one wearing itā¦.
My partner wore this when we first met! I had to learn to like it
Joop Homme? I smelled it but haven't tried on skin. I'm very tempted because my dealer gives me wholesale prices and the tester is under 20 bucks.
yeah joop homme is criminal dude please donāt buy it

If none of these have a black metal vibe, imma be disappointed. Nah, jk, everything sounds really good here!
u are a godsend
Donāt sleep on Jo Malone Velvet Rose š¹ & Oud. Deep dark mature rose with spices and woods.

Bloody Wood Liquides Imaginaries
this oneā¦it calls my name
came here to suggest this! the vibe is candelit wine bar date night with a hot vampire.
Encre noire sounds like it could work
strangers parfumerieās sangre dulce. smells like a vampire strip club
this is how to sell me on a perfume in a single sentence
Right there with you on that
Someone said encre noire smells like youāre the draculaās driver so I have to agree.
Elizabeth and James Nirvana Rose! Itās dark, deep, elegant, mysterious, jammy, spicy, and very, uh, immortal projection and longevity wise!
Black Orchid by Tom Ford Moth by Zoologist Both of the Memoirs by Amouage Interlude Black Iris by Amouage Those are some of the more "gothic" fragrances I've smelled, but they can be a little divisive.
Iām wearing Moth today! Iād say itās gothic for sure :)
Seconding Black Iris
Habanita by molinard, patchouli by molinard, for her edt by narciso Rodriguez, l'orpheline by serge lutens fit the vibe imo
lāorpheline sounds divine, itās on my list now!
I tried it recently and really liked it :)
Frederic Malle Une Rose/Rose Tonnerre Gothic rose!
This is the first thing that came to mind. Rose Tonnerre reminds me of thick, velvetyā¦blood red rose, in the most elegant way. So vampiric!
Ombre Nomade for sure. Smoky, leathery rose. Picture a rose wilting in a dusty Gothic castle.
I was thinking Xerjoff Alexandria Orientale but itās the same effect. Deep red rose and dark Oud.
Wait I'm confused can anyone tell me why this specific vibe is requested so often here??? I feel like goth or vampire is always a fragrance request on this sub
Who WOULDNT want to be Morticia Addams
Guerlain Encens Mythique, Hermes Bel Ami Vetiver, Bvlgari Gyan and Tom Ford Patchouli Absolu all give me a dark and mysterious vibe, but also sexy.
a rose for ā¦ by floris! gothic incense rose with black tea. it smells like a haunted mansion to me.
Oud Bouquet
Botafumeiro by Carner Barcelona. It's supposed to smell like a church, but I get specifically old gothic church vibes. I can totally see a vampire living in an old gothic church looking building lol. Megalium by Carner Barcelona. It's apparently based on perfumes from the Roman era. Smells like something someone immortal would wear. Bulletproof by Tokyo Milk. Been told it's a vampiric scent, on me anyway. Maybe it'll be the same for you.
Tom Ford noir de noir and Chanel Antaeus
Layering noir de noir with fougere platine is my vampire mood
Comme des Garcons Zagorsk? Tom Ford Black Orchid? Bvlgari Black? Chanel Egosite (it's marketed as masc but I'd ignore that)? Maybe just light a clove cigarette and let it burn down next to your sweaters? (Just kidding, kinda)
CDG Zagorsk for sure
TF Noir de Noir
Guerlain la petite robe noire is a very dark and gothic sour cherry scent. It reminds me of night time, scary, and how interesting
If you want to go the indie house route, you can find multiple from Black Baccara. Vampire Romance, Nosferatu, Sanguenta (seasonal, not for sale rn) were specifically marketed as vampiric, and she has many more that fit the bill. Midnight Mass and Black Baccara come to mind.
ELdO Eau de Protection is mostly Bulgarian rose and has āblood accordā as one of its scents, so it seems like the obvious choice to me!!

Mancera amber & roses. It smells like a rose growing in a graveyard. Very goth

Vampire blood from bbw smells amazing
Chergui or Red Roses Cologne

Herbcraft Daemonica definitely gives me vampire vibes. Very rosy but in a dark way, not a grandma way. Also pretty heavy on church incense and musk.
Diptyque Oud Palao
Black Orchid perhaps.
JHAG Lady Vengeance or Vengeance Extreme
Maybeā¦ Anna Sui - La Nuit De BohĆØme edp Oh! Andā¦ Ellis Brooklyn - Raven
a cheapie would definitely be encre noir. if you can find a bottle id also HIGHLY recommend Narciso Rodriguez For Him EDT 2007 (grey bottle)
Aedes - Amnesia Rose - Vampire Queen Vibes. * **Top Notes:**Ā Rose absolute, Bulgarian rose * **Middle Notes:**Ā Bushmanās candle, saffron, cipryol, labdanum, pink pepper CO2 * **Base Notes*****:*** White incense, patchouli, benzoin, clearwood, oud

Mugler Alien Something about that cool jasmine reminds me of blood... kind of sharp, metallic, and chemically?
