MAÎTRE DU MYSTÈRE: A MAGICAL COLOGNE INSPIRED BY HOUDINI

The Great Houdini

Harry Houdini was a master mistifier and the most famous man in the world at the height of his stage act. With his wife Bess as his assistant, he performed for the Romanovs, may have been a spy for the CIA during the First World War, and led a crusade against fraudulent mediums and psychics who he believed were taking advantage of the trauma and grief caused by the war and the outbreak of Spanish influenza.

Escape Artist

His escapes from straight jackets, the Chinese Water Torture Cell, and a Siberian prison car never failed to amaze. The great magician could escape from anything - and some say his greatest escape is still to come. After a punch to the gut exacerbated an acute case of appendicitis, Houdini died on Halloween night in 1926. Seances are still held to this day. Will the Master of Mystery return?

This cologne oil was inspired by the scent left behind on a trove of Houdini’s papers and books. A blend of Peru balsam, chai tea, bergamot, and smoke evoke magic and mystery. Note: Peru Balsam is a thick resin and leaves reddish flecks that settle. This is normal and nothing needs to be done but you can shake it if you like.

Please note that the Peru Balsam in this perfume separates so don’t be alarmed if it settles or you see chunks

None of my fragrances or balms should ever be ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals, and if you are pregnant it’s not a good idea to use essential oils. Additionally, essential/fragrance oils are very potent and can cause allergies or rashes. Always test a fragrance (mine or anyone else’s) on a small patch of skin to make sure that it won’t bother you. Ingredients are listed in each product listing, if you have a known allergy to one of the ingredients do not buy. If you have a reaction to this product, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention (if serious). Please also let me know if you have a reaction so that I may note it for my record keeping.
