Friday the 13th collection orders will begin processing during the week of September 23. We do not keep this collection “in stock”; instead, they are batched and shipped once the event concludes.

THE BACKROOMS is the thirteenth(!) in a collection of exclusive fragrances blended in commemoration of Friday the 13th. Released for a single day, fragrances in the Friday the 13th collection pay tribute to superstitions, omens, phobias, customs and lore surrounding this, the unluckiest of holidays. 

"If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.   
     

God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you..."

Taking things in a more modern direction this time, with a fragrance inspired by an urban legend with recent/internet age origins - The Backrooms. The original 2019 creepypasta has inspired everything from collaborative fiction to video games to films, and was listed as an influential source for the 2022 Apple TV+ series, Severance

It explores the concept of a vast, hidden labyrinth of empty rooms and hallways, simultaneously nightmare-inducing and weirdly nostalgic. If the idea of an endless maze of eerie, uninhabited hallways creeps you out (as it should), try being stuck there forever. And being hunted by ... something ...

Big no thanks.

☾ Notes: ☽

A disquieting, bleak, dreamlike maze of unnatural emptiness : Aging florescent light buzz, stark white walls, cold linoleum, endless rows of empty corridors, quiet footsteps quickening behi-

 

☾ Fragrance Family: ☽ An unsettling and austere atmospheric that interprets the concept of liminal space.

Similar In Mood To: Shares some general familial similarities with other conceptual atmospherics like The Bottling Room and Hush, but with an added element of dark earthiness that makes this less "sterile clean room" and more "long-abandoned shopping mall." We wish you luck in your travels.

 

* For Parfums shipping outside the U.S., Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) may be substituted for some or all of the Perfumer's Alcohol. This allows fragrances to be safely and legally shipped overseas without the huge price increase of surface mail. This does not affect the use of the product, although it may appear very slightly thicker than perfumer's alcohol (it is still sprayable, and can be used in the same way as a regular Parfum).
