Everybody wants a sniff of the gods of the deep, and that’s why Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs has created a bunch of perfumes inspired by HP Lovecraft. Including – yes – a Cthulhu scent. Here’s how they describe it:

A creeping, wet, slithering scent, dripping with seaweed, oceanic plants and dark, unfathomable waters.

What is wrong with me that I totally want to buy that now?

I’m also intrigued by the smell of Nyarlathotep:

Brooding, yet electric: the scent of buried secrets, roiling nightmares, the essence of the Crawling Chaos, the Father of Knives and Locusts, the Hunter in the Dark. This is the blackest of ritual incenses charged with flashes of ozone.

Seriously, I’m glad that goths are so entrepreneurial. There are many more lovely sniffs to be had here, from a perfume of the Deep Ones, to eau d’Herbert West. All are 5 ml for $15.
