Spiced cardamom cake with orange zest and candied red currants, caramel cream, dragon’s blood resin, and flecks of vanilla bean.

On one dreary spring day on the eve of April Fools, two young girls inadvertently started one of the greatest movements of the 19th century. The unlikely founders were frightened when they heard rapping on their bedroom wall at night, and reported the phenomenon to their mother. Maggie, Kate, their mother Margaret, and a neighbor organized a séance to contact the spirit in their house. Three, five, and then thirty-three raps on the table communicated the spirit’s past and surprising knowledge of people in the room. 

In fear of the spirit that seemed drawn to her daughters, Margaret sent Maggie and Kate to live with their eldest sister in Rochester. Rumors of the Fox sisters’ ability quickly spread through the city. Rochester was unique in that it had been the site of a number of spiritual movements, and the city was primed to accept the sensational story of the two girls and the spirits they could speak to. Hundreds of people were soon gathering in halls across New York to hear the mysterious rapping and view the glimpse of life after death the Fox sisters promised. The sisters were charming and believable in their youth, and countless people tried but failed to debunk their act. 

They toured for decades and fanned the flames of Spiritualism in every corner of America that they visited. 

Forty years after they had first heard the spirit in their small farmhouse, converted Catholic Maggie Fox recanted their experiences and performances as a fraud, keeping a promise to her late husband to abandon Spiritualism forever. She stated that she and her sister had first attached an apple to their toes on a string below the floorboard, and later cracked and popped their joints to create the rapping of the spirits.

Maggie took back her confession only a year later, but the damage was done. The improbable pair that had started the entire Spiritualism movement were forever discredited, and the movement faded with their legacy.

Cozy spicy cake-y goodness

Wow - absolutely delicious spiced orangey cake with almost an earthy metallic undertone. I can see myself reaching for this in the fall and winter.

i really like this one, the spice is perfect for fall seasons- unfortunately, i got this in the summer, so i will wait to use it. i hoped if i blended this with another scent, it wouldve been like cinnamon rolls…i was wrong, but as someone who usually goes for fruity smells, this is nice.

This is a sweet caramel spiced cake dream with perfect candied orange peels spiraled on top. This is SO DELICIOUS and makes me want to eat my own arm lol It is the most edible gourmand fragrance ive ever tried. I got the atomizer sample and I'm able to wear it to work, not sure it would be appropriate if I got the oil because those are much stronger and project more. I do really want the rollerball of this though, its the coziest yummiest smell and I have worn this all day long and even reapplied going to bed, however it might make you hungry at night haha. Worth the hype and a cake lovers dream in a bottle.

My family loves spice cake -- we used to have it for almost everyone's birthday! It's one of those things that's changed for no reason, and we wonder why sometimes. We go back to having spice cake, and we wonder even more. This being said, I haven't had spice cake in years.
With this scent, I sort of don't need to? It's so spot on for me that I don't need to eat the cake. I can enjoy it by smelling it! It's not too sweet, it's definitely balanced, but it's just like the spice cakes that my mom made -- spicier, less sugary! This is an extra fancy spice cake though, so it has a gorgeous, light, whipped caramel frosting. The orange zest and red currants are there, but not overpowering. They are baked into the cake! Lastly, the dragon's blood keeps the scent grounded, to prevent it from being a sugar rush. This is a lovely perfume, and I would especially recommend it to folks who are interested in spicy gourmands, but are hesitant about them!
