Arcana Wildcraft: Queen Crossbones


Queen Crossbones by Arcana Wildcraft- Notes: The adventurous scents of a pirate queen's far-flung travels: creamy Egyptian musk, wild honey, sweet coconut and exotic resins. Because a bad attitude and a stolen galleon will get you everywhere! $19


In the vial, the aroma of boozy honey and a dash of coconut rum enriched with resin splash up. Wet on the skin the coconut sprays like a fine mist from the ocean and blends with a musky fog that rolls in from the coastline. A woodsy honey filters through the fog and mist. As the pirate queen cuts through the troughs and crests of waves and dries on the flesh, that resinous honeyed rum pulls aboard. Maybe it was the shot of fortification she knocked back down in the galley once she felt the barometric pressure drop and smelled the ozone from the oncoming hurricane on the horizon.


I am quite enamored of this pirate queen. She has the type of notes that will only get better with age.

Do you enjoy honey based fragrances? Tried any new fragrances lately?

  1. So what your'e saying is Queen Crossbones is a honey of a pirate. I'll be swaggered if I can think of any of my fragrances that have honey in them. Probably been too long at sea. Although I did buy a jar of Honeymania (body Shop) body butter the other day.

    1. Aye, that she be. She scuttlebutted right into my heart. Honey has been my note of choice and I was bound to buy this one schooner or later. Your Hobeymania sounds like just the booty I need to plunder. Do you like it? Arg.

    3. I like it quite well. Even better, I sank a ship called the S.S. TJ Maxx, and found it there for $6.99.Too bad they have apparently discontinued the line....

    1. Yes! I need that one soon. I need to see if Angela did that one in an EDP yet. I bet it would be amazing.
