We are excited to present our new design. The bottle is finished with a transparent spray tube for a cleaner visual experience—after the first use, the air bubble will disappear, and the tube will become nearly invisible. Just like magic…✨👀

@bydarktales is the perfect house for that dark, unconventional, and spooky vibe. 🖤🕯️ Most of their fragrances are raw, unapologetic, and beautifully moody.

I’ve curated a selection of fragrances from the house that perfectly match my Halloween vibe. 🎃🩸now this is not a full review but more like the exact vibe each of them gives.

Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried any fragrances from Dark Tales or if there are any you’re interested in trying! 👀🖤 by @bydarktales

Unboxing something I’ve had my eye on for a while… 🖤

Today we’re finally opening a fragrance from @bydarktales , and the one I picked is Macabre. The name alone had me curious, and I can’t wait to properly wear it and see what this one is all about.

First impressions and a full review will follow once I’ve spent some time with it. For now, let’s enjoy the unboxing. 🕯️ by @bydarktales

We are truly honoured to be participating in Premio Aromata 2026 @aromata2024, an international competition and exhibition celebrating artistic and independent perfumery, taking place October 8–10 in the beautiful city of Rome, Italy! 🇮🇹✨

This year’s theme, “Perfume: An Expressive Code. The Invisible Between the Lines,” explores the extraordinary connection between literature and scent. It invites perfumers to translate the written word into an olfactory language, capturing emotions, atmospheres, memories, and stories that exist beyond the pages of a book.

We are especially excited that our fragrance NSFRTÅ, inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, is representing Dark Tales in this year’s competition. Drawing inspiration from one of the most iconic works of Gothic literature, NSFRTÅ brings the haunting atmosphere, mystery, and dark romanticism of Stoker’s world into the language of scent. We could hardly imagine a more fitting fragrance to represent us under this year’s literary theme.

As storytelling has always been at the very heart of Dark Tales, this theme feels particularly close to us. We have always believed that perfume can tell stories just as powerfully as words, sometimes expressing what words themselves cannot.

It is wonderfu to be part of an event that celebrates fragrance not merely as something beautiful to wear, but as an art form, a means of expression, and a language of its own. 🖤

Today, I spent the day digging through the Dark Tales archives, trying to figure out just how many perfumes we’ve actually launched since 2019. And what a fun little trip down memory lane it’s been! Some of them I’d almost forgotten existed. 👵🏻

And mind you, this doesn’t even include all our little side adventures, like exclusive perfumes hidden inside mystery boxes or other special projects. Every single one on this list was a standalone fragrance launch!

Now I’m curious… how many of them have you tried? Does anyone still have any of our really old creations tucked away somewhere? Which one has been your absolute favourite? ⏳

And perhaps an even more interesting question… is there anything you’d love to see us bring back from the dead? 🕯️

If you fancy a little journey through our history, I’ve also added the complete perfume archive to our website, with detailed descriptions of every fragrance we’ve ever released.

You can find it under “About & FAQ” → “Perfume Archives”.

Happy time travelling! 🖤
