Phantasm

Marsten & Marwood is the curious collection of peculiar fragrances handmade by Barnaby Black. Formulated with natural aromatics, raw botanicals, and fine fragrance materials, each scent is a small study in place, memory, and atmosphere.

Phantasm is not merely worn—it haunts. A dark, enigmatic forest fragrance born of smoke, soil, and shadow, it asks you to wander deeper into the trees and lose the clean edge of the familiar.

The Scent

Wormwood and sacred black sage open the veil, bitter, green, and faintly hallucinatory. Davana and Mexican tuberose bring an intoxicating bloom, while birch tar, cedar ash, dark patchouli, labdanum, frankincense, and American juniper leaf summon the season in smoke and resin.
