The Goth Rosary: Extraordinary Scents for the Unordinary

Custom made rosaries & fragrances by AntiSally

Many years ago I was introduced to the alluring, exalted scents of the Goth Rosary. If you have not yet met the temptress of rapturous aromas, AntiSally, then let me tell you, I am a professed addict.

A day does not go by where I don't need a hit of seductive body spray, to inhale the sweet and savory incense, to go on a fantastical journey with the bath products and to be intoxicated by the perfumes. I think it's enough but I'm always left craving more. Luckily, there are now more products to choose from so I can continue to chase the dragon.   

Since 1998, AntiSally, Goth Rosary's owner and perfumer, has been aromatizing uncommon people with the succulent smells of dark chocolate, funeral flowers, graveyards, supple leather, campfire smoke, enchanting woods, autumn spices, dark streets and Halloween.  Many of her intoxicating and bewitching fragrances have enticing names such as Wicked, Dervish, Mayhem, Heathen, Samhain, Nocturnal and Gothic Rose. They come in many different forms such as body mists, roll on perfumes and solid fragrances to meet with anyone's personal preference and to fit any purse. 

I like different, different is good. It's easy to make something similar to what's out there but the real challenge is to design a product that is not only different but also one that works and is appreciated. Clinique came out with "Happy" and I decided that the world needed something other than "Happy."

For many years her marvelous, gentle hair wash has been a staple in my home. It is very versatile and can also be used as a body wash or added as an extra fragrance to create a welcoming bath. When I travel it ventures with me so I never have to worry about my hair or bad reactions to hotel soap on my sensitive, porcelain skin. It finally has two miraculous companions to accompany it, conditioner and hot oil treatments. The conditioner not only brings out natural shine but is a great frizz diffuser when applied to the tips of the hair. The hot oil treatments are an intense conditioner made from a blend of 6 vegetable oils designed specifically to cultivate and nourish. 

The products that I've just started to use are the body and face scrub. The body scrub is made from natural sea salts and adds minerals to your skin which leaves your skin feeling like satin. The face scrub is made with cane sugar and reconditions the skin which is very exhilarating to use after a long day. It leaves your face feeling rejuvenated and beautiful. The scrubs are both an exquisite way to pamper yourself and much more affordable and far superior to a spa treatment. 

Your relaxation can continue outside of the bathroom with her new line of triple dipped incenses and sensational massage oils. The incense is a brilliant idea because now I can burn a stick of incense and fill my home with different exotic aromas or take it to a friend who has yet to discover mystifying scents. The massage oils are a 2 in 1 product that is a valuable aid to relieve the tension of someone you care about or perhaps someone you just met. This will also infuse their skin with a magnificent, wanton fragrance which is an added bonus. It can also masquerade as a bath oil to moisturize the skin. Honestly, I'm too busy using it for massage to waste in the bath but I'm sure someone must use it for that as well.     

Another great new creation is her 24 hour deodorant. The product comes in a pump spray bottle and it is a liquid form of crystal rocks. It doesn't contain cancer causing chemicals or clog your pores as most deodorants that are on the market. It kills the bacteria causing odor not only under the arms but on the feet as well. It works fantastic and doesn't leave any residue on clothing whatsoever which is an absolute godsend. It also comes in Goth Rosary's unique scents so finally I can wear a deodorant that isn't competing with my perfume.    

It is such a wonderful benefit to be able to order the same scent for deodorant, hair products, face and body lotions and perfumes. Usually when we prepare to go out into the world we are a walking contradiction of odors as each products we use all have different fragrances. They no longer smell pleasing as they are too busy being overwhelmed by one another. It is a dream realized to be able to consistently emanate the aroma you desire.

The Goth Rosary also offers custom made exquisite rosaries. There is a vast selection of rosary beads to choose from in a rainbow of colors. They can be made in chokers and bracelets as well. For traditionalists there are beads made with rose and jasmine petals, sandalwood and mint leafs. For more diverse tastes there are many choices of talismans from Celtic crosses, gargoyles, ankhs, bats, spiders and skulls. AntiSally's integrity is steadfast as she offers free lifetime repairs with all of her beaded creations. 

AntiSally always gives a hug and a warm, friendly environment to shop that treats you like a cherished member of the family. She is always welcoming suggestions and keeping her approach to customers personable and authentic. She is environmentally conscious and all her products are made with vegan ingredients and their containers are all biodegradable and recyclable. New products to look forward to experiencing are scented bath bombs, bar soaps, tea lights and their new line of disgusting smells.

Since day one I had people ask me to make scents that smelled like rotting flesh, blood and vomit. I have given in. I now have a selection of remarkably offensive scents for them to use. As a perfume house, I'm brave enough to try what others won't.
