About Obscūrus
obscure
c. 1400, “dark,” figuratively “morally unenlightened; gloomy,” from Old French obscur, oscur “dark, clouded, gloomy; dim, not clear” (12c.) and directly from Latin obscūrus “dark, dusky, shady,” figuratively “unknown; unintelligible; hard to discern; from insignificant ancestors”.
obscūrus explores my interest in medieval history, ancient civilisations, unexplained phenomena on and off planet, the history of the stars, theology, alchemy, occultism, and fine art. Interlinked with my blooming experiments with fragrance; and colour play beyond the limitations I’ve had in cosmetic manufacturing. After two years of research and formulation specifically into bath and body products, I am taking my time introducing new items so that I can ensure they are perfect for me, and you.

I found the formula very difficult to work with (even after mixing a bit of the masque with water on my hands) and unfortunately I got even drier skin than before after washing it off. Using it as cleanser makes the skin soft but very dry (to the point where it feels utterly tense) which is disappointing since it’s the one for dry skin.
The smell is very difficult in my opinion. It has a very earthy smell which mixes with the peppermint oil. I wish I would have noticed the mint before because I hate mint a lot (no matter if it’s tea, used as herb in food, the smell itself). So far I’m holding my breath while using the masque as cleanser to avoid gagging. :(
