Bayou Bride Perfume, Gothic Hauntlands Collection, Bayou Gothic

In the drowned hush of Louisiana’s forgotten swamps, they speak of brides who never made it to the altar...women veiled in sorrow, swallowed by fog, and bound to the bayou by love that curdled into legend.Some whisper of the Bride of Bayou Sale Road, seen drifting along the water’s edge in a gown stained with river silt. Her presence is marked by the scent of orchid and smoke, and the sudden chill of phantom mist curling through cypress knees. Others recall the Ghost of Manchac Swamp, a woman said to have cursed her wedding day with a song that summoned a hurricane. She vanished beneath the floodwaters, leaving behind only the perfume of moss and mourning.These brides do not rest. They linger in the rot and bloom of the wetlands, trailing vanilla and decay, their footsteps muffled by mud and memory. Spanish moss hangs like tattered lace from the trees, and the air grows thick with longing, ripe with the scent of wood softened by time, of orchids blooming where no light reaches.Bayou Br
