Announcement    Attention: Please note that (for the next few weeks at least) your order will likely ship on the further end of the shipping window you're provided upon placing an order. I'm still in recovery from a broken back and pelvis and my husband (who also works over full time) is helping me get orders out on time. Nothing has gone out late due to their help, but we do ask for patience, kindness, and understanding during this time. 🙂 If you need an order on the quicker end of that window, please let me know and we'll do our best to oblige.

Are you a fan of gunslingers, space explorers, superheroes, zombies, supernatural hunters, and horror? We've got the perfect fragrances for you! Established 11 May 2013, we have over 500 handmade fragrances for all genders in 100% jojoba carrier oil designed to help you put on the mantle of your favorite hero, be transported into their arms, or act as your passport to a specific moment in time and place.

Take a look around and choose which story you want to drop into, whether it's the back seat of a big black car roaring down the road as two brothers listen to classic rock, a crumbling Southern plantation in the grips of the zombie apocalypse, a city at the bottom of the sea, cloudy skyscrapers over which vigilantes fly, or many more.

Welcome to Cherry-ka's Trunk. There are other worlds than these. 🌹

Personal requests:
We ask that you don't gender our fragrances. Fragrances take on the gender of their wearer at that moment in time (and there are far more than two genders), and therefore are themselves gender neutral. It would also make us feel safer if they didn't get a gender assigned to them.

We ask that you note if you aren't already aware that "gypsy" is a racial and ethnic slur used against the Romani people. "gyp" and "gypped" comes from this word and are also slurs. The word for us in English is Romani, and only Romani sellers have a right to use it and profit from the racist stereotypes associated with it here on Etsy, as it is still used to this day to discriminate against us, kick us out of countries, bulldoze our homes, and traffic us to this very day.

Thank you so much for the consideration, this helps make the world a safer place for trans and Romani consumers and creators! :)

Frequently asked questions

Is this note/fragrance feminine/masculine/unisex?

All notes and fragrances are gender neutral. Firstly, there are more than two genders. Secondly, it's impossible for a fragrance to have a gender, or to work better with a specific gender. All fragrances can be worn by all people; it's simply a matter of what scents they prefer. I ask as a non-binary Two-Spirit system that no one describe any of my fragrances in a gendered way, and thank them for their respect. :)

Will you make a fragrance inspired by (X)?

After 10 years I have retired the Sponsored and Bespoke Fragrance service. I'm always accepting fragrance ideas, and I'm always willing to help folks make their own fragrances.

Will you change the shipping address on an order? (and) Will you combine shipping?

Yes-- If we cancel the existing order and reorder what you'd like with the correct address. Please please review my shop and your address carefully before purchasing, and feel free to reach out if you're curious about a scent's inspirations or other ideas for a scent that you may like, and finalize your cart before your order is placed. To qualify for Etsy's Purchase Protection Program, your order MUST be shipped to the address you provide within the order, not to an alternate address we correct via discussion. I wish I were making this up as I loathe to inconvenience my customers, but here it is in the Handbook for reference: https://www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/1085799204521

Will you restock (X fragrance)?

I'm a professional perfume house, and I like to pay my bills. I've been in business since 2013 and some of my fragrances have been in the shop for this entire time, having been restocked hundreds of times thus far. I would be out of work if I didn't restock every fragrance I sold out of. Yes, I will continue to remake and sell (X) fragrance(s) once they run out.

Do you offer refunds if my package was lost in the mail?

Etsy's Purchase Protection will provide a refund for packages lost in transit, however to qualify, your order must be shipped to the address provided to Etsy. If you need me to change an address after you place your order, we will need to cancel your original order to purchase a new one with the correct address. I do hate to inconvenience my customers in this fashion, but this will ensure that your order is protected. Please see this Etsy article for reference and full Etsy Purchase Protection eligibility requirements: https://www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/1085799204521

When will my order ship out?

Etsy includes a real time tracking estimate in the body of every single listing, under Shipping and Return policies. If you hover over "Order placed", you'll get more information. Please check this information before placing an order.

Do you use water/alcohol/coconut oil/sweet almond oil/other non-jojoba oil as a carrier?

No. My fragrances use 100% pure jojoba oil as their carrier, in a parfum strength concentration, which is the strongest, safest concentration I can provide. Jojoba is the best carrier oil you can find. That is part of why these are priced as they are. 🤠

Why are your fragrances priced as they are?

My experience, the price of materials and shipping, Etsy fees, and the quality of materials I use, including making my own fragrance ingredients that can be found nowhere else. I try to keep my costs as low as possible to bring luxury goods to as many folks as I can, but this is my primary job, and I am obliged under capitalism to price my fragrances in a way that serves not to be an expensive hobby, but a profitable business that feeds my family and helps us to help others along the road. I am always happy to provide resources and education about the materials I use to share perfumery with all who are interested in it.

What are your credentials as a perfumer?

I've been a professional perfumer since 11 May 2013, and I've been working with and creating fragrances my entire life. I've been a witch my whole life (and a studying drabarni since 2016), and I am majoring in herbalism, which I hope to achieve a masters' degree in. I have been a professional wilderness survival guide focused on wildcrafting since early March 2013. I offer classes and consultation on desert survival (focusing on the flora of the Mojave and Sonoran) and perfume creation, and have done since 2016. I've worked in the outdoors with plants my entire life. I've also got scent-color synesthesia, which I hope lends an even more uncommon and magical element to my work. 🤠

Are your fragrances available in roller ball or spray bottles?

They are available in dabber bottles (sample sizes) and roller ball bottles (larger sizes). They are held in an oil carrier, not a water or alcohol carrier, so cannot be sprayed without clogging the spray bottle's works. This is safer for pets, other people, etc. as many natural ingredients can harm pets if ingested by licking their fur or people if accidentally sprayed onto their skin via airborne fragrance. Furthermore, as a Desi Old West historical reenactor, I strive for historical precedent and cultural ties in my packaging and products. Oil-based fragrances applied directly to the skin is a grand cultural and historical tradition that I am proud to continue.
