In Memoriam

Our beloved Cat Marx

August 29, 1965 - December 19, 2020

She was a source of light and love, and she appreciated each and every one of you.

************************************************************************************

As many of you already know, our beloved Cat Marx passed away peacefully on December 19, 2020. Having been her business partner and perfume collaborator for over ten years, I kept the shop going on our own site — www.deepmidnightperfumes.com.

For those who are not familiar with me, I was in daily communication with Cat as we developed and iterated the scents in our catalog. I have a few that were strictly mine — Faerie Knight, Forgotten Gold, Wildwood, Prairie Gothic, Vintage, Sangreal, Black Arrow, Marzipan Moon, the Walking Dead sets, most of the Feathers in the Moonlight set (3 and 7 are Cat's), and more recently the Eight Bouquets set, the Women of the Weird set, and Faerie Kitten. Cat of course has a few more to her name than me, but the vast majority of our scents were collaborations.

Rest assured, unless otherwise noted in the listings in the event that ingredients become unavailable, everything that has been previously published will remain the same. Nothing is changing, although new scents are forthcoming!

I am excited to return to Etsy and I hope you continue to find old and new favorites here!

— John

Greetings! My name is Cat, and I am the owner of Deep Midnight Perfumes™, an indie perfumery located in Minneapolis, MN. I am passionate about creating fascinating fragrances and I love sharing this grand obsession with my customers. I adore creating perfumes that are unique and deeply complex in character and others that are enchanting in their simplicity. When I describe my blends, I want each perfume I create to tell a scented story.... to create a dreamscape in your mind that will connect with your sense of smell and transport you to where you want to go. I am inspired by the fantasy genre, a variety of historical eras, people and characters—both real and imaginary, places of old, legends, lore, literature, romance, spiritual arts, and theater.

All perfumes are vegan, preservative free, alcohol free, and cruelty free. All of the ingredient sources also pledge to be vegan and cruelty free. The carrier base is beautiful scent free organic jojoba oil from plants grown in the USA. Jojoba oil is the gold standard of carrier oils, and will have an indefinite shelf life and is superior to other carrier oils. Both fragrance oils and essential oils of premium quality are used in the perfume oils.

We have sold on Etsy since 2010 with over 14,000 sales and a 5 star rating. We have over 300 unique perfumes in our shop. We have been consistently in the top 1-10% of Etsy sellers on Handmade Hunt over the years. You can buy with confidence knowing you are purchasing the highest quality hand made perfume oils.

We hope you enjoy the perfumes that are created with love for you.

Best to you always —Cat
