Featured product
ROUSE SIMMONS: bayberry, fir needle, glistening snow, myrrh
Each year, as December dawned, Chicago’s families gathered at the city’s port to welcome the Christmas Tree Ship, the schooner filled with fir and cedar trees for the holidays. Until one winter the Rouse Simmons was lost off the shore of Wisconsin en route to the Windy City. Even now, each year, the phantom form of the Christmas Tree Ship sails the December horizon of Chicago, and the haunting scent of pine needles still wafts from the port into the city streets. Relive the majestic voyages of the Rouse Simmons with this festive blend of bayberry, fir needle, glistening snow and myrrh.
Oversized 100 ml (3.4 oz) heirloom flint glass bottle. Enjoy this seasonal ritual year after year after year!
Also available in stocking-stuffer size as a 10 ml travel rollerball.

ABOUT OUR PERFUMER
Ursula Bielski founded Ghost Ship Fragrance after a 33-year career in parapsychology, history and folklore. She is the founder of Chicago Hauntings, Inc. and the host of PBS’ “The Hauntings of Chicago” (WYCC). Ursula has been writing and lecturing about America's supernatural folklore and the paranormal for three decades and is recognized as a leading authority on the Chicago region’s ghostlore and cemetery history. She is the author of twelve popular and critically acclaimed books on the same subjects including the Chicago Haunts series and Graveyards of Chicago. Ursula began making perfumes for herself and her family and friends after years of bringing home leaves, flowers and rocks from the many haunted places she visited around the world during her work as a paranormal researcher. Longing to capture and share the "haunting" experience of these unique sites, she began experimenting with the idea of recreating them in olfactory form to share with other legend trippers.
