Snaffled from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, who make wonderful vegan and lots of fandom-inspired perfumes.

One of the concepts of the Exiles books was that people from Celtic and Greek myths are based on actual people who have myths woven about them.
Marc is Lucifer, obvs, but also Zeus who has Athena (Elizabeth) as his favourite, sitting at his right hand. As pointed out though in 'Jack the Bodiless', Exiles!Marc also passes into ancient myth as Father / Grandfather Frost, with his daughter Cloud Remillard as Snegurochka, the Snow Maiden.
Well, now they exist as perfume...

DED MOROZ
Grandfather Frost! Accompanied by his granddaughter, Snegurochka, the Snow Maiden, he bestows gifts to virtuous and hard-working people, rewarding their decency and integrity, and punishes those who are lazy, shiftless, and unkind, killing their fields with frost, cracking the trunks of their trees, and destroying their homes.
The first incarnation of Father Frost was not at all benevolent. He was the personification of the darkest aspects of winter, winter's destruction incarnate. He kidnapped unruly children, and slew people capriciously by freezing them to death.
Light, darkness, kindness, and malice: golden amber, white amber, redwood, teak, bois du rose, sage, tree moss, and snow.
