    HR1

    A beautiful herbaceous lavender that dries down to a mild clary sage. Like someone else said this belongs in the Somnium line.

    Gossip, Slang, and Cuss-Words

    Like the previous poster, I love this and I don't love TKO. This is much gentler but it's still a beautiful marshmallow vanilla lavender. I love this lavender 💜

    Vampire Milk

    This was a surprise holy grail scent for me. This is the goat's milk I wanted but didn't get from Ghost Milk. I love love love goat's milk and this one dries down amazingly with the clove adding a little smoky depth. The goat's milk reminds me a little of my beloved long gone Nonae Caprotina. I've already burned through a quarter of my bottle, so I stocked up because I can't be without this. Major love.

    Pumpkin Incense

    I love this pumpkin, it's home-y and warm. It doesn't veer into pie territory but does has some caramel-y notes. It's more approachable than some of my other atmos. I'm contemplating a backup, it's just so cozy.

    The Harvest Haunt

    This is like a Goth Jack. In the bottle and straight up on the skin it's that buttery pumpkin note but with something deeper lurking beneath. The drydown has hints of pumpkin and lots of dark incense which isn't caramel-y. This never smells like pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice. It has a touch of popcorn. A spooky and quirky carnival pumpkin that ends up being mostly dark incense.

    Pumpkin Buttercream

    To my nose there's no smoke or spice in this. It's simple, pure, uncooked pumpkin flesh and sweet, warm buttercream. There's nothing discordant or sharp about it, it's very soft and comforting.

    Hojōjutsu

    Out of all the Lupers, the simplicity and elegance of this blend called to me. Wet, I can smell the currant. Dry, the white tea note is the most prominent. I can't pick out the almond blossom or rice milk, they are in the background and make the scent milky in a way that's similar to White Rabbit. All in all a lovely spring scent.

    Mother Ghost

    I was wearing this last night. I think others have adequately described the intricacies of the notes..to me it evokes a high, cold, and soft old love. There's something antique and sad about it. I'm quite pleased but it does have a specific vibe and isn't something I would reach for every day.

    Sir Thomas Sharpe

    edit: I've figured out what this reminds me of. Its similar to this Old Spice cologne my Dad used to wear. It's got similar salty notes, I think Thomas is a bit sweeter and warmer and lacks the alcohol-edge, but it makes me reminisce..

    Black Moths

    Black Moths must make me admit that I haven't found a plum/vetiver combo that I enjoy on my skin (also, tobacco). I had a Our Lady Of Pain atmo at once point and this also calls to make mind the Tumultuous Virtues of Stern Passion. The plum/vetiver/tobacco combo just kind of sits on top of my skin, alas.

    Edith Cushing

    I can only echo the others mention of Warm Brown Sugar, which I happened to be obsessed with at one point. I love Edith and would describe her as sweet, buttery, and positively angelic. I woukd love to stock up on this scent, however due to the price point and the fact that its very very light and my skin gobbles it up.

    Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller (2015)

    I think I had a bottle of the previous Mme. at one point but it has been so long I really don't remember how it smelled. This new version however is amazing. Smooth and beautiful red musk, fruits, vanilla, and patchouli - womanly and warm. The funny thing is, I think this would pair beautiful with Dorian - I *need* to get a bottle or some hair gloss, I think it would be an amazing combo.

    The Tumultuous Vultures of Stern Passion

    Based on the notes, I thought I'd be in love with this - I'm a huge lily fan (Tiger Lily, The Lilies and Languors of Virtue) - and the rest of the notes seem wonderful, but the vetiver tar adds a shrill, sharp hard edge to this one. I agree with zankuku_zen that there's something "slightly agitated" about this. After drydrown the vetiver seems to blend into the scent better, the white musk has become more prominent with age and I can smell the lily better as well. Unfortunately it is not enough to supply my lily fix. I would love this scent if the vetiver note disappeared completely.

    Sugary or creamy delicate floral scents

    You might like Pele, I find it to be a soft creamy white floral smell that isn't harsh in the least. The sad thing is that it is a bit faint, but I loved it when I had it and would always slather. At least it's GC so it won't break the bank

    Startled Toad

    I wanted this to have a similar feel to Pouring Strains of Sacred Song, in terms of the coconut and resins. But they actually aren't that similar. Startled Toad, wet in the bottle, the patchouli dominates. On my skin, the amber and patchouli come to the forefront, with the lemongrass and carnation after. To be honest it actually reminds me of Bow and Crown of Conquest. There's something about the carnation, vanilla, and maybe amber combo that reads almost like leather to me. I suspect this will age gloriously, it's already good, and just been out of the mailbox for a day. The carnation was the iffiest note to begin with, and creamy carnation isn't really my thing.
