This faded on me after a minute or two, but what I got was some generic floral soap. So sad!
-
Ohhh, I was hoping I'd like this one. No cream to bring things down! Plum blossoms! Clean white musk! But all I got was cherry blossom-tinged generic soap, which was just boring. Scrubbed it off and put on Cluster of Cherry Blossoms instead.
-
Sweet without being sugary, and creamy/vanilla forward without being foody. The saffron has a note that smells like rubber or plastic for a few seconds, but ultimately calms down into something that grounds the entire scent and makes it gender neutral. It's not for me, but I'm glad I got to try it.

When I applied this, the lotus came in WITH A STEEL CHAIR, followed by the sugared cream. Pretty much a fluffy floral candy explosion on me. It calms down once dry, and is pretty, but not for me, although the wear length is better than Mangetsu. ::sobs:: Right now it's cherry blossom cream candy on my skin, which is...nice? But as someone who already has a bottle of Cluster of Cherry Blossoms, my gold standard for Shungas, I guess that's a warning about creamy/milky scents in general, even with exceptions (Dildo with Boxes of Lubricants and a Plum Blossom Twig had zero cream in my hair).

Dildo, Boxes with Lubricants, and a Plum Blossom Twig Hair Gloss
Miyabi replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Hair
I...don't think I'm getting any plum blossom from this, which is fine. What I do get is currently a fruity candy, so probably a combo of grapefruit, apricot, and honey. Absolutely fine that there's no amber cream, given how that note seems finicky on me. The throw seems to fluctuate--sometimes I can smell it, sometimes I can't. This is similar to the throw level of Pomegranate Slush, I think, so I may get a bottle, depending on how the second try with this goes. I will say the lower throw probably makes it more appropriate for when you're going out in public or at the office, at least. -
This scent is very green and leans a teeny bit masculine--I mostly get the green amber and white musk, which brings to mind a cool rainy spring day. Didn't get any oolong tea, grass, mandarin, or flowers, though, and I do wish it might have lasted longer (it's pretty much gone on me after about half a day), but it was nice while it lasted.

2026 version: Getting zero tea or boba out of this one. The wet-on-skin phase gives me CREAM, and once it dries down you can sense the rose petals floating on top. Definitely a gourmand, but not for me, as I'd hoped for tea to cut through the richness (much like it does with White Rabbit).
-
This reminds me of the orange blossom honey hand soap they had at Trader Joe's once upon a time. Pretty much a single orange blossom honey note. It's really lovely, although I have to think on whether I would need a bottle (still have more decants to try out!)

Beaver Moon: Lime Blossom & Amber Sugar

This went from "ah, maybe this has the tartness I was looking for in the Yuzu/Honey duet" to "overpowering cologne/bathroom cleaner" on my skin. Pass. -
Beaver Moon: Yuzu & Warm Honey Drizzle
Miyabi replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Wet, it almost smells like green apples and honey, no yuzu. Dry, the honey takes over completely. I was hoping for something like the Korea yuzu tea in jars, which is a perfect balance between the two, but oh well. -
Lightning Moon: Golden Amber and Plum Blossom
Miyabi replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
It's got plum blossom, but only for the first hour or two. Eventually it dries down to straight up golden amber, which is nice, but since I got the decant hoping for ALL THE PLUM BLOSSOM, I don't think a bottle's in my future. -
This is nice. It's what I was hoping for BPTP's Lemon Blossom HG. To me, it's a golden-ish green: lemony and green, but with a sweetness that keeps it from being overly sharp or reminiscent of cleaning products. The sweetness also is just right--it's not cloying at all. I think the only issue I have is that it might fade a bit quickly, but I'll just have to keep trying my decant again to make sure before investing in a full bottle.
-
Oof. Very heavy on the sandalwood. I usually don't mind it, but there's a dirty resiny quality to this one that's making me recoil, and I haven't even sprayed it on yet.
-
This is much more demure and mindful than the name suggests. I don't get the similarities to O in my sample (which is what I was hoping for)--it's definitely lighter, and maybe soapier, although it doesn't exactly smell like soap. I'm glad I got to try it, though.
-
This is very clean! But perfectly so--it's not outright soapy, nor is it too musky/cloying. It's just a pretty light scent that charmed me more than I thought. Not sure if I'll get a full bottle, but I'll use the imp again.
