    October Atmosphere Spray

    I also get a cologney aspect from the perfume oil but this is exactly how I wanted October to smell with the crisp dead leaves standing out almost as a single note. I have a decant and will be buying a bottle of this.

    Bourbon Vanilla Bath Oil

    Mine is very faint too though not quite as much as yours sounds. The previous release wasn't very strong but was stronger than this and I bought two bottles based on that. Ah well, it's still very nice when I sniff deeply but I probably shouldn't have got two bottles.

    A Measurement of the Soul

    I adore this, even considering a back-up bottle which I *never* do. I'm pretty useless at reviews but for me the fig is most prominent then the cedar. It's a beautiful companion to the Fig & White Sandalwood hair gloss, which I've been dying for a perfume to match for years and now I have one

    Lovers with Tortoiseshell Harigata Atmosphere Spray

    I'm never entirely sure about patchouli but I'm glad I read the reviews and went for a bottle of this - it's gorgeous. Dark and sexy, a bit earthy, just beautiful.

    Mahogany Hall Atmosphere Spray

    Polished mahogany and teakwood and swirls of cigar smoke, with deep patchouli, tonka, cardamom, Spanish moss, and bourbon vanilla. I love this, it's wonderful deep, slightly sweet dark woods. I really like to spray it in my office but it works in any room. I bought a big bottle almost immediately after trying the goblin squirt. My husband loves it too and he usually doesn't have any particular opinion on my scent-related hobby I've also had comments from visitors to the house about "that lovely smell, sort of woody, what *is* it?!".

    Scents for doula work and birthing

    Honestly? I would say absolutely nothing unless a room scent is requested. I can't think of anything worse than trying to give birth while having an allergy attack. Even without allergies sickness is not uncommon during labour and I think scent is very likely to make that worse.

    Sudsy She-Wolf Bath Oil

    This is beautiful, all warm, fuzzy and snuggly. It's very well-blended and I'm finding it hard to pick out specific notes. I will say though that it is not overly foody or coffee scented, which I was a bit worried about. It's gorgeous and I wish I'd gone for a full bottle rather than a decant.

    Black Taffeta

    This is amazing, it's all dusty dark musk and vanilla on me, I adore it. So glad I got a bottle unsniffed.

    Beachy, Tropical Scents

    My all time favourite tropical scents are Solstice Scents Tropical Moon and Arcana Latitude. Goldenrod Spider is my favourite BPAL tropical but it was an LE and might be harder to find.

    Pandemonium

    This is odd, I was expecting something warm but it's oddly cold on my skin. A cold, herbal scent, I can't make out any musk. Not for me.

    Spider Silk Bath Oil

    I agree with the people who've described this as "fresh", "clean" and "citrusy". It's very nice,a delicate scent, definitely suits the concept of spider silk. I don't need a big bottle but I'll enjoy using up my decant.

    Goldenrod Crab Spider

    I love this but I do love a good tropical scent. A definite bottle for me, though I'll probably save it and wear it in the summer.

    Witch Dance

    This is wonderful, why didn't I just order a bottle outright? I should have known it would work from the notes. Smoky, incensy red musk. It reminds me a bit of Halloween: Las Vegas without the cake, which is brilliant because I *almost* loved that blend but the cake was a tiny bit too much for me.

    Third Charm

    This smells a lot like Womb Furie on me too just with lots of red musk added. Unfortunately I don't like Womb Furie so I'll have to age this a bit and see if the honey starts to behave itself. I adore red musk btw, I just really don't like honey. EDIT: I think this bottle must have been super fresh when I received it because the honey has calmed down now and I'm getting lots of the lovely woods. Definite keeper, I'm glad I retested

    Butterfly Garden Atmosphere Spray

    I'm normally not a fan of florals but I love this, it's exactly like being in a butterfly house! I also agree that it's calming, I like to use this when I'm doing yoga or just generally want to feel calmer and more serene. It's wonderful.
