This is a delicious smoky cloud of cacao, mascarpone and vanilla. The fig syrup showed up in the beginning but afterwards left the party. Very good... contemplating a bottle
-
Carnation petals, not overly potent, just the right amount. I can also detect a woody spicy backbone.

A surprising win for me. I get right away the praline and some hints of cacao. As soon it hits my skin, Caramel Vulva warms up and becomes so comforting and gives way to this subtle spicy peppery aura. The caramel part is never in your face, but i can tell that it's very well blended together with the praline milk and hazelnut. There must be an unlisted spice note in there, because i smell some kind of pepper ot something else.

An interesting apricot bergamot crossing. The apricot is dominated by the bergamot and never leans the sweet fruity way. After some time the apricot is merely a shadow, leaving way for a bright musky bergamot haze.
-
A citrus neroli with hint of bitter lemon peel. Neroli kind of hovers above and dominates everything.

This is not about the cacao or black tea. I kid you not. It's about the steam, but the steam of oolong tea and what's even more interesting is that upon further development this morphs into the scent of a body lotion/ face cream/ hand cream. I'm still can't get over this peculiar transition. I smell hand lotion/ body lotion on the spot where i applied the tiny dabs. I get the smell of light floral body beauty product. Some teas can give off a light floral profile and this is IT in body/ hand lotion / face cream format.

This is a woody spicy take on oud. On y skin i get no honey. The oud isn't indolic or poopy. BUT, the drydown reminds me a GREAT DEAL of Ponophobia from the Yule 2019 collection.

This goes into Lemon Scented Sticky Bat territory, but not as sweet. It's still fairly lemony sweet but with the black tea and cucumber cutting through and making it more light and airy.

This is a shimmery bubbly blackberry Patchouli witchy potion. It's not fruity sweet more like blackberry fragrant with a side of patchouli bewitching magic and everything else that makes so unique.
-
It's as if I'd put my nose in a bouquet of Bulgarian roses and take it all in and then catch a whiff of roasting coffee beans nearby. The roses dominate, they're very fragrant, not jammy sweet, you get the rose petals aroma swirling around you and mingled with the roasting coffee beans smoke.
-
The blackberry cream cheese is very reminiscent of last years Black Cherry Sufganiyot. The blackberry cream cheese has an artificial hardcandy vibe about it. I wish i got more pastry out of this to balance out the blackberry filling.
-
I got mainly apple blossom on my skin, like granny smith apple shampoo....and that's how it stayed all the time. Bummer
-
Roses and bit of cream, but mostly roses with a bit of powder. Not what i was expecting. Feels a bit Victorian.
-
The Licor 43 truly stands out and beats the crap out of all other notes, stomping on them. The lab's liquor note is a tricky one....here i think it's more on the gin side and pulling the entire blend into boozy territory. The espresso and condensed milk get washed away and I'm left with the lemon and cinnamon spiced/ garnished Licor 43.

This reminds me a lot of Nyx, the Night Goddess. It's those chewy caramelized fragrant sweet resins. I don't smell any coffee bean here, but a dose of resins and caramel.
