    Mr. Ibis

    Papyrus, vanilla flower, Egyptian musk, African musk, aloe ferox, white sandalwood. Mr. Ibis is so exactly like its character that its uncanny. There is a softness there, a delicacy, a subtly that I don't always find in perfumes. I was not quite sure about it, it was so reserved, so dignified, but I am finding myself turning to this trusty bottle on tough days or intense heat. Its cooling, calming, gentle. I didn't think I liked it, on first try, but it turns out I am a fan after all.

    Womb Furie

    I can't quite make up my mind about Womb Fury. It is certainly the Snake Oil and honey combo that is advertised (and, as many have said, its Snake Oil and O), but its not as sexy as I think it should be. Instead I find it almost snuggly, an autumn hibernation scent. I think I like it? I'm not all the way to loving it, but I like it.

    Die Begierde

    I love rose scents. And I love carnation! So this was an instant purchase, back when this round of Lupers landed. Others have noted that its almost more like rose water than of proper rose, and the carnation only adds a delicate spiciness, not a full blown spice. Generally I like it. I'm not tipped all the way into love, but I like it!

    Stale Sugar-Crusted Marshmallow Chick

    I am one of the team who adores Peeps. The world seems divided into Peeps Lovers and Peeps Haters, so when this oil came out, as a lover, I had to have it. Stale marshmallows! There is that hint of plastic that comes when marshmallows turn stale, and I'm just chuffed with it. I was hoping for a fresher marshmallow scent, but I can't fault it- it tells me right up front that its stale. I can even smell the yellow sugar crystals. Ha! Long live Marshmallow chicks, in oil form, and in the real world.

    My Baby and a Baby Goat

    I have an oversized grey cashmere sweater. I wear this article when its cold out, on rainy days, on very lazy weekends, and when I feel blue. Its not the most elegant item I own, but its just so right. This perfume is what I reach for every time I want to put on that grey cashmere sweater. They go together like nothing else. This is a rich, milky cream with a touch of honey and musk. Its a cozy scent, and perfect on a stormy, cold day.

    Jacob's Ladder

    I remember distinctly, when I was small, getting a box of odds and ends from my grandmother. One thing in there was a tiny bottle of old perfume, which smelled exactly like this. This is a rich, heavy, and old fashioned amber. It not my usual wear, as I find this a little cloying and a little overpowering. But there is something so nostalgic, so old fashioned and, well, perfumy, that I can't just write this one off. A memory in a bottle.

    Elizabeth of Bohemia

    I'm a serious fan of rose perfumes. I love them in just about any combination. And this is, as everyone has said, a perfect rose ouhd. This is lush, rich, and voluptuous. A very nice blend indeed. The ouhd gives this strong rose a sweetness, which helps to ground it a little.

    Parlement of Foules

    I love this. Its a quiet rose, a delicate white, maybe tipped with pink, and rounded out by very soft resins. I find this combination to be lovely and delicate, a perfect spring rose perfume.

    The First Rose

    This is a pink rose. It could almost be a single note. Its a spring rose, light and pretty, with no heavier note to tie it down. It floats, but its not the most complicated rose scent that I've ever smelled from the Lab.

    Eat Me

    Ahh, a white, fluffy perfume. I most certainly get the vanilla and the white cakes, which form a light and playful sugar confection. I can't say I get the currant at all, but I do get a lot of sugary, cakey goodness. I must say I am a fan!

    Between Your Heart And Mine

    Heartwood bois de rose and vanilla-touched rose. Roses! Ahh, roses. I love rose perfumes, so this was a bottle I was eager to try. Its mostly rose, with the tiniest hint of cream and a solid base of rosewood to it. Those additions add a roundness to the scent, and ground it, so it never turns frivolous, as some rose perfumes can. Its a great rose for a cold day, and I intend to wear it often.

    Champagne Lace

    As I write this note it is New Years Eve, and what better way to celebrate than some champagne? In the vial, and in its first application there is a burst of sparkily champagne. This is that note that is so damn realistic that I can smell the bubbles. As I love sparkling wines, this makes my day. That hint of sparkle never really goes away, but its quickly joined by a delicate vanilla base, and a hint of something smokey (the opium?) that grounds everything. I've long heard tell of the Laces, and this one has made me a believer. I'll keep an eye out for further lace developments!

    Little Lady Macbeth

    Mmmm, but this smells delicious. Its the densest honey cake you ever have smelled, studded with sweet currents. The scent is never heavy, but it has a presence that is a solid as a scone, and every bit as tasty. Just perfect for an autumn day or a cold weather night.

    Stekkjarstaur

    Wooly sugared marshmallow root. It turns out that I love marshmallow scents, so I'm so glad I picked up a bottle of this. This is a dense, rich sugar and marshmallow cloud. Like those fancy marshmallows you can get at specialized grocery stores. I can smell the powdery outside, and the slightly dense and chewy inside. Creamy, dreamy, amazing.

    A Little More Tea

    This is very creamy and buttery. More crumbly cookie than it is tea, though there is a faint hint of something citrus on me. It faded down a sugar cookie in milk scent. I think its very pleasant, but its a little light, and I was hoping for more tea out of this blend.
