    The Harvest Haunt

    A haunted fun ride at night! Boozy, buttery pumpkin, i am also getting something popcorny, (hay?, wood?), and i am getting that incense note, but it's more of a dusty hay note to me than incense.

    Mercury

    This is a veeery soft cinnamon on me... with what I'm guessing is dragon's blood and something green/herbal very far in the background?

    Croquet

    Ooh! Crisp, peppery pink! Well, pink and yellow. Dry, It's an almost candyish fuity scent, swirls of citrus and soft, creamy grapefruit. Very very low throw, but very pretty.

    Gossip, Slang, and Cuss-Words

    There's notes in here that, when wet, to me at least-clash; this resolves itself on application by directly morphing that to a more dusty coherency, while the other notes (I struggle to pick them apart here besides being able to pick out the lavender, mallow and vanilla bean, but these are also very well blended. And it IS similar to TKO to a certain degree - and I agree with the beforementioned 'marshmallow vanilla lavender', but it's grounded by something almost earthy, while not being overly sweet or overboard with anything, really.

    A New Leaf

    Soooo pretty. I agree with everything bygraveyardlight said. There's that fresh green note that I vaguely remember was in The ghastly garden. Squelchy, greenhousey goodness - several images come to mind. A cozy rainy day in a greenhouse, the nymphs bathing in pale water by a full moon, festive, lush greenery outside just as a party is getting started inside...

    Elizabeth’s Imps

    Scared me from the decant; thiccccc gloopy molasses! Quickly morphs into something much more friendly thank goodness - it's still thick and dark, but behaves itself. A soft cinnamon sparkles in the background of a warm thickened amber, almost as if backlit - complimented by a more spicy, earthy combo of the black molasses and cinnamon bark, that in my mind, smell/feel almost "furry", or like moss. Low throw, very comforting. Very pretty!

    Witches' Currant Cake

    This is super lovely, but reminds me a loooot on my skin of A little more tea. In the bottle it's a little more crumbly/molasses-y. But it's definately a soft, berries cake that leans a lot into tea-and-cookies-territory. It has a slight watery quality (or maybe it's just that that's what keeping the other notes from going out of line/amping too much). This is beautiful though!!

    Pumpkin Spice Hot Buttered Rum

    Almost annoyingly good. Spicy, buttery, strong rum goodness. It's not a strong boozy/alcohol scent like in blue fire for example, but it compliments the "creamyness" and spices perfectly. Definately what I had been waiting/hoping for. Mmmmm....

    Hard Luck Lollipop

    Oooo, from the bottle this reminds me a lot of Sky city (before), because of the ozone/crisp air-and-grit quality of this. There's a gorgeous pink and blue lollipop here, more "realistic", not as minty and fluffy purply as the one from last year (or, maybe not as "christmassy" is the word i'm looking for here)? The ozone takes a step backwards on drydown, and the grit starts blending more into the mix, while the actual lollipop gets a bit stronger. It's a bit cotton candy ish and goes slightly more purple and fruity (but absolutely still a realistic candy scent). Aaaannd that's where that candy incense for me comes out too! This is surprisingly pretty and fun. Not a great throw on me (oh how I wish) but it's delightful!

    Pumpkin Trash Bag

    I really do like this - but i am mostly getting the dead leaves note. It does have a sweet orange undertone; floral and candy; accompanied by vegetal moist greens, wet most noteably so - but it just goes to mostly dead leaves. A less strong version with ~ something slightly different ~ I barely get pumpkin. It is very nice, but i was hoping for more of a twist/the other notes to be more at play, giving it a more halloweeny feel than more autumn. Too bad. (But my skin does tend to amp the dead leaves note).

    The Poinsettia Gown

    2023 Version. This is sooooo pretty. First thing it kinda reminds me of is Lady Lucille Sharpe, in the way that it's kinda white florally-light with a soft sweet tone in there. The jasmine is suuuuper soft, almost fuzzy. It morphs quickly, but not too harshly. More of a warm rose note coming through, and it warms up to a more reddish scent, with fluffy cream as a center. On drydown it's doing what few jasmine scents have been doing on my skin; turning into cat pee!! Ughhhh. This has sooo much potential and the 'old christmas postcard' makes so much sense now. So pretty though!! Sophisticated, ladylike.

    Persephone

    Oh so nice! Now, i am super stuffy and earlier i said another scent also reminded me of raspberry - i'm getting raspberry again amongst a strong pomegranate (and as it is drying up, the rose it blossoming and coming in strong) but that may just be the cold picking up anything slightly red-leaning as that. That said, the rose in this is SO strong it's starting to give me a bit of a headache, but this is different from anything i've smelled before. Super sensual and sweet, nice for christmas!

    Rabbit Moon 2021

    Ok, so, first things first, I still think about my adorable bunny that died like. 5yrs ago a lot, he was such a sweet boy, and this does vaguely smell of him - or at least, it gets that weirdly 'soapy' thing right, on first sniff. I'd describe his scent as musk, fur, hay, lavender and something eeever so slightly earhy and soapy (he smelled surprisingly nice for a bun lol). This is a different bun, one that has an appely sweetness, and the freshness of grass. Get a handful of hay in the mix, strong clove and nutmeg, and ya got this adorable bun.

    Raminou

    Definately animalistic, with a chewy, sweet and soft centre. I'm having a pretty bad cold so i don't know if i'm getting everything. But, there's something about this that is SO specifically "something" from my childhood, even though I have no god damn clue what the heck it could be. Not to do with a cat, perhaps a dental office or something like that? Again, could be the cold messing up my senses. I do agree that it's autumnal and cozy and absolutely fits the image of a tabby cat.

    Horreur Sympathique

    Definately will have to agree with the bubbly fruit champagne mention above, first thing that popped in my head was 'currant champagne'. There's a strong sour/fizzy note in there that's almost similar to the one in Blue fire (though that one's definately more 'ALCOHOL', this is a more lower percentage-but-still-a-lovely-cocktail-scent). It gets a bit softer on the skin and ever so slightly plummier.
