Halloween 2023 update, thoughts

I already ordered bottles and decants, so I don't really have to narrow anything down this time.  Just some thoughts and predictions while I wait...   All of Their Heads Fell Off Perfume Oil Oozing cactus flesh, creosote, dusty boards, and gruesome globs of blood musk.  Will the cactus be planty?  For some reason "oozing cactus flesh" sounds kind of fruity.  Anyway, I ordered a decant.  Nothing here sounds bad to me and it could be great.     Bonfire Toffee Perfume Oil Our spin on a traditional Guy Fawkes Night treat: treacle toffee soaked in rich, dark bourbon.  This sounds way too sweet and I skipped it, although I do like booze scents.     Dia de los Muertos Perfume Oil This is a Mexican paean to La Huesuda: dry, crackling leaves, the incense smoke of altars honoring Death and the Dead, funeral bouquets, the candies, chocolates, foods and tobacco of the ofrenda, amaranth, sweet cactus blossom and desert cereus.  Decant ordered - I might have smelled this once before but I've never owned it, and I'm excited to try it again!     Hand-Knitted Witch Gloves Perfume Oil Wooly and witchy, fuzzy and scuzzy, long green fingers tipped with ruby-red nails: raw wool, sweet oakmoss, and cranberry brandy.  I ordered a bottle, the combination sounded too weird to pass up!     Is He, You Know Perfume Oil
Sweet 13-year aged patchouli, peru balsam, white oakmoss, French lavender, spikenard, bourbon vanilla, and sugar cane.  I don't see anything not to like here, so I took a chance and got a bottle.     October Perfume Oil Dry, cold autumn wind. A rustle of red leaves, a touch of smoke and sap in the air.   Decant ordered - I love my old bottle, and wanted to compare old with new.     Pumpkin Latte Perfume Oil Espresso, pumpkin syrup, smoky vanilla bean, milk, raw sugar, and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.  Sounds a little too sweet for me.  I like sweet scents sometimes, but I'm picky about them.    Pumpkin Spice Everything Perfume Oil Literally everything. Pumpkin spice it all. A rich blend of traditional spices: cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, and clove.  Never have tried this.  I feel like Plunder is the only spice scent I really need, although I would try this for sure if I crossed paths with it.    Pumpkin Trash Bag Perfume Oil A crinkly, crunchy, cartoony jack-o-lantern scent, stuffed full of leaves and eager to please: orange blossom, blood orange, and orange hard candy with pumpkin pulp and smushed leaves.  Bottled - sounds too fun to pass up and can't really imagine it disappointing in any way.     Samhain Perfume Oil Truly the scent of autumn itself — damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein.  I have a few different vintages, in bottle or decant form, and decided to get a decant this year.  I never get tired of this scent!     Sugar Skull Perfume Oil Vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits.  See Samhain above - same with this!     Things are Fine Perfume Oil The blissful contentment of committing to exist in the moment: white sandalwood smoke, hinoki, white tea, and falling leaves.  I went for a decant, it sounds great but white sandalwood went out of control in another scent recently (on my skin)... I think it was The Queen and The Page?     Vintage Frankenstein Blow Mold Perfume Oil A shell of milky plastic surrounding a puff of mint chocolate chip-scented air, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.  No chocolate chips for me thanks!  Well, not in perfume form.   Vintage Ghost Blow Mold Perfume Oil Milky-white plastic and a hollow gasp of candy-corn breath, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.  I'd try this if I crossed paths with it, but decided to skip it for now.  The 40 watts part kind of worried me, sounds kind of ozoney?   Dusk in Autumn   A Little Silver Scimitar Perfume Oil Foamy orris and ambergris accord pierced by a sliver of white fir needle, moonflower, and cypress.  I can pass on this for now, sounds like it would be soapy on my skin.    A Timid Twinkling Golden Star Perfume Oil Tuberose and sweet amber.  This sounds lovely but I'm not too certain about bpal's tuberose note.  I ordered a decant, we'll see.     The Witches Have a Fire Again Perfume Oil Smoldering spiced oak boughs and pine pitch crackling with golden sap.  Decant!  I like oak, I just hope the pine pitch doesn't do anything weird on me.     Witches’ Currant Cake Perfume Oil Red currant and rosewater gooseberry cake with a sugar-dusted gingerbread crumble topping.  I almost blind bottled this one too, but went for a decant instead.  This kind of scent can be unpredictable on me but it does sound lovely.    Witches’ Tea Perfume Oil Blackberry thorn tea.  I ordered a bottle.  I have been enjoying the lab's blackberry scents, and this sounded great.      Halloween Atmosphere and Linen Sprays 2023 Passed on all of these - already have enough home scents  Fig, Autumn Amber, and Tobacco Atmosphere & Linen Spray October Bonfire Atmosphere & Linen Spray Burning leaves and smoldering applewood. Pumpkin Incense Atmosphere & Linen Spray A caramelized pumpkin kyphi.   Halloween Bath Oil 2023   Hard Candy Bath Oil Release your cares into a warm, soothing bath of liquefied hard candies. Passed on this, the scent didn't sound that exciting to me.    Halloween Hair Gloss 2023 Passed on these because I have tons of hg already  Autumn Fougere Hair Gloss A campfire cologne with a cluster of musk-sweet leaves and a hint of leather. Maple Leaves, Golden Moss, and Amber Hair Gloss Palo Santo and Patchouli Hair Gloss Pumpkin Buttercream Hair Gloss Pumpkin puree whipped into thick folds of buttercream. Samhain Hair Gloss Truly the scent of autumn itself — damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein.   Heloise & Abelard’s Spooky Duets   Belladonna Berries and Mandrake Root Perfume Oil Pass for now..it sounds a little like Screaming Mandragora (if I got the name right?) which I already have, even though it's just an imp.    Congealed Blood and Oozing Viscera Perfume Oil Passed on this, just wasn't calling to me.    Grave Moss and Bone Splinters Perfume Oil  Decant!  Sounds like Hessian of the Hollow which I love.    Human Animals   Bringer of Evil Perfume Oil A foreboding tremble of poppy leaf, cerulean musk, violet grapefruit, mimosa, orris butter, and benzoin. Pass, not calling out to me.   Elimanzer Perfume Oil Strangely sinister frumenty: oatmeal, heavy cream, butter, salt, and a whiff of brimstone.  Pass, the oatmeal note didn't sound good to me, also heavy cream and butter could go badly on me.   Elizabeth’s Imps Perfume Oil A promise in the shadows: black molasses, cinnamon bark, and glowing amber.  Decant!  This actually sounds really nice.     Lady of Saintonge Perfume Oil Perfumed black silk encasing a mangled, blood-spattered talon of white sandalwood, ivory accord, and inky fur.  Pass for now, didn't quite sound like something I would like.    The Corn Spirit Perfume Oil Rye stalks, corn husks, hay absolute, tilled soil, and German chamomile.  Passed on this too, I like hay and soil, but not the other notes.     The Hound and the Milk-White Doe Perfume Oil Graceful, regal, elegant, and cursed: golden sandalwood and liquidambar, cardamom, coconut milk, jasmine sambac, white petal rosewater, and labdanum.  I think I passed on this too - sounds too strong for some reason.    Witch-Birds Perfume Oil Blinding-white mallow and vanilla sandalwood streaked with indigo opium pod accord, velvet black violet petals, wild plum, and opoponax.  Bottle ordered!  Sounds interesting, took a chance.    Monster Milk   Ghost Milk Perfume Oil Goat’s milk, marshmallow, vanilla cashmere, honey dust, and white chocolate.  Pass on honey dust.   Invisible Man Milk Perfume Oil Sheer musk and an exhale of evaporated milk.  Pass, for now.     Mummy Milk Perfume Oil Condensed milk wrapped in coconut shavings and tea-stained linen with a hint of bitumen, myrrh, and embalming resins.  Decant - this is the only Milk one I was somewhat interested in, I think myrrh sounds nice in this combination.    Vampire Milk Perfume Oil A creamy coagulation of clove bud and goat’s milk.  Pass, clove can misbehave on me.    Witch Milk Perfume Oil Honey-infused goat milk, incense smoke, yew boughs, black pepper, mandrake root, ambrette seed, red currant, kitchen herbs, and fly agaric accord.  Pass, the combination didn't grab me.    Wolf Milk Perfume Oil Crunchy leaves, well-worn black leather, cardamom pod, moonlit yellow bergamot, woodmoss, molasses, and buttermilk.  Pass, although now looking again, might be interesting?  I'll watch reviews.    Zombie Milk Perfume Oil Grave-dry rice milk, black moss, hemp fibers, bone-white sandalwood and orris root, and bog osmanthus.  Pass, didn't grab me.   Nightmare Novellas   A Boy and His Zombie Perfume Oil
Zombie-green lime hard candies with a glob of marshmallow white matter and a splat of cherry viscera.  Passed on this    A Melancholy of Goths Perfume Oil
Clove smoke, champaca incense, plum velvet, and hairspray.  Sounds ok except for clove and hairspray - two notes that could misbehave    An Autumn Stroll for a Pumpkin Man Perfume Oil
Russet dried maple leaves crunching around a jack o’lantern splashed with bay rum, curling with cigar smoke.  Could not resist a decant.  Nothing sounds bad here, except it could be too strong and/or aftershavey.    Butterscotch and Gummy Candy Witch Perfume Oil
Butterscotch brittle, burnt coffee beans, and sour apple gummies.  3 notes I don't really care about in perfume!    Don’t Play Fetch with a Teenage Werewolf Perfume Oil Honey biscuits, warm auburn fur, and a squished chocolate nougat bar.  Another 3 notes I don't really care for!    Halfway to Halloween Perfume Oil
Sweet fig and golden almond with buttery amber and a flutter of autumn leaves.  This sounded great and I took a chance on a bottle.    Halloween Cat Perfume Oil
Cacao and coconut husk dusted on shining black fur, illuminated by electric green mandarin and raw amber.  The combination didn't sound like something I would like.    Headless Perfume Oil Black leather and brimstone alight with red peppercorn and blood amber.  Kind of tempting but pass mostly because of the peppercorn, it can misbehave sometimes.    It Jittered Out of the Woods Perfume Oil
Corn husks and freshly uprooted gourds in a rustle of twigs, dead oak leaves, and a faint whiff of myrrh.  Passed, not calling me for some reason, although it doesn't sound too bad now..    Make a Face Perfume Oil
A surrealist swirl of ethereal yellow bergamot, white pomegranate rind, lemon peel, and white musk.  Thought about it but ended up passing altogether.  I think I already have something with lemon peel and white musk, and I think it was too loud and perfumey.     Man With a Haunted House for a Head Perfume Oil
Creaking oak floorboards coated in dust. A trembling sandalwood spiderweb writhes with long-buried memories.  I passed but now I'm more curious... What could this smell like?   Slumber Ghoul Perfume Oil
Sleepy lavender bud, the memory of warm milk, a splinter of bone dust, and a clawful of upturned grave loam.  Decant - I love lavender plus earth/soil notes.    The Harvest Haunt Perfume Oil A thick, viscous blackened pumpkin incense. Ordered a bottle!  Was too intrigued to pass it up, but it's a risk.  Could be really strong and go off the rails on my skin.    Wayfaring Stranger Perfume Oil An offering of footstep dust and rusted keys, raw tobacco and whiskey, coconut shells and candle wax.  Pass for now, kind of hit-and-miss notes for me.   Witch in the Woods Perfume Oil A tangle of blackthorn, mandrake root, and myrrh scratching through cypress boughs, blackberry resin, and incense smoke.  I think I'most excited to try this, it just sounds so very Halloweenie!    Pumpkin Patch Happy Hour   Pumpkin Spice Absinthe Perfume Oil A recurring fave at the BPAL cantina. No, you’re not hallucinating: this pairing smells divine! Pass    Pumpkin Spice Champagne Perfume Oil The bubbles from this calabaza go straight to your cabeza.  Decant    Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Vodka Perfume Oil Fun fact: they call this time of year “Fall” because of the difficulty of staying on your barstool after a few of these. Pass    Pumpkin Spice Dark ‘N’ Stormy Perfume Oil In a mood? Pour one of these over it: extra spicy rum fizzed up with ginger beer and garnished with a lime wedge. Pass    Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini Perfume Oil A triple shot with extra drizzle to keep you vamping till the sun comes up. Pass    Pumpkin Spice Hot Buttered Rum Perfume Oil Time to get cozy next to a crackling fire and let the season enfold you in its spicy, buttery arms. Pass 
  Pumpkin Spice Margarita Perfume Oil You might regret this in the morning, but tonight is all about living in the moment! Served in a salt-rimmed gourd. Pass    Pumpkin Spice Piña Colada Perfume Oil You’ll just have to trust the bartender on this one! An extra loco coco to encourage beach goths to attempt some moonlight skinny-dipping. Decant, this actually sounds really fun.  Looking forward to trying it!

Halloween breakdown 2024

All Hallows Oud Perfume Oil Black oud spookied up with pumpkin puree, amaretto, scorched caramel, almond paste, cacao nibs, and honey. Wary of oud, especially black oud.  Also I generally avoid both caramel and honey.  Interest level rating: 2/5    Bonfire Toffee Perfume Oil Our spin on a traditional Guy Fawkes Night treat: treacle toffee soaked in rich, dark bourbon. I think I've tried this before but I can't remember for sure.  At any rate, it's not really calling me.  2/5   Bourbon-Soaked Pumpkin Peanut Butter Fudge Perfume Oil Gooey. I just have no interest in nuts or nut butter in perfume.  1/5   Dry Ice Cocktail Perfume Oil A sparkling absinthe martini swirled with a glow stick and overflowing with cascades of dry ice fog. I like absinthe notes but dry ice fog makes me think of one of the "fog" scents that I tried a few years ago, I think it was a Yule series?  And I didn't like that one much.  Anyway this one isn't calling to me.  2/5   Pumpkin Latte Perfume Oil Espresso, pumpkin syrup, smoky vanilla bean, milk, raw sugar, and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. This sounds like a candle scent to me, which isn't necessarily bad, but I just never had much interest in this one.  2/5    Pumpkin Musk and Black Oud Perfume Oil A strangely romantic, disturbingly erotic perfume. Has this come out before?  I feel like I've tried it.  Pass for now.  It wasn't bad (if it was the same scent), just not calling me right now.  2/5    Pumpkin Spice Everything Perfume Oil Literally everything! Pumpkin spice it all with this traditional brew of cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, and clove. I have a decant and like it, don't need more.  2/5   Pumpkin Spice Halo-Halo Perfume Oil With apologies to my ancestors. Ube halaya and ube ice cream chonked with mango jelly, flan, boiled taro, evaporated milk, sweetened kidney beans, dried coconut, kaong, gulaman, tapioca pearls, and a copious shake of pumpkin spice.  Sounds interesting, I wouldn't mind trying a decant.  3/5    Pumpkin Sugar Perfume Oil Crystallized glittering shards of lightly spiced pumpkin sugar. I have an old decant and like it, but not sure I need more or not.  I will retest it in the near future.  3/5    Samhain Perfume Oil Truly the scent of autumn itself — damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein. I love Samhain, but I don't need more.  2/5    Sugar Skull Perfume Oil Vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits. I love Sugar Skull but don't need more - although I'm curious if it's different this year!  It seems there are some different versions of it in the last few years.  Maybe a decant.  3/5    Vintage Pumpkin Blow Mold Perfume Oil A grinning, glowing gourd gleaming with 40 watts of radiant white musk, sweet orange, crystalline amber, and pumpkin rind. I have this in my cart, Vintage Ghost was so good, I'm interested in this too.  4/5    Halloween 2024 - Carmilla   A Glare of Skulking Ferocity Perfume Oil Scorched oud, bitter resins, black musk, a torn shred of gossamer vanilla, and a clang of metal. Not sure about oud, bitter resins and metal.  Possibly a decant.  2/5    Carmilla Hair Gloss Sweetness shadowed by danger: dark amber and ylang ylang gleams through smoky chestnut, cacao, mahogany, blackcurrant, and vanilla bean. No hg for me, I have enough.    Chocolat Viennois Perfume Oil Turns out this is a thing that vampires are into. A warm mug of dark chocolate and cream with a dribble of blood. Chocolate perfumes aren't usually my thing.  2/5    Come With Me, Loving Me to Death Perfume Oil
Black orchid, cacao, bitter almond, and black musk. It depends on the orchid, but really, I can probably pass on this, unless I get really curious from reviews.  2/5   Darling, Darling Perfume Oil
Sugared pear and wild violets with orris butter, coconut milk, white musk, and vanilla silk. This combination doesn't sound appealing to me.  Edit: it kind of sounds like a Luper scent!  I would definitely try it if it crossed my path.  2/5    Die, Sweetly Die Perfume Oil
Inevitable surrender. Opening with a heady blend of blood orange and black cherry, the heart of this perfume pulsates with narcotic jasmine, sinuous tuberose, blood amber, vanilla silk, and deep red labdanum. I was on board until red labdanum, I have a questionable history with that note.  2/5    Indescribable Solemnity and Fear Perfume Oil
The crescendo of a phantom’s caress: golden frankincense and cardamom smothered by honeyed kisses of labdanum, red rose, merlot, black oud, and myrrh. Couple of iffy notes for me, and labdanum in general can turn sour on me.  2/5   Laura Hair Gloss An ode to delicate femininity, evoking an image of a golden beauty bathed in sunlight: delicate sandalwood and white musk shimmering with neroli, yellow amber, pear blossom, peonies, and iris. No hg for me.   Melancholy Fire Perfume Oil
A luminous cold flame: chilled bergamot, Ceylon cinnamon, white clove bud, amber, and incense smoke. Sounds kind of interesting, maybe decant.  3/5   Millarca Perfume Oil
White lace, blackcurrant, and tea roses. I'd like to smell this.  3/5    Mircalla, Countess Karnstein Perfume Oil
Black velvet, blackcurrant, and black roses. Definitely interested.  4/5    My Soul Acquiesced in It Perfume Oil Melancholic white rose petals drifting in a pool of white musk, bitter almond, and icy vanilla. Hmm.. possible decant.  3/5   My Wild Heart Bleeds With Yours Perfume Oil A fierce rush of pink pepper, carnation, pulsating red berries, and crimson musk. I'm interested but wary of pepper and carnation.  3/5    Resembling the Passion of Love Perfume Oil
All-consuming, relentless desire – deceptively luscious, murderously brooding, and blindingly sensual: blood musk, black cherry, crimson amber, 21-year aged patchouli, golden saffron, jasmine sambac, and black rose. Not sure but could be good.  3/5    Ruins of Karnstein Perfume Oil Palatial grandeur in ruins, its decrepit majesty poised in the liminal space between decay and beauty. A haunting memory of all-consuming desire: the rich, earthy depth of oud, vetiver, and moss, grounded in the untamed wilds of the forest, echoing the ancient stones that remain. Wary of oud and moss.  2/5    Seven Inches of Blood Perfume Oil
A shimmering pool of coppery red musk, Dracaena cinnabari, clove bud, cacao, and lead. I want to love this but wary of "coppery" and wary of lead.  4/5   Sinister Restlessness Perfume Oil
Fear and fascination: blackened vetiver, amber smoke, clove, and oudh. There's that oudh again.  3/5    Smiling Melancholy Perfume Oil Distant, enigmatic, shadowed: delicate heliotrope and pale rose petals, muted and soft, resting atop a chilly, intimate base that blends white musk, cashmere woods, and a touch of tonka bean. Might be good.  3/5    Strange Paroxysms of Languid Adoration Perfume Oil
Parasitic intoxication: narcissus, opium poppy, and red orchid veiled in heliotrope, blush sandalwood, and crushed violet. Narcissus is a deal breaker for me.  2/5    That Silvery Splendor Perfume Oil Moon-kissed petals of night-blooming florals aflame with hypnotic opium tar, fae tuberose, and a sliver of metallic aldehyde. I'd smell it but it will probably be soapy on me.  2/5   The Fading Crimson of the Sky Perfume Oil A scent both bright and subdued: bergamot shuddering through lime leaves, ruby-tinged amber sunlight, violet leaf, oak bark, and sandalwood smoke. Sounds kind of interesting.  3/5    The Great and Titled Dead Perfume Oil The haunted stillness of a long-decayed cemetery plot choked by ivy and wild blackberry thorns. Very interested.  4/5    Troubled by Revenants Perfume Oil
A paean to ancient malevolence and the unseen forces that grasp and scratch at the living like gnarled roots clawing through blood-stained soil in midnight forests: patchouli, mandrake root, black pepper, and fossilized amber. Somewhat interested.  3/5    You Are Mine, You Shall Be Mine, You and I Are One for Ever Perfume Oil
The consuming intensity of a passion that claims body and soul, blurring the boundaries between longing and obsession, lust and loathing. Ylang ylang and clove evoke the heat of skin against skin, bruised by bittersweet blackcurrant honey kisses. I like the concept a lot but wary of some notes, especially "honey kisses".  3 or 4/5   Halloween 2024 - Freak in the Sheets Pt. II   Lavender Silk Sheet Ghost Perfume Oil A sleek, seductive eternal slumber: silky ripples of spectral lavender cascading around the labdanum-shadowed absence of a living being. Wary of labdanum, otherwise sounds good.  3 or 4/5   Motel Sheet Ghost Perfume Oil Chills and thrills, but certainly no frills: a polluted, rough-riding version of the Traditional Sheet Ghost: cool white cotton, marshmallow fluff, and lemony Oman frankincense, marred with suspicious blotches of coconut oil and a cigarette burn. Pass on this one.  2/5    Traditional Sheet Ghost Perfume Oil Boo! Cool white cotton, marshmallow fluff, and lemony Oman frankincense. My bottle from last year is enough.  1/5    Tropical Print Sheet Ghost Perfume Oil Does the carcass match the drapes? Cascades of banana Leaf, bamboo fiber, mango, papaya, and hibiscus, streaked with ectoplasm and sticky tears of strelitzia sap. Not for me.  2/5    Halloween 2024 - Halloween Atmospheres 2024 Pass on atmo sprays.  1/5    Pumpkin Nut Bread Atmosphere Spray Pumpkin puree baked into a walnut-studded loaf, steaming with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.   Halloween 2024 - Halloween Beard Oils 2024 Pass on beard oils.  1/5    Bonfire Smoke Beard Oil Woodmoke, glowing embers, drifting ash, and the memory of bones.   Pumpkin Spice Beard Oil Pumpkin spice EVERYTHING.   Type AB-Beard Oil For the most discerning vampires. Dragon’s blood resin, black cherry, clove, cardamom, black leather, and kyphi smoke.   Halloween 2024 - Halloween Hair Glosses 2024 No hg for me.  0/5  Autumn Bouquet Hair Gloss Carnations, sunset roses, hydrangea, and sunflowers bound in a clove-tinged pumpkin-orange velvet ribbon.   Halloween 2024 - Heloise & Abelard’s Spooky Single Notes   Black Lipstick Perfume Oil A goth awakening: waxy drugstore lipstick and clove cig residue. Pass for me.  2/5    Blood Squib Perfume Oil A sanguinous firecracker of cherry simple syrup and dragon’s blood resin. Might be nice but I already have Blood.  2 or 3/5   Bonfire Perfume Oil The perfume of withering leaves, their brittle forms surrendering to the flame, releasing a sigh of bitter smoke that is flickering with the ghosts of summer’s memory. Probably pass, I have some scents like this already.  2/5    Candied Apple Perfume Oil Sour green apples encased in a sticky shell of iconic glossy red caramelized sugar syrup. I don't like green apple perfumes, usually. 1/5   Clown White Perfume Oil No joke! Greasy petrolatum, lanolin, and titanium dioxide accords smeared with vanilla cream.  Please note: this product contains no clowns or clown-derived materia. Pass for me.  2/5    Datura Blossom Perfume Oil Corpse white and bruise-purple, sacred datura is native to my west coast homeland. A seductive, heady, hypnotic bloom, as poisonous as it is beautiful. I'm interested, but just have no idea what it smells like.  It could go either way.  4/5   Graveyard Dirt Perfume Oil This is the scent of pure graveyard dust, spattered with grave loam and dusted lightly with tombstone moss. I have a bottle already.  1/5    Insulation Board Tombstone Perfume Oil A fragrant melange of foam insulation board, PVC pipes, jigsaw grease, stone-textured spray paint, and polyurethane sealant. Pass for me.  2/5    Halloween 2024 - Nightmare Novellas Pt. II   Fuchsia Eyes Perfume Oil
Blood-tinged raspberries oozing into globs of blackcurrant and red plum. A "fruit notes only" scent isn't that interesting to me, it needs to have something else.  2/5    Hatman Perfume Oil Scarlet musk, red oud, opium poppy, and tobacco absolute. Sounds too red.  2/5    Hollow Hallow Perfume Oil
A suffocating pumpkin kyphi soaked in dark red wine and darkened by vetiver, opoponax, and black oud. Possible decant.  3/5    Jolly Perfume Oil
Pumpkin cream, caramel-coated marshmallow, crushed candy corn, lemon peel, and belladonna honey. Doesn't sound like my thing.  2/5    Leaf Spirits Perfume Oil
Smoky vetiver, flaming sparks of black pepper, clove, and nutmeg, charred wood, and dark amber. Sounds too dark and raspy, but I'd try it.  2/5    Sleight of Hand Perfume Oil Incense-tarred patchouli, opoponax, blackened cloth, frankincense resin, and black moss. Hmmm... Sounds a little rough but I'm somewhat curious.  3/5    Slowly She Turned Perfume Oil
Flaming amber, queen mandarin rind, yellow peppercorn, scorched yellow roses, and a hint of decay. Interested, likely decant.  3/5    Sweet Tooth Perfume Oil Scorched candy corn and melted toffees Pass for me.  2/5    The Autumn Folk Perfume Oil
Hay-dusted oak, honey mead, pumpkin rind, vetiver root, corn husk, and maple leaves. Couple of no-no notes for me, the combination doesn't appeal very much.  2/5    The Bell Witch Perfume Oil
Rusted iron, mandrake root, burnt vetiver, and patchouli leaves Sounds very cold and raspy.  2/5    The Treat Keeper Perfume Oil Dried apples, sour apple mash, and molasses. Not an apple perfume fan.  2/5    Halloween 2024 - Pile of Leaves 2024   Copperhead Snake on Dead Leaves Perfume Oil Snake Oil slithering through a scattering of dead leaves with amber, cardamom, cistus, hops, white sandalwood, neroli, orris root, and smoked vanilla. Hmm, could be good.  Possible decant.  3/5    Dead Leaves and Honeycomb Perfume Oil Not for me.  1/5    Dead Leaves, Black Tea, and Bergamot Perfume Oil Possible decant.  2 or 3/5   Dead Leaves, Blood Orange, and Neroli Perfume Oil Probably pass.  2/5    Dead Leaves, Burnt Marshmallows, Clove Cream, and Whiskey Perfume Oil I'm strangely interested.  3/5    Dead Leaves, Dried Lilacs, and Labdanum Perfume Oil Pass.  2/5    Dead Leaves, Incense Smoke and Oud Perfume Oil Probably pass.  2/5    Dead Leaves, Lavender Buds, and Golden Sandalwood Perfume Oil Interested in a decant.  3/5    Dead Leaves, Oakmoss, and Pine Needles Perfume Oil Probably pass.  2/5    Halloween 2024 - Pile of Leaves 2024 - Pile of Leaves Hair Glosses 2024 No hg for me.  0/5 Dead Leaves and Pomegranates Hair Gloss   Dead Leaves, Nag Champa, Tunisian Patchouli, and Vanilla Bean Hair Gloss   Halloween 2024 - Pumpkin Patch 2024   Embalmed Pumpkin Perfume Oil Pumpkin rind encased in white musk, green tea, aloe and lemon. Mildly interested.  2/5    Knave of Pumpkins Perfume Oil Crushed roses, red currant, and pumpkin tarts. Very interested to at least try it.  I actually have a bottle in my cart.  4/5    Moroccan Pumpkin Perfume Oil Pumpkin spices wind through a blend of warm musk, carnation, red sandalwood and cassia. Interested but I already have bottles of Morocco and Pomegranate Morocco.  Not sure about this.  3/5    Pumpkin Bliss Perfume Oil Honey-dusted milk chocolate pumpkin bites. Honey and chocolate, no thank you.  1/5    Pumpkin Blood Perfume Oil Pumpkin pulp and dragon’s blood resin, thickened with myrrh, black cherry, and a trickle of clove. Somewhat interested, but I already have a bottle of Blood.  2 or 3/5   Pumpkin Kisses Perfume Oil Sloppily sexy: sweetly spiced pumpkin juice with vanilla cream and wildflower honey, smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk. Very interested, 4/5    Pumpkin Lust Perfume Oil We don’t judge. Red musk, patchouli, ylang ylang, myrrh, and pumpkin guts. Probably pass 2/5    Pumpkin Smokestack Perfume Oil Burnt pumpkin skins, creosote, coal, and industrial waste. Pass 1/5    Pumpkin Tombstone Perfume Oil I’m yer pumpkinberry: dried pumpkin leather with vanilla, balsam and sassafras layered over Virginia cedar. Probably pass 2/5    Halloween 2024 - Wild Hearses Atmosphere Spray Series No atmo spray for me, 0/5  Convertible Hearse Atmosphere Spray The cadaver, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind: a chilly whoosh of dead leaves seasoned with the perfect amount of smog.   Headless Hearseman Atmosphere Spray A bottomless swirl of black leather, dead branches, and flaming pumpkin guts.   Hearse of Pancakes Atmosphere Spray There’s still a little time to kill before the viewing… surely it wouldn’t hurt to stop for a short stack? Black coffee, syrup-drenched buckwheat cakes, and a crusty cruller for the road.   Hiss and Hearse Atmosphere Spray A dribble of Dorian and a squiggle of Snake Oil, delicately stirred with a moss-crusted muddy shovel.   Hot Pink Hearse Atmosphere Spray A dream hearse for anyone who grew up presiding over numerous doll funerals: flashy pink guava, strawberry jam, sugared pink grapefruit, blackberry, bergamot, and pink champagne adorned with a gleaming chrome Landau bar.   Lime Green Hearse Atmosphere Spray A shiny, genteel, vintage ride for all those who feel dead inside: lime rind, citron, petitgrain, white musk, a swish of bay rum and a bit of black pepper.

Lupercalia 2025 breakdown

Might take a couple days to get through this!  There are lots of "maybes" this time.  Posting here because I want to come back and edit, probably multiple times.   Box of Chocolates 2025 
Choco-Goblin Perfume Oil        Coconut covered chocolate lumps, gnarly patchouli, and sweet benzoin. Pass - not usually a big chocolate fan (in my perfume), but I am interested in the white chocolate ones.  (Sometimes there are exceptions though).  I like Goblin but this combination doesn't sound great to me.
Choco-TKO Perfume Oil A soporific dessert: Hidcote lavender, golden hops, and vanilla bean dusted with cacao. Pass - have enough TKO in various forms.
Chocubus Perfume Oil  Frozen white chocolate and the heart-stopping chill of sheared mint, fanned by caramel-touched body heat, and the diabolical sensuality of black musk, nicotiana, and sage. Interested, decant?  I tried Incubus a long time ago and it's fine but I never wear it (I think it gave me nightmares or something), but this combination of notes has potential. 
Horreur Choco-Tique Perfume Oil   Dark chocolate, ruby cocoa, blood musk, golden honey, thick black wine, champagne grapes, tobacco flower, plum blossom, tonka bean, oakmoss, carnation, benzoin, opoponax, and sugar cane. Pass - mainly due to honey, we don't get along.  Although looking at this I wonder if it smells anything like Temple Viper?  It's a stretch but TV gives me grape + incense vibes, and they do share the sugar cane note.
Sea Foams Chocolate Perfume Oil  White chocolate froth and marshmallow fluff cresting on an ocean wave. Don’t drink it! Interested!  I really liked Supposed To Be A Pretzel, I know this isn't the same but still my mind is connecting them for some reason.  Decant.
The Dark Chocolate Rider Perfume Oil    Dark chocolate, leather, sweet myrrh, tobacco absolute, and black amber.
The Ruby Chocolate Rider Perfume Oil     Ruby chocolate, red leather, red musk, red berries, red mosses, balsam, and passion flower cordial.
The White Chocolate Rider Perfume Oil    White chocolate, frothed milk, sandalwood, and leather. Don't need any of the Riders, tried them when they first came out and they weren't for me.
White Chocolate Rabbit Perfume Oil     White chocolate filled with black tea and cream, splooged with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla. Interested, I like gc White Rabbit and also the snow one, and I'd like to try this one too.  Decant.   Girth of Venus Cake for Breakfast Perfume Oil         Peach silk, cherry fizz, pain au chocolat, and a cup of generously creamed black tea. Pass but it was close.
Erotes’ Valentine Perfume Oil     Pink buttercream roses, wingbeats of pearly suede, and whorls of dark musk. Pass - for now
Mars and Venus Perfume Oil     A stolen moment preserved for eternity in a gleaming amber jewel, entombed in malachite swirls of oakmoss and velvet. Pass, pretty confident on this one.
The Crimson Perfume Oil     Burnished rosewood, clove cigarette smoke, oozing apple slices, and plum cashmere cushions fouled with trickles of labdanum. Pass on this one. 
The Pearl Perfume Oil     A salt-encrusted cocoon overflowing with almond blossoms, sweet patchouli, and dried peony petals whipped into orris butter. I feel like I have more than one thing like this already but not sure.  Pass for now.    Lupercalia 2025
Amoretti LXXV Perfume Oil         A great and golden love: immortal, undying, infinite. A love brightly burned into the stone of eternity: golden amber and scarlet musk, black vanilla absolute, red apple, Siamese benzoin, and sweet fig. Pass, mostly because of apple, it tends to take over the whole scent on my skin and ends up smelling like shampoo.
Like the Very Gods Perfume Oil     Shuddering, sweat-warmed skin gleaming with sheer musk, honeyed olive blossoms, vanilla cedar, white sandalwood, and orris butter. Pass for sure because of the honeyed part, I know it would dominate on me.
Luperci Perfume Oil    This scent is for the Luperci, the Chosen of Faunus, the Brothers of the Wolf: raw, down and dirty patchouli, Gurjam balsam, and essence of Sampson Root sweetened with the heightened sexuality of beeswax, virile juniper, oakmoss, ambrette seed over honey and East African musk. Pass, tried before and didn't work for me.
Penetralia Perfume Oil    That heavenly spot where creamy, angel-pink hibiscus petals meet the pale, juicy-green pistil. Pass, for now but could change my mind.  I don't really know what hibiscus smells like.
Pink Fuzzy Handcuffs Perfume Oil     It’s not quite as fun when you lose the key. Pink cotton candy, candied rose, and vanilla sugar. Pass, pretty confidently.  I like some sweet scents but this sounds VERY sweet. 
Red Lantern Perfume Oil     A tribute to the opium den cum bawdyhouses of Shanghai in the 1930’s. Golden amber, blonde tobacco, Sudanese black coconut, rich caramel, black currant, white opium and delphinium laced with a sensual blend of Asian spice. I will pass for now. I think I tried this before and didn't get alomg with it.
Rose Milk Tea Perfume Oil     An impossibly sweet concoction of green tea and frothed almond milk poured over fresh rose petals and glistening tapioca pearls. Had to really think about it but I'm going to pass for now.  I'm not really in the mood for rose right now.   Smut Perfume Oil     We are the smuttiest. Three swaggering, smutty musks sweetened with sugar and woozy with dark booze notes. Like it, but my 1 bottle is enough.
Snake Skin Perfume Oil     A sinuous leather variant of BPALs Snake Oil. Have it and don't need more.
The Elephant is Slow to Mate Perfume Oil     A rolling, unhurried, volcanic passion sustained by a love that is slow, shy, patient, and wise – and expressed through a scent as warm, languorous, luxuriant, and comforting as a cloak of heavy, soft red velvet: deep burgundy musk, red labdanum, smoked rose petals, opoponax, 17-year aged patchouli, blackened vanilla bean, dried black cherries, blackberries, and tobacco absolute. Have it and don't need more, although I should try it again, it has been a while. 
The Serpent in the Carnations Perfume Oil     Snake Oil-soaked carnation petals, spiked with a dash of clove and allspice. I have a bottle and don't need more, even if it's different this year (not sure if it is).
The Serpent in the Lilacs Perfume Oil   Spring’s first lilac branches dunked in 3-year aged Snake Oil. I really just feel like I have enough SO variants. 
The Serpent in the Opium Poppies Perfume Oil    Snake Oil, opium tar, indigo poppy petals, plum cognac, and a dribble of laudanum. Pass but the hype is testing me. 
The Serpent in the Roses Perfume Oil     Snake Oil dribbling across a cluster of amber-flecked, blackened rose petals. Already have it and don't need more.
White Flowers, Red Ink, Black Paper Perfume Oil     If this year’s Lupercalia fragrance collection was a book, it would be printed in blood-red ink rolled across the soft, stubborn bodies of dream-pale flowers, and stamped onto heavy black paper. We’d pass it around before the letters had a chance to dry, staining fingers with the turn of every page, marking the curious as aspiring erotes, as fellow Lupercalians. The sanguine contents of this text were made to be devoured by the eyes, the skin, the heart, and then the story continued by its readers, passed along to others. Pass on this one, not really calling to me.  I'm not big on ink and paper scents, from my experience.
Womb Furie Perfume Oil  An itch that needs to be scratched: Snake Oil and three types of honey. No thank you!   On Lovers' Lips Coquette Red Perfume Oil         A flirty strawberry-tinged rose lipstick.
Dominatrix Red Perfume Oil     Latex, leather, and blood-red lipstick.
Egyptian Red Perfume Oil     Cleopatra’s vibrant carmine suffused with myrrh, blue lotus absolute, cinnamon bark, elemi resin, and cassia.
Elizabethan Red Perfume Oil     Orange blossom water, fig milk, clove bud, madder root, and gum arabic smeared on an ambergris-dabbed white leather glove.
Jiroft Red Perfume Oil     Ground hematite and manganite pounded into vegetable waxes and scented with dates, narcissus, rosewater, and oud.
Vixen Red Perfume Oil     Confidence, sensuality, glamour. Ripe black cherries, velvety red rose, and a flirtatious sparkle of pink pepper glide seamlessly through iris-touched vanilla bean wax. Don't need any of these - they just don't sound that appealing to me but I would sniff if any of them came my way (I guess that's true for just about any scent).   Raunchy Hearts 2025 Aces Wild Perfume Oil         A big, wet blue raspberry blown to the idea that asexual people never get off, don’t enjoy relationships, or are generally anti-sex.
Cuck Me Perfume Oil     A sticky-sweet love letter to the stranger (coworker? lifelong friend?) who’s been sleeping in your bed: candy cigarettes and root beer barrels.
Don’t Peek Perfume Oil     Lychee tears soaking through a blindfold of opium tar.
Findom Perfume Oil     An arrangement in which eros is expressed via liquid assets and cold, hard cash: shiny butterscotch and pale green vanilla mint.
U Tried Wild Perfume Oil     You sure did! Here’s your participation award: a bright, sweet lemon candy lightly dusted with sugar to soothe the sting of rejection.
UNF Perfume Oil    Hot, heavy slaps of dragon fruit punctuated with pink pepper whimpers and a grunt of patchouli.
Yelp Perfume Oil     Make some noise if it feels good! Make some noise if it feels bad! A paper pouch of popping peach and sour cherry candy Don't need any of these.  I can't afford to try a whole lot so I'm kind of glad when I can pass on a whole section.  Happy for those who are getting them, though. Edit: Ok I might want to try the lemon candy one.   The Seven Veils The Fifth Veil Perfume Oil         Putrefaction, the veil of decay. A yellowing shroud of raw-edged Muga silk, banana-spotted with chunks of fermented fig and exuding rich, earthy puffs of mushroom dust. Pass for sure
The First Veil Perfume Oil     Calcination, the black veil. A densely-ruffled carapace of peppered ambergris, sandalwood smoke, and charred silk Doesn't sound like something I would like.
The Fourth Veil Perfume Oil     Conjunction, the veil of reunion. Ripples of sage-green silk covered in a mossy velvet-burnout pattern of wildflowers and slithering ivy. Probably pass, but there is some potential here.  On the fence about this one.
The Second Veil Perfume Oil     Dissolution, the flowing veil. A crystal-sequined torrent of lilac-wine organza soiled with trampled grapeskins, cinnabar smudges, and smears of liquid myrrh. Undecided - probably pass but I weirdly want to try it.
The Seventh Veil Perfume Oil     Coagulation, the veil that lays bare. Bare skin visible through a glittering web of blood-red garnet beads strung on threads spun from filaments of pure gold. I'd like to smell this just out of curiosity but overall I think I can skip it for now. 
The Sixth Veil Perfume Oil     Distillation, the veil of steam. Condensation gathering in clouds of tulle, white tea, aqua vitae, rosemary liqueur, and bourbon vanilla. Same as above except I might actually look for a decant of this one. 
The Third Veil Perfume Oil     Separation, the veil of distinction. A tumble of pearly pale-blue chiffon shot through with slashes of white ginger and lined with ivory satin rosettes. Not sure, this is another wild card, maybe a decant?   Shungas 2025 A Cluster of Red Chrysanthemums Perfume Oil         Red chrysanthemum petals, guava pulp, crimson-tipped peonies, and sandalwood incense. Ok now we're talking.  I can't help but think of Chrysanthemum Moon but "sandalwood incense" could turn on me.  Probably a decant. 
A Pause in One’s Studies Perfume Oil     Luminous amber, white tea, sweet heliotrope, golden lotus petals, toasted almond blossom cream, and a smear of ink. Sounds nice but I have to be selective and this doesn't stand out a lot.  I will watch reviews though.  Maybe decant down the road.
A Record Book of Ships Entering the Harbor Perfume Oil    Vanilla sandalwood and vanilla cream with a hint of tobacco absolute and blackcurrant bud. Sounds nice but again, does this stand out? I feel like I've smelled lots of things with these notes already.  Possible decant. 
Affair Between an Amorous Doctor and a Wanton Married Woman Perfume Oil     Gurjum balsam, lemon peel, ginger root, and clove. Sounds a little too zingy for what I've been in the mood for lately.  But I do love a good lemony scent.... have to think some more on this one
An Intriguing Observation Perfume Oil     Pomegranate milk, scarlet musk, red sandalwood, frankincense, and white almond. Passing for now, I feel like I have plenty of red musk scents and it can sometimes take over. 
Aroused Demon Perfume Oil     Red and black vegetal musks, pink peppercorn, lychee, wild plum, green tea, oakmoss, and matcha Not a combo I'm really interested in right now.   Battledore and Shuttlecock Perfume Oil     Calla lilies, green tea, peony milk, and blue lilac. Now this is something I want to try and actually have a bottle in my cart at the moment!  (Edit: I got a decant to try first)
Cascade of Tissues Perfume Oil     Marshmallow cream, red silk musk, pomegranate juice, and red currant. Interested in the marshmallow cream but not the red musk.  Possible decant. 
Celestial Beings Making Love Above the Sea Perfume Oil     Eucalyptus blossom, salty foam, ambergris accord, blue spruce, white mint, lotus root, and blue musk. Sounds nice but I'm passing for now.  I like aquatics but there are a couple iffy notes here.
Contest of Flowers: Iris Perfume Oil     Iris, peony, and carnation petals soaked in strawberry cream and lotus milk. Has potential but I need to be strict and this doesn't quite make the cut. 
Convivial Vulva Perfume Oil     Cherry blossom cream, blush marshmallow, white amber, and wild pink strawberries.  This has potential but I'm skipping it for now.
Couple Engaged in Intimate Acts as the Man Pours Tea Perfume Oil     Jasmine tea, yuzu rice, and smoked vanilla. Decant - potential, but I also feel I have some other scents like this. 
Discarded Weapons Perfume Oil    Toasted rice, almond cream, champaca resin, fig, and roasted coconut meat. Again this has potential but I'm skipping for now.  It sounds similar to some other things I have.  I am interested in the rice note though.  Possible decant at some point.
Enthusiastic Recreation Perfume Oil     Vanilla-soaked sugared pear, frankincense, osmanthus blossoms, and hazelnut. This is a wild card and I can't decide.
Festival Acrobatics Perfume Oil     Akebia, guava pulp, pink sandalwood, melon, green bergamot, Florentine iris, and sandalwood. Undecided, potential decant?
Gongsun Sheng Uses Magic to Cause Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Perfume Oil     Ebony musk shot through with scarlet, tobacco absolute, a crack of ozone, and sandalwood-dusted rosy skin musk. Not quite what I'm looking for at the moment.
Great Pleasures for Women and Their Treasure Boxes Perfume Oil     Amber incense, guava cream, almond milk, and sandalwood. Pass for now, not calling out to me.
Hazy Moon Cats Perfume Oil     Sandalwood incense, dusky violet petals, mauve orris root, sweet labdanum, jasmine sambac, frankincense, and ti leaf. Not totally sure but probably pass for now.  Orris can sometimes come across like baby oil on me, and it's not a deal breaker but sometimes it stomps on the other notes.   In the Hallway of a Brothel Perfume Oil     Lemon cream, incense smoke, and candle wax. I usually pass on waxy scents.  I love the sound of lemon cream, though.   Intimate Experiments During Household Activities Perfume Oil    Mango cream, black cherry cordial, blackcurrant, and neroli. I'm wary of mango cream because I think it went wrong on me in the past.  And cherry notes can be very sweet and strong.
Jealousy, Fingering, Masturbation Perfume Oil    Green tea with mint cream, jasmine petals, lotus root, and sugared violets. This is very much the kind of thing I'm interested in right now - except the jasmine, it could take over.  Maybe just a decant for now?
Lesbian Maidservants Cavorting with a Tortoiseshell Dildo Perfume Oil   Polished amber and honeyed teak draped in red silk brocade and soft mosses. Not calling to me at the moment 
Lingering Plum Scent in the Sleeping Chamber Perfume Oil     Ume blossom and ripe black plums, clove incense, mogra, and a gentle mist of lavender and white honey. I was somewhat interested until we got to white honey, not for me.
Lu Zhishen Pulls the Weeping Willow Upside Down Perfume Oil     Willow boughs tangled with strawflower, patchouli root, cypress, clary sage, vetiver, ho wood, and golden musk. Undecided, pass for now.
Michiyuki Koi No Futozao Perfume Oil    Brandy-soaked pears, plum incense, and honeyed amber. Pass, not my thing.  But I wish for a plum incense single note!
Onnagata Making Love at a Tea House as Mane’emon Watches While Holding a Kite Perfume Oil     Orange blossom caramel, yellow tobacco flower, and sugared patchouli. Hmmm....I'm wary of the caramel, but otherwise really interested I think.  Decant probably.
Playful Abalone Divers Perfume Oil  Lotus petals, jasmine sambac, orris root, coconut, clove, and honey. Probably pass, mostly because of honey.
Plume of Incense Perfume Oil     Tendrils of sandalwood, agarwood, and cypress incense, moss silk, calla lilies, and yellow amber. There was a time I would have jumped on this but now I feel like I have lots of incense scents already.  Might possibly want a decant but maybe pass?
Radiant Entanglement Perfume Oil     Dragonfruit, honeyed hibiscus, fuchsia orchid, and white tea. I'm just not sure, but it has potential.  Possible decant.  It sure sounds pretty and joyful..something I need right now!
Rapturous Spouses and Curious Cat Perfume Oil     Lemon blossom, neroli, white honey, Himalayan cedar, ylang ylang, white frankincense, and a fuzzy purr of musky amber. Probably pass because of white honey.
Scarlet Blossoms Perfume Oil    Beeswax, white tea, amber-warmed skin musk, cherry juice, wild plum, and a cascade of cherry and plum blossoms dipped in silky red musk. Several notes here can go wrong.  Safe pass for me.
The First Tea Ceremony of the Year Perfume Oil    Matcha tea and nerikiri. I think I just am not crazy about matcha in my perfume.  I already have the matcha cheesecake Beaver Moon and that is enough for me.
The Fox Spirit’s Jest Perfume Oil    Russet musk, red silk, rose chypre, wildflower honey, and patchouli root. Definitely a safe pass for me, too much red and I don't like honey notes for the most part.   Shunga HG 2025
Annual Events of the Vagina Hair Gloss         Pine needle, crushed grass, jasmine absolute, and juniper.
Chart of the Muscles of the Hand Hair Gloss     Toasted almond cream, white musk, and hazelnut sandalwood.
Diver Combing her Hair Hair Gloss     Salt-dusted lilac and lavender petals splashed by sea water.
Glowing Vulva at Ryogoku Bridge Hair Gloss   Cream accord, amber, teak, and lotus blossom.
The Harbor of Love on the Island of Women Hair Gloss     White tea, cherry rose petals, marshmallow, frothed cream, and amber.   Diver Combing is the only one I'm mildly interested in but I don't need any more Hair gloss.
