TOMBSTONE

Wet: dry woods, leather(?), just a hint of sassafras

Drydown: sweet, dry woods. the sassafras isn't really detectable as a single note, but along with the vanilla (almost gooey-seedpod-like) adds a lift to the cedar note, which on its own is usually darker & drier. I really like this a lot. It also reminds me a bit of Chokmah.

 

BESS

already reviewed; have 5mL; grapey-lemon herbal concoction

 

LIGHTNING

wet: ozone aquatic, with a slight floral undertone

Dry: oddly enough, this is a bit better than I remember. It isn't quite as sharp, and there's a bit of a floral/clean aroma from it. A bit like hyper-clean laundry. I don't think this is something I'd wear on my skin, but I think it might make a nice room or linen spray!

 

EPHEMERA

wet: heavily sweet florals, slight fruit note?

Dry: the florals aren't as cloying as I thought they'd be. It's soft & light; quite pretty. Even as much as I love violet, they aren't detectable enough on their own for me. If you're into soft florals, you'd probably like this. As it stands, this is really not my style.

 

ROSE CROSS

wet: rose, obviously. there's a bit of a playdoh-ish note in the background

Drydown: I really wish I knew what specific type of rose this is, because I think this is a similar one that I've tried in a few other perfumes. I really don't like it. It's super cloying, waxy, sour, and plastic smelling, and I usually love roses. I think it reminds me of Netzach or Hymn, both of which really have started turning me off of floral blends. Not me in the least.

 

HAMADRYAD

already reviewed; minty floral; on wishlist

 

DOVE'S HEART

wet: odd florals, almost plastic smelling, possibly rose

dry: this is an odd blend; it smells almost like artificial rose potpourri room spray. Not something I'd personally ever wear as a perfume, though I may invest in some at some point for the magical purposes.

 

JACK

already reviewed; own 5mL; buttery pumpkin

 

 

The only one I liked but didn't already review or own was TOMBSTONE. the rest were kind of gross on me. Ew.
