2025: Pink fruity roses against a backdrop of chamomile, the lab’s marigold and a few dead but not yet dry leaves. But mostly roses. The roses keep the bitter elements in line. I agree with the Harvest Moon 13 comparison. This is comforting.

2025 Version This is a simple, subtle and very lovely golden floral. It's warm, with a slight pepperyness to it, with a sweetness in the drydown that feels like it could be a light vanilla or amber. Not much throw to it after the first few minutes, so a nice safe everyday scent, though not as long lasting as some other floral blends.

Lightning Moon: Ylang Ylang and White Apple Lotion
Janis replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lotion
Pure appley goodness. I don't get any ylang-ylang either (which is a good thing as I dislike that note when it's present.) Pairs wonderfully with Apple Vulva hair gloss - it's the exact same soft, fresh apple. As far as the formula goes, it's satisfyingly thick without being greasy or non absorbent. This is really more of a body butter than a lotion. Comparable to Wylde Ivy body butter but one step thicker? I prefer this formula! This will be my first lotion upsize and I think I'll also be decanting it into smaller pots for easier dispensing/portion control. -
Oof yeah this is the stuff. This is more or less the same as the perfume oil, sweet cinnamon apple gooey yumminess! Caramel can go plasticky on me but here it works. Same with sugar notes, but brown sugar doesn't and goes more like the molassas note, which I'm appreciative of as many of the cookie/sugar blends just go a little plasticky, too. Here, it works. There is a pumpkin apple cinnamon candle vibe but honestly, candles have come a long way over the years, and many translate well on the skin or hair, so whatevs. It is like what your hair would smell like if you had an apple candle going. I think the perfume oil goes a bit more cookie, this goes a tad more apple. This is so yummy and sexy. I think a decant is enough given how often I reach for hair gloss, but like dear Eve I am tempted, annnnnd now have God Dethroned stuck in my head til further notice. Eve take a bite (fear not) Eve you're a god (the poison apple) Eve you're divine (you're a god) You won't fall from grace (the poison apple) Forbidden fruit (oh eve) it's so good for you (the poison apple) ❤

Thanks all, this was very helpful! I picked up Lorrainna and The Lilac Wood as a contrasted pair. (I think while she doesn't usually like woody, it seems like lots of people that grew up with lilacs like Lilac Wood as a nostalgia scent, thats what im hoping it'll be for her). (Also The Choirs of Angels for meee 😉, which sounds like an amazing frankincense blend)

SmellsPrettyGood2Me and I are of like-mind on the whole hoping the dead leaf note won't slide into our DMs like it does, but yep, that's exactly what it done did. This is heavy dead leaves, and darkness and decay, with dark sinister spices and none more black leather. The drydown is mostly a dark vetiver. Does it fit the vibe? I mean, yeah. There are others that make me feel more like I am in Sleepy Hollow, though. Oddly, I'm really enjoying the dead leaves opening more than the woodsy drydown? Can some esplaing? Is anomaly? I think it would layer well with Sidewalk Apples though, for a cemetery in Sleepy Hollow vibe, at least in the decants, although I don't think the drydowns would flesh out that way. I think a decant is enough for me, but we'll see. Honestly I'm just pining for Katrina and the rest of the Sleepy Hollow line to come back and filling in the time til it does. If we all together think it will come back, will it come to pass? Like the Order of The Dragons, I summon thee to return! Lol.

I agree this is very Evening With The Spirits in atmosphere. I get a pale ghost of florals like if a spirit was trapped in a powder puff. A friend and I came up with a bunch of silly spoopy song names for this project that never came to be like Elegant in Darkness and Mournique, and this kinda reminds me of both. It's all funerals, and ghosts, and old houses. It's a little too powdery at first, but that drydown I can get down with. Floral and pretty and soft.

Okay, you know when pumpkin smells kind of fruity, almost like orange or mango but you can't really place what fruit it is other than pumpkin fruit? That's what I get here, plus sweet 'n buttery popcorn, and a dash of spice. Similar to Mouse Circus, a tad less sweet but more pumpkin spice type sweet. I like it! It's fun and playful. This is the Harvest Haunt's gf, like, Haunt's trying to be all dark and broody and stuff, and Pumpkin Popcorn is making funny faces in the photos and is more Devil-may-care in life, and he lowkey misses her charm when she's not around. It's very Carnival Diabolique in Autumn.

I didn't expect to like this one as much as I do! It's heavy on the dead leaves as first, with petrichorish sidewalk and some apple. However, this take a turn for the better, smelling more and more like a cemetery in autumn with apples on the ground. At first, it's very much like the scents October and November, but less cold, and also reminds me of the blend St Louis Cemetery. The sidewalk note really does bring to mind the old cemeteries we have here on the East Coast. Although there is a petrichor vibe, this is quite a dry blend overall. I think if you like many of the 'PAL's or other indie cemetery blends, you'll like this one. Layered with a dark rainy blend like leather + rain, you'd have an atmosphere like The Crow with blustering leaves, sorrow, and vengeance on the wind. I'm considering a bottle, yet this is much more of a room scent for me.

Hungry Ghost Moon: Hazelnut Spread and Mini Marshmallows
Pris replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This is all woody hazelnut and sweet vanilla. Smells good on everyone we've tried it on. Long lasting. Glad to have a full bottle of this one! -
Black in color. Rich, molasses, pumpkin flesh. Super sweet. Nice in a small dose. Cinnamon and brown sugar fade to a faint creaminess.
-
2025 version On me this is sweet, spicy pumpkin flesh. Nice! It's got a little nostalgic tanning oil vibe, but lighter and nicer than Pumpkin Tanning Oil.
-
On me, when it first goes on I get a hint of something little lemony, but that fades fast. It becomes smooth. A touch of leather, a little vanilla, with another note that's both odd and familiar but I can't place it. Unlike any perfume I've tried before! I might not wear it often but it's a pleasant, unusual, scent.
-
2025 version Wet: goes on buttery pumpkin flesh. Nice at first but on me the sweet vanilla takes over and is louder than I like. Definitely will try it again after it's aged a while.
-
Definitely a cologne-y brimstone, with a lurking ink note and unsettling musk. By itself it absolutely feels like Satan at the upscale gay bar in an seemingly elegant, but clearly off the rack suit. The brilliance of the perfume though, truly shines when you layer it with the GC Faustus. There, in combination with the cinnamon/frankincense and violet, you get the whole drama of redemption and temptation, with Faust/Mephistopheles playing out all 12,000 words of their love across your forearms Highly recommended
-
This smells like an incredibly elegant fall classic perfume - beautiful, not naturalistic, with muted leaf tones and sharp and sparkling skin musk Just lovely
-
This is absolutely delicious. It's warm and crisp, bread freshly baked out the oven with an almost caramelised but still subtle sweetness from the pumpkin spice. I can't really pick out anything that distinctly reads as zuccini, but the overall blend is deeper and not as sweet as I would expect from a pure pumpkin one. It doesn't morph much at all, and has a decent amount of throw and wear time. A very solid, very comforting scent to warm up the coming cold days.

frimp second hand from a destash so i don’t know how old it is unfortunately! but it arrived today. it’s surprisingly good! i didn’t know what to expect going into it as i don’t usually try these notes, but it’s a waxy vanilla candle and a hint of candle smoke. it’s not pungent like how real candle smoke is, rather it’s quite quiet and resides in the background letting the wax shine. there’s a bit of a sour note to it that fades in an out of the blend, although, i’m not entirely sure from what. i think that maybe after a week it’ll fade, so i’ll keep it and update my review then if it does change.

Black Butterfly Moon: Vanilla and Tobacco Flower
sudenmorsian replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I got a bit scared reading reviews above that there's dirt, mud or soil note that isn't listed, as I just can't cope with them. I got my decant few days ago and had to test this one immediately and yup, there's definitely that earthy, musty note. Lovely, sweetish vanilla with dry tobacco and dirt, and sadly the dirt is keeping this from being wearable. But behold! I paired this with Black Butterfly Moon that I wasn't too fond of and suddenly it all changed. Dark tenderness of the BBM blended so beautifully with Vanilla and Tobacco Flower that the dirt note was buried completely, and these two scents are definitely more than sum of its parts. The combination is rich, dark and seductive. -
This is beautiful dark but delicate floral perfume but not quite my thing. Violet rarely works on my skin but I do find it quite wearable in this one. I get mostly violet, tea roses and blackberry, not so much orchid, vanilla or black musk. Later I tested this with BBM duet Vanilla and Tobacco Flower when neither of them worked on me on their own, and it felt like pure magic: the combination was so much more than sum of its parts! The extra vanilla from the duet as well as kinda musty tobacco was just the right thing I needed with the BBM to tame its edges.
-
This is very orris and softly vanilla on me, with just the faintest trace of musk. It reads to me as a soft, refined perfume from my grandmother's generation. It blooms more vanilla with body heat but retains the dusting-powder vibe. It's an instant favorite for me!

2015: I could see this as an expensive candle or room scent with a name like “white pumpkin.” It reminds me of a really good pumpkin spice latte mix I got once, (though unlike the Pumpkin Spice Latte scent from years ago I tried, this is way lighter on cinnamon and nutmeg.) The sandalwood is keeping it balanced: a candle like this would probably go too far into vanilla cream sugar territory, but the foody sweetness is held back here. It is in fact basic, but like vanilla it seems to be something that would blend into all situations and be popular for good reason.
-
A little bit like chrysanthemum, or as Assymbia said marigolds without stems. I could also see chamomile, honeysuckle and some pale amber for a sweet background element that’s like hand lotion. This is a wan sunshine yellow. It does feel like autumn to me, though I’m used to warm autumns.
-
Beeswax, but also tobacco comes out because of skin heat. It’s a fruity tobacco with ash and there’s the sense of a big leather chair and a macadamia biscotti. Cozy, but I don’t know if I need a full bottle. As an atmosphere spray I’d definitely be interested though

Chilled milk, a soft peppermint, a bright green candy. The peppermint is most apparent for first 20 minutes of wear, and more noticeable at arm's length than when I huff my wrist directly, where the lactonic, distinctly dairy milk note exists side by side with a sugar-glazed, tart and vibrant green apple, rendered a bit more abstract by the zippy green currant. The long drydown loses the mint and smells more like... what if instead of chocolate milk or strawberry milk, you created green apple milk. A foamy green milk drink for someone who just can't vibe with a matcha latte. 😹 Or, I'm imagining eating apple flavored fun-dip candy and making the inexplicable choice to chase it with a glass of milk. Simple, odd, oddly charming.
