This is a wonderful clean floral, and the opium adds a touch of metal, mystery, and staying power. This was my favorite of the Our Lady of Pain line.

The patchouli and caramel compliment each other so well. Soft and comfortable without being pretentious. This one is my favorite. 5/5.

This is toothy sweet strawberry Ensure and I am here for it! Maybe not an everyday scent as it's so sweet you have to be in the mood. Layers well with Wild Strawberries and Patchouli.

Pink Moon: Wild Strawberries and Patchouli
topazphoenix replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This is really unique and compelling. The patchouli and strawberry combine seamlessly and are somehow better together. This also plays well with Pink Moon. -
Pink Moon: Marshmallow and Candyfloss Hair Gloss
topazphoenix replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Hair
The lab's marshmallow note is subtle and floofy and warm, and the candyfloss adds a little extra sweetness. Simple, but cozy and endlessly layerable. -
I love this, but I have to be in the mood for patchouli and the amber takes a couple minutes to warm up in my hair.

Strawberry Moon 2024: Wild Strawberries and Amber Hair Gloss
topazphoenix replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Hair
I really love this one. It's the same fresh realistic strawberry of the older Strawberry Moons, with some powder and warmth from the amber. It's an amazing duo, and my one of my favorites from the recent batches of hair gloss. 5/5 -
I couldn't resist this one. It's very pure sweet chocolate. It layers so beautifully with so many options. I like to layer this with Cacao and Scorched Milk.

This is the Bourbon Vanilla from Hope and Fear, Set Free ? I went through two bottles of that. Very happy with how versatile this is.
-
In my hair this is a lovely sweet apple with honey. It pairs well with my lighter scents.
-
To me this orange blossom is the same one in Paramatman. Simple and clean floral. Very pretty.

A beautiful herbaceous lavender that dries down to a mild clary sage. Like someone else said this belongs in the Somnium line.
-
Like the previous poster, I love this and I don't love TKO. This is much gentler but it's still a beautiful marshmallow vanilla lavender. I love this lavender ?

This was a surprise holy grail scent for me. This is the goat's milk I wanted but didn't get from Ghost Milk. I love love love goat's milk and this one dries down amazingly with the clove adding a little smoky depth. The goat's milk reminds me a little of my beloved long gone Nonae Caprotina. I've already burned through a quarter of my bottle, so I stocked up because I can't be without this. Major love.

I love this pumpkin, it's home-y and warm. It doesn't veer into pie territory but does has some caramel-y notes. It's more approachable than some of my other atmos. I'm contemplating a backup, it's just so cozy.
-
This is like a Goth Jack. In the bottle and straight up on the skin it's that buttery pumpkin note but with something deeper lurking beneath. The drydown has hints of pumpkin and lots of dark incense which isn't caramel-y. This never smells like pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice. It has a touch of popcorn. A spooky and quirky carnival pumpkin that ends up being mostly dark incense.
-
To my nose there's no smoke or spice in this. It's simple, pure, uncooked pumpkin flesh and sweet, warm buttercream. There's nothing discordant or sharp about it, it's very soft and comforting.
-
Out of all the Lupers, the simplicity and elegance of this blend called to me. Wet, I can smell the currant. Dry, the white tea note is the most prominent. I can't pick out the almond blossom or rice milk, they are in the background and make the scent milky in a way that's similar to White Rabbit. All in all a lovely spring scent.

PUMPKIN II Pumpkin, rosewood, red sandalwood, and tea rose. This is a very elegant, Victorian pumpkin. The tea rose balances the inherent pumpkin buttery-ness, and the rosewood and sandalwood give it a refreshing, slightly dry coolness.
-
I was wearing this last night. I think others have adequately described the intricacies of the notes..to me it evokes a high, cold, and soft old love. There's something antique and sad about it. I'm quite pleased but it does have a specific vibe and isn't something I would reach for every day.
-
edit: I've figured out what this reminds me of. Its similar to this Old Spice cologne my Dad used to wear. It's got similar salty notes, I think Thomas is a bit sweeter and warmer and lacks the alcohol-edge, but it makes me reminisce..
-
Black Moths must make me admit that I haven't found a plum/vetiver combo that I enjoy on my skin (also, tobacco). I had a Our Lady Of Pain atmo at once point and this also calls to make mind the Tumultuous Virtues of Stern Passion. The plum/vetiver/tobacco combo just kind of sits on top of my skin, alas.
-
I can only echo the others mention of Warm Brown Sugar, which I happened to be obsessed with at one point. I love Edith and would describe her as sweet, buttery, and positively angelic. I woukd love to stock up on this scent, however due to the price point and the fact that its very very light and my skin gobbles it up.

Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller (2015)
topazphoenix replied to Ina Garten Davita's topic in Carnaval Diabolique
I think I had a bottle of the previous Mme. at one point but it has been so long I really don't remember how it smelled. This new version however is amazing. Smooth and beautiful red musk, fruits, vanilla, and patchouli - womanly and warm. The funny thing is, I think this would pair beautiful with Dorian - I *need* to get a bottle or some hair gloss, I think it would be an amazing combo.
