Heart-Shaped Beanie on the Metro
tinyvulture replied to TheIceMaiden's topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
Sugared red rose and orange blossom. The red rose is a bit stronger than the orange blossom. This is a medium-throw scent, sweet but not cloying. I love all sugared florals! -
There is a Burke & Hare candle I love, Eros, with notes of chocolate and clove. This is like Eros but with the addition of fresh, ripe strawberry! I’d love to get a bottle. It’s so fun and sexy. Is there labdanum? Maybe, but all I get is chocolate, clove and strawberry. ( Not really in the sense of ice cream flavors but actual chocolate and strawberries). So good!

Very herbal to start with. The mugwort is strong. Then there’s light white tea and neroli. It’s very crisp, clean, grassy. Like a garden tea party, among citrus trees and herb plants. Different than what I usually go for, but nice!
-
Soft May the Worms About Her Creep - A lovely creamy floral. Gentle star jasmine, powdery and honey-sweet, blends with soft white coconut and pale pink strawberry cream. Really understated. Makes you feel like the most relaxed, happy version of yourself on a tropical vacation. I am not getting any oud at all!

Imperious Three-Headed Dragon in a Jaunty Blue Coat
tinyvulture replied to zankoku_zen's topic in Event Exclusive Oils
Imperious Three-Headed Dragon - A sweet, fruity scent packed with ripe blackberries and blueberries. I’m not getting licorice root or jasmine. Instead, this is a straightforward berry blend. The berries are warmed by the present of black amber and musk. Later the jasmine does appear, and it’s a welcome addition, adding complexity. The licorice never shows up. Still, I like this blend quite a lot. -
This is kind of like pumpkin French toast. I’m definitely getting maple syrup! This has a crazy amount of throw. Tons of cinnamon sugar, and sweet fried dough. Not a lot of pumpkin to be honest, but it’s there. Foodie fiends, get you some!

Hungry Ghost Moon: Oven-Warm Pizza Crust and Oregano
tinyvulture replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Pizza crust! It’s like you can even smell the fermentation in the dough. Flecks of oregano worked into the crust. A touch of salt. A couple of nice charred areas. Now I want some breadsticks! -
Chocolate powder mixed with cream, like a powdered hot cocoa vibe. But also creamy basmati rice! Not really getting coconut or spices. Hot cocoa and basmati rice are amazing together. Definitely want a bottle. So comforting.
-
Simple and lovely! Rich fossilized amber sprinkled with sugar. Sweet and warm. This one works very well with my skin chemistry.
-
Winter Wakeneth Al My Care - Strong patchouli and frankincense! Mild champaca. Not picking up any vanilla or amber. So this is quite a strong, energizing scent. Not shrinking from anything. Sharp, earthy, spicy, masculine. I enjoy it but don’t need a bottle.
-
Old-fashioned, ladylike, clean blend. The dusting powder is strong, along with the rosewater and sharp gardenia. I would like a soap of this scent.
-
Strong gin and lime. Not for me.
-
A lovely goth blend of rose and clove. After a few minutes I also notice the honeyed saffron. Not much from the sandalwood, tea, or frankincense. But wow! Exotic, feminine, I just love clove blends. Need a bottle!
-
As the description says, this is a floral blend that feels glassy and metallic. It has aspects of ozone and cologne. Cool and clean. Not sure what the floral notes are. It’s very interesting, how the lab achieves metal flowers. The scent is pleasant, but not quite “me.”
-
At first - yum, caramelized bananas! After a minute - now the lush oleander is present, and still the burnt, sugared bananas. Nice combination. I’m waiting on the incense and Dorian. 10 minutes later - nope! Still just bananas and oleander. But I like it.
-
This has aged well. It’s a gentle honeyed milk, with subtle floral background notes (gardenia, orris). Creamy, sweet, and clean. This is a happy, warm blend that a child could wear, or anyone who wants to feel happy and comforted.
-
Lovely blend of sweet orange and earthy notes (master root, High John the Conquerer). I’ve never heard of master root but apparently it is used to command authority, luck, protection. This blend has a grounding and centering effect, making me feel calm and ready to handle what comes my way. The only negative is that I don’t get any dragon’s blood. Still a pleasant and useful blend.
-
The description says sugared vanilla musk, candyfloss, ruby chocolate, and clove. It reminds me very much of my favorite candle, Burke & Hare’s Eros, which is chocolate and clove. Here I get, definitely not milk chocolate, I was going to say white chocolate, but yeah I guess it’s ruby chocolate, which is its own fruity unique thing. If you’ve tasted it you know. It’s heavy on the berries. Like it really felt like white chocolate and red wine to me, but after reading the description I see that it’s the ruby chocolate. It does have a winelike twang though! And then the gentle spice of the clove rounds it out. I’m really I happy I blind-swapped for this bottle! It suits me really well (even though I am not that nice, I don’t think.)
-
This scent is aged 10 years. Sadly, it’s pretty faded at this point. I get the dragon’s blood and honey. It’s weird because I just tested another aged decant where the red musk was PUNGENT, and here it’s totally absent (except for the red-orange color of the oil.) Like just gone. No leather, either. Just a very soft dragon’s blood and honey.
-
This is aged 8 years. The oil is BLACK. And it smells of pure red musk on me. Thick and animal, almost like civet! I’m not really getting any cherry. I like many red musk blends, but perhaps due to its age this is too concentrated and didn’t work for me.

Spicy, sweet coffee. The spices here are anise, cinnamon and clove. So it differs from Caffe Mille et une Nuits or Bearded Dragon, both of which are cardamom coffee blends. The coffee note itself is quite strong, then a touch of cinnamon and a lot of vanilla and sugar. The aguardiente is barely noticeable. This is a warm, close-to-the-skin type of perfume.
-
Very nice! Similar to Caffe Mille et une Nuits’ coffee and cardamom. But here we also have a strong dragon’s blood note, which I always love, and a sweet vanilla. I would love an iced coffee drink of this, in real life. Or a room scent! I just love coffee blends.
-
Strong champaca blossom with just a hint of soapy pine. It’s like a floral nag champa with a little bit of a pine twist. It’s very faded. Well, it is 7 years old.
-
Like a cream cheese danish! It’s a little plasticky but all cheesecake blends are like that on my skin. It’s got a really nice light lemon note. This cheesecake is light and airy, and not too sweet. Very nice.
