I’m getting a strong coconut note with an equal helping of hazelnut. I’m not picking up any lavender. This is a rich, creamy, coconutty blend that’s super nice, just not a sleep blend I expected. But a nice surprise.
-
A light honey/buttercream perfume. Very pretty, reminds me of classic buttery cream blends like Chaste Moon. Not getting any chai really. There are definitely spicier blends out there. Maybe a hint of marshmallow but not giving “scorched” or “on a stick”. This perfume isn’t very strong on me. I might layer it. The chai does appear eventually but it’s very faint.
-
Sweet ripe strawberries and blueberries, with TONS of honey and cream. This is made even fruitier by the Kool-Aid-like lotus root. I’m not getting any lavender, maybe the slightest hint of ylang-ylang spice. It’s just VERY sweet. I don’t know, is it too much? More research is needed.
-
Sweet creamy floral bouquet. Nothing really stands out among the floral notes. It’s bright, dreamy, pretty. Makes me think of a spring day, pastel dresses, a garden party, and yes, dancing fairies.
-
Sour milk, oh nooo. It’s the lab’s slushy-sweet snow note, with hints of sharp pine and also a “lemon cleaner” note that’s pungent. I don’t do great with lemon so this is off to swaps.
-
Mmmm, vanilla marshmallows! The lab has been doing a lot with marshmallows and I’m here for it. Fluffy vanilla clouds with a fine dusting of powdered sugar. Now, the benzoin is present but it’s such a sweet powdery note that it blends in seamlessly and adds just the right touch of “something else” that you can’t put your finger on. This is amazing.
-
A mix of sweet lavender, spicy jasmine, and earthy cacao. These three notes together…I dig it! I’m not getting any plum. It kinda reminds me of the Come and See blends because they’re all earthy/lavendery. An abstract blend, not anything that really reminds me of middle school. I like it but don’t love it. Also is there weed in this or is it just the cacao? Hmm.
-
The description “sweaty pear” made me lol but it’s kinda accurate! This is like a warm baked pear drizzled in honey. There’s a slightly sour note, too. IS IT sweat? Who can say? And I’m so glad I googled castoreum to find out it’s beaver pheromones. Maybe that’s the sourness! I’m not getting ANY leather or tonka. Maybe a tiny shred of coconut. It’s a very foodie blend. An elven treat. I think it’s going in the swap pile.

Skin musk = absorbs into my skin like a second skin, stays very close. Love the honey dust. It’s just what it says, a very light dusting of sweet golden honey with a slight butteriness. I don’t think I need a bottle since I prefer it to amp more, but it’s incredibly pretty.
-
Simple, elegant, beautiful. Sandalwood and vanilla. A coworker said it made her want to do yoga lol. It does have a very calm, serene, content vibe. Will need a bottle, it’s just one of those perfect scents.
-
Black pepper and oud, what a clever combination. It’s like a cloud of powdery honey-vanilla sweetness with just a hint of peppery spice. I’m gonna try layering it, maybe with coconut? It’s quite nice on its own as well, though!
-
What a cute lemon scent. Like a fuzzy baby bunny bringing you lemon cookies. Not really penis-y at all.
-
Just beautiful. A sweet, cozy patchouli blend. The patchouli has like a cola vibe and the amber is so glowing and warming. The vanilla is very present and very sweet on my skin. Going to need a bottle, it’s like a second skin, love it.
-
Eyy it’s a spicy one! This is like cinnamon buns with cardamom instead of cinnamon, which I’ve never actually heard of but I bet they would be delicious. So yeah, tons of fragrant cardamon, with sweet sugary vanilla frosting. No bourbon at all, which is great since I don’t wear boozy scents to work anyhow. I never knew I wanted a sweet creamy cardamom blend but here it is and I adore it!
-
A “sunny” blend, with strong notes of musk, cedar, and lemon, all draped in sweet amber. And it does remind me of sunflowers. I think this will be my Summer 2022 scent!
-
Peachy goodness! With a little bit of blood orange in the background. I’m not even noticing the sandalwood or labdanum. It’s just a juicy little fruit salad on my arm. The peach note is so realistic, like, fresh off the tree ripe peach.
-
When I first put it on this seems like a ylang ylang single note. Ylang ylang is sweet on my skin but it can also be kind of, I don’t know, astringent? Sharp? Like acetone. It’s always hit or miss for me. When it’s a hit I love it, but here I was hoping the honey would mellow it out and it’s not. Will probably swap this one.
-
Oh WOW. Vanilla cream, boom. Then the lotus and rose, OMG I love florals with cream and vanilla alwaysssss. Lotus is so fruity and happy. This is a cheerfully victorious scent, like a vulva shouting “WOOHOO!” I definitely need a bottle.
-
On first sniff I get rose and oud, and then the patchouli immediately bursts forth as well. I love how the oud sweetens and amplifies the patchouli! I’m not picking out any jasmine, chamomile or sea salt. Rose and patchouli suits me just fine. This is a beautiful, feminine floral blend, great for any occasion.
-
As Little Bird said, it smells like sweet Hawaiian rolls! It’s not really giving salty or crusty like a baguette – this is like pillow-soft tear-apart bread with plenty of cream. It will be nice for laying, I”m thinking with chocolate scents especially.
-
Sweet cornbread, a touch of nutmeg. I’m not noticing the clove. It reminds me of Sweet Lavinia’s Risalamande, a favorite comfort scent of mine. The risalamande is sweet, creamy rice with nutmeg and this is sweet, rich cornbread with nutmeg. I love it! Very cozy and homey.

Warm, sweet butterscotch – sugary, like actual hard candy? Hard to describe. There’s also a boozy note – rum? Reminds me of Grog. There’s also a ton of what I believe is spicy cinnamon, although others said ginger. It reminds me of a pumpkin spice scent without the pumpkin. I’ll keep it for autumn.

In spite of the floral notes being listed first, they’re pretty faint on my skin. I’m getting the sweet warm amber and sandalwood. It’s very girly, classic, and pretty. I am just surprised I’m not getting any rose or lavender!

Sweet cream, and the lab’s lovely soothing oat note, with hints of almond and fig. I just love their oat blends! Like Gunpowder or Sweet Lavinia’s Risalamande (well that’s rice but it’s similar – creamy, comforting grains). The creamy cereal blends are so dear to my heart! Definitely need to stock up on this!
