    Boney Moon: Spiced Chestnut and Honey

    Bottle sniff and skin test: straight up powdered Tang in the container! Think orange gritty powder. I know some of you remember it from the 90s!

    Banana Gingerbread

    Banana Gingerbread smells good in the bottle and amazing first applied! Wondering if I should wear it in a scent locket because that fresh applied scent is truly divine. But like others have said, after a matter of minutes the banana fades and it becomes mostly gingerbread.

    La Dame Aux Pamplemousses

    In the bottle it smells like a very sweet and slightly tart grapefruit (not sour thankfully!). On skin it’s half marshmallow half grapefruit for ten or fifteen minutes. Then the grapefruit disappeared and it was a gorgeous, delicious, Marshmallow Single Note for HOURS! I immediate bought a couple fullsize bottles. Fraggle Rock Gobo’s citrus medley didn’t work for me, but the grapefruit in Pamplemousses does. Stekkjarstaur was not marshamllowy enough for me - and I agree with the comment above that Pamplemousses blows Stekk out of the water!

    Beaver Moon: Blackberry and Tobacco Absolute

    I’m legit buying five more bottles at least. Blackberry & Tobacco Absolute is a beautiful and rich scent. The blackberries are so juicy and the tobacco is playing co-star perfectly in the background giving this scent DEPTH. It smells like the most expensive blackberry jam ever. There’s warmth and maybe slight caramel or sweetness with the pipe tobacco. And it’s got amazing sillage - this is not a quiet scent! It’s been wafting for hoursss. An absolute stunner!

    The Acrobats

    Bright fruity scent that’s a bit murky (something in the depths). No citrus notes listed but citrus-lovers might still enjoy as the color feels deep orange or red. Gustavo Doré painted The Acrobat in two versions. France has the brighter version where this perfume label comes from, but I’ve seen the darker version in a museum in the US. I spent a lot of time standing in front of it studying it. It’s very unsettling. I think Bpal did a good job making something beautiful with a hint of despair whispering in the background.

    Jolly

    I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s getting a banana note from this! I know it’s not listed, but on skin it smells like mashed bananas with a little bit of sweetness added.

    Vintage Pumpkin Blow Mold

    Orange & Creme flavored “Creme Savers” hard candy. There is a soft musk to this, almost vanilla musk! Glad to not be getting the plastic note a few of the other Blow Mold scents have. Likely will upgrade to a bottle but won’t need a backup.

    Sweet Tooth

    Sweet Tooth smells like 2005’s Trick or Treat, only darker like with a heavy caramel! Trick or Treat is basically a Candy Corn Single Note - while Sweet Tooth is Candy Corn + Caramel. At some point I’d like to do a side by side comparison with them, but I’ll probably end up keeping both since I’m a bit of a candy girl.

    The Treat Keeper

    The Treat Keeper: Bottle Sniff is nothing special. First applied, it starts off a bit sugary with slightly sour apples. Then the magic happens! Maybe ten minutes later it smells like apple-flavored hard candy (think Jolly Ranchers). At this point the sourness has faded and is only in the background to add some complexity. Overall this is a really good apple candy scent! I’ll be keeping the decant and possibly will upgrade to a full bottle. Edit: On drydown it loses its candy/sugary scent and is sour mashed apples. Will retest another day!

    By Day She Made Herself into a Cat

    Dark musk with a hint of sweetness! I love this more than I thought I would. I have two bottles but will likely get at least one more before the collection comes down. Two friends have tried mine and bought their own! Beautiful!

    Raminou

    On my skin Raminou smells like red musk and sweet tea. I know tea is not listed in the notes, but this is what it reminds me of. The last cup of sweet black tea from the pitcher, plus red musk. I will be keeping my bottle.

    Eden

    Eden is a mix between foody and floral on my skin. It starts of sweet but morphs to remind me of tropical flowers.

    Hellcat

    In the imp it smells buttery and dessert-like. First applied, it is a clean scent like linden blossom/dryer sheets though with a kick, because something reminds me of cinnamon and musk.

    Velvet

    Velvet starts off chocolatey and after about five minutes a vanilla woodsy scent comes out. It's kind of sweet and delicate but also has a powerful edge. Curious if it would be a good out-on-town scent.

    The Dormouse

    The Dormouse reminds me of linden blossom/dryer sheets. If you're a fan of clean laundry scents, it could be worth trying.
