Little Bird

Misty, clean white pine with bright, herbal sage (I actually keep thinking it's chamomile) and a dry, earthy sort of oakmoss. I like my pine scents to be warmer and sweeter, as in Golden Priapus.

Slushy, slightly sweet, slightly soapy snow note with some warm, powdery amber in the drydown. I don't get rose or anything pink smelling from this blend.

This reminds me of bptp's Muilearteach blend (blood red, bone white, and pitch black musks coated in hoarfrost). Red musk with minty, clean snow note and a thick, dark sweetness from the opoponax. Dark and sweetly musky, but also with a clean, cold edge to it.

I cannot deal with the champagne note. It's fizzy, sickly-sweet and makes me think of throwing up alcohol (it smells weirdly sour and 'pukey' on my skin). I get a strong champagne and then the dry, clean, slightly powdery vanilla musk of the Lace blends.

I really like this. It reminds me of damp, black dirt and blood musk (which is always kind of a metallic smelling red musk with a cinnamon spiced edge to my nose). The drydown is much the same, but with a soft, smooth, slightly smoky incense note creeping in.

Very sweet, juicy peach with a tropical edge from the papaya. Smells like something that would attract hummingbirds . I love the opening, especially, but it loses its juiciness after about a half hour and is more like a peach gummi candy with a dry, warm, musky undertone. Still, I like the sweetness of this.

Yellowy, heady, slightly sour jasmine made sharp by the poppy and musk, with a bit of powdery sandalwood and a hint of earthy patchouli.

Soapy lavender and baby powdery amber. Dries down to all powder on my skin.

Tart red currant, sour lemon, creamy orange blossom, and a drydown with a lot of sharp, musky white floral (the poppy and golden musk).

The lab's snow note usually doesn't turn soapy on me, but this is a soapy, sharp aquatic scent on me. I can't pick out the fruit, resins or lavender.

Sharp, citrusy white tea with cold menthol/eucalyptus and a powdery amber and white musk drydown.

Clean, sharp, perfumey white musk with sharp grapefruit and soapy rose.

A sharp, soapy citrus that smells like some sort of chemical floor cleaner.

Lemony bergamot and elemi with sharp mint and a drydown with a sharp, bitter clove. This smells strangely medicinal and harsh on my skin. Like some sort of natural ointment for sore muscles...

Golden, powdery amber with dried herbs and dry spiciness. Chamomile always smells like sharp, dry, golden herbs to me, and I'm getting a good dose of that here, along with a dry carnation spiciness.

Glad that I was able to get a decant of this, because powdered sugar and cotton candy sounded good to me, but I tend to not like really syrupy, artificial, fruit candy scents, fizzy scents, or chewing gum, so the reviews had me nervous. On me, this starts off as cloying strawberry flavored gum, sticky fruit punch, and powdery sweet tarts candies with a hint of fizzy gingerale. Dries down to a powdery fruit candy (the sweet tarts impression is accurate for me) and fades really quickly around the one hour mark. I wanted it to be more juicy smelling and more of the cotton candy/powdered sugar aspect that others had mentioned, but it doesn't really work on me.

Baby powdery white sandalwood and a perfumey, dry, musky smelling rose. Very light and only lasted about two hours on me. So much powder. I don't get the myrrh at all.

All three of the Bloodmilk Exclusives are lighter and more dry and woody smelling than I was hoping for. I agree with Dark Alice in that this has a pencil shavings scent to it. Pencil shavings and a whiff of sharp incense smoke.

Soft, brown, well worn, suede-like leather with a sharp cinnamon undertone. To me, this is like the opposite of Spanked. Where Spanked was sharp, new, black whip leather and soft spices, this is soft leather and sharp spices. I love the lab's leather blends, and I'm liking this one too.

Opium and white musk are sharp, white and screechy on my skin, mixed with slightly soapy orange blossom and citrusy, clean tea scents. Very clean and sharp.

Intensely spicy pumpkin with a little bit of baby powdery sandalwood in the drydown. Mostly just spices on my skin. I'm sad that I can't smell the tobacco, as I like pumpkin blends with a dose of earthiness to them.

Fans of fruity candy scents should like this one. It's too fruity and sweet for me, with that distinctly artificial grape and cherry flavoring, but it's still a fun fragrance. I don't get any licorice or vanilla cupcake, and I kind of feel like I'd enjoy this more if it had lime (like LUSH's Calavera!) or some citrus in it to perk up the grape and cherry syrup, which feel heavy and flat to me on their own. Glossy, sticky-sweet, grape and cherry ringpops. I started using my decant to mix into other fragrances and it actually is a really fun layering scent.

The smoky patchouli and tobacco wind up smelling like stale cigarette smoke to me, with an ambery, cologne-like feel from the ambergris. I don't get any vanilla or sweetness, which makes this unpleasant to me. Also, Black Silk is a very light fragrance with not much throw or staying power on me, in spite of its heavy note list.

On me, this is baby powdery amber and pencil shavings wood notes with a hint of sweet incense. Not my favorite woody resin (I like the GC blend Cathedral a lot more, even).

Lots of champagne (which is fizzy and sickly-sweet on my skin) with an undertone of sharp rose soap and musky-amber from the ambergris. I don't like the lab's champagne note, and it's too strong in this for me, and it smells even more off to me with the soapy floral.
