Little Bird

I wish that I were one of the people who got masculine/tobacco from this scent, because I love dark, earthy notes paired with sweetness. Unfortunately, though, I'm just getting all of the sweetness from En Garde. This actually smells a lot like Anne Beany to me (the Lilith blend with notes of rum, cheesecake, hardtack crust, rum ice cream and butterscotch topping). The rum note usually smells like a boozy butterscotch candy to me, and that's what I'm getting here, with an extra dose of creamy vanilla caramel. It's intensely sweet, but light and only lasts about two hours on my skin.

This is a fun scent and I wish that it were more readily available. It's pink, fluffy, almost fruity, sugary cotton candy goodness (very much like Velvet Unicorn) with a creamy undertone that, after reading the other reviews, is coming off as coconut cream. Pink, fluffy, fun and uplifting. I spritzed this on to a jacket and it was strong for about an hour and then just faded into a soft, light, nondescript (but still pleasant) sweetness. Lighter than most of the other atmosphere spray type products.

Red musk and smoke. I like the sweet, sultry, wine-like red musk, but the smokiness unfortunately is reminding me of stale cigarette smoke and dirty ash tray. I spritzed this on to a throw pillow and it smells like it's been around someone who has been smoking, lol. Unfortunately, I think that is a rather gross smell, so this isn't working for me.

Golden, smooth, sweet, slightly woody frankincense & myrrh combo with a hint of rich rose perfume. Light and slightly dusty in the drydown. I like this, but I have so many resin blends that are stronger and longer lasting.

Sugary lemon. More tart, fresh, juicy and sour than blends like Gobo, Snow Angel or Lemon Scented Sticky Bat (and I like all three of those more than this one). Less candy and more real lemons + sugar, if that makes sense. Light and pleasant, but Gobo is my lemon-love, and Yes only lasts about two hours tops on my skin.

Dry, dusty, funky patchouli (sort of sweaty armpit-esque) and sour, roasted coffee beans with sharp cognac and musk. I don't care for this one at all. Light and fades to a faint, powdery patchouli after about twenty minutes.

This is my favorite of the Snow Queen perfumes, but I really enjoy dirt scents. To me, this is soft, dry, dusty dirt with spicy, dry cedar chips and sweet, red, dried rose petals. Earthy, woodsy, dry rose. It's very gothic and haunting to me.

I love the lab's blue musk and still miss the Silence blend that featured blue musk so front and center (it's like an aquatic, slightly powdery musk and the smell of a perfectly still, clean, manmade pond and cold stones). This is blue musk, but I think the 'salt' note is adding a sharper quality to it that I'm not liking, and the labdanum and champa throw in a warm, powdery, headshoppy amber and nag champa incense feel that I don't love mixed with the cleaner aspects of the scent. I like some of the notes separately, but it doesn't work for me all mixed together.

A fresh, slightly green stem and sap smelling rose with a cool, slightly minty, slightly soapy snow undertone. I actually don't think that this smells like Snow White, but Snow White is very sweet, creamy, and vanilla-like on my skin. On me, this is a clean, fresh rose more than a sweet one. Dries down less green and more perfumey/musky leaning.

Sweet, honeyed honeysuckle with a perfumey, soapy, watery undertone from the asphodel and snow note. I don't smell any vetiver. Just a honeyed, spring-like floral with perfumey, soapy nuances.

I don't think that I'm enjoying the lab's oud notes. This is funky and bad on me, like Phoenix and Dragon, with a rotting mulch and cigarette ash thing, but also a chemical cleaner vibe. Harsh, jumbled and strange. After reading the other reviews, I can see how some people thought it was fecal. Oud is in everything now, but I don't like most companies use of and interpretation of it.

I don't get bread, pastry or cinnamon roll from this scent. It's intensely sugary, cloying, and spicy. It's sharp, STRONG cinnamon potpourri and something weird and sugary, like cola or Dr. Pepper (maybe some amaretto thing happening?). Smells really unpleasant and cheap to me. I think I'll be rehoming my bottle, or maybe I'll try it in an oil warmer.

I wish that I could get more of this. I find Eat Me HG to be really strong, like most of the hair glosses, and it smells (of course) like Eat Me. Thick, sticky, jam-like, dark berries and vanilla cake with a little sour red fruitiness from the red currant (that keeps the other notes from being intensely cloying). Really sweet, but it smells like a birthday party and I think that this is really fun and amazing I love Eat Me in spray form.

Overview: Hair gloss is a heavy, oily spray that quickly overwhelms my long, fine hair and makes it look and feel very greasy. I can't use this product anywhere but very sparingly on the ends of my hair, or else it makes my head look like an oil slick. I'm really careful with my hair and the products that I use on it. For a while, I was using this to fragrance the ends of my hair, but I find that it makes my hair fall out a lot, either from the high fragrance oil content, the heaviness of the oil itself, or something else. I wanted to love these and wanted them to work, because of the fragrances, but now I only use the hair gloss as a body mist on my arms and legs, not actually on my hair. Fragrance review: I smell the frankincense strongly at first (golden and smooth and slightly wooden, reminding me of Cathedral), but it quickly settles into all clove all the time. Spicy, dry and a bit sharp. Not my favorite clove fragrance, as I kind of want something to sweeten and soften it...

Fragrance review: This smells just like the yummy smelling perfume oil to me. It's like whipping up brown sugar, butter and cinnamon into a crumble topping and having a mug of rich hot chocolate next to that buttery cinnamon crumble. I really like the brown sugar in this, and the cinnamon isn't sharp at all. I still have to be careful with this, because cinnamon irritates my skin, but it's really delicious smelling

Fragrance review: Creamy, white floral gardenia scented soap. Very floral, heady, lush and clean. Too floral for my tastes.

Got a full size of this from the bptp etsy and wanted to edit my review, because I find that the full sizes tend to smell different from the decants I was getting (not sure if they weren't properly mixed or what). The decant smelled like faint blueberry pancake syrup and my full size smells like fresh, perfectly ripe, juicy blueberries on a bed of sweet cream. Definitely a fresher blueberry scent while still being a perfect, charming amount of creamy sweetness. I also like that this gloss isn't overwhelming in my hair. The scent is noticeable, but not distractingly so.

Fragrance review: My review for this and Apple Pie hair gloss could pretty much be identical. Way too much cinnamon, reminds me of cinnamon potpourri, and irritates my skin.

Fragrance review: This smells incredibly spicy, even in the bottle. Tons of cinnamon. I was afraid to really try this on my hair or skin, because I'm so sensitive to spice notes. A little dab on my wrist made my skin red and itchy, and smelled like overwhelming cinnamon potpourri.

Fragrance review: I usually enjoy red musk, but I don't like Snake Oil or Smut (which smell very similar to me). They both have a weird, brown, muddled thickness to them and a weird, unwashed, powdery, burnt hair something in them to my nose. This is sugary and musky, but strangely flat, heavy and dark, in an unpleasant way to my nose. Hard to describe. If you like Smut and Snake Oil, though, you'll obviously like this gloss.

Fragrance review: There's something very 'wild west saloon' about this to me, lol. The red sandalwood and amber smell like the best well worn wooden floors, sun baked and slightly dusty, while the honey, clove and saffron add a sweetness and almost medicinal, boozy something to the mix. Warm and spicy without being reminiscent of holiday potpourri or cinnamon. Fiery, golden, warm, unusual and lovely. Wood, amber, honey and clove seem to be there in equal measure. The drydown is a honeyed, woody, spicy bay rum type of scent.

Fragrance review: This oil is so cool to look at. Clear with blobs of red musk that look like droplets of blood in the bottle and sprayed on to my skin. It smells like The Infernal Lover ("creamy, sensual, honeyed red musk"). The red musk and sweet honey are thick, chewy, foodie-but-not, and so sexy. It has an earthy edge that reminds me of patchouli, but must be the cardamom and red musk meshing together. The red musk reminds me of warm skin and red wine, but sweet and very come hither... I really enjoy The Poem Cloud. Would be great for layering with any of bpal's red musk blends.

Fragrance review: This is wonderful, and my favorite gourmand hair gloss. It smells just like sweet key lime custard, cool and creamy and a bit vanilla-ish, and a buttery graham cracker crust. Strong, long lasting and mouthwatering. Very realistic and makes me crave key lime pie.

I'm still sad that this won out in the monthly poll over Crawdad Dream, lol. I didn't get any cake from the Teatime in Roswell perfume oil and I don't really smell cake in the hair gloss either. It's a clean, sharp, crisp tea that reminds me of bpal's Asian inspired lunacy blends. Lots of watery cucumber and citrusy tea. On a side note, Solstice Scents has a fragrance called 'Blossom Jam Tea Cakes' that really does smell like tea, dainty cakes and biscuits, and that is my go-to for this type of fragrance. Teatime in Roswell isn't sweet enough for me.
