The lab has this seething/barely contained under a calm demeanor thing down. Pick a wrist. L: On my skin, this starts a purely men's cologne I can taste (like if a freshly sprayed man just walked by) then gives way to a softer clove cologne with the gentlest floral on its edges as it dries. R: Big clove and wood out the gate. The cologne comes in as it dries as clove with a warm wood center. No flowers at all over here. I am pleasantly surprised by this one: I fully expected the woods to go nuts on my skin. Masculine, grown, and also cuddly.

Normally, @savage_rose and @zankoku_zen are my skin twins. Whatever I buy based on their reviews goes the same way on me. My skin strikes again. My innocent, unsuspecting nose: Oh, hi there delicate white lily with green OHHHHMMMMAAAIIIIGAAAAAWDUHSYRUPYPEACH...and their quiet friend lightly honeyed beeswax in the corner. [8 hours later] Musk and beeswax are hanging tough. Try this one. It seems to be a morpher for most everyone but overall positivelt received.

This is a clove cigarette single note on me from start to finish. It's quieter than Thorns and Snooty Bat.

Butterscotch Bitch
DigitalCoyote replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat
You know that pesky thing my skin does with sugar? I know how this is gonna sound, but go with me: on my skin, it's a deeply carmelized thick butterscotch. It's foodie without being cloying. It lasted about 5 minutes before my skin ate it. -
Wet: campfire--wood and smoke. Semidry: Same. Dry: More pine resin and musk but still predominantly a warm campfire. Normally, the lab's wood notes become obnoxious on me or go straight to pencil shavings. This is a rugged, outdoor scent with a bit of an edge without smelling like high pitched conifers. On me, it's got a low throw so it's not going to announce itself--you gotta get close for this one. I think I like this for fall alongside the dead leaves scents.

Wet: Faint rose out of the gate first before being passed by juicy plum and the ghost of lillies. Semidry: All gunpowder. Dry: Gunpowder and leather and amber with a hint of floral lurking on the edges of where I applied this. The show is over and things are winding down but man, what a gig it was.
-
Wet: APPLE!! The wet freshly cut red apple Red Delicious apples pretend to be with a faint flower back bone. Semi dry and beyond: The apple's half-life is short (maybe a minute or two) before the honey crowds everyone out. The musk and amber are in there but this is all honey to the end.

Starts off like caramel then settles in to honey and amber. My skin amped the sugar initially but it was worth the wait for it to mellow.
-
Wet: This is Mr. Bubble. IYKYK Semi-dry/dry: Still giving pink bubblebath. Sugary with the fruitiness mellowing as it dries. While I'm not mad at it, I think I had a very different idea of what it would be based on the notes. Maybe someone will think it's sexy on me.

The mushroom brings an earthy/dirt scent to a mellow jasmine thats out with forest greenery. Very different from the sultry or heady jasmine that can be overpowering, like the other two elements literally ground it.

Rose Moon: White Rose Petals and Cream
DigitalCoyote replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
On me, it is what it says it is. Soft rose with a non-foody creaminess that rounds out the scent. Low throw--it's not going to announce itself before you enter the room. This is a rose for those times when you want it to be a very close to the body/personal scent vs. one that lingers in the air or on others. -
Peach Pulp and Lapsang Souchong
DigitalCoyote replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This is a transformer on me: Wet: Sweet, drippy, syrupy peach so strong it's almost like a single note. Semi-dry: If Imported California Peach was too busy or overwhelming, this might be for you. The sweetness of the peach is retreating and a twiggy dry bush smell is coming in. Dry: Definitely smells like opening a canister of peach tea. This isn't a scent with big throw so bring it along to reapply. -

A bolt of ozone then that sweet fog machine juice smell from concerts. Very berry. Dissipates in to incense. -
Honey and honeysuckle described as an aquatic imaginary sage Edit: I reapplied about 4 hours ago. Still acting like a honey-er honeysuckle single note. Lily was barely there (like 2 minutes tops) on my skin and I never got sage. Maybe it grounded the lily and exited with it?

Zechariah 7:9-10

Magnolia and I have a 50/50 chance of working out. I'm gonna hazard a guess this is the magnolia in Black Snowman because this was initially giving green and wet along with floral. Champaca and oud are rounding it out with a fruity note and calming faint smoke/incense. This is a boss lady floral of the do no harm but take no shit variety. I can see how it would read older: it's the air of authority of a matriarch in my deep south family. This is someone who's seen some things, done some dirt, and not a hair is out of place. I can't see teenagers wearing this one.
