This one is a much muskier Golden Priapus with a dash of sugar, but oddly enough the least sugary of all the Sugar Plum combinations. It is a slightly more youthful take on Golden Priapus, and could very much be at home with a Lilith release now. Medium throw and wear length.

Super sugary Snake Oil. Snake Oil basically went and threw itself into a sugar bowl and you're just slathered in this Snake Oil scented sugar body polish. If that is your dream, look no further. Medium throw and wear length.

This is a plummy/fruity Black Phoenix. If Bordello and Black Phoenix had a baby, this is what it would smell like. Medium throw and wear length.

Lavender citrus fougere with extra sugar. Sugar Plum doesn't bring anything to the table other than sugar in this scenario. Medium throw and wear length.

Sugary plum and almond. This is if Snow White basically doused herself in sweet stick plum candy. Medium throw and wear length.

Spicy gingerbread and a whiff of coconut. Medium throw and wear length.

This smells like chocolate amber. Which is foodie and ambery. If you wanted a basically perfume version of chocolate, here you go. Medium throw and wear length.

This started off as mint chocolate chip ice cream and dried down to clove marshmallow. If either of those is your jam, I would give this a whirl. Medium throw and wear length.

This went from blueberry sugary pez candy to a sugary plum smelling candy. Blueberry is such an odd duck on my skin. Medium throw and wear length.

Lemon verbena, soporific flowers and lavender. This is like a sleep blend that isn't actually lavender centric. If somehow you hate that all relaxing blends are lavender based, give this a whirl. Medium throw and wear length.

Dry sandalwood with a whiff of light florals. Medium throw and wear length.

Red Rose, whiff of black pepper which adds a nice spicy note. The black musk makes it a very deep rose. Good throw.

Warm dry vanilla and sweet hay. This one smells warm and cozy. Might have to consider a bottle.

Honeyed amber. The beeswax is lovely in this, and definitely big throw of honey and amber. Good throw and wear length.

I mainly get a pink rose with lemon, whiff of palo santo. Medium throw and wear length.

Peachy honey. The throw on this is monstrous on my hair. If you wanted honey with a slight peach/apricot vibe, look no further.

As stated, this is basically the bay rum SN but as a hair gloss. For some this will be a little too masculine. For me, this just smells delicious. And pirate-y. YARRR.

Red musk, black pepper, Mysore sandalwood, ambrette seed, and smoke.

OH jokes on me. This one starts off as a golden ambered hops, and its pleasant then, but then dries to a musk, sweet reddish, amber with a curl of florals. And it's golden through. Why did I have to fall in love with such a hard to find blend this time?

And pleasant is the fairy land, But, an eerie tale to tell, At the end of every seven years, We pay a tithe to Hell, I am so fair and firm of flesh, I'm feared it be myself. The scent of twilight in a secluded grove. A tinkle of laughter in the distance echoes through the woods discordantly, and the shadows are thick with menace: a gossamer vanilla lace enveloped in a veil of honeysuckle, wild jasmine, poppy, crushed grass, evergreen, white cognac, white amber, lilac butter, tobacco, indigo musk, and bee balm. To me, this is like if Antique Lace and Host of Air had a child, and dropped it into a bed of honeysuckle. I get light florals (honeysuckle being predominant), vanilla lace, crushed grass, and a whiff of musk. Beautiful, light and ethereal.

This smells like motor oil, smoke, and a wee bit of leather. But yes, motor oil. Good throw and wear length.

Blood orchid, ylang ylang, bourbon vanilla absolute, rose cream, frankincense, pink pepper, clove, and opium tar accord

[No additional description provided.] Again, thank you to a super generous BPALer who let me test these from her bottle. You're amazing, and thank you! So, PSA starts off with all of the glorious pumpkin spice you can want. Clove, allspice, and a touch of cinnamon, and then the absinthe starts to peep out. The spice recedes, and I would put it more as a spicy absinthe, in which I get lemon and mint top notes, followed by hyssop, anise, and allspice. It's actually a strange mashup that I do like. I would call this smoothly blended. Medium throw, great wear length. So if you like spicy and/or herbal blends, give Pumpkin Spice Absinthe a whirl. It's strangely fall like, and yet green at the same time.

The consummate host: she can fill oceans of time on the mic and still leave the crowd hypnotized. Polished black patchouli and blood-red vegetal musk, bakhoor oudh, tobacco absolute, fossilized amber resin, and bittersweet cacao. Red musk, oudh, tobacco, and whiff of cacao. The musk has traces of patchouli, which really make it more of a dark red musk to my mind. This one is musky, tobacco-y, oudh with some cacao in it. If you're into either musk or tobacco, this should be for you. It's very much in the red musk vein of blends. Sexy, dark, unapologetic. Medium throw and wear length.

No description available. MMH3 is definitely a kissing cousin to MMH2, same smoky note, but the florals are sharper in this one, definitely jasmine I think. My skin also eats this one up.
