And when Rudolph had opened the third seal, I heard the third reindeer say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black snowman; and he had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four reindeer say, A measure of peppermint for a penny, and three measures of licorice rope for a penny; and see thou hurt not the egg nog and the gløgg. Snow soaked black with tobacco, oudh, and black magnolia. This one is the scariest Snowman to me because black magnolia turns into wet wool on me, so I'm getting a soggy wet wool with a touch of oudh and tobacco. Great throw and wear length. I actually dislike this so much, it might actually win out as the worst BPAL on my skin in a long long time. But magnolia is a super duper problematic note on my skin, so YMMV.

No minces were harmed in the making of this pie perfume. Figs, raisins, dried cherries, and suet accord (vegan-safe!) steeped in dark brown sugar, crystallized ginger, lemon and orange zest, nutmeg, allspice, and clove, embraced by an apple cider cornmeal crust. This smells strong of nutmeg, clove and allspice, with apples and raisins and hints of other fruit. In other words, this smells like mincemeat as you're making it. Delicious! For all of you apple pie lovers, give this a whirl.

An emerald green, a verdant green, a green that is bursting with life, vitality and joy. This is the wet, bright green of wild growth: tiger fig leaf, coconut palm, neroli, mint chypre, green labdanum, green apple, jungle leaves, white amber, coriander, and tea leaf.

No additional scent description.

A dribble of lavender oil running along the cracked spine of a well-loved mass market paperback enveloped in a snuggly oversized hoodie.
-
Pumpkin Cookies + dead leaves. This is basically a cookie blend with a hint of dead leaves. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Champagne especially on wet, a note of green bellpepper and peppery leaves emerges as it dries. This one is like a celebratory Dead Leaves. Like it doused itself in champagne, sashayed and then made itself at home. Great throw on wet.
-
Green ivy, and a whiff of green dead leaves. This is an intensely green plant smell. I imagine this is what Poison Ivy, the DC comic character smells like. Intensely green. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Oranges, apricot, and a hint of dead leaves. Honestly, this smells like oranges and apricot, and its fruity and delicious. Yes, more please. Low throw, average wear length.
-
Honeyed vanilla and dead leaves. This one is a sweeter version of Dead Leaves, which brings out the green underneath the sweetness of the honey and vanilla. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Dead Leaves, sharp pink pepper to give them bite, and a whiff of leather. This one is more of Dead Leaves + something else throw in on me. The pink pepper however is gorgeous and really makes this a great and wearable Dead Leaves dominant blend. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Pepper, pumpkins, and a whiff of dead leaves. But again, this combination of pepper + pumpkin smells vaguely Indian cuisine to me, and ends up in a very savory place. Medium throw and wear length.

Dead Leaves, Roasted Almonds, and Bourbon Cream

Roasted almonds, whiff of cream and dead leaves. This is a very foodie DL blend. In fact, the main dominant notes on me are almond and cream. Medium thro and wear length. -
Spruce/pine greens, hint of ti leaf and dead leaves. This is mainly an evergreen tree with a touch of dead leaves. Medium throw and wear length.
-
This is mainly dead leaves and vetiver on me. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Mango, cranberry, and sugar. Fruity, and as advertised. Good throw and wear length.
-
Complex, oriental floral. It's musky, plum, and perfumey amber. Great throw on wet, and then it calms down, good wear length.
-
Dark, smoky sandalwood. This one doesn't have a lot of throw, and its more of a skin scent on me. Low throw, good wear length.
-
Oak, dirt (thanks vetiver), ambrette seed. This smells like October, and dirt. Good throw and wear length.
-
... Dead Leaves is this you? I definitely get leaves, smoke, green, and coolness of Autumn. This is a very Fall-blend. The cool chill of an October night. Medium throw and wear length.
-
This starts off as a smoky green scent, and ends up in a smoke, pumpkin, and a whiff of sandalwood. Warm, complex, and sophisticated. Halloween for every day of the year. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Smoky cinnamon, apples, resins and woods. It sort of reminds me if Bonfire Night decided to amp the foodiness. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Citrusy musk, apple, and resin. I definitely got the neroli and lemon on wet. It dried to a more tabac + myrrh blend. Good throw and wear length.
-
Red musk, orchid, and whiff of roses. This smelled soft, feminine, and floral. It reminded me to a Lucy blend from a previous Dracula line. Good throw and wear length.
