    Pumpkin Spice Absinthe

    2021 version! This one was almost all absinthe, and once it calmed down the sleaze, I get more of the spices, aniseed, and booze. Herby. Green, slightly PSL, but mainly absinthe amped up on spices. Good throw and wear length.

    Pyramid of Skulls

    Sweet tobacco floating around sandalwood. Cold, reminiscent of incense smoke, and oddly enough solemn and compelling. Low throw and good wear length. Very gender neutral.

    Samhain

    2021 review Spiced apple cider, tinges of patchouli, strong mentholic pine. This smells like a haunted woods where witches are doing rituals. I think its the strong mentholic pine that is amping up the spooky factor. Good throw and wear length.
