Her far horizons, her jewel-sea: a rose-tinted sunset of amber salt spray azure musk.

No additional scent description.

Dirty patch, dirty herbs, dirty bonfire incense, hint of resin. This is mainly a smoked herbs and dirty rooty patchouli. This one is darker and smokier than the Man in Black, who is almost positively urbane by comparison. Every camped out in the woods and then rolled around in ashy woods? Yeah, that's what this smells like.

Incense, cola, and a whiff of honeyed resins. To me, the labdanum and incense are the strongest notes, so it ends up in a incense cola sort of hell. Medium throw, great wear length.

Worn leather, whiff of soil and smoke with some sweetness from the tonka. Medium throw and wear length.

This is a fragrant bunch of wild flowers. Its fresh, flowery and very much smells like a meadow. Great throw and wear length.

Okay, I received 5 Experimental SO testers, and can definitely identify Exp #5 as the Experimental Blend Cinnamon. I think Experimental Blend, unidentified type is the Experimental Green type, since I did get a grassy blend plus definite green like notes from it. Over SO, clearly. I think Experimental Blend #5 I think is the Experimental Minty type, since it smelled again like fresh soap + SO, and I think its that minty freshness overlaid on the uber aged SO base. Experimental #2 just smelled like a turbo charged Snake Oil. It was dark amber, and just smelled very SO and then morphed into the love child of SO and Mme Moriarty. Finally, the one labelled "Blue" smells like blue musk and Snake Oil had a baby. Blue musk always has a starry contemplative quality to it, and it smells very strongly of blue musk and SO. Probably my favorite of the entire lot.

This smells like fresh apples to me. Fresh green apples, a hint of woody stem, and a whiff of linen. Basically, if you took a handkerchief and rubbed it all over a fresh apple, this is what it would smell like. Clean, fragrant, and deliciously apple. Medium throw and wear length.

To me, Perilous Garden is a grapefruit Jean Nate. It's this citrusy sparkling floral, with the citrus being the top notes, the tuberose forming the middle, over a bed of white musk. It's clean, and classic, and very much grapefruit. Medium throw and wear length.

I get mainly smoky red musk, nots of clove incense and a whiff of spicy carnation. This smells very dark and gothy. Very femme fatale. Good throw and wear length. If you were a 90s goth, I can see you being heavily into this blend.

Orange blossom, wood and a note of motor oil? I swear, this one is a morpher. It stars off as orange blossom, and stays that way but brings in both wood and a slightly musk on it and ends up being more gender neutral-masculine than I expected. Medium throw and wear length.

Sugary amber. This is mainly an amber dominant blend on me. I can see this being wildly popular. Medium throw and wear length.

Grapefruit, milky coconut, and amber musk on me. This one codes as "milky fruits" to me, and its both oddly tropical and not at the same time. Fruitier than I expected, creamier than I expected. Medium throw and wear length. Surprise sleeper hit if you ask me.

Why has no one review this? This one is a resinous fig blend. If you wanted a mainly fig blend on a bed of resins, look no further. Medium throw but good wear length. If you're a fig lover, give this a whirl.

Salty wood. As it dries, I get more of the smoky dark vetiver lurking in the background, but its mainly a cypress blend on me. Very gender-neutral to masculine. Medium throw and wear length.

Fruity milk. This smells like fruity rice milk. The mango is an overlay over the milky rice. Medium throw and wear length. This makes me crave sticky rice with mango. If you wanted that in a perfume (sans the coconut), this is it. Medium throw and wear length.

Cucumber fresh and heavy on wet, and as it dries you get a whiff of tomato leaf to me. Overall, this is very clean and green. Very cooling. Great for the summer. Average throw and wear length. This is one of those blends that will be better now than aged. So use it up!

For those of you that were afraid of the agarwood, I would say that it isn't present. I get mainly osmanthus, which to me smells like a fruity sweet floral. There's a note of woodiness, which should be a sigh of relief for those of you that were worried about the oudh, which sort of grounds the floral. Moderate throw and wear length.

Anyway, here’s a perfume dedicated to Lilith making banana bread that she didn’t even taste.

Welcome home, Peanut. This is the scent of Lilith’s joy the very first time she held you (minus the barf you splattered all over Lilith on the ride home): honey, warm cinnamon, sweet almond, myrrh, and fig cream.

A cold scent, a severing: silver-frosted white musk, juniper, and cade with bitter carrot seed, lemon peel, davana, and white tea.

Ozone, white sandalwood, eucalyptus, camphor, crystallized white amber, verbena, oakmoss, clary sage, and a hint of white citrus rind.

No additional scent description.

[No additional description provided.] This one is definitely a morpher! On wet, it's mainly dark chocolate and red fruits. As it dries, the red pepper flakes come out and add a spiciness to the blend. It dries down to a pimento-topped red fruit blend. Spicy. In some ways, this reminds me to dragon's blood. I could see the Queen of Mereen being into this. Medium throw and wear length.

Hay absolute, tall grasses, dry honey, mallow, cardamom, amber, oat cakes, and wheat.
