Inspired by anointing oils used in the philosopher’s time after partaking in public baths: orris root, ambergris accord, frankincense, olive blossom, black fig, and marjoram.

A gift from the goblins – thirteen autumnal notes deepened by bitter cacao: red sandalwood, Himalayan cedar, pine needle, green cardamom, saffron, nutmeg, pumpkin rind, black fig, myrrh, tobacco absolute, guiac, cognac, and oakmoss.

Graceful, regal, elegant, and cursed: golden sandalwood and liquidambar, cardamom, coconut milk, jasmine sambac, white petal rosewater, and labdanum.

Sheer musk and an exhale of evaporated milk.

Sleepy lavender bud, the memory of warm milk, a splinter of bone dust, and a clawful of upturned grave loam.

Sagacious and playful: rose petals and champagne swirling with Italian bergamot, neroli, orris root, peony, violet sugar, and blackberry syrup.

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on. White grapefruit, tea leaf, white ginger, orange blossom, jasmine, honey myrtle, and lime. Wow. If this isn't the first review, mods, please feel free to merge. I really really like this scent. I think out of all the GC blends, this is probably my favorite. I get a lot of grapefruit and ginger and something that smells like lilies, which might be the combination of orange blossom/jasmine/honey mirtle. There is a tiny hint of lime at the beginning, but really, this for me is grapefruit/ginger love. I used it yesterday with 1/2 of Lush's Pop in the Bath and it made the water ultra-moisturizing. Today I tried it for the scent itself, and I love the ginger/grapefruit I get from it. Love it.

A perfume for distant lovers: shimmering crushed abalone accord, salt-dusted white sandalwood, champaca blossoms, motia attar, and blue lotus.

Creaking oak floorboards coated in dust. A trembling sandalwood spiderweb writhes with long-buried memories.

Sweet fig and golden almond with buttery amber and a flutter of autumn leaves.

DWARVEN ALE Brewed with fermented mushrooms, honey, and apple rootstock. Dwarven Ale smells more like ginger beer to me. As it dries, the spicy ginger top note recedes and in the drydown honey and mushrooms peek out from underneath. It's a rooty, darkly ginger effervescent blend. Gingery, mushrooms, beer.

Pink champaca, jasmine incense, vanilla cream, sweet amber, white patchouli, and rose sandalwood.

Thorn-strangled roses, vetiver, honeysuckle, twilit musk, and black oud.

The sweetest of the sweet: 13 types of sugar including sugar cane, granulated sugar, demerara sugar, confectioners sugar, pearl sugar, spun sugar, brown sugar, rainbow sanding sugar, turbinado sugar, and muscovado sugar.

A distorted, cacophonous, and mirthless chortle: a hollow rumble of dark resins that rises into a shrieking crescendo of icy wine grape, white musk, and white lemon.

A leathered up, musky interpretation of BPAL’s Antique Lace: dry flowers, aged linens, and the faint breath of long-faded perfumes with well-worn leather and caramel musk.
