Carbon is a Periodic Table prototype that has been floating about since 2011. It has been seen in NYCC and will calls back then. Carbon opens up with what I consider a very citrus fougere. It's more of a traditional bergamot/rosemary type fougere but dries down to something earthier and warmer. I get like a vetiver-like note corrupting and grounding everything. It's smokier and warmer. Carbon to me is a very masculine blend. It starts off as a sophisticated manly cologne, and then opens up as vetiver-dirt type blend. Good throw and wear length.

Well, duh.

A soothing, uplifting oil constructed under the auspices of Helios in order to help counteract the toxic affects of nonstop doomscrolling. This oil contains sweet orange, French lavender, bergamot, lemon, neroli, and holy basil.

AP77 is definitely an Amanda Palmer prototype, and I'm torn between the Bathroom Incident and Occurance at the Diner, but definitely leaning toward Bathroom Incident on the drydown. On wet, it's a clean floral smell, but as it dries I think I smell something almost 'tile/porcelain' like, and something warm like clay underneath the still 'clean' overlay. It might be OatD, but it seems lack a 'green' freshness to it. I am enjoying the CLAY note in this though.

The essence of innocence shattered: glittering Egyptian amber and heliotrope, infused with the sweetness of strawberry and vanilla – dragged into debauch by lusty red musk and a dribble of black cherry. I may to try this one again, or maybe do more than one spritz. Almost immediately I get a hit of strawberry and black cherry, but that dissipates after about 15 minutes, and it's mainly an amber/heliotrope blend on my hair. Meaning it's very faint. I may roll it around a little more tomorrow and see what it does. Perhaps I'm used to slightly more assertive blends like Frosty Silkybat and the tobacco clove and dirt moss Weenie one, which have a bigger throw Other than that, my hair is glossy, moisturized and I really have to say that BPTP hairgloss has been a life saver this winter. It's kept the fritz and flyaways away.

Plum, white tea, and pink pepper. Slightly smokey, ripe fruit, and white tea. Gorgeous. Great throw and wear length.

Sugary peach candy. Whiff of apricot and frankincense. Great throw and wear length.

Pepper, vetiver, patchouli and parchment. This smells like spicy paper. Great throw and wear length.

Pine, juniper berries, water and stone. This smells like a mountain waterfall. Great throw and wear length.

Pear, white musk, and champaca. On wet, its much more sparkly, but as it dries, smoky champaca comes out and its like pear went on a date with mezcal. Medium throw and wear length.

Blackberries, plum, cherry, tobacco, rose and musk. Dark purple fruits, incensey musk, sexy. Medium throw and wear length.

Shimmering lily and sandalwood. Clean, slightly aquatic, slightly floral. It's like drifting on a wave on a sunny summer beach day. Medium throw and wear length.

Delicate coconut rice milk. It's very subtle, very coconutty, very milky. Strangely demure but highly sophisticated. Medium throw and wear length.

Pine, rose, and oakmoss. It starts off as a lovely pine blend, and then the rose develops, and its like if a pine tree and rose had an inter-species baby. ... Romantic Groot? Now I can't get the idea that this is what Groot smells like when he's off trying to romance... someone else. Great throw and wear length.

Orange blossom, and a whiff of jasmine, ginger, and clove. This smells like a hot summer night in Florida. Medium throw and wear length.

Cinnamon, a touch of yam and vanilla, and amber. This one is warmer, and spicier than I expected. Much more approachable. Medium throw and wear length.
