This smells faintly of sugary vanilla. However, I can tell you that super aged vanilla bean bits are HARD and will cut you. Like legit. Scrub carefully. It works well as a soap, its a very dense bar since its lost water weight. That said, the fragrance has also taken a hit. You can barely smell it. Won't stop me from using it though.

A verdant inferno of daffodils, tulips, voluptuous pink peonies, star magnolias, and a blaze of crisp, green leaves.

So definitely aquatics, and a good bit of oakmoss. When on first wet, it's cheerful and bright and fuzzy (definitely some sweet citrus edging on that!) On the drydown it gets a little more floral, but still stays true to a soft, aquatic moss. In alot of ways, this actually reminded me to Gobo - if Gobo were a MOSS. It's got that bright, fun, happy vibe to it. Very friendly. Energetic. I don't typically love prototypes. But this one, this one I think I'll love. And I'd love to see it released!

Smoke, cognac, and a whiff of lavender. This one smells smoky, slightly boozy. Good throw and wear length.

CELERY. I kid you not. I think this is probably an herbal salty lavender, and underneath, maybe a whiff of leather? However, if I'm not paying attention to the notes, and just close my eyes, and sniff, I get CELERY. Good throw and wear legnth.

Lemony, and a whiff of amber. This smells fresh and citrusy, and then warmer because of the amber. Very clean. After a while though, I can't smell it as much.
-
Cinnamon, tobacco, hints of ginger and musk. Mainly its a cinnamon tobacco blend on me. Firey, warm. Good throw and wear length.
-
A true innovation: teakwood, oak, pumpkin spiced smoked vanilla, and tobacco.
-
Apples, grass, dandelion sap. Smells like green apples in the sunlight. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Chocolate beeswax. Honeyed chocolate. Medium throw and wear length.

A clang of rusted armor, a dark, metallic oudh, leather, and a splash of sea water.

Crisp, wet pine needles, soft mosses, bright bergamot, a bit of Dorian, and Lilith’s favorite lavender.
-
Cereus, orris butter, moonflower accord, night phlox, honeysuckle, jonquil, silver thyme, white mint, and blue musk.

This year’s Cold Moon is a frozen chocolate confection because we’re too deep into 2020 for me to feel like being profound.
-
Tonka bean, clove bud, leather accord, and Mysore sandalwood. Tonka, clove, and leather. With a whiff of my favorite sandalwood. This one is dark, spicy, and slightly leather like. Gender neutral to masculine. Good throw land wear length.

A host of phantoms: mist-pale lilac, orris root, bruised violets, mugwort, white amber, yuzu, white champa, and white musk.

Leather, black incense, cypress, tree moss, and patchouli. Black leather, cool cypress wood, and a whiff of incense. This one is like a refined DeSade. It's cool, slightly piney, black leather. Medium throw and wear length. I find most black leather scents to be somewhat chemically and in your face. This one is much more subdued, but probably more potent because its got such a leashed intensity. This is the magic of a dominant eye tracking your movements, in a way that doesn't make you feel unsafe but you are being noticed and watched.
