    Cold Moon 2020

    This year’s Cold Moon is a frozen chocolate confection because we’re too deep into 2020 for me to feel like being profound.

    Aerodynamic Junk

    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.

    The Listeners

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

    Tsubi-Bôzu

    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.

    Gebirgsschlucht Im Winter

    Blackberry, tobacco, and musk. This smells strongly of a musky, blackberry and tobacco blend. Deep purple. Slightly chewy. Good throw and wear length.

    Gingerbread Zombie

    Gingerbread and mint chocolate chips. This smells foodie, and if you smashed a peppermint patty with some gingerbread spices. Tasty. Medium throw and wear length.

    Im Tiefen Winter

    Stones and smoke over a bed of oakmoss. This smells stony and like the winter version of one of the Last Unicorn blends, I think it was Witch Cursed Castle. Its very gender neutral veering into masculine territory. Good throw and wear length.

    Partridges in the Snow

    Sweet chestnuts and brown musk. Cozy, roasted, woodsy chestnuts. Medium throw and wear length.

    A Moonlit Winter Landscape

    Cool, dark iris, grey musk, and a whiff of snow. This one is a delicate white floral, and I sort of really love it, and I think I may need more. Great throw, medium wear length.

    Klosterruine Im Winter Mit Blick Auf Heisterbach

    Fire, marble, and honestly what smells like black musk. This smells both wintery, stony, and fiery. Less of a perfume and more like a DnD role play scent. Low throw but good wear length.

    The Icebergs

    Clean peach musk and a whiff of amber. This is like a winter version of the summer peaches. Less sweet, more musky, and with enough icy qualities to keep it in winter. Good throw and wear length.

    Last Tavern at the Town Gate

    Smoky red musk and whisky. This one is a smoky, boozey musk. Medium throw and wear length. Its actually very gender neutral to more masc in vibe.

    Winter Scene in Little Russia

    Smoky lavender and slushy snow. The smoke is more prominent on wet, but fades in the drydown. Medium throw and wear length.

    Winter Sunset

    Citrus and clove bursting through piney snow musk. Like morning sun dying on snow. Good throw and wear length.

    Harvest Apple Soap

    Hay bales, squished apples, strips of apple peel, and a swig of scotch. This soap has been polished with bright shades of blush, crimson, and spring green.

    Harvest Apple Soap

    Yup smells like apples and hay. It smells appley and fresh, and I love it. I wish I had picked up two bars. If you know the old Villainess/BPerryStudios, foamy, luxe, good slip. Ages like a dream.

    Snow-Covered Landscape

    Lilac, snowdrops, and somber starry blue musk. There's something sweet about this. Low throw, great wear length. It's a wistful floral scent.

    Sunrise in Winter

    Bitter chamomile, smoky vetiver and a touch of oudh. This is a bitter smoky herbal. Gender neutral, pulling toward masculine. The amber is there to sweeten it just enough. Good throw and wear length.

    Thrills and Junk Food

    A carb and sugar overdose: popcorn, pretzels, fruit punch, and blue cotton candy.

    Teakwood, Moss & Salt

    No additional scent description.
  21. Every leaf tells a story. Red wine dominates on wet, and then as it dries, the oudh starts to come through. The dead leaves base is a distant third. If you like perfumey red wine blends, give this a whirl. Good throw and wear length.

    Very Stable Genius

    A scent straight out of a deep-fryer: scorched, lard-addled potatoes, beef gristle, and a bit of bacon. Proceeds from the sale of this scent benefits the American Civil Liberties Union. BACON and ranch dressing potatoes. Seriously, this smells like bacon and ranch dressing potatoes. This smells like food. And smoky bacon. BACON BACON BACON BACON. Great throw and wear length, of course.
  23. No additional scent description provided.
  24. [No additional description provided.] This on me is mainly a frankincense and vetiver with a whiff of apple. The vetiver is smoky and gritty on this one. Medium throw and wear length.
