Oak wood, vanilla husk, fig meat, bamboo reeds, black silk, and patchouli. -
A liquid moon gliding through gaunt branches, illuminating the first quiet buds of spring: pale yellow amber and verbena, snow-covered maple and oak, a scattering of fir needles, and tiny snowdrop petals.
-
Warm, golden, feather-soft: orris-dusted amber, white honey, osmanthus blossom, and star jasmine.
-
Dead Leaves and a whiff of licorice. The licorice is not as strong as say in Black Licorice Smut, and is stronger on wet, and the Dead Leaves I feel are a heftier base than Smut is to licorice. It ends up a spicy, slightly anise Dead Leaves.
-
Fudgy chocolate from Lump of Coal + musk. Honestly, this has been my fave so far. The chocolate fudge note is fantastic. Good throw and wear length.
-
Sour bubblegum sugar and musk. This smells like Jailbait ramped up to 11. A darker, smuttier version of Jailbait. Good throw and wear length.
-
Okay Smut does weird things to Candy Corn. I swear this is has coffee in it. To me its coffee tinged candy corn. I mean, if that's your thing, give this a whirl. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Sugary licorice (super strong) and musk. Yup. If you love yourself some anise or licorice, give this a whirl. Great throw and wear length.
-
Smut plus pumpkin spice and a hint of pumpkin. This for me was more Pumpkin Spice Smut that straight up pumpkin. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Honey sugar and the musk from Smut. This is a very honeyed version of Smut. Or if O and Smut had a baby, and covered it in sugar. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Lemon Scented Sticky Bat is that you? It smells like a sour lemon sugar with musk (instead of fur). Great throw and wear length.
-
This starts off with a strong candy apple scent, and then dries down to a very musky apple sugar blend on me. Good throw and wear length.
-
This one is a very soft floral HG - I definitely get fresh crisp violets and a green tea accent. It's light, spring-like, but doesn't really hold up in my hair. Decent throw, but low wear length.

Psst! – let’s talk about mom. Lilith and I talking about Beth behind her back (in front of her face!) in a café in Berlin. Coffee beans, leather, honey, and warm winter cookies. Hello coffee! In this one, I would definitely say that coffee is the star. It has a tinge of sweetness to it, and a touch of honey. But overall, I am amping up the coffee in this. This one is the coffee blend for me.

This is a Cobwebby exclusive from back in 2012, and it's been six years and no one seems to have reviewed it. And since there were a few bottles on Etsy, I went ahead and grabbed it. Burial v2 starts off with a very smoky vetiver note, which calms down substantially. I get dirt... and HOLY HELL BATMAN, I am getting the same weird grapefruit note that I get from Capricorn 2004. Capricorn 2004, which is almost impossible to get your hands on, and it starts off as a weird woody blend that MAGICALLY BECOMES GRAPEFRUIT ZEST on my skin and I think it may be the aged cedar. In other words, if you age cedar for 10+ years, the citrus notes in the cedar transform to a strange grapefruit-like scent that just sort of stays around. Dirt, grapefruit dust, and cedar. Yup. So, I'm off to go score my own whole bottle.

"What the hell is that?" asked Shadow, but Wednesday touched his finger to his lips, shook his head sharply. Silence. It looked like a mechanical spider, blue metal, glittering LED lights, and it was the size of a tractor. It squatted at the bottom of the hill. Beyond it were an assortment of bones, each with a flame beside it little bigger than a candle-flame, flickering. Dark metal and sour grapefruit creeping over a field of bones. Greasy metal, tinge of bruised grapefuit, and something that smells like it should be a bone shard. This one is dark, electrical, and yet kinda oozy. It's a gender neutral, with heavy chemical undertones. Not my type of blend at all.
-
Tulsi and attar. This smells vaguely Indian/Pakistani, and I think its the tulsi. It smells very gender neutral and soft. Medium throw and wear length.
-
I mainly get olive blossom and moss. This smells like the green vines that make their way onto trees. It smells heavily of olive blossom to me. Good throw and wear length.
-
Mint, green apple, vegetable musk and a whiff of the tropics. This smells like it should be the Philippines. Good throw and wear length.
-
Creamy white roses. There's an ethereal quality to it, but also sort of vampy? It's definitely a more unique white rose blend than I expected. Good throw and wear length.
-
I mainly got incense and whiff of apple peel. It's like a golden incense blend, slightly smoky, and apple blossom. Good throw and wear length. More feminine than Morphine.
-
Soft brown musk, black peppercorn, tobacco absolute, hiba wood, and cognac. Furry tobacco and cognac musk. I get hints of the peppercorn and wood. Honestly, this reminds me to Tanuki no Kanban, in the sense that its "furry tobacco nuts". You know, if nuts smoked classy tobacco and drank cognac. I think I just described the yuppie Wall Street Financiers. Great throw and wear length. Because, you know, nuts are loud.
