A scent for in-between times and in-between spaces: blackened pomegranate, myrrh, opoponax, cypress, black oud, and 9-year aged patchouli.

An iron grey beacon of good fortune: opoponax and sweet labdanum with iron filings, high john the conqueror root, vetiver, frankincense, and patchouli.

Vanilla sugar cookies and oak. This one is a foodie blend based on wood. Medium throw and wear length.

Cardamom scented cake batter with marshmallows. Did I mention the cardamom? And the cake batter? Yeah. Foodie, sweet, and full of cardamom. Great throw and wear length.

I swear I've smelled this before. It's a very citrusy rose water and lavender with hints of sandalwood. ... Wait, is this Gap's Dream? Or was it Gap's Om? Heck, I can't recall which one it was that smelled more floral. I think it was Dream. But that's what it reminds me of. 90s, teenage girlhood, and both a bright fruity floral and soothing. Honestly I might have to get more then.

Tea roses, clove, and a whiff of soap. It's a very clean rose blend scent. Good throw and wear length.

Strawberry, creamy ice cream goop, and a whiff of cake and fog machine smoke. This smells like a sweet strawberry ice cream with enough fog machine smokiness to keep it from just being a sweet strawberry cream scent. Medium throw and wear length.

... Florida Water is that you? This smells citrusy, bright, full of ginger and a whiff of spices, and its just immediately comforting? I was feeling all sorts of out of sort, but not anymore. 10/10, need to buy more.

Toasted pumpkin seeds and thick, smoky rosin.

Birch tar, tobacco, bergamot, ochre musk, and petitgrain.  Tar, tobacco, and musk. This one is a dark musky blend. Masculine to my nose. This smells like naughty sexy times with a Krampus. Good throw and wear length.

No additional scent description.

Crushed peppermint over vanilla cake. It reminds me to a foodier version of Lick It With Consent. I sort of am really digging this. Medium throw and wear length.

Dark violet, moody flowers, whiff of air. This smells like it could be a kissing cousin to Midnight on the Midway, sans the food. Just more atmospheric plum skies and flowers in the wind. Good throw and wear length.

Bergamot, citrusy Dorian and a whiff of lavender. This one is basically a more citrusy and vanilla Dorian to me. Good throw and wear length.

Flan and vanilla batter. It does smell like a super custardy vanilla flan. Medium throw and wear length.

Gingerbread, pumpkin bread, and whiff of coffee. This smells like a comforting fall/winter blend. Foodie, average throw, good wear length.

Blue cotton candy wisps, popcorn, whiff of pretzel and fruit punch. This one morphs into a fruity popcorn blend. It smells like candy and junkfood, and if you're into sugar blends, give this one a whirl. Medium throw and average wear length.

Pomegranate, tuberose, and a whiff of fig. This one is a creamy floral and pom blend. Good throw and wear length.

Guava, sugar, and bananas with a whiff of ylang ylang. Fruity, bananas. Medium throw, low wear length.

Mangoes, strawberry, whiff of honey, and star anise. This smells fruity, but underneath the fruity flesh and skin, is a deeper spicier base. Beware fae fruit, as it is not just fruit. Great throw and wear length.

Funnel cake and Snake Oil. I can't typically wear Snake Oil, as it turns into some sort of vanilla plastic funk. In here, the plastic bit is contained, so it makes me think of a whiff of plastic toys, which actually goes with the funnelcake and the incensey snake oil musk, which just screams summer carnival. It makes me nostalgic for last year's summer. Great throw and wear length.

Okay, so first off, do not hoard these. Use as soon as you can. I basically got a color that looked more like watermelon sugar than a bath full of blood. I got a sort of sly musk and a whiff of dragon's blood. Very moisturizing though.

Honeysuckle, peach, and a whiff of amber. This smells delicious. Warm, amber peach. Good throw and wear length.

Black plum, lavender, and something that smells like oudh to me. Great throw and wear length.
