Musky honeyed cream. This is sweet honey, and honestly, this smells like a blend that should be used for Venusian purposes. It's like you're beautiful, golden, and a goddess at the same time. Men and women smell you and bow themselves to you and weep to touch you. I'd recommend this as a seduction blend if you can do BPAL honey or BPAL cream, or BPAL musk. If you can, then go get what you want.

Tomato Leaf and a whiff of fresh cracked peppercorns. Unfortunately, it dries a bit soapy on me. It's fresh, green, tomato leaf soap. IMMA GONNA CRY UNDER THE TREE OF DESPAIR(tm).

Strawberries and fruit loops. This smells like strawberry cereal. Or Fruity Pebbles, with extra strawberry. Sweet, sugary, cereal.

Wild grass, mosses, lemon myrtle, cinnamon myrtle, and bush nut.

Comforting grains, honey and oats over an amber base. This one smells like the bounty of harvest, golden grasses and golden honeyed oats. Lovely.

No additional scent description.

Tahitian vanilla, coconut cream, orris root, sugar cane, and white sandalwood.

Pipe tobacco, leather, mid-century aftershave, a belt of bourbon and a grassy smear of mud from a fairway divot. Clean grass, aftershave, touches of tobacco and bourbon. This smells like a clean grassy traditional men's cologne. Good throw and wear length.

I am amping the hell out of the tahitian vanilla. It is lush, sweet, and tropical vanilla. This actually is giving BBW Brown Sugar vibes. Which means that mr. zee_zee will fanboy over this. Great throw and wear length.

I mainly get a gorgeous slightly smoky sandalwood with a whiff of chocolate sweetness, but its mainly sandalwood. Medium throw and wear length.

Ylang and yalng fades into a sweet resinous patchouli. This is one of the most accessible patchouli blends I know. This patchouli as a perfume. Good throw and wear length.

Bergamot and orange blossom. It's a sharp citrus blend and then it basically disappears from my skin after 30 minutes. Medium throw, low wear length.

Smoky cocoa and a whiff of amber. It's slightly ambery, slightly sweet, and a whiff of chocolate. More wearable than I anticipated.

A holiday creation of Lilith’s! Squished strawberries and gingerbread with a touch of French vanilla and mint. Sweet strawberry candy, whiff of vanilla and gingerbread. It's a ton ton ton of strawberry candy on me. For those of you that like candy blends, give this a whirl. Good throw and wear length.

Maple cinnamon churros. I ain't mad. This one is foody, cinnamony, and doughy. Good throw and wear length.

Musk strawberries and musky vanilla. This is a sultry fruity vanilla blend. It stars off as fruity summery and dries down to a musky vanilla. Medium to good throw, good wear length.

Unclean and full of hell-fire: a pulsing infernal amber, shot through with lilac-blue, bloodshot and blazing.

Jasmine, honeysuckle, and a whiff of plum. Sweet fruity florals. Medium throw and wear length.

Neroli, amber, sweet citrus top notes. This one is mainly an orange blossom sort of blend on my skin.

Vanilla, amber, coconut and shrill tuberose. Medium throw and wear length.

Smoky soft lavender, wisteria and whiffs of iris and a bit of sandalwood. It's calming, contemplative, and a little sad. Medium throw and wear length.

Iced jasmine and white gardenia with a sliver of white musk, winter tuberose, lavender, yellow tabac, and white cedar.

How should the wind be periphrased? Thus: call it son of Fornjót, Brother of the Sea and of Fire, Scathe or Ruin or Hound or Wolf of the Wood or of the Sail or of the Rigging. A burst of wind and flame hurling over the space-dark sea: opoponax and black oudh alight with red amber, dragon’s blood resin, and neroli. Dark opoponax, salty spicy DBR, and a touch of amber. This one smells like dark thunderous sea on fire. Salty. Firey. Totally very Viking-esque. Medium throw and wear length.

A mother's unconditional love, soul-deep compassion, and destiny: date plum, myrrh, black mulberry, black poplar, black fig, cypress, cassia, and Pan's sacred pines.

Husky patchouli and bitter clove in a soap swirled with bonfire ash.
