[No additional description provided.] The hemp and moss combine with the dead leaves so I end with something very green and almost tomato leaf like, with a base of dirty frankincense. Again, not really a dead leaves blend. More like autumn in a dying garden patch. Good throw and wear length.

Silken white musk, king mandarin, lavender bud, peony, lilac, red musk, and red currant.

Pomegranate and autumn apple with tea roses, red musk, a bouquet of pale grave flowers, and a winding sheet of white sandalwood and dusky vanilla. Crypt Princess starts off as roses and pomegranate heavy. Some of the apple, sandalwood, and white flowers peek through after a few minutes. It dries down to a dark, fruity, very femme blend. Neither Crypt King or Crypt Queen worked for me, but I find Crypt Princess to be much more wearable. Dark, gothy, pom.

A keening cry of rebirth: green fig, Atlas cedar, oakmoss, labdanum, tobacco absolute, and white honey.

Fear of Loud Noises Christmas crackers detonating like mortars: cinnamon-soaked black musk. [Please note: cinnamon perfume contains cinnamon. If you have sensitivities, please pass on this one.]

Fear of the Color White Dry white tea leaf and a hollow, sharp musk.

Are you an inquisitive nibbler, or do you commit to the full experience before knowing what’s inside? This decadent scrub is a feast for the skin as well as the other senses, wrapping you in the aroma of a visit to your favorite boutique chocolatier. (No tasting!)

Strawberry pulp, ti leaf, and candied fruits.

I am exhausted by current events and worldwide so this 13 is just the warmest, cheeriest goddamn thing I could come up with right now. I need cheering, and dollars to donuts, you probably do, too. Five chocolates, ranging from sweet to smoky, with white sugar, brown sugar, cardamom, coconut, vanilla marshmallow, hazelnut, candied pralines, and Madagascar vanilla.

The Tomb of Zai, Sidney Sime. Frankincense, myrrh, cassis bud, Moroccan rose, and lily of the valley. Rose, resins and a hint of lily. This is a warm resinous blend, with a brush of cassia (which adds a note of spice) and a hint of rose. Pretty.

An olfactory phenomenon: a vintage musk, black suede, Tuscan leather, and aftershave with sandalwood, white cedar, and Italian bergamot.

Golden amber, apple-crushed oudh, blackened apricot, sweet musk, saffron, neroli, and gilded leather. Apple oudh and neroli on wet, and then I get the oudh, apricot, musk on a leather background. Monster throw while on wet thanks to the apple oudh. Oudh is not my friend.

Bourbon-soaked tobacco and oak paneling. Goodness, why hasn't anyone reviewed this yet? Antikythera Mechanism, is that you? I get mainly woodsy tobacco and bourbon. This one is a strong blend - dark, deep, and woodsy. It's very gender neutral woodsy in my mind. Honestly, it smells like a gentleman's club to me - all that wood, the bourbon, the tobacco. Good throw and wear length.

The Mexican Long-Nosed Bat is a versatile critter, building her roosts in caves, vacant buildings, hollow trees, or sewers. She loves agave nectar, pollen, and participating in a polygynandrous mating system. If the cavern’s a-rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’! Agave nectar, mushed guava, and wildflower honey. Guava, sugary nectar and a whiff of wildflowers. This one is a sweet, sugary guava. Fresh, fruity, sugary.

Your skin will drink up this dreamy concoction that evokes memories of romance and secret celebrations.
-
Bourbon vanilla, cardamom, amber cream, and star anise. Cream, vanilla, and a whiff of cardamom. This is mainly a vanilla cream on my hair. Very creamy. Medium throw and wear length.

Black leather and honeyed patchouli.

A peculiar mineral formed from ulexite and borax. A scent celebrating Furnace Creek in Death Valley, where Colemanite was first found and designated – scorching hot, dry, and dusty. Purple sage, desert dandelion, indigo bush, creosote, and magnificent lupine dusted with sand and borax.

Night’s decay: starry musk melting into blackcurrant, black oudh, black roses, and blood-red maple leaves.
