"The tomb in the daytime, and when wreathed with fresh flowers, had looked grim and gruesome enough; but now some days afterwards, when the flowers hung lank and dead, their whites turning to rust and their greens to browns; when the spider and the beetle had resumed their accustomed dominance; when time-discoloured stone, and dust-encrusted mortar, and rusty, dank iron, and tarnished brass and clouded silver-plating gave back the feeble glimmer of a candle, the effect was more miserable and sordid than could have been imagined. It conveyed irresistibly the idea that life – animal life – was not the only thing that could pass away."

This one is a metallic, stone and whiff of greens. This smells like you took CK ONE, went to the cemetery, sprayed the damn place with CK One, and got a wispy gothy ghost baby that smells like CK One but gothier, stonier, and much more metallic. Very gender neutral but definitely toward masculine leaning. The fact that more people aren't raving about this is a crime.

Grave soil and mouldering leather, crumbling marble and tarnished gold, crushed incense resin ground to powder beneath a heavy boot.

Leather, roses, soil, and a whiff of incense. This smells like a mix of leather and roses to me, old leather, old roses, and dirt.

This is the final Full Moon of winter. The call of the crow signals the end of the frost, and their scent, of vervain, black violet, white musk, Terebinth, and Chinese cedar, is brushed by the last cold wind of winter on their wings, and the scent of evergreen boughs touched by the season’s final flowers and the first blossoms of spring: wintersweet, green-barked dogwood, primrose, snowdrop, and lenten rose hellebore bouquet.

Smashed apples and sawdust in a collapsing barn. Apples, hay, and wood. This one smells actually just like an apple/barn scent in the best autumn way possible. Crisp apples, wood, and a touch of hay. Medium throw and wear length.

The color of a raven’s wing, gleaming like an oil slick: cistus labdanum, oakmoss, black vetiver, Italian bergamot, chocolate oudh, French lavender, violet leaf and petal, and sweet aged patchouli.

Wet cherry blossoms, muguet, and crystalline white musk.

Spinning merrily at the foot of Sacré-Cœur, this is one of twenty permanent carousels scattered around Paris. Just down the road, Lilith watched street hustlers play Three-Card Monte and ply the old gold ring scam. A swirl of color against a rainy backdrop: golden amber and blackberry oudh with pineapple, tobacco absolute, cinnamon leaf, bay, sweet vetiver, and red apple pulp.  This is a whirlwind of a blend. I got red apple, blackberry, with touches of tobacco and amber. And as it dries, I got a whiff of cinnamon and bay, and smoky vetiver. This is like the ups and downs of a carousel. Golden, wonderful, and a delight. I think I need a bottle.

Sunny amber, coconut milk, squished grass, lavender oil, a chomp of lemongrass, and a poof of dandelion.

This is a warm, sweet, and sensual oil that radiates a soft, rose-tinted charismatic glow. It is a poem in a bottle, a tender ballad, a girdle of gentle glamour; this is an oil of epic romance, of nobility, compassion, and valor – of love that inspires story and song. Includes: rose absolute, organic rose petals, jasmine absolute, bourbon vanilla, powdered vanilla bean, lemon balm, honey absolute, benzoin resinoid, butter C02 extract, helichrysum, and strawberry natural fruit compound. Please note that this oil is not vegan.

To welcome Black Phoenix Trading Post into the fold, we are celebrating by turning BPTP’s notorious 2005 Naughty or Nice Inquisition imp into a proper perfume. Ok, fine. It isn’t really a lump of coal, but brownies and coal are vaguely similar in color! This is the truly sinful scent of a sticky, thick, dark and rich fudge brownie.

Experimental Blend Cinnamon I have to say that the aging has really mellowed out the cinnamon. It is still the predominant component. Additionally, Snake Oil of this age typically smells like vanilla plastic on me, but this time its mainly a smooth cinnamon vanilla on me. Still hella strong. On the drydown, I get a whiff of musk. Good throw, average wear length. Experimental Blend, unidentified type I think this is a decant of the grass type variety. I get mainly a grassy blend, a whiff of mint, and some vague SO-type vanilla musk going on. It mainly on me smells like alfafa and grass. Whatever grass SN Beth used in this was amazing, and I would definitely love to see it come back if possible.

Protection against the evil eye. No additional scent description provided.

Vanilla heavy caramel, with a whiff of chili. But heavy sweet chewy caramel. Good throw and wear length. Definitely for the foodie lovers out there.

This is a super aggressive pink grapefruit with notes of yuzu. AND I LOVE IT. This is the grapefruit single note blend of my dreams. All of them gloriously grapefruit fruity - pink, juicy, tart, and GRAPEFRUIT COLORED. I don't give a damn if this lasts or not, its been twenty glorious minutes and that's all my attention span can cope with at the moment.

Fresh pumpkin puree seasoned with brown sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and clove baked into an anise seed crust. This is the perfume version of this BPTP candle. Puddin' posted this on ebay this year, and I was the happy auction winner. I loved this candle. I can say that this has aged beautifully. It is mainly a spicy clove, with hints of sugar and nutmeg, and a whiff of pumpkin. Mainly though, its clove. Good throw and wear length. It's a great autumn blend, and on a cool and rainy spring morning, it can make you think you're in the Fall.

Warm honeysuckle, whiff of cream and amber. This is a honeysuckle blend. And everything you could potentially want. Great throw and wear length.

I offer you some smut and a few lines of love and longing in the hopes that we can keep our affirming flames burning during these dark and tumultuous times: white rose, muguet, white sandalwood, ambrette seed, vetiver, and smoke

Strawberry sugar and a whiff of lime zest. Honestly, this smells like pink strawberry candies. Very sweet, very sugary, mondo throw on me.

Salty lavender that sort of has a 20minute stage as a bit of a lavender dryer sheet, but ends up as a very herbal lavender blend. If you're looking for a sweet cuddly lavender, this is not it. This is bracing, herbal, clean lavender. Good throw and wear length.

No additional scent description.

Cherry blossoms, red sandalwood, pink rose petals, and cognac.

I don't typically review scents as I'm decanting, but this smelled so good, I used the pipette leftovers. As I was decanting, this smelled like the best blueberry muffins you could hope for. Or blueberry pie filling. Blueberry + some sort of baked good, definitely. Now that I'm skintesting, the blueberry is very much front and center on the wet stage. On the drydown, more of the cardamom cream starts to pop up. I end up with a cardamom cream with a whiff of blueberries. I still smell delicious. Medium throw and wear length.

Violet and cedarwood. This is a melancholic scent. I think its the violets. Medium throw and wear length.
