Inspired by anointing oils used in the philosopher’s time after partaking in public baths: orris root, ambergris accord, frankincense, olive blossom, black fig, and marjoram.

A gift from the goblins – thirteen autumnal notes deepened by bitter cacao: red sandalwood, Himalayan cedar, pine needle, green cardamom, saffron, nutmeg, pumpkin rind, black fig, myrrh, tobacco absolute, guiac, cognac, and oakmoss.
-
Graceful, regal, elegant, and cursed: golden sandalwood and liquidambar, cardamom, coconut milk, jasmine sambac, white petal rosewater, and labdanum.
-
Clove smoke, champaca incense, plum velvet, and hairspray.
-
A promise in the shadows: black molasses, cinnamon bark, and glowing amber.
-
Deep, rich, earthy notes swirled with vegetal musks, sugared vanilla bean, brown leather, and dark spices.
-
Now with more snoot. All the sugared incense you can shake a wing at with double the leather and a dollop of thick, inky black musk.
-
Sheer musk and an exhale of evaporated milk.

[No additional description provided.] So again, on wet, the pumpkin reigns supreme and I can smell a whiff of light chypre. As it dries, the pumpkin recedes to the background, and you get this light perfumey citrus chypre. It's very gender neutral, and honestly makes me think of sunlight through fall leaves. Bright, autumnal, cheery. Very atmospheric. This is for when every day is Halloween. Even if you have to go to work, in an office. Oh, and it's summer. Medium throw and wear length.

Sleepy lavender bud, the memory of warm milk, a splinter of bone dust, and a clawful of upturned grave loam.

An ode to the BPAL bat: lavender-dusted auburn fur, a drop of hops, Roman chamomile, hay absolute, ambrette seed, and sun-warmed leather.

Honey biscuits, warm auburn fur, and a squished chocolate nougat bar.

Smoldering spiced oak boughs and pine pitch crackling with golden sap.

A plastic cauldron filled with green tea-infused white chocolate, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.

Strangely sinister frumenty: oatmeal, heavy cream, butter, salt, and a whiff of brimstone.

With a curl of woodsmoke.

Sagacious and playful: rose petals and champagne swirling with Italian bergamot, neroli, orris root, peony, violet sugar, and blackberry syrup.
-
Rye stalks, corn husks, hay absolute, tilled soil, and German chamomile

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on. White grapefruit, tea leaf, white ginger, orange blossom, jasmine, honey myrtle, and lime. Wow. If this isn't the first review, mods, please feel free to merge. I really really like this scent. I think out of all the GC blends, this is probably my favorite. I get a lot of grapefruit and ginger and something that smells like lilies, which might be the combination of orange blossom/jasmine/honey mirtle. There is a tiny hint of lime at the beginning, but really, this for me is grapefruit/ginger love. I used it yesterday with 1/2 of Lush's Pop in the Bath and it made the water ultra-moisturizing. Today I tried it for the scent itself, and I love the ginger/grapefruit I get from it. Love it.
