@doomsday_disco nailed it! Sparkling floral tea time! I was really hoping the earl gray would make it wearable for me, but the florals are too loud, and the white tea is too astringent.

I think my skin amps the orris butter since I get mostly that. It does initially go on red wine and cherry, but neither those or tobacco are enough to save it for my skin. I can see this smelling amazing on the right person, but it's not me.

This feel very woody and foresty. I think I'm picking up the same notes as the above poster. Oddly enough, my nose interprets it as rosemary. It smells like I walked headfirst into a giant rosemary bush. I'm not mad about it. I've been wanting a rosemary heavy scent for a while. It will be interesting to see how this wears on for the day.

Hunter’s Moon: White Pumpkin and Bergamot
torikitty replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I don't pick up much bergamot at all. I agree with the spicy, meaty pumpkin note. I guess being white pumpkin this has more of a sweetened, musky note? This reminds me of a spicier version of the atmo spray White Pumpkin Extrait. While it's disappointing that I'm not getting bergamot, I've still happy to have something that seems mostly White Pumpkin. -
Dirty, dusty tobacco bubblegum when wet. It's hilarious that that description works so well. Bubblegum eventually goes away, but I'm not enjoying the khus here. I don't recommend this for the more foodie or gourmand lovers of tobacco, despite the initial bottle whiff. I want to like this, but either the brimstone or the khus becomes overpowering. Or maybe the weed? I can see this being really hot on a guy.

Wet: goes on sweet blueberry candy with a hint of cream. Cardamom is lingering every-so-lightly in the background. Dry: my skin ate the fruit! I'm left with a vague laundry-esque cardamom. It's nice, sits close to the skin, but I was wanting more blueberry.

Fuzzy Peach Sweater and A Mug of London Fog
torikitty replied to Seajewel's topic in Event Exclusive Oils
I agree with alyelle. I think she nails the description. I get more of the laundry soap smell than peach or tea. -
Surprisingly, this isn't as boozy as I thought. I get more vanilla or vanilla cake than anything. Maybe a hint of apple or something fruity in the background. It's nice, but not what I'd reach for when I'm feeling boozy.

Haha, I almost bought an imp of this because I forgot to review it. Found a bottle in my stash! I think I was so unenamored by this initially, I figured there's no way I would fall for it again. Floral chalk is the first thing I smell. I think Zee nailed it with minerally vanilla. I don't get cacao or tobacco. It's kinda like an angry, old lady with some floral perfume stomped down a ridiculous marble statue. I am impressed that the chalk/rubble note came through, but it's not for me.

Chewing Little Bits of String
torikitty replied to brwnpaperhag's topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
Given all of the reviews, I thought I was going to love this. Unfortunately, it smells like creamy white flower to me. The marshmallow isn't strong, and I think I'm amping the cotton, with the honey right behind it. I wish I was getting marshmallow tea. I don't get a hint of lettuce. This would smell amazing on the right person, but that is not me. -
14 years later....I wonder where this decant started. I can see how the star anise would have started out much stronger back in the day. Now it's just a base for the peony and floral notes. I'm not getting a lot of vanilla. Overall, it's very subtle. I can agree with the rest of the replies about it being a creamy vanilla floral with a slight bit of anise.

I agree with the first few reviews. It leans on a floral-sweet note initially. It's simple and delicate, yet very well balanced. As it warms up, I agree with Little Bird above. Not a keeper for me, but I know those folks excited about wool notes will love this.

FORMULA FFSK7: Strawberries and Motor Oil
torikitty replied to Ina Garten Davita's topic in Unreleased Scents
I agree with donkehpoo, this reminds me a lot of Strawberry Moons. I didn't smell rose until I read the description. Everything else is so light, it just balances the strawberry so it's not too candyish. The strawberry collector in me wants to keep this, but my nose doesn't feel this is unique enough. I'll test this out a few more times. -
I don't get any of the notes in here, aside from bread. It's definitely very comforting, and reminds me of the bready Lilith from a few years ago: Loaf. I was expecting more sweet bread, but it came across more like the herby bread from Loaf, with a hint of sweet in the background. I am amping the bready note, and none of the anise, almond, or cardamom. It's still nice if you enjoy this kinda thing, but not the desserty bread I was hoping for.

I bought 3 bottles because I liked this so much, and I can't believe I didn't review it yet. I agree with all of the other review. Creamy without being foodie. The fig doesn't stand out much to me. The clove/patch elevates it to round out the creaminess. It's got a low throw, so I feel like I have to slather it on. It doesn't tend to stick around for very long, so it's a good base for applying something else in the afternoon.
