This is different from the regular Suck It. It does smell a bit darker, but I wouldn't have guessed "boozy". The cherry does manage to stick around on my skin, instead of it getting sucked up immediately. However, it ends up smelling a bit more artificial than regular Suck It. I think the apricot ends up changing how the cherry is perceived by my nose, rather than being another element that I can smell. As for cherry lovers, it still smells wonderful when it's wet. I think it would make an amazing atmo. It just doesn't work on my skin, and I feel like it's different enough from the regular Suck It to justify having this bottle in your cherry collection.

This did not smell like what I was expecting. I think the musk ended up making it more perfumey than gourmand, and it just didn't sit right on my skin. It ended up feeling like I was trying to smell the candy apple while it was still wrapped up in plastic, holding it with a hand covered in smut.

The pink pepper is why I decided to blind bottle this. I really need to remember that I don't enjoy orange blossom; to my nose, it reads as "too green". In the bottle, I can smell a bit of the pepper, mostly the orange blossom, and the tiniest hint of lemon peel. On my skin, wow, that orange blossom takes over. The "greeness" slowly calms down, and somehow opens this watery pathway for the pepper to slowly come forward. This is also evoking a weird scent memory that is ultra specific, I doubt many will be able to relate. This reminds me of swimming lessons at the Olympic-style pool at the local community college when I was little. Even more specifically, the smell when facing the drain, and there was a slight breeze; so it's blowing the chlorine, wet children, remnants of sunscreen, and the SoCal (Orange County) orange blossom smell that would get carried on the wind. It eventually winds down to reveal the pepper, but it's still got that hint of green that doesn't sit well with me. And the lemon peel adds a "cleanness" to this, but isn't lemon to my nose.

The reviews really sold me on blind bottling this. Surprisingly, in the bottle, it didn't impress me much. It read as just "overly sweet". On my skin, the musk came forward, and the pumpkin sugar started showing off it's spices. It remains surprisingly "light" for something with brimstone. I guess that gives it an edge that keeps it from smelling too immature. Overall, it's good. I would wear it when I'm feeling Halloweenie, but I don't want anything to scream loudly. Just a nice pumpkin sugar in the background.

This initially goes on like the chocolate from Jólabókaflóðið, with a hint of a coldness under it. Sadly, there's an ozoney slush note that has a hint of aquatic that comes forward, and overpowers the chocolate. This doesn't work for me.

This is one of the few ouds that doesn't go stanky on me. I agree with the first reviewer. It's more of the savory element of the pecan with a hint of spices. I wouldn't attribute any pie notes to it.

This is amazing! I initially get the bread with the caraway, rosemary, and salt. It smells like a delicious, fresh focaccia just pulled out of the oven. On my skin, after it dries down, the herbs really sweeten up, and it's the most comforting scent. It has definitely moved away from smelling like bread, and it's just sweet herbs. Totally a win!

It starts out as watery chocolate. I think I pick up the caraway the most. Luckily, it's not too mossy on me. It's leaning on the herbal side more. Fennel and basil make their way out more as the chocolate recedes. There's still a slight sweetness to it, which makes me think more of the masculine side of a men's cologne that is super herbal. I think this would smell terrific on the right guy. Label art.

Ah, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this before. Although I love the 13s, they don't get normal wear from me. Strangely enough, this smells so very similar to Jiggery Pokery to me. And it took me a while to place it, but it must be the pink pepper that is doing the same sweet, spicy, airy thing on my skin. I love it! No chocolate, none of the other notes. Exact replica of Jiggery Pokery on me. And for reference, this is the label.

Yeah, we need to update the list. This helped me narrow down a bottle from 2014, though, so kudos for that. I have another bottle that has a topless woman dancing with a skeleton behind her. The number 13 is black and in the bottom right corner. ETA: Nevermind, it's the August 2010 bottle that I have. In my brief research to figure out the bottle that I have, here's a few more to add to the list. 13 February 2015 - shattered mirror 13 March 2015 - blue background, large black number 13 in script font? 13 November 2015 - violets 13 May 2016 - beige background, people on fire with one person on left forking the flames, number 13 in white? or maybe it's this image? 13 January 2017 - 13 October 2017 - orange background, large black number 13 (which is what I have) or black background with large number 13 in typewriter font? 13 April 2018 - song birds 13 July 2018 - gold horseshoe with red ribbon on top, jockey on horse jumping through horseshoe, red number 13 near bottom of horseshoe, gold text with "good luck" 13 September 2019 - dark blue background with white number 13 13 December 2019 - brown 13, dancing kitties with top-hats 13 March 2020 - static gray background with large white number 13

I received a goblin squirt from some nice forumite. This makes me sad I missed it from the TP's Etsy page when it was there. It's a nice, light pumpkin, heavy on spices. I can see the comparison to Antique Lace with pumpkins. Hopefully we'll see this again in another few years.

Celebratory and cozy is so apt for this. It's such a happy holiday scent. Mulled wine in a warm room full of party people. This is closer what I was expecting Gluhwein to smell like. The spices are what standout the most to me. I must amp those over the booze. I agree about the short wear time. I think I got about 4 hours from this. It's still a very happy 4 hours, so I think it's worth hanging onto this decants for the holidays. I would love a candle that smelled like this.

The cypress wasn't terribly apparent to me, I wouldn't have guessed if I didn't read the description. I agree, it's a sexy pomegranate. I can see the smoke in the title making it slightly darker (read: sexier), but as someone who is averse to smokiness, it doesn't have that quality. This is a definite winner.

Whoa! This is so much. There's definitely an inkiness to it. I feel like I'm back in my friend's bedroom in highschool. Ball-point pens and heavy incense, along with a body musk with a hint of smokiness caught in her hair. The oudh is in the background, threatening to ruin things, but it seems like the musk and opoponax are speaking over it. It starts to sweeten up ever-so-slightly, thanks to the myrrh, but I feel like the terebinth overlays a coldness over it. This is heavy and dark. This definitely gives me some witchy vibes. I don't think I can do this justice since this is so far from my usual library of smells. I wanted to try something new. This is very evocative, though. I can see a lot of people really digging this, possibly even turning it into an atmo spray.

Having watched the BPAL channel on Youtube, Tom and Galen were so right, except I'm not getting "it smells like mummies". This is initially sharp. Like, the brine from green olives and pimentos. And, surprisingly, if you've had papyrus growing in a koi pond in your front yard, and had to trim it down during the summer, there's the fresh greeness from that. Like a spa "greeness" or "clean" mixed with grass? I wouldn't liken it to paper, but I guess the woody/green/dry combo fits that narrative. Once it dries down, the sharpness has receded to the back, and the sweetness of the cardamom is now mixed with the brine water. Which sounds like it would be more aquatic, but it's more of the pickled sweetness of the pimientos, I think. And that sounds horrible, too, but it somehow has an air of money and "I spend a lot of time sipping on martinis". I'm guessing the cardamom and balsam bump it up into "expensive perfume" category, too. I guess leaning into the oriental category. But, overall, clean and green on me.

I am the worst person to leave the first review, so please take this with a grain of salt. I don't know what I was thinking, considering I'm not usually a fan of green things. I think the green cardamom and tobacco flower were calling to me. Initially: ew, this is so green. So helpful, I know. ? Then it becomes this smoky, husky, slightly green thing. Interesting! A morpher on my skin, I wasn't expecting that. Then it starts to smell like the cool goth kids wearing a heavy leather jacket and smoking something herbal from afar. This is really surprising. I feel like I might be amping something, but I'm unsure which of these would smell like a green smokiness. First thought is the bay laurel, perhaps with the cinnamon husk. Or maybe the grassy vetiver. I'm really not sure. I'm not picking up any of the green cardamom, saffron, or tobacco flower. They are being drowned out by the smokiness. An interesting trip, that's for sure.

Spicy, sweet coffee. The pumpkin takes a little while to come forward. I really don't get much beyond that, but I don't have much experience with Misk U. It's somehow deeper than Irish Coffee Buttercream, and spicier. Pumpkin isn't quite as obvious as I'd expect. I'd go for Pumpkin Latte if I wanted coffee and pumpkin in equal measure. Overall, it's nice.

Blood Pearl!

This is strong! I feel like the sillage lasts 3-4 hours, but it's really in your face the whole time. I feel like it's got the pumpkin from Pumpkin Spice Silky Bat HG, with the black coconut from Young Man with Long Hair HG. I took a risk because I was unsure of the black oudh. This behaves rather normally, except for the shouting at the top of it's lungs, and getting into mine with a faintest sniff. If you want a dark, sweet pumpkin that is loud, this is for you.

This doesn't even have 2 pages of reviews yet?!? I also can't believe I haven't put in my review yet, so I'm not helping. This is one of my favorite apple blends from this year's releases. It's so clean, fruity, and refreshing. These notes blend so well together, I wouldn't be able to pick out any particular notes. Maybe green apple. My skin chemistry does nice things with pink pepper, kinda like a musky, powdery thing that I really enjoy. I don't feel like cedar, juniper, or lemon are overpowering at all. Sadly, it doesn't last very long on me. Maybe 2 hours. It becomes a close-to-skin scent after the initial blast. But this does feel like an apple that you could wear year-round.

I think this review nailed it. It's sweet, perfumey apples, berries, blue, and waxy. It gets a little less perfumey and the cream becomes more apparent. It's definitely elevated from a little kid scent, but I can see it being very evocative for a lot of people.

Reading the previous reviews, I feel like they all nail it from different perspectives. Like, I could point to parts of each one, and totally identify with what they notice; yet, at the same time, put all of them in a tornado, to get a different spin (ha, pun intended), and I get an upside down reflection. I don't even know how this is one of the more confusing Snake Oil blends. Cherries are usually so simple. Wet: this feels like a black cherry on vacation. Like, visiting Morocco, sultry, slightly sweating from the heat, maybe sipping on some warm wine. That's mostly the evocative part. But it smells like a spicy cherry with a bit of sex in it. If you didn't tell me this had Snake Oil in it, there's no way I would have guessed. Weirdly enough, at the same time, this also kinda smells like a fruity wine or liqueur that has sat out too long and gone off. My nose is getting wires crossed with sexy vs. "something has gone off". Sexy is definitely towards the wet phase, and perhaps overly ripe fruit is more prevalent during drydown. It finally settles into this bright cherry (hogtied) in the backseat of a weird Snake Oil taxi. This is definitely a weirdo on me, and I don't know if it's the cherry doing it's usual disappearing act, or perhaps simple syrup stealing the show, and I'm inexperienced with simple syrup on me.

@murqmaid I know that others will chime in with more detailed descriptions, so this is just a quick answer. Most of them smell like snow, but even then it can vary. Either slushy snow or chilly, minty snow. Sometimes it might be mixed with some ozone to give it that freshly-fallen, nothing outside, in the middle of a forest vibe. And one year's frostbitten collection can be different from the next years. It really varies. And how your nose perceives the snow note could behave differently than your skin chemistry treats it. Experiment!
