    The Magician

    This is warm and woody and feels very classical. I am not getting much in the way of copper aspects, though. Too masculine for me, but I can imagine it being quite popular with the guys!

    Crimson Peak

    This is mostly slushy, minty snow on me. After it has dried down completely, there is a bit of a darker aspect, probably the wood and decay, coming out. It is pleasant enough, but would probably have been better as a room spray.

    On Halloween Atmosphere Spray

    This is the smell of a medieval witch's kitchen in full swing before a halloween banquet! It is mainly apple and cake, with a little earthiness from the patchouli. Very atmospheric and nice!

    Cushing Manor Atmosphere Spray

    This is all booze. Warm and nice booze, to be sure, but still….I don't want my room to smell like a bar

    All That I Possess

    This is mainly myrrh and leather on me. There is a hint of the clove, and a bit of woodiness as well. Very rugged and masculine, in my opinion. Not something I would wear, but it fits the concept well.

    Between Your Heart And Mine

    This is a woodsy rose, basically. It is sweet and fresh - at first I was wary of the wood, because woods can go really dry on me, but this one isn't. Its a very lush scent. Overall it feels very old world romantic and reminds me somewhat of The Waltz from the same collection. I would wear this if I'm feeling fancy. But as I already have The Waltz, I don't think I will need a big bottle of this.

    A Specific Aberration

    This is very pretty! It's heavy on the frankincense, with the white flowers giving it a nice, slightly powdery glow. I'm not sure I'm getting a lot of ambergris, actually. It feels like something that would be perfect for warmer spring days and summer, but the chilliness of the white petals could also work well for winter. The throw is good, but it doesn't last very long on me.

    Lucille's Room Atmosphere Spray

    This is very pretty and a little melancholy. It is strongest on the lilac and violet, with a nice, slightly earthy, moss background. It is very light and doesn't have a huge throw.

    The Golden Hour Atmosphere Spray

    This is so beautiful! A pure, warm amber that envelops you in, indeed, a golden light. It's pretty straightforward and has good throw.

    Palmyra

    As other reviewers have commented, I am not getting any cinnamon from this, which is good for me. This is leather-forward, and it reminds me a lot of Perversion, so I'm guessing the leather is the same as in that one. All the notes blend together well to create a warm blanket of scent around you, reminiscent of warm desert sands indeed. The throw is very good, and the staying power is sort of average. I needed to reapply in the afternoon.

    Scent Recs based on your PERSONALITY!

    For gender-fluid I would definitely recommend some slightly masculine, but not too much, blends like Dorian or Jareth. Because David Bowie A ray of sunshine makes me think of bright blends like Alice and Katharina, as well as bright, orangey scents like Tweedledee. You might also like Zephyr. Sorry this is a little fuzzy new to the forum my quoting with iron itself out eventually after awhile Of those Zephyr and Tweedledee are in my wish list, but not the rest. Been meaning to add Dorian as so many rave about that one and maybe a little sexy will be good Even though I have zero interest in being sexy to other people, I do enjoy some of the sexy blends I like if they really evoke a character, and I think both Dorian and Jareth do. I'm not sure there are any asexual-themed scents, except maybe Sherlock Holmes

    Snow White

    2015 version. A classic! This one is less floral than my other bottle (2008 version), and it verges on plasticky on me, but luckily just avoids it The snow is the usually sweet, slightly coconutty kind with a teensy bit of flowers in the background, but I would in no way characterize the scent as a floral. It's just a kind of atmosphere. The throw is really good and it lasts a long time on me.

    Père Noël

    In the bottle this is all orange, a slightly bitter, but not unpleasant orange. On the skin, however, the candy and anise really come out! I don't get any lavender as such, but the candy feeling is definitely there. The orange goes to the background and mingles nicely with the anise. This orange is different from any other orange note I have ever tried. But I do like it. Unfortunately it is very faint on me, so I have to really slather it and reapply throughout the day. But even so, I think I will get a lot of use from it, so I am glad I took a chance on a bottle.

    Les Infortunes de la Vertu

    I get mainly leather and incense, with a backdrop of flowers - they are very faint, though. I have now tested this a few times, and it seems to really grow on me It fits the concept very well; it is a kind of kinky, creepy scent, and if you're afraid of the florals, you have no need to be, because they are firmly in the background, at least on me. Throw is pretty good, and staying power is good too.

    Witches' Kitchen

    This seems very well blended because I have a hard time distinguishing between the different notes. It goes on kind of clean and a little sharp, but quickly dries down to a nice beeswax-resin scent with a little whiff of rum. The throw is decent but not super good; it stays close to the skin. Wear length is pretty good. A nice evocation of a witch's kitchen indeed!

    Can anyone recommend scents for me?

    If you like the fresh rose in Whip, and also like tea scents, I would definitely recommend London, which is tea rose with black tea! You might also enjoy Vixen, which is orange blossom with ginger and patchouli - the patchouli is quite soft on me, not grimy at all Leanan Sidhe is a soft grassy wildflower scent on me, so you might want to check that out if you like grass scents. Zephyr is citrusy with light musk and florals and might be up your alley. I will recommend Vasilissa because it's one of the creamiest floral blends in the general catalog, even though it has star jasmine. For what its worth, I'm not getting any jasmine on my skin, so you might want to give it a go. Mouse's Long and Sad Tale is a vanilla-sandalwood-sweet pea and one of my all-time favorite creamy blends. It shares the sweet pea note with Reflected Vulva, although they are very different still. I hope you find something new to love

    Hooray for another asexual on the boards (I'm asexual too, or at least I have never seen a reason not to think so) Anyway, on to recommendations! The Lab makes many wonderful snow scents that you need to try if you love snow. There are three distinct kinds of snow notes that I have been able to identify; there is a sweet vanilla-y snow note, which can be found in Snow White. Then there's a minty snow note, like in Snow-Flakes. And finally an ozoney snow note that can be found in the general catalog scents Kumari Kandam and The Old Goblin. They are of course easier to find than the LE's I listed, but at least Snow White is available right now in the Yule collection. If you love Halloween, you might want to try out Jack, which is the general catalog pumpkin scent! Other than that, for me the quintessential Halloween scent is Samhain, which comes out every year in October. Since you like roleplaying games, you might want to check out any of the blends from the RPG line - you can even layer them to create the character you're playing, for example Lawful Good Elf Fighter

    If your top 5 scents are... Then try these!

    If you enjoy the dirt in Zombi, you might also like Penny Dreadful! The light citrus in Embalming Fluid always reminds me a bit of Zephyr, so you may like that too. A lot of the Mad Tea Party scents share the same vibe, so if you like Eat Me, you can try for example Drink Me, The Knave of Hearts, or Queen Alice. If your fiancé likes John Watson, he may enjoy some of the other citrusy colognes, like Villain and Whitechapel. Lightning reminds me a little of Luminous Phasmatis, which is an equally beautiful ozone blend, but that one is not general catalog (it's a Yule from last year). I hope you find something new to love Ah! My fiance says both Villain and Whitechapel sound awesome! I've actually tried and liked Zephyr, I have a lot of favorites :B I think I'll take a look at the other Mad Tea Party scents, and is Luminous Phasmatis rare? If not I may try to get some in the sale/swap threads! I don't know how much Luminous Phasmatis there is floating around, but I don't think it was ever very popular at the time it was released, but you can definitely try the sales and swaps forums

    Licorice Whip Atmosphere Spray

    This is like Le Pere Fouettard without the cake! Soooo good. The licorice is the strongest note, with the leather taking a backseat. It is a perfect little naughty scent for the holidays.

    Ghosts

    I get a little of all the listed notes here. The violet is not too strong, the chrysanthemum is not too sweet, and the incense is not too smoky. It is very well blended. It reminds me so much of The Sorceress, without the lavender. I will need to do a side-by-side test of them, I think. I really enjoy this!

    Young Edith's Bedroom Atmosphere Spray

    This smells just like a little girl's room with lit candles and maybe a little bouquet of flowers on the window sill. It's quite heavy on the beeswax, but it is a lovely, slightly powdery and sweet beeswax, so it fits in very well. This was the CP atmosphere spray I was most excited about, and it really lived up to my expectations. I may need a backup bottle...

    I immediately thought of Jareth when you described being androgynous! Because….David Bowie! It's also a slightly masculine, but ultimately unisex blend that is just really badass. The new Crimson Peak blend Fairy Tales and Lies might be good for your desire to live in an inner, whimsical world Any of the blends from the Ars Moriendi line can be considered macabre, but my own personal favorite is Haunted. Welcome on board! I think you sound like a very interesting person

    Candles Moon

    This was the first Lunacy I ever tried (the 2010 version), and I realized I forgot to review it. It is a very comforting and wintry scent. The milk and blackberries are the strongest, with the chill of the snow in the background. I'm not getting a ton of the candle wax, but I'm sure that's what's making it so snuggly. Whenever I wear this I always get surprised at how much I actually love it. If you enjoy sweet winter scents or the lab's milk or blackberry notes, you might want to try this!
