The leather that i found most similar to Haunt's Winchester was Western Diamondback. Probably equally hard to track down.

I have to go against the trend here, and just say skip the scents.

 

I love smellies, and the heavier the better. No scents have ever really bothered me, sometimes I wouldn't like them, but scent h as s never caused a physical reaction in me.

 

Then I got to spend quality time in the hospital for knee issues (almost 4 weeks in the course of 3 months). I'm not sure what happwned, but I woke up one day and couldn't handle any scent of any kind.

 

One day a gal came in to get my lunch tray and I had such a reaction they had to call some kind of code which brought all sorts of people running because I couldn't breathe. The culprit turned out to be a bath and bodyworks pocket bac. The kicker was that I had yhe same kind in my purse and it had never bothered me.

 

I kniw that's not the answer uoi want, but heaven forbid somone have a freak reaction like mine, and I would think you could be in serious trouble for violating policy.

 

Just my 2¢. Intetestingly enough the only thing I could tolerate the smell of was Ugh massage oil. And I craved the smell of that!

My tastes are changing but I've been passing over my heavier loves lately for bright, bubbly and citrus.

 

My favorite for super sticky weather is Death of the Grave Digger. Normally mint and I don't play well, but it works here.

 

I'm also a huge fan of Bon Viviant and Skytyping with Chemtrails.

High Strung Daisies is very pink sugar to me.

If you can find it If would highly suggest The Twisted Oak Tree, a Haloweenie from '07.

 

It's blackened oak, moss, and ivy. All woodsy and outdoorsy, but very little sweetness.

If you look on the Fraggle Rock page it says that due to the nature of the project imps are not available. You should be able to join a decant circle, though.

This is all sugared lemons for me. I love this scent. Very bright and sparkling. Moderate throw and wear length.

Sweet light and very girly. A very pink scent in my opinon. Sweet and sugary but not in a foodie way. Lovely light floral that turns creamy on dry down and stays close to the skin.

Holy Crap this is AMAZING! It is everything that I love about Snake Oil, made better with honey. This has now become my most favorite blend ever. I'm hoarding 3 bottles, and know I need to track down at least that many more. I can see wearing this every day forever, and it is only going to get better with age.

I get the creamy custard thing too. For me it is like a big steamy bowl hot rice pudding with a bunch of cinnamon.

Bleh. Not something I want to smell like. This is not wearable for me at all, so of course it has huge throw and lasts for ever.

Dark, smokey, smooth, mysterious and slightly sweet. The resins remind me of Schwarzer Mond also. Love it. May need to search for a back up.

...and less than an hour later it's gone.

So sad...

I went to prom in 1988 and BATHED in Obsession. For me Illustrated Woman would be a good choice, but you'd need to use most of a bottle to get the complete experience.

Have fun!

I would definitely suggest High Strung Daisies. It is sweet pink sugary smelling, but still "light" smelling, and is one of my favorite summer scents.

TKO is pure awesomeness!!! I wear it every night to bed, and some days because it is such a sweet comforting scent. I go through about a 5ml bottle of this every month.

Neither of those are LE, so could get them from the lab.

In my opinion some LEs to look for on the forum would be Cake Smash (Red velvet cake with cream cheee frosting), In Winter in my room (Sweet caramel goodness), Butter Rum Cookie.

Some "Holy Grail" type fragrances to keep an eye out for might be Pumpkin Queen (Hard to do this justice with mere words... Sweet pumpkin buttery yummy goodnes, but sexy as hell!) and Beaver Moon '05 (Cheese cake/red velvet cupcakes simply amazing. I always want to lick my arms whn I am wearing this one).

The other one that I have been drooling over lately is Womb Furie. To me it is very sweet, but not in a foodie way, very complex and yummy.

 

Hope some of these help.

Wet, rye bread with extra carway seed. Actually smells good, just not sure if this is what I want to smell like.

Then it goes to to a NASTY wet dog eating rye bread smell. Had I not been driving during this stage I would have been scrubbing it off.

Good thing I didn't scrub it off as the wet dog stage lasted about 15 (very long) minutes then morphed into a lovely warm dry spiceness.

Final verdict: If you can put up with the wet dog phase the dry down is worth it.

First applied it smells like straight up Amaretto. WHOA ALMONDS! Very sweet and foody.

Once dried it calms down nicely. The cinnamon and frankincense really takes over and the almonds become more of a backdrop. Not sweet or foody once dry. Nice, but I don't know if I need a big bottle of this.

 

3.5/5

Not at all what I expected.

 

Very sweet green and herbally with a little dry dirt flirting in and out of the background. I get no wine or alcohol note from this, which, in my case, is a very good thing.

 

The scent is quite light and seems to fade fairly fast, but is lovely enough that it would be worth reapplying often.

 

4/5

 

I love love love the leather in Shrunken Heads. Makes my mouth water when I smell it. Seriously yummy!
