BLACKBERRY! then quickly shifting to black currant. nothing else really, which is a shame as I was REALLY hoping for some leather...though it feels like something is underneath supporting the black currant I can't pick it out at all that being said it's really nice. Not too fruity. Good throw. Would recommend trying. It's not something I would reach for to wear with regularity, but I may keep my decant to dry a couple more times, more than just a wrist-test at least

Red Mandarin, French Lavender & Juniper
Roogna replied to zankoku_zen's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
REALLY.STRONG.SOAP that is all. and I often like these notes in other blends -
Ooooh i like this! I agree it's *almost* fruity in the bottle, and maybe a touch on the skin, but it's definitely not foodie or pinpointable to a certain fruit The leather is very nice (I'm a leather lover), soft and snuggly under the incense just wearing it I'm aware of the leather more, but a closer sniff is much more incense. almost red musk later on? reeaaally good throw. I just dabbed a little on one wrist and it's very noticable *edit, but it's only that noticeable for 3 hours maybe...the fades waaaaay down (have to sniff wrist)
-
as always when I try leather scents I hope for lots of leather. wet: COOKIES (gingerbready/snickerdoodle?) dust and hint of lavender follow up quick dry: it has soured (possibly a sour leather note) with a sharp astringent note, which overwhelms the cookies (though they are still there) it does settle down fairly well to leathery cookies *edit hours later...it actually wears quite well. it's a warm, fuzzy, comfort scent
-
Biting and acrid. Very "yellow" and almost medicine-y. The chalk, however, is spot-on. Soft, powdery, and just a hint of something floral or "perfume-y" (but not "baby powder").

I have to be careful with pumpkin scents. I often amp them (though not the strongest thing I amp) to the point of not enjoying. But every now and then I find a good one. This is a good one. Though I may amp it just a little too much for my personal tastes. I get mostly "warm" pumpkin (borders being foodie but isn't quite) and smoke (not bonfire). They hay mixes in nicely - enough that i'm not sure I would pick it out by itself, but knowing it's there, my brain latches on. I adore many of the Lab's leather blends. This one doesn't stand out as a "leather" scent, but my nose says it's there, like a grounding element beneath the other notes. Mostly smoky pumpkin. Very Autumnal. Makes me think of going to the pumpkin patch and going on a hay ride in a cozy sweater
-
very dry graham crackers what? yes, you read that right maybe some marshmallow burnt onto the graham crackers and super sweet tea/milk but the dry graham crackers takes over all and makes it a very foodie scent
-
fir that leans towards pinesol on a deep sniff, petitegrain (orange), incense, maybe rusty metal, it sours as it dries, low throw, slight burn to my skin
-
3 squirts in my long hair, hair draped over my shoulder, and I can barely smell it initially I got a really nice cinnamon and/or clove, it's still there, but the throw is very low that's the main note, but I think I get some leather, maybe but super faint, maybe some anise but I literally have to hold the hair to my nose to smell anything
-
as soon as I read zz's review above, I smelled the jasmine, but I also smell magnolia? maybe hints of metal...
-
sad mine has no black leather, no coffee either it's a sour leather, very "beige" with a hint of sweet? definitely more like some of the other "old book" scents, but more sour after a solid 30+ minutes the sour dies down and it becomes a bit more "velvety" leather, which is not bad, but this is a lower throw than the sour part. and it doesn't last more than a couple hours

candy candy candy candy CANDY like when I went to the candy story in the mall in the early 90s pure sugar with some flavor - the pressed sugar like candy cigarettes and gum, old but still has that powdered sugar coating and very very VERY far underneath is a touch of leather (black? brown?) which makes it almost dirty but the candy overwhelms again right after I sniff it lol
-
initially a bright pretty tart, plastic, floral. Very "powdered candy". Quickly SOURS, like rotten food that's been "blackened" and adds blood but still retains a "powdery" aspect then it turns to poopy diapers??? uh...
-
huh, I get "vintage perfume" right out of the bottle as it dries I get more "dried flowers" and "forest floor", which is the chypre. It has a solid throw. no leather at all no vetiver either though it could be argued that the chypre has a leathery quality to it
-
Initially my nose scrunched at the sourness of this scene - sour leather. But as it dries that dirty, grassy divot comes to the forefront. If I sniff closely I get hints at what I believe to be "aftershave", which is bright. Sadly, this scent quickly attacks my throat, irritating it and causing me to cough. had to wash it off
