um, i get NO leather. it's "perfumy" and sparkly? very light and almost crystaline edit, after a few hours becomes a little leathery, very skin-musk leather, which I guess makes sense, low throw

Record of Women’s Treasures of the Way of Elegance Day and Night
Roogna replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lupercalia
almost nutty, sweet, toasted, and peppered. Yes, coffee bean on close sniff, but mainly champa incense, cardamom, and pepper -
sweet in the way Japanese sweets are, red bean custard is underneath the ube (almost nutty)
-
smells like decorative soaps from the 80s, floral/rose. NO leather i amp rose anyway, but took a risk for the leather....but even in the decant it's just soap

Strawberry Moon: Blackberries and Coconut Cream Lotion
Roogna replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lotion
I've tried a few lotions now and am very happy with the texture, as well as the throw and the staying power of the scents. this one is definitely berries and cream, though I don't get any coconut soft with staying power, I notice it when my hands move near my face -
Very light and dainty and clean (like soap on skin clean), very low throw also green ....yes, becomes very green as it wears, plant-like soft, clean, green. ...not what I was expecting
-
cotton candy when wet, settles to a sickly blood (very horror gore blood), med/strong throw (tested on skin)
-
VERY banana when wet. Fades very fast on drydown, banana lingers close to the skin and becomes more candylike but not fully. Some earthy mushroom. Fades even more and loses banana, vaguely nice but faded to almost nothing way too fasst on my skin
-
musk and brimstone with a cologne edge, maybe ink underneath when wet. Goes brimstone for a while then settles very musky, dark and reddish
-
green plants, electric/acid/ozone note adds brightness, hint of floral sweetness. No leather no soil

GG: Very soft and clean, without being a drier sheet. The lavender comes through as a solid base. I can't really pick out the other notes on top of it. The whole scent fades even more shortly after applying, though I think I can pick out a hint of moss at that point. DT: Also very soft and clean, like an air freshener. It's definitely a different (sweeter) lavender and the vanilla is very fresh as a nice compliment. Again, I can't pick out the other notes, though there is something more to it than lavender and vanilla. This is lighter and brighter than GG, with a stronger throw. As the often-token goth kid, I was looking forward to trying these two perfumes just for that nod (though I would argue Eeyore is just depressed and not goth). However, I was not expecting this to smell so freshly laundered, like my blacks are now a faded gray and very very clean.

Oaty, roasted, and toasted. As it dries the milk note comes out strong, which bothers me on some level. And a touch of vanilla. It's a very comfort-warm / foodie / breakfast kind of scent. As it wears, I get more cotton, with a subtle sweetness from the vanilla. It does somehow fit the image of a stuffed bear sitting by a sunny window while breakfast is served. Though I can't say it's something I would want to smell like, I know some BPALers enjoy scents like this a lot.

Going on wet it's a heavy head of honey, slight fizz and woodsmoke flitting through. As it dries it becomes very fizzy on close sniff, while staying very "honey" in general. "Fizz" isn't a scent directly, but it still comes through as that, very effervescent, with an almost citrus hint to it. The fizz does fit with bees buzzing. The main honey note lasts all day, through a shower, and into the next day, but does become cloying.

In the bottle I get cardamom and rice. On my skin the throw is quite low. I can pick all the notes out while wet, but as it dries I just get rice. The intent seems to be to capture some of the bear (through foodie notes) along with his thoughts on winter turning into spring, but I'm confused by the rice.
