Deceitfuldescender

I amp Cherry blossom I guess. Drydown is mostly cherry blossom softened with a touch if creamy milkyness.

This is my favorite of the dragon con perfumes this year. A bit out of balance wet, but so nice dry. Marshmallow often goes weird on me, but this is a nice melty marshmallow, vanillay with a touch of honey over ripe peaches and a whiff of mint. Unique and delicious without being overwhelmingly foody.

This is nice, the musk and coconut come together to make a creamy and light red musk with drops of fruity currant and a "pop" of steel which gives a coolness but is not heavily metallic. Pleasant but not something I need multiples of.

The mint and ozone are very strong in the bottle and wet, but within maybe 15 minutes this dries down to a lovely, not too sweet vanilla with an undertone of musky mint. Pretty much a perfect not quite foody snow scent.

This is a surprise win for me, in the past I would never have tried this. So glad I did, may actually be my fave so far. The frank, myhrr and amber provide such a smooth base, so classic and almost warm but the pear and apple top notes give some sweet coolness that make this both snuggle and refreshing at the same time. A revelation!

Disclaimer, TKO did not work for me and I never figured out why. This scent is much more what I wanted out of TKO. A sweet herbal lavender backed by a dreamy and completely unplasticy vanilla with just a twist of kind of sweet coconut. Not suntan lotiony, not astringent or too herbal. Pretty wonderful, and once the feels quotient is added in I think I will need some back ups.

Could be anything, from a new hobby, new genre of book, new healthy way of living, new fav brand of whatever... I am interested in starting to make my own liquid soap, for cost and sensitivity (like body washes, hand soaps). I have started baking bread this year, and I am totally in to it.

First lace I have retested that is just not my speed. I can do some roses, but apparently tea rose reads unpleasant to me on my skin. It is dominant, mixed with nice sort of strawberries and cream scent. Not a winner for me.

Pretty sure I am testing the original version. At first while still wet I hate this. Redhots, so spicy. Then while I am not paying attention it dries down to sweet cinnamony sugar, kinda foody. Very pleasant. Red hots are all gone, just nice sweet cinnamony spices.

Dry down is mostly spices, some touch of pumpkiny baked good. I love gourmand but some scents overwhelm me but this does not. It is darkish and almost incensey on me. Odd but not unwelcome.

So aged this is actually very lovely. Almost all these notes would normally be really awful for me but they have aged to almost even working on my wonky skin. The Pink sugar seems predominant because it is a sweet but not over sweet scent. I cannot pull put the other scents, but it is sort of a golden rosy flower with some earthy grounding notes that give it a surprisingly complex but well blended dry down. Not sure if I should keep or not, it is actually quite lovely but not my normal scent. Edit to add: the rose and violet are actually quite tame

Reviewed the wrong scent u.u

So this is actually very lovely, a very chocolatey cake and frosting scent with just enough something extra (the stout I would guess) that keeps it from being cloying, or too foody. I am not sure why this seems to make me a bit headachey, which is a shame because it fills a nice niche in my collection but not sure it can stay.

Man I want this so badly to work but on me it goes blue raspberry blow pop. Not really any strawberry marshmallow cotton candy or sprinkles alas. Maybe. A hint of the strawberry marshmallow. But really mostly the blue raspberry. May be destined for swaps.

Pink. Definitely smells pink. Almost fake strawberry or cherry or something with a white cake made pink. I appreciate it as a slightly different cake scent for me. Kinda just dries down to pink cake ‍♀️

In the bottle this is banaaaana, but dry down is the cake from cake smash with banana. Long dru doen is pure vanilla ice cream. I enjoy all the stages, so probably a keeper.

My skin chemistry must despise this. On dry down, cherry or strawberry chapstick. That is it.

So, Eat Me does not work on me as I recently discovered. This dries down quite different. For me it is very honey heavy, kind of polliny. With a backdrop of cake and currants. I actually quite like it and I was expecting not to. I think this will be excellent as we go into the fall.

Definitely marshmallowy, definitely wooly (a sort of odd fuzziness to the scent), definitely musky. Pretty pleasant and I will likely keep the bottle but do not need to seek more.

This dries down to a sweet but not oversweet raspberry jelly with only a little of some kind of pastry. I quite like it, really but my skin eats it right up. I think I will keep it for now but not sure about the long run.

On drydown I get mostly a pleasant, no headachey incense with just a little almondy something. Could be cookie. This actually smells quite good, an unassuming blend that is sort of comforting. Worth keeping.

Dries down to slightly buttery marshmallow with a tad of sugar. Sadly also comes with a plasticy note which while almost makes the scent believable, might make it unwearable. Also may have an undertone of baby powder? I will retest but might be for swaps.

This is a lovely, very cold apple, heavy on the snow/mint for me. A pleasant scent but dries a little masculine on me. Off to swaps.

Much like Mango this takes the dry down to get nice but is a not particularly sweet but definitely orange scent. A little perfumey, but not in a headache inducing way, more a makes it complex enough to be wearable in a way king mandarin never was on me. Does fade quickly though.

Surprisingly wearable form of mango, sweet but not cloying. Almost floral, edge of almost perfumey. Very good, definite keeper.
