Deceitfuldescender

This is delightful. A sort of cakey, not too spicy, very gentle gingerbread that has been spun into candy floss (similar to cotton candy). This is somewhere related to Midway (not a dupe but in the same family) but with gingerbread instead of funnel cake and no taffy. 
Somehow manages to not be overwhelmingly foody? Not super sweet? This isn’t like a cake scent with frosting that makes your teeth ache. This is very understated.

Throw is extremely low and staying power seems lowish too.

This scent is both confusing and SO cozy... I don’t even.

It is mostly au lait that used to live near coffee, so you sometimes catch a lingering tendril. 
However, this is laid over an absolutely indescribable sort of cuddly, cozy, soft and fluffy scent. Assuming this is the wool blanket, it is incredible. 
 

Not a huge throw, but good staying power. 
 

It is not super foody - not very sweet, more a feeling than a scent.

I don’t know. This scent puzzles me but I also love it and have zero blind bottle regrets.

After this has settled for a while this is an extremely pleasant blend. The wild rose is truly beautiful and you need to know it is NOT a normal rose scent. It is light and airy and not too sweet. Everything else sort of becomes a supporting background. It is an experience of being outside in the fall before first frost has come, without any dead leaf in it.

Try it.

This continues my streak of being able to wear SO blends, just not SO.

This may be my favorite iteration yet.

This is a rich, not overly sweet, but definitely sugared, gingery gingerbread. And then it is deepened by vanilla and spices and a sort of muskiness. 
Honestly if Christmas smells like this, I wanna be Christmas.

This is definitely strongly related to Black Lace. First whiff I actually thought it was BL. Buuuut there. Is a dirt note under there, subtle, and I thought it would turn me off but naw, it is good. And a touch more cognac, not really that much more “boozey” smelling to me, nust the note is stronger. Otherwise, it is a pretty similar scent. I enjoy BL so I might keep this around too.

So on me this is similar to Antique Lace but with a silverish feel instead of aged yellowed lace. It is something freshish but not necessarily green or citrus or anything I can pin down. Also not with any kind of cool or snow note.

Antique Lace that isn’t Antique. I can see this being VERY popular.

This was a real skin chemistry tragedy for me. Cotton is there and then there is JASMINE. Basically all JASMINE.

Bummer.

So once upon a time I longed for a rose scent where rose did not bully every other note into terrified submission.

This is not that blend. Fortunately the rose is not the migraine type, but it is the maniacally laughing world takeover type. Somewhere, far in the background, is the incensey carcass remains of Snake Oil. Honey (which normally amps on me) and lavender (poor sweet lavender) have both been devoured whole, without a trace.

So, I will probably pass this along.

Edit to add: Wait there was supposed to be cotton candy here? Ahahahahahahaha rosewater makes a mockery of sugary confections.

So this for me (unsurprisingly) is basically all sugared tuberose. Florals of most types seem to amp on me.This is definitely sugared but not foody at all. Next is the white musk, it is almost a crystalline musk for me actually. Pretty sheer and very airy. Then, faaaar down the scent, are the lavender and mosses. Pleasant and way better on me than most florals, will probably keep my decant, but no need to upgrade to a bottle white florals are not my normal thing.

So this translates a little weird on my skin. Mocha hot chocolate with a topping of buttercream and a dash of coconut cream. Maybe some bitter cocoa and cardamom sprinkled in. There is a feel that there is cake somewhere but mostly this is like a really delicious drink.

Honestly I quite like it and will keep my partial bottle. It just was not I expected.

So I do not like masculine as a term for scents, but the pine makes this smell like a “more” masculine Dorian spiked with a touch of extra lavender. So pine, Dorian and some small lavender. I do not get the bergamot at all strangely. 
I cannot decide if I like this or not. Strange scent, definitely unique.

This started out as (and sometimes dips back into) cherry chapstick territory. Which is confusing because this dried  down way different at will call.

The red musk does behave and the brimstone is truly just a little poof, barely noticeable except this faint edge.

It does smell like either strawberry or cherry cotton candy but deepened by the musk and pepper into a more adult scent than strictly childish one.

Love it when it doesn’t go chapsticky.

I must amp honey because this is 90% delicious medium amber colored honey (clover I think, not wildflower) with just a hint of some kind of crusty white bread behind it. It reminds me of when I bake fresh bread in my bread machine and we all eat it with honey on top. Pleasant and nostalgic. Definitely keeping my decant and considering a bottle.

My kids also discard the crusts for me, so Puddin’ has my sympathies.

This is so baller. Definitely candy corn or a similar high sugar candy (definitely a very pure sort of sugar) though, really smells a lot like candy corn.

Snake oil is equally strong to the candy corn bite (which is weird bc when I tested at will call, the candy note was stronger) and has the tings of sharpness fresh snake oil always has on me. However there is enough snake oilyness that makes it clear the vanilla and musk and spices are going to absolutely go famously with the candy corn note.

This sounds like a weird combination but is really sort of hypnotic. 

This is indeed very “green”. Slightly sweetened fresh herbs (some almost minty, pennyroyal maybe?) that do smell sunwarmed (not sure how to explain it except there is some kind of note that is warm without being spicy. It is not resinous I do not think.) I however do not get much, if any, dew. I was hoping for a slightly stronger aquatic. The ti leaf is in there sort of wrapping the herbs up without smothering them. Edges towards cologne but does not tip over the edge into that territory. Pleasant, atmospheric, mood scent. Sort of soothing. I will likely keep my partial.

Description is spot on, deep dark amber that feels almost spicy (like red hot cinnamon but also no cinnamon all at once? Such a weird sensation) with a touch of blue lilac. Wet the lilac is very recognizable but on dry down it takes a back seat to a very strong willed amber.

This is very perfumey from the amber, but if you love amber, this is for you. Only a little floral and for me seems not to be migraine inducing.

On me this is an ultra sharp lavender with another sharp overlaying herbal note (mugwort I assume). On late dry down it softens a little but really this is a less sweet lavender than I generally like. If you enjoy that hard hitting lavender or herbal scents, this might be for you.

This is unbearably foody on me. The goats milk and marshmallow musk absolutely dominate and make it smell like some sort of insanely sweet creamy baked good. The goats milk is clearly goats milk, and it is musky with a foody background that must be the marshmallow musk.

I think if I got the tea or the lavender I could wear this, but apparently I amp the crap outta goats milk. Swaps swaps swaps.

Definitely get the crisp breeze, it is not overly cologney. On top is a smidge of the wild rose surrounded by the sage, sugarbush and mugwort. I get zero lavender, very little leaves and zero berry. Nice, sort of atmospheric. Not sure how much I would want to wear it. Ill try again before swaps

So it seems like my skin sort of eats this. But when I seem to get it’s a very delicate cotton candy and buttercream scent with what I suppose is blood musk (in the same vein as, but different than, red musk.) Red musk does not work on me well most of the time but this stays nicely tame under the sweeter elements. I can see a tinge is strawberry maybe, but strawberry is really faint if in there at all for me. I think the vanilla blends into the frosting. I am also not sure I get the lavender. It is quite nice though and I don’t personally find it busy on me like the previous poster. Nice enough to keep my partial, scratches a not quite foody itch. 

This is almost exclusively rosewood (not rose, a soft, not amping, so far not migrainey rose-ish note) backed by a very tame and not super dry sandalwood. I don't know what palo santo smells like, and I can barely detect the lavender at all. I loved this scent at will call and tbh I am still pretty keen on it. It is definitely a ~mood~ scent and not for daily wear I think, but "divine stillness" is a pretty good encapsulator. It is very calm, very peaceful. No riotous notes shoving each other around. 

If you want to like rose but cannot normally make it work for you, give this a whirl.

edit I looked it up, palo santo can be incencesy and that is somewhere around the same level as the lavender far in the backdrop. There is a slight touch of incense. 

So the snake oil fresh is sharp on me (it generally always is) and hopefully it smooths out with ageing as snake oil is apt to do. However, laid over it is exactly perfect caramel apple. Like really. Fresh apple and sweet (but not overly sweet) caramel. Honestly I'm not even sure this is very foody. Like it is sweet but not tooth achingly sweet. A little confusing, totally wonderful. I cannot wait to see how the caramel apple lays over aged snake oil.

Unf, so glad I took a chance on this. Whatever reads as cumin to others reads more like cinnamon to me. It is the same one as in one of my favorite oils, Pais de la Canela. So this is basically the desert version (normal version is like tropical jungle).

I get a dry heat (sandalwood?) on which sweetgrasses touched with sage dance upon...and then just a sprinkle of this non foody cinnamon. I really enjoy this and it is unlike anything else I have. Exactly like a desert Pais de la Canela.

So frustrating because on paper it looks like it should work on me, but my evil skin chemistry messes it all up. This comes through as a cologne with a citrus topper. Faint salt mixed with what I assume is ouhd. No rose, and not sure the other notes are peeking through for me either. So cologne. 
 

in the bottle this is beautiful and I may keep for scent locket. It is algae (a sort of sweet and Savory greenery) peppered with a little salty water, some citrus and non foody sweetness that sort of rounds our the scent. Like really lovely. It is just my stupid chemistry.

if you are a fan of non traditional aquatics give it a try.

Always yes.
