I love this so much. I finally used up my imp and wanted to snag a bottle before this round went away and am so glad I did. It smells like a moonlit magical garden. I look forward to wearing this on the first night of each full moon. Beautiful.

Jean Miélo White musk, tobacco flower, white tea, Tunisian neroli, and blonde leather. Still no reviews? Ok, my mediocre one will have to do. This is beautiful. I love all of the notes here so I had to buy a bottle. Very well blended - the tobacco flower is wonderful here with the neroli! The white tea gives it a refreshing, almost delicate feel and the leather is not the star...just a nice bottom layer to meld with the white musk and ground this higher pitched blend. This reads as more of a Spring/Summer perfume to me, but for some reason I find myself planning to wear it for our first day of snow, whenever that may be. I really, really like this now and I'm looking forward to seeing how it ages. Another masterful blend! ETA: this is becoming stronger even with such a short amount of aging! Very refreshing and comforting at the same time.

Oooh! Slushy, snowy evergreen notes combined with frosty chocolate! I have reached for this one quite often this month and love it.

I have nothing helpful to say but I wanted to exclaim how much I love this perfume and there is nothing else like it. It is genius, expertly blended and perfect for the days surrounding the full moon. I love this so much.

I love this so much. It was an 11th hour purchase and I am so glad I took the chance. I thought, I have plenty of red musk and amber blends, this one probably isn't gonna wow me. Well, it did. I wonder, am I the only one who smells a component of Black Opal here? Seriously. If I huff, about 5 minutes after applying, I smell a similarity and it makes me smile. No, they aren't similar scents (obviously) but there's a fleeting moment of oooh I know that from somewhere. Anyhoo, this is gorgeous and I wasn't planning to review but wanted to add my 2 cents. 🙂

I have worn this quite frequently since it was released and it is becoming an old friend. I smell all of the notes, in turn, as they are listed, which is pretty neat. The cedar doesn't amp, but when it warms up on my skin it turns just a bit musky and one of the green notes goes just a bit powdery and it ends up being quite beautiful. Very forest floor like without the bright conifer needles and mushrooms. I agree with everyone who has used the word mossy. 🙂 I really like this. The drydown reminds me of Theoi Nomioi but with moss instead of rock. They both have a musky drydown.

Honestly? I think this is the best oil I've ever smelled. I truly wish it was available for sale in imp or bottle form. Truly stunning. Polished woods (but not 'mahogany', I guess the teak) and gritty, beautiful, glorious patchouli. There's a lift to it as it dries which I can't describe other than a lift. This is fantastic. Eta: It is the clove. I rarely like clove, ever. It is the airy bit giving the blend that lift. I need more.

Early first test: this is beautiful. Usually with smoky blends they come on strong and settle with age, but there's barely any smoke, just a hint which seems to support this ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS Fir needle, which seems sweeter than I was expecting. If you are a conifer lover (as I am), this is worth trying. Right now (two days after arrival) it is an instant love for me. I actually hope it doesn't change because I love it. ETA: Well, the wispy smoke has turned into a champaca and the fir isn't as sweet as it initially was, but I still like it.

For anyone that has been curious, this does indeed have an icy, slushy evergreen note in addition to the not overly sweet marshmallow. Those notes are balanced nicely. This smells nothing like Snow White, at least none of the 6 vintages that I've worn! Eta: I love it 🙂 Eta2: I'm pretty sure the evergreen note is Spruce dominant. Eta3: I have a feeling the marshmallow will become stronger with some age. 🙂

I was hoping that the honey would be quiet. This would have been amazing for me if the honey had been omitted. I need to just give up and remember that, no matter how amazing all of the other notes are, the stinky honey will ruin it every single time. 😭

There's honey in here. It isn't listed but I know that awful scent when I smell it. I'm not getting anything that smells like red musk to me. The berries are drowned out by sickly honey. The only reason I went for this bottle was because there was no honey listed. Disappointing.

This is very interesting. I just got it in the mail and it has travelled far, so this is just a first impression. This smells like a sweet cola frankincense with a bit of patchouli underneath. This isn't a smoky frankincense, it's a glowing frankincense. I wonder how much this will change as it settles? I would be happy if it stays exactly the way it is. This is the frankincense perfume of my dreams. Glorious. This just continues to bloom on my skin!!! Wow. Eta: 4 Dec 2021 - Totality has smoothed out even more with age but I agree with my review, simply gorgeous and perfect to wear during the Dark Moon/New Moon. Eta Nov 2022 - now I smell the fig! This has become one of my favorites. Eta Apr 2024 - wearing for the Solar Eclipse in Aries - this has quieted way down, throw is non existent. Beautiful glowing fig-frankincense-patchouli.

I just got my bottle today, and it needs time to settle from its crazy journey. In the bottle all I smell is cranberry but I guess it is actually pomegranate, lol. It is very juicy, sweet and prominent. I am looking forward to testing this over the next few days! On skin: all pomegranate! Velvety. After about 15 minutes I start to smell a bit of the amber. Definitely red velvet. Eta: The black currant and pomegranate are melding nicely and this is turning into a creamy blend. Interesting. I'm looking forward to trying this again soon. Eta 2 April 8th 2022: I have worn this so many times in the past year and it is just such a gorgeous, velvety, dark maroon scent. So rich and deep!

Strawberry marshmallow! I've been wearing this since June (ish?) and I just love it. It wasn't very strong when I first got it but it has become stronger with a few months of age and it is just gorgeous.

Creamy honeysuckle with just a hint of cherry blossom on the very edge of the scent. Beautiful. I'm actually thankful I don't smell any plum. I just realized this has amber cream. No wonder it reminded me of Golden Sunrise!

I will skin test this later but I wanted to say that the incense here reminds me very much of the incense in All Souls. I cannot wait to try this.

I love this. It is very similar to Pliny's Phoenix (so, definitely Frankincense and a very nice one) but the cacao smooths any sharp or rough edges here and, instead of smelling it, the cacao is just supporting the best aspects of the cinnamon and frankincense. This is lovely.

The cardamom is most prominent with the gorgeous balsam peeking out just a bit and then all of that beauty is smothered by what must be the papyrus note. Ugh. The cardamom and balsam would have made an amazing duet but the watery papyrus just doesn't belong. Eh.

The fresh green leaf note + ambergris alone was not what I was hoping for here. I was so excited to smell vetiver, carrot seed and cardamom, saffron, tobacco or any of the notes listed with the leaves and I get none of that here. I don't think mine was properly blended before bottling. What a disappointment. Eta: The cinnamon, bay and ambergris have become most prominent now with a touch of leaves in the very beginning. This is one of the most masculine scents I have ever smelled. It is not masculine in a foresty way (I love those) but in a cologney way. I am missing the notes I was hoping for.

I have no idea what's going on here but it is lovely. Reminds me more than a bit of Armani's Mania for women - the original black cap not the awful newer one.

JASMINE. The day blooming sort. It does calm down after about an hour and boy does this one have some throw! Oof. There's also stuff going on underneath that's very nice but I can't tell what's what under the JASMINE.

I bought this, tried it and then put it aside to let it age a bit. It has mellowed into such a gloriously chewy tonka tobacco! I feel like I can almost smell the glowing aspect of frankincense hovering just above the tobacco and tonka and it is just divine. I will be wearing this a lot this winter. Yum.

LEATHER. 10 minutes later I start to smell the lab's blackberry note. I bet the leather will soften up with some age. Right now, its just too overwhelmingly black leather with a touch of berry.

This has been one of my favorites. Thick raspberry jam and doughy pastry. Can't be beat.

I was really happy to see this perfume oil and it is truly beautiful. The tulsi was very prominent at first but now I can barely sense it. It just gives the very white pottery type scent a green lift. The first time I smelled mitti attar was in 2004 and I will never forget it. This is a beautiful scent but I'm not picking up much, if any, mitti attar. The white sandalwood isn't as sharp as it usually is on me and I bet the mitti attar is helping to smooth it out. This was the perfume I was most looking forward to and it doesn't disappoint. Lovely, and truly unique.
