Sweet Incense, Soft Musk, and Autumn Leaves Lotion
asterope replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lotion
A very beautiful and delicate scent. The incense and musk are the main players for me, I would guess almost a Grey musk. I do not get much of the leaf note, and can say it definitely is sans dead leaves. I think it's quite lovely, but a bit too pretty for me. It does layer wonderful with incense scents and is a softer scented lotion. -
Going to second the above comment. I, too, am a cherry hoe. Specifically black cherry. Big blast of black cherry that dries down to a slightly creamy black cherry cotton candy. Personally, the blackberry isn't standing out to me but it's not a note that usually works on my skin, so I may have trouble discerning it. LOVE. Bottle purchased.

I love this version personally. Bpals coffee note never works for me..but it did here. The coffee ice cream smells like it's melting into the cinnamon funnelcake. Instant bottle purchase.

Incense and Blackcurrant Sufganiyot Atmosphere Spray
asterope replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Atmosphere
I really enjoy this one, but there's maybe just a wisp of incense. It's all about the sweet blackcurrant that feels topped with powdered sugar. It had a lower throw against some of my older sprays, but hangs around and was lovely to fall asleep to. -
Strawberry Moon 2024: Prune and Nag Champa
asterope replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Well. This is one of my favorite duets. The nag champa is very pretty, sophisticated. I don't personally get much prune from this, however I'm not terribly versed in how that smells. I smell like a rich hippie ? it has a pretty high throw on me with medium longevity. Incense lovers should snag this one, I plan on backups. -
Oh my lawd. I am smitten. This smells very similar to house of unquenchable fire atmosphere spray from awhile back. It's clean, resin-y and the patchouli is not the root dirty kind. I am not huge on HG but will be using this as a body spray. Insta bottle.

The leather is stronggggg. I swiped just my arm and ended up scrubbing and having to wash my sweatshirt. It's a black leaning leather with a chemical undertone (my skin doesn't play well with leather so ymmv). The snake oil I do smell in there is beautiful, but, alas, the leather wins out. Not reminiscent of snakes kiss for me which I was hoping for.

Wow. I just got my decants yesterday and all have been fantastic but this one..this one may need to be a few bottle back up. No sandalwood thus far that I'm really getting, just a very pale love child of pediophobia and cognac stained sheet. It is gorgeous and will be hunted down in the future. Would pair well with hag grey hair gloss as I feel the same melancholy grey vibes.

I can't add much more, and completely agree with Poenari. This NEEDS to come back, tons of people contacted me for decants. I am such a fool for swapping off so much of this. I layer it with my perfume, and a dragons blood candle/lotion thingy. I am teh dragon. Decent longevity and great power. Will definitely get another bottle if it ever comes back, (along with some more Tombstone HG).

I ordered a decant on a whim. Cacao and I are friends, vry vry good friends But I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is. For me, in the bottle it is cacao dominate with some Sugar Skull vibes goin on underneath. Best part is? IT STAYS THE SAME BUT GETS STRONGER. This revived some love for my bath oils (they had been taking a back seat to some new lotions and such). On my skin, it is a bit foodie with no powdery dry down. Love.

Mmm, this is delicioussss. I also, get no candy cane in here. Instead, a beautiful white chocolate mingled with berry. It is so nice to know that not all berries go rancid on me. I was expecting it to be a little tart with cranberry but only just so. I smell like cookies, and that's exactly what I wanna smell like.

=/ Guise. I have noticed my nose goes against what most people say. It was terribly overpowering and I kept smelling something sharp mixed with honey. I have to agree with Balame.

Blasphemy. Many of you may say this after I write this post. My first bpal love was Sugar Plum Fairy...As time went on and skin chemistry changed (and of course, my nose) I found myself a little nauseated by the smell. But I pushed through, saying I loved it once maybe I just needed a refresher. This is in the same vein, but for me it was powdery plum and vanilla. I love plum, I love vanilla. I fucking HATE powder. I ended up having to wash our sheets. I just couldn't get past that powdery plum vibe. I let it sit for about 2 hours when enough was enough.

Open daily. Lessons in cunning, derision, and scorn: vetiver smoke and acerbic incense. WOW. I am terrible at reviewing, but this scent needed some props. I was frimped a sample with a swap, and instantly ordered a bottle. Normally I can get by on a decant, but no. This baby needed to be big bottle and nooobody is touching it... This smells *exactly* like fresh burning nag champa incense, with smoldering smoke..Which some may say "Hey, I can just burn incense", but for those of us with asshole cats, or little kids who like to play with things they shouldn't be (DEVIN MOMMY IS TALKING TO YOU) it is amazinnnnng to have it in spray form. I have been spraying this non-stop and the hubs even adores it. 10 out of 10 and all that jazz.

I do agree with the above poster, say this smells like Christmas/Yule. Beautiful pine, with snow dollops on the branches not quite weighing them down. Some surprising strong flowers that manage to bloom, just wonderful. Really need to order a bottle. Feel like I'm in WoW or Skyrim.
