Amazon wishlist: here (NOTE: I am not sure if this shows you my wishlist of books, or if this also gives you access to a separate wishlist called "Non-books." If this gives you access to "Non-books," please disregard. That list isn't especially prurient or anything but I rarely look at or update it so it certainly contains things I don't need currently. Cellar Door Fall Collection: If they still have a Once Bitten candle I'd love that. It's my fave of their Halloween scents but I'd prefer that over the soap since somehow I never used my bar of it from last year. But if they only have the soap I'll take that instead! Other scents that'd work for soap include Lavender Pumpkin, Black No. 1, and Spooky Season. Sock Dreams: Not at this time, will update if that changes. Damman Freres Tea: This site is a little hard for my poor old/slow computer to understand, so I hope I am looking at it right. Remember that I will not use loose tea, so if I am mentioning something that is only available in loose tea, it is a mistake. Noel, Jardin Bleu, Gout Russe Douchka, Bali, the Green Mint and Minty Teas, Rooibos Carrot Cake, Coquelicot Gourmand, Christmas Tea (green or black) all sound good. Paintbox Weenies: Soap or Bath Streusel in Phantasma or The Grey Hound Haus of Gloi fall? Pumpkin Butter: Blood Orange Marshmallow, Ghost Puffs, Little Hedgehog, or Spider Silk Candles: Little Hedgehog or Violet Moon Pastel Halloween/traveling during round: Pastel Halloween things are fine. As for traveling during the round, I am going to be out of town on Halloween itself, but that is just staying in a hotel in one of the nearby large cities for one night. Functional, useful fiberart: Gosh, slippers decadently lined in cashmere are hard to pass up! I do not have a Halloween Tree. However, I could display Halloween ornaments in other ways and have in the past. I do not have an etsy wishlist as I rarely if ever look at etsy these days. I might look at etsy again if needed in order to spoil my Witchee though! I would not wear hair falls. Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? Eh... I have a very nice witchy store in my town, just went there yesterday and got some black tourmaline and a room spray. I have a LOT of crystals already and currently they are just in a box in the kitchen. So if you see one crystal or trinket you think I'd really like that's fine, but as mentioned in my questionnaire, I don't really want someone else sourcing specific spellwork items for me or something. Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? No thank you. Dragon Con Redux: Plastic Rats and Dark Macadamia sound worth a try. *See below for addition* I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? For this question, usually I just say that whatever is in line with previously stated preferences would be great. Since in my original questionnaire I mentioned green tea flavored chocolate, that's still a thought, including in the green tea kitkat application. We usually also get a question about seasonal kitkats in general, so again, if it seems like I'd like the flavor, go for it! Japan also has many fun flavors of potato chips, potato sticks, etc. (I have some "Hokkaido Butter" flavored ones right now that I got from Daiso), those also sound good right now. I can update this question if I think of another specific product. Mongolian souvenirs/small things from random countries: This sounds great, actually. Custom ita rosettes/cases: No thank you. 3 fave snorgtees: 1. Correlation Does Not Imply Causation, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Black 2.TRY 2 MORE TIMES SO THAT YOUR FAILURE IS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Dark Grey Heather 3. Fear is the Mind Killer Cat, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Berry I am not a fan of bloomchic based on the one order I made from them (which was just last year, but was not a Halloween item). * I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? No thank you. * Feelings on candles/wax melts? I think I've already been fairly effusive about candles here, and I know that in my questionnaire I state that i don't want/use wax melts (though I think I refer to them as "wax tarts"). * Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? Sounds intriguing. Plenty of information about color preferences in my questionnaire. Australian goodies: If there are Tim Tams you think I might like, or any other treat that seems to be in line with my preferences, that's fine! Just no musk lifesavers, haha! As for the local Australian tea blender mentioned, it seemed like they only do loose tea, which I will not use, so I guess not! I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms: Coffee preferences are also in my questionnaire. As review, medium roast, whole bean, not flavored. Old cartoons... Thundercats? Space Ghost? Jem? hand-knit socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders? I'm so sorry, I'm not really the right audience for any of this. I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? Again, I'm so sorry, just thinking about how difficult it would be to come up with all of these specifications is majorly stressing me out. It is a nice idea but just won't work for me at this time. Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neurodivergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Now THIS is way more my speed! From the selection on the site, I like the following: rubix snake finger axolotls future is inclusive magnet infinite possibility sticker "neurodivergent shit" pen set (So... if there's other stuff at the actual store along those lines, have at it!) Ren Fest schtuff: So, I am having a bad day today and am not sure if this answer will be coherent. But, Ren Fest things in line with previously stated preferences would be great. Ren Fests usually have all kinds of things that I like and probably have described in my questionnaire or in other answers, such as candles, bar soap, lip balm (again, in a tube, not in a pot/jar), earrings, stick incense (not powder or cone), etc. I almost always buy earrings and soap when I am at these events. Thinking of other things I have usually bought while attending, please do NOT get me a coffee cup (anywhere, not just from Ren Fest). Again, I just moved, and somehow we have so many coffee cups that even after devoting an entire cabinet to them, we still have more than one box of them that will probably never be unpacked because we have so many. Sorry, tangent! Told you I was having a bad day.... *We've had multiple questions about Dragon Con goodies but the nail polishes have come out/been placed on the site since then. I really want Glaucous nail polish and it was not up when I made my Dragon Con atmo spray order, so I just wanted to mention that in case it helps you. Also, I did not answer the under-$10 and over-$10 wanted items questions in my original questionnaire as far as I remember. I did come up with a likely-under-$10 one: Halloween stickers! I don't so much mean the big plastic-y stickers people put on water bottles and such now, I mean the sheets of smaller, cheaper stickers. The Halloween stickers I have that are like that probably date from a Switch Witch round 10+ years ago and are getting pretty depleted by now. So if you have the chance to pick some up for me, that'd be nice!!! -Hahaha I just realized that I had a copy and paste error in my original questionnaire. I don't think this will be very helpful, but here is a corrected question and answer from there: Do people tell you that you act older, younger, or your age? Depends on the context I guess What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? This is actually a complicated question! For unisex tees (i.e., "men's sizes"), I usually get an L these days. For fitted/women's tees, I'm likely a 1X or 2X, whatever the size up from XL is if there is one. Pajama sizes are probably similar to women's/fitted tee sizes. In case helpful, I wear a US 18 or 20 in pants (uh, I think those are called trousers in other countries?). Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? I do like Halloween socks and I guess cats are a good bet (though other things are fine if in line with previous answers)? My absolute favorite Halloween socks are actually different colored eyeballs. I know I said I didn't like gore but I don't really count eyeballs by themselves? Like I said, I don't really need much in the way of midcalf-or-lower socks, so if you are getting me some, just one pair please! I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series... This does sound nice but probably wouldn't work for me/be my thing. I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. The paper folio for organizing writing goods actually sounds pretty nice. I would rather have the other types described than shabby chic or winter holiday. Snag Tights: I LOVE Snag Tights and have quite a few things from them already. I usually order size F. Their Halloween things always seem to sell out so fast so I dunno if you will actually be able to get me any of this though, but here goes: Psychic Cats Mesh Top Nocturne Tights Phantom Veil Tights Dot Dot Dot Tights Grimoire Tights Disneyland Paris: No thank you Lush: Harvest Moon shower gel (OMG this is my favorite kind of tea in the world so this would be so amazing!) Lord of Misrule shower gel! Snowy Mooncake bubble bar! Dracula bubble bar Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar Bewitched bubble bar Demon in the Dark soap Alien bubble bar Witch bubble bar Motivation eyeliner ...and I can always use more Charcoal facial soap! Back to the under-$10 and over-$10 question from the original questionnaire: I finally thought of an over-$10: a new bottle of Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo! I was kind of forgetting that I wear it in my hair most workdays, so of course I go through it more quickly than I do other BPAL scents. Greenwoodtree's fudge: Oh yes please! Out of the listed types, I'd pick Penuche WITHOUT nuts. For custom orders, I'd like matcha the most, second choice would be maple WITH walnuts. Dryad Teas: This appears to be another company that just does loose tea, which I will not use. If you really, really want to buy me something from this store, I guess picking out a tea trivet for me woudl be your best bet. I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? Give me some flavor ideas. How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? Spicy and sweet? Home-canned things sound great. I'll admit, I do like both tomatoes and rhubarb, separately though I think (peach would be more for my husband, I don't really like peach anything)! Rhubarb I'd like to be at least somewhat sweet. Tomato jam also sounds good, that could be sweet and spicy or just one of the two, as long as not too spicy (again, as noted in the questionnaire, I'm a Texan, so my mild spice tolerance here is probably a medium spice level in some parts of the country, though sub-mild when it comes to Thai hot or Desi hot... it's all relative!). Poesie: So again, the tea is loose tea, which I won't use. So I guess this is another one that's not for me! *Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate? Almost certain that maika is NOT my Witch based on these continued questions, but I will play along anyhow! If I got instructions about how to use an indigenous spice blend I'd try it, especially if it'd be good in something like fried rice that is improvisation-friendly. Info about chocolate preferences is in my original questionnaire, with milk chocolate being the least favored. This reminds me that no-one's mentioned ruby chocolate, which I'm especially a fan of.... Erstwilder website: I think I've perused this site before, I do really like it. It's definitely a case of too many choices though... like there are literally hundreds and hundreds of items in each category. So if I seem to have only looked at the first 100 or so things but you think the 350th thing is totally my style, feel free to spring for that if you'd like! Earrings: Rowdy Rattlesnake, Show Pony, Posh Pussycat, Regal Woodland Owl Necklaces: The Great Entertainer Enamel Pins: Cal the Giant Squid, Feline Festive twilighteyes question omibus: peach jam, zox.co bracelets, plushies: no thanks jonboy caramels: Yes please, all of the kinds listed on the site sound nice! mead sample: Yes please! rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur: Sigh... they sound good, but in reality, I would not do anything with them I have to confess that I still have a special potent potable that a past Witch sent to me years ago. So unless you are okay with them just being display items, nope! PNW or Seattle items: nothing especially comes to mind. I mean, I guess the fish are supposed to be good to eat, but I don't think you can ship them to me, at least without a lot of expense or hassle? I guess the coffee is supposed to be great too, but I've already said you could send me some medium roast, whole bean coffee. Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? This sounds great! So many cool flavors! Maple Bourbon, Moon Rocks, Rainier Cherry, Sip Sip Hooray, Thank You, Block Party Brownie, Happy Birthday, Coconut Island (swoon!), Pike Place Espresso, San Juan Salted Toffee, Nutbutter Pretzel, Magical Mint, Mexican Hot Chocolate, 14 Carrot Cake, Hungry Blackberry, Salted Toffee Crackle, and Cafe Latte Crunch all sound great! Trader Joe's fall goodies: The thing I would like the most is the Honey Hydration Day and Night Cream Duo. Other things that caught my eye include: maple fudge honey hydration bath fizzers wicked good mini chocolate bars maple spiced nut mix pumpkin pancake and waffle mix maple butter (I mean the shelf-stable spread called this, not the "butter with brown sugar and maple syrup" which I assume is a refrigerated item) maple brown butter flavored almonds pumpkin blondie brownies pumpkin gnocchi Wyrding Studios didn't have anything that I couldn't live without, and I am not a planner person (I've tried, but it doesn't stick!). No leggings for me please. I think I own one pair and wore them once last year when my work insisted on having a "pajama day." British things: We like marmalade in my household. ateliercoco website: Black & White Balloon Dog earrings Kintsugi Snake earrings Black Butterfly Moon update: I ordered a bottle of The Abandonment of the Unicorn already. Given that, I'd take decants of: Vanilla & Tobacco Flower Vanilla-Infused Incense & Raspberry Black Fly Butter Moon On Talking Stilleven Met Bijbel The Burning Light Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean Witch Baby: Cafeomancy soap, Ghost Girl bath bomb, Halloween Cake body butter, Pumpkin & Pistachio bath bomb or soap, Spider Baby bath bomb or soap Moonalisa seems mostly sold out right now. I'm actually waiting on an order from them from July anyway. There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for? No thanks, I have several tattoos, but I'm not sure if I'm getting any more and am not likely to want to go the tattoo pass route. *Back to the Australian Thingz question(s) from earlier, just in case: Sooo, my husband and I really like an Australian band called Blank Realm. For some reason, their songs get played by the independent radio station of a local university. If you happen to have access to any merchandise of theirs or something due to being in Australia I guess I'd be interested (like shirts or pins or keychains or something... do bands still have keychains???). I don't think we have physical albums of theirs (we just have the music downloaded I think) so I guess that's another thought (CDs or records would both be okay).

Is Perversion too obvious here? I usually don't go for most of the notes, but they're actually pretty nice in this combination!

I usually see Urd recommended for this.

I'd still agree with No. 93 Engine.

Hi Witch! I will put my answers to in-thread questions here! Here is my Amazon wishlist! Since I don't have a public etsy, I can try to find some inexpensive things I like there? But it turns out I barely look at etsy anymore and most of the things I have favorited there are $30 and up, other than these moon hair clips, professional overthinker pin, and ace of cups pin. I can link to a couple of things from a shop that I like, but most are a bit spendy, like, maybe this isn't, but this definitely is in my opinion. Here are some answers to in-thread questions! Cat Coven Halloween: The only Halloween thing I can currently see on the site is a drinking glass, I'll have to admit it's pretty cute though! I looked at their other stuff a bit already, but can update if something else particularly catches my eye. Green Salmon: Coffee would be fine according to preferences stated in original questionnaire, and most of the cocoa sounds nice too. The only tea I'd be interested in is the iced tea that's blue. Snag Tights: All Hallow's Eve size F, or Gully in F. Most of the cool Halloween stuff appears to already be sold out in that size. UK treats: All I can think of is Crunchie, but I may have given other answers in previous blogs? I did also think of Future Primitive soaps though, sometimes we get a question about those and they always sound pretty nice, but I haven't tried them since they are overseas. What are your favorite halloween/samhain treats to eat? All I can think of are Reese's Ghosts (EDIT: white ones, specifically!). Will update if I think of something else. Moonalisa: You can pick out some soap for me if you'd like Is there anything being removed from site or a virtual con scent you are interested in trying? RECOVERY ROOM MUMMY MILK WOLF MILK (EDIT: I can't do the dead leaves note so I dunno if I initially skipped over that component or what. I mean, I guess I'd still try a decant for curiousity's sake but this likely won't work on me.) ZOMBIE MILK A LITTLE SILVER SCIMITAR I was wondering whether Tim Tams in any incarnation would tempt my witchee. On the less sweet side, is there any other Australian things you might be tempted by. The Coconut Lychee Tim Tams sound amazing, but any chocolate variety would be worth trying I"m sure. When I tried to look up other Australian things I mostly came up with Lamingtons and Cherry Ripe, which are also sweet, but if there's something savory you think I'd enjoy, that's fine too! Would you appreciate rare TAL decant(s) in 1 mL amber roll-on bottle(s)? Sure! Haus of Gloi: Ghost Puffs or Spider Silk candle TheGrayMuse on etsy: some of the stickers are nice, such as Big Results, Doubt is Part of the Process, Your Worthiness, The Key to Success, Learn to Rest, It's not my Job, and Growth is Uncomfortable. Sea Witch Botanicals: Hermitage, Imbolc, and Lammas incense sound nice. Also: Frith soap. Alobudra: if you think I'd like some of the chocolate or bath salts, go for it! Moonstone bracelet also looks nice. Blog exclusive: so, someone asked about local shops to get gift cards to... I asked my fave local witchy shop and this was their response: Hi! Thank you for thinking of us! We do sell physical gift cards at the shop! We can send them a link to purchase one for you & we can have it at the shop with your name on it. We don’t have an e-gift card option yet. Have them email us if they want to purchase: Theempressnbtx@gmail.com Redbubble Halloween: sticker: https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Death-It-Is-What-It-Is-Pastel-Goth-Grim-Reaper-Drip-by-ctkrstudio/57131095.EJUG5 sticker: https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Just-one-more-chapter-skeleton-by-fruitpetunia/126840460.EJUG5 shirt size L: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Vintage-Black-Halloween-Cat-by-SPOOKYSWAG/34524188.22W0K shirt size L: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Death-Rides-A-Black-Cat-by-obinsun/28571846.IJ6L0.XYZ shirt size L: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Vintage-Halloween-by-LordofMasks/122532076.9V5H1.XYZ traditional Japanese items: not sure if this counts, but I'd love a coinpurse or coinpurse-sized small zippered pouch (like, definitely no bigger than 7cm squared). brujita: acne kit hechizo facial serum brujita candle tiny bones: these earrings were the only thing that really caught my eye: https://www.tinybonesandthings.com/product/rattlesnake-vertebrae-thread-earrings/101?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=true&q=false ILNP: hidden treasure, pick me up, eclipse (I've wanted this one for years), cygnus loop, you up?, showtime, underground, legacy, silhouette, dusk to dawn, park place, madeline, clover, storytelling Bird and Blend (again, no loose tea, only bagged): parma violet, gingerbread chai, earl grey creme, dozy girl, peppermint cream, udderly nirvana, assam house blend, deep breaths, the digester 9/9/23 kecap manis: Misc... I like enamel pins decently and have given some examples earlier in this blog, but I do not really have "fandoms." I am also not the right audience for hairfalls, unfortunately. We do not really have Halloween traditions besides sometimes trying to make something wacky for dinner (ramen burgers, hotdog mummies, etc.). I know I answered the question about home-made arm-warmers in a previous blog but don't think I have it in me to dig it up right now. Wild Soul River did not have anything that appealed to me. I cook, and I buy stuff from Penzey's all the time, just got an order in a couple of weeks back, in fact. If you are ordering from them anyway, I'd like to try some of their frozen pizza seasoning. Colourpop does not look like my thing. Most non-gory Halloween imagery is fine (I do not like zombies, for example). I think I talked about Halloween decoration preferences in past blogs if you really want to go digging? No Astrid, no hand-knit socks, no witch hat, no nail wraps. I'm not really a Squishmallows or Squishables person. Since I live in blazing hot South Central Texas (like, we just had over 60 days that were over 100 degrees), I have all of the pairs of fingerless glove type things that I need (actually, I have 3 and probably only need 2). Trader Joe's Halloween stuff seems like an embarrassment of riches: Obviously you can't ship me anything that needs to be kept cold, but here are things that could possibly be shipped that sound nice: Maple Flavored Fudge Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars Harvest Blend Herbal Tea (I usually buy this every year but who knows if I will make it to a Trader Joe's to get it this year) Autumn Maple Coffee Caramel Sea Salt baking chips Vanilla Bean Paste Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Cakes sound great, dunno if they are ship-able? Pumpkin Spiced Joe-Joe's Organic Fall Zucchette Pasta Pumpkin Gnocchi Maple Spiced Nut Mix (this sounds so great!) I am intrigued by the possibility of rope-work coasters for sure. Everything mentioned in conjunction with them sounds okay. Cherry Republic: Cherry Mimosa Conserve, Cherry Almond Butter, Cherry Rhubarb Jam, Cherry Sour Balls, Cherry Scone Mix, Spiced Cherry Preserves, White Chocolate Cherry Peanut Butter, Cherry Creme Honey, Montmorency Nouveau Preserves, Cherry Fig Jam, Cherry Sencha, Cherry Hour Bundle American Spoon: Sour Cherry Preserves, Star Thistle Honey, Paloma Mix, Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, Rhubarb Marmalade, Spiced Pear Conserve, Whole Seed Mustard, Tomato and Cilantro Salsa, Damson Plum Preserves, Quince Conserve Fustini's: Fig and Maple Paste, Marinara Sauce, Basil Crush Olive Oil, Garlic Olive Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Italian Pasta, Castelvetrano Olives, Mini Whisk Fudge omnibus answer: Maple fudge is my favorite of the traditional varieties. If we are talking about Holly's fudge from her old etsy shop, I love the Penuche and she made me some kickass matcha fudge once that was the best thing ever. Homemade/preserved food goodies that are a "yes:" sun-dried heirloom tomatoes dried ancho chile peppers - can be whole halves or ground into a delicious powder (either is fine) gourmet quality fudge (see above for flavor preferences) dried italian plums (pitted) freshly dried rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley individually or in combo (any and all would be fine) Whew! 9/11 answers: How about from my skincare person? drjensbeautylab.com/ Would try zit zapper I guess. City Skin Night Cream is another thought. How about from my witchy Chandler? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux Self-love, Museum Of Fortune Telling, Magic & Tarot, Record Store, Social Anxiety, By the Fire, The Witching Hour, Grimoire, Smoke & Mirrors, Boundary, The Off Switch, Tomato Leaves, When Witches go Riding, Saffron Perique, Grapefruit Mint, Luxury Hotel, Morgan Le Fay, Clove Cigarette handmade soap (usually with calendula infused olive oil, tallow, oatmeal and honey) sounds nice! arnica, calendula and comfrey mix salve for healing wounds or chapped skin also sounds nice! 9/13 answers: Cat treats: My cat is kind of picky but if you want to get him one catnip toy of some type I will at least try to introduce it to him. Unfortunately, he did NOT like the homegrown catnip that someone sent me in a past round. ? Seasonal mugs... you may get me ONE if it is spectacular, because I could probably figure out a mug to retire. Rishi teas (sachets): turmeric ginger, cinnamon tulsi spice, cinnamon plum Do you have anything you use every day that you wouldn't mind getting more of? coffee? earrings? I can update in my blog if I think of something else. FaeFragrance etsy: Bear Hug whipped soap sounds nice. 9/17 harissa olive oil: Pickety Witch website: "Jiji's First Halloween" pin is pretty cute. Would possibly be interested in any doubled lapel pins with a chain in between (as noted, sometimes referred to as sweater clasps or clips). I like stickers, but I think I've probably already been pretty clear about that Um, I did get some with geese on them recently that I ended up giving away, and I don't think I want ones with Baphomet on them, but those are the only things I can think of that I specifically don't want stickers of. A paper crane mobile sounds nice and I don't really have extreme space constraints for such a thing. Weenies: what I want the most is Maple Leaves, Golden Moss, & Amber hair gloss, so that's a thought, dear Witch! I will be ordering myself a handful of decants, so I will leave those out of this discussion as well. But there are almost always things that I am curious about but are less likely to actually work with my skin chemistry, so if decants are more your speed, here's that list of curiosity: ELIZABETH'S IMPS LADY OF SAINTONGE WITCH-BIRDS WAYFARING STRANGER I do like washi tape but don't use it a whole lot. - List here things you wish you would've added to your questionnaire I guess that I would really, really love more No-one Heard Her Except the Sparrows atmo, I have a tiny fraction of the bottle left. I use it in my office at work, after deciding Red Lantern was a bit much for compulsory public education. 9/23: Torrid: I'm looking at the workwear section because it's 50% off right now. I think 2x in these is probably the best bet. Satin Tie Neck Flutter Sleeve Blouse Madison Clip Dot Zigzag Button Up Shirt Mesh with Embroidery Long Sleeve Blouse Vegan Cashmere Cardigan V-Neck Drop Shoulder Sweater Harper Studio Crepe de Chine 3/4 Sleeve Blouse Studio Bubble Satin Bow-Tie Blouse Harper Georgette Pullover 3/4 Sleeve Blouse Harper Clip Chiffon Pullover 3/4 Sleeve Blouse Geogette Tulip Sleeve Blouse (yes, the item is spelled that way on the site) Harper Studio Crepe de Chine Flutter Short Sleeve Blouse Harper Georgette Ruched Short Sleeve Blouse I mean, is it okay if a person just appreciates acorns? Lush: Skincare: Grease Lightening Shower Gel: Rose Jam, Olive Branch, Mario, Golden Egg Halloween: Lord of Misrule bubble bar or candle, Ghostie/Magic Potion bath bombs, Pumpkin Crumble/Bubble Lugosi bubble bar lakewoodwax: Of the highlighted candles, kanekalon, the jaguar, and heaven scent all sound nice. Smoked Coconut & Orange also sounds nice. re: Ren Fest stuff, I am a garlic fan, since that was mentioned specifically. Usually those markets have plenty of the other stuff that I've mentioned being interested in like earrings, lip balm (tube style, please), soap, candles, stick incense, etc. 9/30/23 ube halaya: Winter holiday afficionados, are there any decorations, treats, etc. that you would be looking for? Chocolate Orange, dark chocolate, Terry's Brand. We also usually get a tea advent calendar from Pukka but I'd be open to other brands. If I think of something else I'll add it to my blog. World Market kitkats: Orange, Matcha, and Milk Tea sound nice. Coloring books: maybe... I think I have two or 3 somewhere that I lost interest in at some point. I'm another person who probably needs a good version of what I call "map pencils" though if I'm going to try to use coloring books again.

Planning to wear Voodoo today which also has clove, but my fave BPAL clove is probably The Moon Gazed on My Midnight Labours!

Sed non Satiata comes to mind (most of the other things I thought of contained rose):

Lurid Library! Undead Home of the Vampire King atmo also comes to mind...

This perfume oil sounds promising: Or... bpal.org/topic/35220-tristran/

@katharina I'm a little confused, I was recommending perfumes with fur notes I'd tried to other people, not asking for leads on perfumes with fur notes I hadn't tried? I have two bottles of Ivanushka from when it was easier to find (so I'm probably not the target market for "batsy"), but I've been buying BPAL since 2009 and on the forum since 2011, so I thought maybe someone newer who was reading this thread might not know about it and might be interested in finding out about a nice perfume that fit these specifications that was released back in the day.

Seconding Unicorn & Ram. If you really want to go a-hunting, there's always Ivanuskha, an LE from the distant past, and Whoso List to Hunt, a discontinued GC.

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions (not familiar with these scents and don't have time to look up/cross-reference notes as it's my bedtime), but I wanted to let you know that there's a whole thread of these types of questions, in case you might get more help there (it doesn't seem to be getting a lot of traffic recently, but still might be worth a try):

So, I just started using Minamisoma (https://www.lushusa.com/shower/body-butters-conditioners/minamisoma/9999908130.html), and to me it smells a LOT like Delight & Consternation (https://www.bpal.org/topic/79821-delight-and-consternation/), at least if one got a bottle either with less chocolate globules, or if one didn't roll the bottle much before applying so didn't get much chocolate. I ended up re-homing my Delight & Consternation because the drydown wasn't the best with my skin chemistry, but it's nice to smell something else that's close to how it was upon initial application.

Hmm... no mentions of Quintessence of Dust? Pretty sure it fits all the parameters here...

Sounds to me like you want Golden Priapus! Check out reviews to see if it sounds close...

Not sure if you would want to try to find Knockout Drops? I don't see it much on the secondary market though.

I was thinking The Caterpillar, but you should probably take a look at reviews due to your dislikes: Maybe The Bow & Crown of Conquest would be more your speed? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/shop/general-catalog-perfume-oils/sin-and-salvation/come-and-see/the-bow-crown-of-conquest/ Morocco sounds like another good bet: https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/shop/general-catalog-perfume-oils/wanderlust/morocco/

Hi there! You might want to check out the hair gloss thread about this... there have been similar questions over and over where different people will chime in with how they use the product. I will search for it and edit with a link. The reason it's not a simple answer is that different people use them differently because different people have different types of hair and different needs and desires. Here are some examples: Some people really just use them for scent and not for anything the gloss does to their hair. For some people it is a more convenient way to apply scent than to one's skin for various reasons. I personally actually use the hair gloss to do something to my hair. My (chin-length, straight, fine, and lots of it) hair gets frizzy sometimes. So I use the hair gloss after towel-drying my hair, by spraying some into my palm, rubbing my palms together, and then running my fingers through my hair. My husband (sometimes with a typical male haircut, sometimes with long hair, always with curly or wavy hair) uses hair gloss on dry hair. He says it helps his hair to be more wavy and less frizzy. He sprays the gloss directly onto his hair and then combs his hair. I've read other people's comments that they only use it on the ends of their hair because it makes their scalps oilier. *EDIT* Here is a link to the pertinent thread. It's 167 pages long, but even on the last page, people are listing how they like to apply hair gloss, and there are responses different from the examples I've given, so hopefully it will be helpful...

Usually The Coiled Serpent is a good bet for a true earthy patchouli...

With "earthy," are you thinking more of a dirt direction, or more of a patchouli direction? Destroying Angel has had some attention lately, maybe check out these reviews: I'm a big fan of its cousin Death Cap, but i kind of think of it as a vanilla/coconut-y dirt, so I'm not sure if that sounds great to you or not... You specifically mentioned not being into florals, so I wouldn't recommend things like Zombi and its ilk (combinations of earth and strong florals). I'm sure others who are more into the earthy side of scents will chime in with more suggestions. *EDIT* Ooh, I bet this thread might help you! It was last posted in back in 2016, but some of the suggestions are probably still available...

My BPAL wishlist is linked in my signature, so if you have gotten here, you have probably been there as well.... Here's my Amazon wishlist: http://amzn.com/w/6D1ZI60Y3H6P Here's Modcloth (I know Modcloth's stuff is often expensive and sells out quickly, but I thought it might be helpful to give you an idea of what I like... no promises on updating this particular wishlist regularly during the round though) As promised, here are some under-$20 things I like on etsy: cat mask, professional overthinker pin, mini eagle earrings, ace of cups pin, blue and silver earrings, tiny lapis earrings, small black earrings, 80s earrings 1, 80s earrings 2, triangle ball earrings, neutral good pin, honey bee sheer socks, crackling birch soap, casserole cookbook. Much more to come! Paintbox: Blackbird Glycerin soap G.O.A.T. Hot Process soap GTFO Glycerin soap Hex on the Beach Glycerin soap Hold Fast Glycerin soap Madinka Hot Process soap Night Walker Glycerin soap Nekisse Hot Process soap Princess Pony Sparklebutt Glycerin soap Rice Pudding Hot Process soap The Man in the Moon Glycerin soap The Queen is Dead Hot Process soap Whiskers Hot Process soap Bookkeeper's Butter (either type) Trading Post etsy: Rags to Royalty bath oil The Pearl Seeker bath oil Erotic Images of Spring Evenings bath oil Self-care: I need lip balm... the kind that's a stick/tube, not the kind in a pot. And not tinted. I like Haus of Gloi's and Moonalisa's, for example. And a past Witch got me some from a brand called "Crazy Rumors" that I also like. I just seem to have lost my extra lip balm in my recent move. I also really like the single-use sheet masks that became popular a few years back... I think I only have one or two at home so I would love more. I can definitely update this in my blog if I think of more things. I could also use some new nail polish. I think this is in my questionnaire, but I like all types in terms of color and I also like glitter/holographic/flakie/etc. I just don't like the magnetic/sand/crackle stuff. I have a bunch of nail polish but some of it is starting to go off so I'm throwing away the stuff that can't even be saved by polish thinner, and that will make me sad because I like having a comprehensive library of colors and types to choose from. One of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ). Would anyone be interested in one of her masks? If choosing a new silk-lined mask, I'd get the fox fabric (fabric #14), I guess a second choice would be #8 (looks sort of like cherry blossoms and water). Lavender or Lavender+Vanilla syrup sounds pretty nice, and I know I mentioned in my original questionnaire that I'm cool with home-made treats in general. Jams, jellies, and pickles all sound nice, but the only pickled things that I like are cucumbers, and I only like sour or dill ones, not sweet or hot ones. Looking at that "Tater Rounds Beauty" etsy shop, I'm interested in the following: Black Phillip Candle Holy Water Bubble Bath Lavender Hand Sanitizer Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)? I can basically always use these three things, and if other specific needs come up I can add them in my blog when I get around to updating that (at least by the time we have matches): Medium chili powder (1/2 cup jar may be best): https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/medium-hot-chili-powder/c-24/p-61/pd-s Seasoned salt (again, 1/2 cup jar may be best... I'd also try the smoky version): https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/penzeys-seasoned-salt/c-24/p-636/pd-s Vanilla (2oz. is fine, the Mexican Vanilla I will link to is the cheapest, but I certainly wouldn't say "no" to their two more expensive varieties): https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/vanilla-mexican/c-24/p-3086/pd-s Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself? The dichotomy of choosing between supplies for crafts/hobbies (which for me would be cooking/baking, basically), and things that I "can't make" myself is not one that I'm enjoying... I mean, usually Switch Witch involves receiving more than one gift (not being greedy, it's just not usually a one and done swap even if one or ones Witch tries to proceed frugally), and about the only commonly gifted thing in this swap that I CAN'T make is knitted or crocheted stuff (okay, I forgot about jewelry-making, which sometimes comes up... whether I want jewelry that someone makes really depends on whether it's my style so those things will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis), which I usually say I don't want since I live in a hot climate so just don't need more scarves, hats, etc. and am not really interested in home-produced washcloths and the like... which means I'm probably overthinking things and it's okay if that question is not for me. Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round? For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just cant bring yourself to buy for yourself?? I don't really know of a specific thing I really want to receive in this swap. I mean, I think I already mentioned lip balm but If my Witch isn't really into lip balm tubes or doesn't think they can access good ones I don't want to force things, it wouldn't be that hard to get for myself. Are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ? Take a peek & let me know if you might like to try something. I'd try any of the lip balms other than Chocolate Cherry, I think. Hand & Body Wash could be nice, Orange Cinnamon is a particularly intriguing-sounding scent, but the others sound nice too. Or the following soaps: Black Amber & Lavender, Tomato Leaf, Mint Julep, or Orange Cinnamon. Is there anything you want from Japan? Current kit kat flavors are... Salty Lemon, Salty Lychee, Sweet Potato, Chestnut and possibly still some Cookies and Cream Ice Cream or Strawberry Ice Cream from summer. Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me! As for the kitkats, they all sound interesting, especially the Chestnut and Salty Lychee ones. Other snacks I'd be interested in include Meltykiss chocolate, I haven't bought any in forever. I definitely use "letter set" type stationery so I'd love some of that. Cross stitch patch or pin sounds somewhat intriguing, actually. Dollar store with $20 is an interesting one. Usually I would say nail polish or glittery Halloween stickers, maybe some fun-colored mechanical pencils to give out to students. But these days I have COVID-related food anxieties so honestly at a dollar store I would be grabbing various types of canned tomatoes, spam (yes I eat it, especially the low sodium version, no, I'm not ashamed), cans of coconut water, stuff like that. You probably don't want to send me (literally) heavy stuff like that though. Maybe some dried pasta if I'm thinking of food anxiety related stuff that doesn't weigh too much. UK: I will take a Crunchie chocolate bar as usual. To partially answer one of @wendyb1063's questions, I still have incense left over from Switch Witch 2 years ago because I had a Witch who absolutely spoiled me with it! But... I will never say no to incense from my favorite incense company, Devonshire. They are a multigenerational and highly acclaimed company, they used to make incense for the Vatican, etc. Their main websites are down right now, but I messaged them and their etsy is active... https://www.etsy.com/shop/devonshireorganics . Anyhow, I'm always up for an incense sampler from them, I'm sure I've been buying them for at least 20 years at this point. I feel like my original questionnaire or answers to other in-thread questions have already covered things like family members/other living beings in my household, candles, atmos, tea, etc., but I will check to make sure. My cat likes some cat toys and catnip but not others, and my husband likes most consumable items (I mean like food and drinks, the word "edible" means something else now and "potable" isn't used often except on "Jeopardy!"). If you get me coffee, he (the husband, not the cat) will drink more of it than I will, he drinks 2-3x more coffee than I do. Not sure if this is in my questionnaire so, we like medium roast coffee best, whole bean or ground is fine, and the only flavored coffee we really like is coconut coffee. *EDIT* Okay, I dug up a little thing I wrote years ago about candle scents: "If we're talking candle scents, I like most of them, just not ones that are super-fruity or super-seaside-y or very "holiday spice." Hope that helps!" Does anyone like the prints or items from www.ElissaMarieCreative.com ? I have a few of her prints and the notebooks and they are quality! I haven't tried this type of face covering and am curious because many people use them at my workplace, so maybe this? https://www.elissamariecreative.com/product-page/face-cover-midnight-garden What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific? This is cute (the one I'm actually linking to, not the one that says "Weird Mother" on it, since I'm not a mother): https://drawingsbynicole.com/collections/bags/products/strawberry-and-daisy-tote-bag-with-rainbow-nylon-strap Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you? Like I said in my original questionnaire, I need nail polish because I have a bunch of it that's about to give up the ghost. Looking at the nail polish, these seem nice: Nonsense and Cryogenic Refrigerant. Most of their other stuff either isn't my thing or is sold out. They have like 2 bar soaps in stock right now, of which Night Sky sounds nice. If others come back in stock and my witch wants to get me a different soap scent from this company because there's one they think I'd like, that'd be fine. *Dear Witch, wanted to let you know that I finally found my lip balm! I only have 3 unused tubes of it, so you can still get me some, but I know I went on and on about it earlier in the answers, so wanted to let you know it's not the most crucial thing ever now. I have absolutely no bubble bars now though, so if you're looking for those fabled "under-$20" things for me, again, that'd be another great place to start!* I enjoy historical reproductions and am a fan of LBCC Historical Apothecary. Is there something in her store you might be interested in? Maybe the Red Rose Vinegar, Four Thieves Vinegar or 1930's Vintage Dry Shampoo. Artists I like: Victor Vasarely Auguste Herbin Jules Olitski Toyen (there are lots of artists with similar names, so here's her wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyen) Odilon Redon Agnes Pelton Hilma af Klint One of the things I do is make nifty things from sweaters that I cut up & upcycle into things like super warm mittens, arm warmers, striped arm warmers, cowls, teapot cozies, & French press cozies. So, which of these things might you like? Give me some thoughts on colors you like & if for a teapot or press, I need to know a size. I'm actually finding this really intriguing, but mostly just in the arm-warmer category, striped or otherwise. Predictably, and also addressed in my original questionnaire, I am into many different color schemes. Main color families would be something like, generic fall, which would be like, brick/mustard/tan/chocolate, or, I dunno, gloomy bodies of water, which would be like, navy, light grey, dark grey (charcoal), black. But I like other colors too which would be in less defined families in my mind, like deep jewel toned purple/mauve/burgundy with or without some charcoal, or maybe substituting duller or brighter olive green for the "brick" in the fall colors. And it's not like I don't like turquoise or light blue either. Finally, I used to really have a thing for lighter grey paired with either sunny yellow or chartreuse (or to a lesser extent, darker grey/charcoal paired with teal). Hopefully that would be enough for some ideas! Is there anything you want from Lush? Bewitched bubble bar Lord of Misrule bath bomb Very Very Frightening Shower Gel Golden Pear Bubbleroon Rose Jam Bubbleroon Bubble Bubble Toil & Trouble bubble bar Gold FInger bubble bar Unicorn Horn bubble bar Figs in Honey bubble bar Rose Clay salt cube Intergalactic bath bomb Groovy Kind of Love bath bomb Marshmallow World bath bomb Melusine bath bomb Blue Gardenia salt cube FIgs & Leaves bar soap Goddess bar soap D'Fluff shaving soap (didn't know this was leaving ) Dirty shaving cream Happy Hippy shower gel Ginger shower gel No Drought dry shampoo Okay, it's 9/14 and I'm sure I must have a Witch, so it's time to try to address the questions I've skipped so far, even if it's in a somewhat haphazard fashion I do NOT have an etsy wishlist that is public, but I recently added some relatively-inexpensive etsy faves near the beginning of this entry. Future Primitive: soaps: cracked coconut, elijah's comfort, festival, indian sandalwood, luxury jamaican mocha, smoke & mirrors, sparklebox, the orangery, the warrior bath salts: cordwainer, rook & raven, sparklebox, sylph whipped soap: lavender ice cream Cat Coven: I own and enjoy some items from these folks already, but most of their items appear to be sold out now. Maybe a gift certificate? Mineral G___y (there's a slur in the shop's name, unfortunately): Many of their interesting items are sold out as well. I like the "sphere stands" other than the pentagram and hamsa ones. I also like the smokey quartz palmstones, rainbow flourite carved lotus, and smokey quartz 50 mm spheres. thelatestkate on redbubble: the "[slow?] progress is still progress" acrylic block marika paz shop: magical red panda sticker faunwood: the sold-out "snailipede" pin is cute. shannatrumbly: no thanks fiddler's green zine: "wandering wizards welcome" sticker hedgespoken press (not sure if I spelled that right, can't read my own writing): no thanks Okay, now we are at the tea section. Sorry to yell and also to repeat myself, but past Witches have disregarded this, unfortunately, so... DO NOT BUY ME LOOSE TEA. I WILL NOT USE IT. I AM SORRY. With that out of the way... David's Tea, sachets... Most interested in: cream of earl grey, buddha's blend. also interested in: organic saigon chai, valerian nights, s'mores chai, japanese sencha, silk dragon jasmine, breakfast blend, cinnamon rooibos chai, bee the change. Steepology, bagged... Most interested in: citrus lavender sage. Also interested in: moroccan mint, mintylicious, mao feng, lapsang souchong, breakfast earl grey, katana chai, pinhead gunpowder Bird & Blend, bags... Most interested in: earl grey creme, assam house blend. Also interested in: dozy girl, cold weather warrior, liquor-licious liquorice, peppy mint, nearly nirvana Tea company I like: Capital Teas/Anchor Beverages (https://capitalteas.com/). Sachets...Most interested in royal wedding tea. Also interested in: earl grey, french lavender earl grey, young hyson, and nile chamomile. As for the herb'neden question, here are some things from their site that looked nice: sore muscles bath soak; and the following soaps: vanilla mint coffee, coconut & kaolin clay, everything, rosemary lavender, chamomile & calendula, rosewater kefir & lavender, cedarwood & sea clay Haus of Gloi (only looking at in-stock items): soap: Enchanted Forest or Lavender Vanilla linen spray: Cozy Sweater or Moon Dog Adagio Teas: (again, bags, no loose tea): most interested in: Oolong Goddess also interested in: jasmine pearls, earl grey, foxtrot, wuyi oolong Dandelion Chocolate: bars: Hacienda Azul, Wampu, Zorzal Estate, Costa Esmeraldas, Anamala, Japan version of Wampu chips: Maya Mountain treats: Black Sesame Toffee Brittle, hot chocolate mix, sea salt caramels Though they are all very nice, the items in the April Gloom, twinklentwilight, and BrianSerwayArt etsy shops are not my thing. As for socks, I know I mentioned in my original questionnaire that I have way too many socks considering how often I actually wear socks. I do have one pair of socks I'm interested in, that are linked in the etsy section of my blog. Otherwise I have all of the socks that I need, probably for my whole life. If you're not near one, is there anything from Trader Joe's you'd like? Funny you should mention this, because I haven't been been there since prior to the pandemic-panic, but I'm going this weekend! I mean, I wouldn't say "no" to whatever they have there that you thought I'd like, but I'm running into the same thing as the "dollar store" question where some of the things I'd be interested in aren't great to ship. But here are some things I enjoy from there that are at least fairly nonperishable... Reduced fat coconut milk Dark chocolate covered blueberries Chocolate covered Joe-Joe's, especially if this thing is back I've purchased some really nice short pasta there before My husband really enjoys whatever their Fig Newton analog is, and their spicy ginger cookies Giant Peruvian Inca Corn! Organic Elote Corn Chip Dippers! Red Honey Processed El Salvador Coffee How do you feel about local items from my city, like spicy (think chili) things or local coffee? I don't know what city this is? I already mentioned always needing chili powder, and my/our coffee preferences, though. They're not my jam, but do you have good feelings about Funko Pop? I'm asking because I realize many people like them. I guess they are okay, but they also are not really "my jam." Candles! Anything from these places catch your fancy? https://cantripcandles.com/collections they're all sold out! https://miruscandles.com/collections max, hopper, newt, wand shop, jon, and manon sound interesting. https://briarwickcandles.com/collections cassian, just chill, chaol, lethe house, jareth, angel, ghost stories Is there something from your fandom that popped up in another country you'd be particularly interested in? What, and what store? I... would have to have a fandom for this to make sense? The closest thing I can think of is that if Lush UK or Japan or whatever had items you think I'd like, of course I'd want them. Would you be interested in some boozy chocolates (or anything else) from https://www.chocolatemoonshine.com/ ? maple walnut fudge, original classics truffle bars, cafe au lait truffle bars, or fruit & nut truffle bars Witchee, assuming you like home made/home canned condiment goodies, what is your spice level preference? addressed in original questionnaire I went ahead and took a look at Cellar Door's candles. I'm interested in the following: Birchwood & Spiced Rum, Dapper Dan, Lavender Pumpkin, Manistee Sands, Morning Dew, Once Bitten (a favorite soap scent), Sanderson Spice, Sex Machine, Tobacco+Oakmoss, and Tupelo Honey. Recipes: This is another somewhat complex one. I have some cookbooks on my Amazon wishlist, that would probably be the best place to start. At least one past Witch sent me some sort of cookbook in an electronic file format (maybe a pdf, can't remember), but that turned out to be a not-so-great format for me... I think I thought to make one recipe from it and that's all, and I've changed computers since then so I don't know if I even still have access to it. Sorry, former Witch, if you're reading this! Life is a mess sometimes! Anyhow, other than cookbooks on my wishlist, I'd be fine with my Witch sharing a favorite recipe or two that they think I'd like in any format (from computer printout to handwritten recipe card to just a link in an email, etc.). Hope that helps! Buc-ees: I have all the access I need to this store, there's one around a mile away from me, one in the town where my mom lives, at least one in between my town and the one where my mom lives, etc. I do enjoy many of their things (though I think the Beaver Nuggets are just okay), but most of them are fresh foods so it'd be more convenient for me to get them myself. Back when I lived in a small town (less than 10K population), Buc-ees was where I got my kombucha (and I also got some nice earrings and such there, their stuff is definitely not limited to the beaver-centric)! Maybe the link might help for people who aren't familiar? https://buc-ees.com/ Snag tights: all I have of theirs so far are chub rub shorts, which I like decently. I actually don't have a pair of black fishnets somehow, so I'd take some of the "fishies" I guess (actually the "broken dreams" fishnets are also interesting)... size stunning? Maybe the black mock garter or the witch tights (I had some striped ones like this in 7th/8th grade that I loved!) in F? Wouldn't mind trying some of @skyelyric's shortbread (sweet or savory) now that she's mentioned it. Ooh! As an addendum to the Trading Post etsy question above, I just saw that Shipwreck bath oil is there now. I love that stuff so thought I'd mention it just in case.... https://www.gcv.org/shop/ : straight-sided mug honey & goat milk soap https://www.kbshimmer.com/all-the-fall-things/ : Fully Booked and Washed Up look nice. Twilighteyes' treats: Brown Sugar Plum Butter: sure! Pflaumenmus (also Plum Butter): sure! Cardamom Plum Jam: Oh yes please! Star Anise Plum Jam: Oh yes please! Ginger Peach Butter: not so much for me, but my husband (aka CatBear) would love this! Vanilla Peach Jam: not so much for me, but my husband (aka CatBear) would love this! Sweet Green Tomato Relish: no thanks Dill Green Tomato Relish: sure! Huckleberry Jam: sure! Apple Butter: not so much for me, but my husband (aka CatBear) would love this! Catnip (well, it grew and we dried it...): we can try this... my cat was NOT into the Colorado catnip from @Greenwoodtree, sadly, but he might like this.... Candied Jalapenos (delicious with cream cheese on burgers or crackers): nah, plenty of these around in occupied Aztlan where I live Lavender Vanilla Bean liqueur: maybe a little Rose Petal liqueur: sure!

@artisjok beat me to mentioning Unicorn & Ram!

Interestingly, for me in the bottle this smells like unburned cloves in the pack, and on the skin, smells like a lit clove cigarette. So that's a neat trick! I wasn't expecting to be able to smell the "burning" aspect of a cigarette as well, but it's there for me. I might actually layer this with Indonesian Clove Single note to tone down the incendiary aspect. I agree that this has quite a bit of throw so likely doesn't need to be slathered unless you are a "huge cloud of scent" type person.

If you like Rose Jam, I think you should give Spellbound a try. Also wondering if you'd like Arcana.

Sorry to hear that... in my comment, I was responding to biyonic who didn't mention those constraints. I did a search for that note, and it looks like the 2 cashmere scents that have neither leather nor oudh are Right Atrium and Monk and Actor (the latter sounds closer to the non-BPAL cashmere scents described earlier, though likely more traditionally-masculine).
