Pumpkin, peanut butter, some pumpkin spice. Smells like something straight out of the Pumpkin Patch series.
-
I get a melange of dry green leaves and bergamot. The black tea is somewhere in there giving off a bit of warmness. I'd classify this as woody green citrus.
-
I expected this to smell like Tis Not Madness as they're sharing almost the same notes. An Inffable Game smells like a milky fig leaf, no bitterness or saltiness, just milky fig leaf. Maybe other notes will show up in times, but all in all I'm content with what I'm smelling on my skin.

You Are Mine, You Shall Be Mine, You and I Are One for Ever

This is CLOVE balm on my skin. The clove note has exterminated everything around it. It's slowly warming up, but still is a clove one-man show. This is for all the clove note lovers out there. -
It's a bright white rose with a sweet prickly kick from the vanilla/ white musk combo. On my skin it comes off as fruity floral. If i didn't know the notes, i'd say it had chilled pear in it. Later on, the white rose becomes powdery, but still retaining that prickly kick.

Aldehydes and soapy florals. Evokes a vibe of cleanliness.The florals are waning and the aldehydes become the center of attention. The aldehydes are well behaved and don't feel effervescent. A good option for those seeking a Chanel N5 alternative.

I have a decant of Morning Follows Night which i've been testing for the past 2 weeks. It starts off with a wonderful lemon rind/ vanilla/ tonka/ powdery cocoa upon opening. So lovely....here's hoping this part lasts. Litte by little the opening calms down, the lemon rind subsides and i'm left with a creamy plush vanilla/tonka/ lemon rind veil. At times, the drydown can unexpectedly shift into woody patchouli with a brulee vibe; other times it stays creamy and soft. I still haven't decided if i need a bottle of this.

Dead Leaves, Burnt Marshmallows, Clove Cream, and Whiskey
theredkilt replied to Jenjin's topic in Halloweenie
Red, dark brown dry leaves enveloped in a scorched and warm layer of whiskey. I don't smell any clove cream or marshmallow. It's not an in your face boozy blend, but more in the vein of booze-generated warmness and scorched smoky something melding in with the dry dark brown leaves texture. This is slightly reminiscent of DL, Roasted Almonds and Bourbon, which had a MUCH MUCH MORE pronounced boozy roasted vibe. These DLs are more approachable and the whiskey + the scorched element bring a really nice and warming touch. -
Smoky coffee bean and cardamom. It starts off pretty strong and smells good, but looses its oomph in 1 hour. Sadly it's short-lived.
-
Deep black musk, a bit incensey and warm rounded by a halo of amber. I thought this would smell like Haunted, but it doesn't. It reminds of a much much more subdued version of Streets of Detroit without the myrrh and the greasy engine oil vibe. It stays close to the skin and feels warm and cozy.
-
This is a pale king mandarin, a bit dry, with some spice and dustiness from the red musk. I expected something combustible, but it's very well behaved and polite
-
Fresh smells like biting into a red juicy apple followed by something creamy and white, maybe musk, like a creamy body lotion texture...could be the floral component of the blend. Little by little, as time goes, the milky creamy component gets stronger eclipsing the apple. In the end i get creamy milky body lotion scent with a whisper of a waning red apple pulp.
-
Sweet cream with a butter undertone. I wish there was more frankincense. Over time the cream and butter get sweeter and more intense verging almost into dulce leche territory.
-
this is the good GOOD! This is a caramelized purring fuzzy amber. I think there's benzoin here. Whatever amber resinoid is used here, it may have turned this blend into an unintentional gourmand. I'm getting a bottle with my next order! LOVE ?
-
This blend gives off an auburn/ dark brown chromatic feeling. The spiced rum definitely makes its presence known. I can't escape the feeling that everything in here has been soaked in the spiced rum and then meticulously dried. The blend is not sweet, but rather carries a mild boozy aura throughout its wear. Boozy, a bit sharp, almondy with a scorched bite Reminds me of Row Bullies Row from the Fire Down Below series.
-
This is a milky textured fruity floral. I get the pom and apricot rind mingled with the florals which are meticulously blended. I'm thinking of bottling this.
-
A deep balsamic syrupy amber resembling Nyx, Night Goddess; but after it 2-3 hours it gets drier in texture and a bit woodier but still retains a syrupy afterglow.
-
It's a red bursting juicy grapefruit. Over time it loses its zest and spark and mingles with a creamy clean floral musk. Later: an incensy brown smog of dragons blood come out and envelops the pink grapefruit. Quite unexpected ?
-
This reminds me of Snow White with enhanced coconut note but without the plastic and the chill note. Ezekiel is a pillowy, fluffy coconut cloud. I'm very much inclined to bottle it, but i can't get to get rid of the Snow White echoes.
-
Right from the start i smell two distinct layers: one is tangerine and mandarine and the other is the florals which take on a slight fizzy detergent quality. This resembles somewhat The Soap Bubbles, safe for Nymph is less screechy and keeps the fizzy/ flower detergent vibe in check. I'd summarize this as sparkly florals bearing a faint laundry vibe, with an added citrus zing. 2 hours later i get a full bodied clean mimosa lotus bouquet with faint whispers of non sweet citrus
-
This is a cool watery tea and vanila blend; i don't detect anything smoky. The tea reads to me more as the white or oolong variety than lapsang souchong. Falls in the same catgeory of blends like Mother Ghost and Cat at the Table.

Jaolong from Carnivale Diabolique Café au Lait and a Wool Blanket Coffee Bean, Cacao and Khus

White Chocolate, Orange Blossom, Sugar Crystals, and Champagne
theredkilt replied to Jenjin's topic in Lupercalia
The white chocolate note is the same one as in White Chocolate, Mysore Sandalwood and Lemon Peel and Vintage Witch Blow Mold. I also smell a dash orange blossom and a weak zing of champagne in the background. The white chocolate dominates however. Over time the champagne fizz asserts itself. -
This blend was so off of everyone's radar. It is so sophisticated. I get a clean white leather/ suede with added sweetness from the tonka and some faint black tea in the background. The drydown alludes to being a gourmand scent profile for non-gourmand people. So good and so happy i blind bought a bottle. Later on, the sweetness fades away and I'm left with the white leather and some Tonka/ coumarin facets.

I have worn this blend for a couple of months and finally figured out what it reminds of - Mother Ghost from the Crimson Peak line. Cat is more sheer, playful, translucent and fluffier. I don't why the white tea/ vanilla combo smells to me like dainty peach musk, but i like it. It's easy to wear and relaxing.
