The weed infused green amber is singing on my skin. It's got a tangy/sharp/ acrid bite.  The milky marshmallow creeps up on the weedy green amber. I think the weed acrid edge wears off, but it's still hovering above the marshmallow milky goodness.

On my skin this brings out the white sandalwood, orris root, the dustiness of dead leaves and maybe some type of unidentified resin. I don't get any Snake Oil from this, but overall this reminds me very vaguely of King Cobra minus the frankincense.

2025 release: it's not what i expected I'd get judging from the notes.

I get a strong fizzy labdanum with touches of tangy dried cherries and blackberries. The dry down doesn't sweeten up as time goes by. I wish  some sweetness would show up....but no.

This one smells a lot on my skin like Kobold Barista. Like identical twins.

I can summarize this as refreshing, watery, a bit airy and fruity as in honey dew melon fruity. I'm pleasantly surprised that my blind buy paid off. I consider this to be closely related to the Shungas, even though the 2025 Shungas didn't bode well with my skin chemistry.

2025 release

The oil in the bottle looks murky. On the skin I'm greeted by the leather and snake oil spices. Little by little it's starting to resemble my 2019 decant of Snake Skin. The leather looses its chemical aspect and is weaving seamlessly with the snake oil components. After 3 hours of wear my wrist smells like a delicious butter toffee cookie.

Skin musk with a thin layer of honey lemon dust. The skin musk develops a faint sour facet on my skin.

This would fit in the HP Lovecraft serie of blends.

Ambergris and salty foam. Very aquarium like scent. Reminds of a melange of Abe Sapien, Ogygia and Cthulhu.

This reminds of the Beaver Moon 2023 cheesecake with matcha tea.

Initial stage, I smell the red musk and the tart wild plum. Little by little I get a tea note, not sure if it's matcha or green tea. It's getting a bit more smoky and oily texture wise. As it develops, the wild plum retains it's presence and is backed by the red musk and shadow of whatever green tea/ matcha is left 

It's a beautifully blended perfume, but it's light for my taste. I have a hard time pinpointing individual notes. There's a faint whiff of green tea, there's lotus root, and very subtle violets. I get the impression that there's a spray of wildflower honey somewhere, but it may be the overall effect of the seamless blending. I feel that the lotus root is dominating the blend, but it's not overpowering or shrieking, more like tying up all the other notes together.

Faintly soapy orange blossom with patchouli. It's not syrupy sweet at all. It's clean and focused, as in the way orange blossom can come off as clean and relaxed.

Buttery fluffy steamed rice with a subtle touch of jasmine. Nothing smoky or indolic showing up on my skin. Really beautiful and calming 

In Black Rider's chocolate reiteration, there's an indolic aspect that is amped up...is it musk?

It's getting on my nerves, to be honest. If the chocolate contributes that, I don't want any part of it.

Luminous amber, white tea, sweet heliotrope, golden lotus petals,
toasted almond blossom cream, and a smear of ink.

The whole effect I get from this scent is luminous, glossy and polished. It's an amber white tea blend camouflaged in layers and layers of other notes, like lotus, heliotrope and ink. It feels shiny and glowing from within, and the ink is always lurking somewhere in the background. 

Later on, the ink highjacks the party and becomes like an industrial thin smokestack, but after some time it recedes letting the amber white tea peek through.

Creamy vanilla sandalwood with a twist of tobacco that gives the blend this dusty spicy twang which tobacco usually does. I feel like I have something similar in my BPAL collection, but can't figure out what.

Later on it's spicy cherry tobacco with a hint of vanilla sandalwood leftover.

Green tea tannins and fluffy rose infused milky clouds. I get a steamed vibe about RMT. The green tea/milk notes show up more distinctly on my skin then the rose one.

2023 release 

I get the spongy dense ale cake with the emphasis on the ale. The lavender dries out the syrupy sweetness and lends a dry air to the entire desert. 

I have generously slathered Tiefling on a warm sunny April day and i was getting the entire time echoes of spice-infused soap suds. The spice registered to me as red and black peppercorns. If you're after spicy soap scents, Tiefling is your answer.

I get fresh fuzzy soft powdery pink carnation petals enhanced by the clove. The whole scent is void of any sweetness. Smells a bit vegetal as a carnation flower would.

Opens up with a syrupy texture, then goes into herbal cooling lavender. Afterwards, a melon note pops up, while the lavender almost fades away. The melon note is unexpected and kind of random. Out of all notes i expected pear, but not melon. Further it develops as a cool melon air or breeze.

Can't believe i didn't review this one.

It has to be my favorite Weenie release of 2024.

The regular Embalming Fluid has been infused with a sparkle of white pumpkin rind and a dash of subdued pumpkin sweetness. Very good match ♥️

Lavender with a metallic bite. Later on it gains some soapy attributes.

Freshly applied, I'm picking something fishy or amphibian, maybe it's the mineral musk or ambergris, but i know for certain that it reminds me of how fish eggs smell. The fishy smell persists well into the drydown. It's more of an aquatic mineral scent to my nose. I struggle wearing it.

I really truly enjoyed this scent. I get no pumpkin spice or fried dough here. To me it resonates more with traditional Easter pastry, namely Pasqua, the kind baked in Christian Orthodox countries. It's that good. Debating whether i need a bottle.
