    Banana Cream, Black Coconut & Raw Chocolate

    This is delicious banana pudding with coconut dusted on top. It’s really yum. In the dry down the chocolate comes out as a light powder with banana still lingering lightly. So good. Medium throw and wear time.

    Yabluchnyk

    This is a delicious apple and cinnamon pastry scent. I didn’t get much cherry. There was wafts of peach from time to time but only subtly. I wasn’t getting much brown sugar but more would’ve been nice.

    The Empress and Their Heckhound

    This is beautiful mostly strong lavender and sandalwood on me. I do wish the hazelnut came out more for me though. Cute label too.

    Deep Fried Gingerbread

    This smells like a fried doughnut with a little bit of gingerbread spice in the dry down. It’s a little oily but in the best way, just enough to be foodie not bad. This is what I wanted Scream Inside Your Heart to smell like. So if that made you say yuck definitely try this one! It’s way better! 😋

    Chocolate Babka

    This smells like a chocolate croissant to me. A nice bakery chocolate. Sweet and fluffy pastry and not yeasty. Very nice.

    Acid-Laced Butterscotch Lozenge

    This is like a butterscotch and cinnamon cookie on me. It got better with a little resting so definitely check your bottle if you haven’t in a while it’s getting more yummy 😋

    Salted Caramel Shortbread

    Dusted with cocoa and crushed nuts. Fresh from the mail today it started very salty like a Mother Shub scent but then the salt calmed way down and a yummy snickerdoodle dough type scent rose up and was so tasty! Loved the morphing on this scent.

    Fuck It, Might As Well Lick It

    This is a good Lick It but not my favorite. It’s a nice peppermint but very light on me. Love the candy cane label though. It’s less sweet than Don’t Lick It if you want that.

    Don’t Lick It

    This is probably one of my favorite Lick Its. It smells like a delicious candy cane and has the best throw of any Lick It. I tested it against Fuck It Might as Well Lick it too. That one isn’t as sweet.

    Gnome Ruckus

    I get yummy popcorn and a little cream something in the background. It’s really yummy. Makes me think of watching movies on the couch in the dark munching on candy and popcorn 🍿 Cute!

    Nightingale

    This was a lovely vanilla with light oats but it was so light! Hardly any throw and staying power! Bummer.

    Chocolate Buttercream

    This was a yummy chocolate frosting on me that faded fast and disappeared on me quickly. So sad 😭

    Cotton Candy, Strawberry & Lime Zest

    Hmmm so this one is mostly Strawberry on me and Lime which isn’t sitting well on my skin. But after the dry down the cotton Candy finally comes out and that’s the best note for sure, but sadly it’s so soft. I get the appeal of this scent it’s a fun fruity gem but not toothsome enough for me. 🍓

    El Dia de los Reyes

    I reviewed this back in 2015 and it was for the 2013 version which was amazing. I’m back again because I recently got the newest version and it’s incredible! I love this scent so much! The chocolate is decadent and the other notes just meld so well together! It’s a definite fav still. The throw and staying power is amazing too! Bonus!!! My son even said it was his favorite of my Yules!

    Marshmallows, Gumdrops, and Peppermint Canes

    On me this was a really nice marshmallow mint scent. I didn’t get any clove or anise. Maybe it would come out with some aging. Only bummer was the throw wasn’t very big, and my skin seemed to eat it up sadly. Ended up swapping it.

    The Pancake Bell

    Delicious maple syrup with a glob of honey. Little nutty on the dry down. I don’t get gingerbread really. But it’s yummy! Smells like breakfast morning. Cool label too because PANCAKES! 😋

    Rite of Passage

    This was more like a vanilla latte on me with a little of pumpkin spice not pumpkin. As it dried down the espresso note came out and lingered. It had decent throw but not very long staying power. Cute label.

    Pumpkinville

    This was just like the description pumpkin spices and red musk, sadly the red musk went powdery on me and not in a good way. It smothered any foodie pumpkin that I wanted. Sadly sold off my bottle.

    Dead Leaves, Marshmallow, and Pistachio Cream

    Took a chance on this because dead Leaves scents haven’t worked for me in the past but I’m so glad I did. This is mostly delicious pistachio cream and marshmallow on me. I barely get leaves. It may be a tiny bit of warmth being added but not hard spice, or rotten leaves. It’s so comforting too. I find I’m sniffing myself all day when I need to relax. Not the biggest throw but definitely stayed on the skin a long time! So good! 😋

    Cerberus’ish 

    This is amazing! It’s a delicious spicy chai! I get marshmallow too and it’s so good! The notes work well together. I don’t get much honey and that’s ok. Not much stick either but the toasty smoky note just rounds it all out! 😋

    The Joy of Fatherhood

    I completely agree with frizzlechicken this is all gummy bears and not much else! On the dry down I get a faint bit of vanilla cake. Kinda disappointed I wanted all the other notes and hoped the gummy bear would be the lightest lol 😝

    Lavender and White Chocolate Madeleines

    I love this scent! It turned me onto Lavender scents in general. That said this is a delicious buttery Madeleine cookie with white chocolate balancing the lavender and cookie. It’s hard to describe but it’s just lovely. I feel like Marie Antoinette would wear it or eat the cookies at least! Beth I need this recipe lol 😋

    Ghost Milk

    I adore this scent! The name means a lot to me and reminds me of my son. And the scent is a cozy marshmallow, white chocolate, with a little something more. Not sure what but it’s comforting. Reminds me of Stekkjarstaur a little too.

    The Twelfth

    I believe that its important to commemorate important, pivotal moments in a childs life, and 17 October 2015 marks the first time Lilith really experienced Doctor Who. The episode was the Girl Who Died, and we watched it in a hotel room in Seattle. Lilith has given many other Doctors a spin since that day, but by far her favorite is the Twelfth. This is the scent of room service vanilla ice cream and leftover cake with a little bit of banana. When you sniff the bottle it's delicious sweet banana. On the skin I get banana pudding with vanilla ice cream! It's sooooo good! In the throw there's definitely cake too! I love this! It's so yummy!!
  25. Let’s be real: I just wanted an excuse to make a scent inspired by this photo. Lilith and I have incredibly similar senses of humor, full of fart jokes and gross outs and vulgarity. I love her belly laugh, I love how weird and surreal she is. I love that her jokes fall in a strange void somewhere between Harpo Marx, Deadpool, and Andy Kaufman with a huge helping of knock knock jokes that make no sense at all. I love that she and I laugh at so many of the same things, and I love that she and I sometimes laugh together until we’re crying and cramping. This scent is a ridiculous mélange of blue cotton candy, strawberry marshmallows, and whipped cream with sprinkles. This scent was mostly a sweet strawberry candy scent on me. In the dry down a little of the marshmallow came out and I definitely get whiffs of cotton candy too. No sprinkles really. It had light throw and not much staying power.
