    Beaver Moon 2021

    Like above, when I sniff, there is a wonderful, thick syrupy gooey spicy cherry with a bit of chocolate, like how it smells when you bite into a choco covered cherry. I love cherry scents, but also a little leery of it because it can be either WAY too sweet or smell like cough syrup. I think the addition of the chocolate and pumpkin help makes it smell VERY good!! On, the pumpkin spiciness comes out, but isn't overbearing. The chocolate & cherry are there as well. I get a hint of cheesecake, but no crust. A crust-less cheesecake! As it dries, I get cherry & pumpkin. Sounds odd, but the two smell very good together! I really like this!! I bet it will get amazing with age. This is a good one for foody/gourmand lovers like myself!

    Sugar Cookie Snake Oil

    Just got this delivered... had to test ASAP! Sniffing in the bottle, it is a little weak. However, on my skin, I get what seems like musk. Maybe after it warms up a bit from the mailbox, it will be different. Interested in other reviews to see if anyone else is getting a musk scent Edit to add, I keep getting musk out of this. I hope there wasn't a mix up with bottles & labels. Woke up this morning and can still smell musk on me from this. I really think I got a mislabeled bottle.. and it makes me sad! I do not like musk and it is all I am smelling. Adding it to my swap/sell page.

    PSL: Pumpkin Snake Latte

    HAD to get this scent. I love my Snake Oil and I do have a bottle of Pumpkin Latte that I also love, so heck yeah! Sniffing in the bottle, I can smell both the S.O. and the pumpkin latte! YUM! On my skin, I get an even balance of both scents, oh this is very good! Nice throw for me as well. This is right from the mailbox and it is so good. As we know, this will get better with age as well! Very autumn and cozy!!!

    Razor Blade Candy Apple

    Straight from the mailbox.. I can never wait for a new scent to settle! Sniffing in the bottle, sweet apple! Not sugary, but sweet. On my skin, the candy apple is very fun! Mild and sweet. As it dries, I don't get anything metallic that I thought would be a part of the 'razor blade' part but there is something lingering that makes the candy apple a bit unedible, so be wary biting into it!! This has medium throw and isn't sugary sweet, but has a sweet bite to it. If you are a foody/apple scent lover, you will love this! Editing to add, after testing this, trying to figure out what this reminds me of...it is a close relative to the Lab's Poisoned Apple, but with a candy apple!! I am really digging this!

    White Chocolate and Asian Pear

    [No additional description provided.] Another sweet win! In the bottle, it is a lovely white choco and pear! On skin - it stays the same... it is a sweet choco/pear. Not overly sweet, but sweet enough for foody lovers! Drydown - the pear comes out a little more in front, but the choco is there. Very light.... fades quick, but it is very nice. *Edited to give better review..... did a proper test!
  6. Our boots and clothes are all in pawn! Go down ye blood red roses, go down! A Little Pirate’s indulgence: rum cupcakes and vanilla ice cream with a hot toddy. Can't compare this to the perfume, since boozy scents seem to not work on me, but I had to try the HG! In bottle: Buttery rum cupcakes! YUM! In damp hair: This is actually quite a light scent... I get the rum and cupcake scent right away! I detect the smallest hint of coconut, but that might just be my brain wanting to connect rum with coconut! I don't get "toddy" out of this, but the vanilla and rum cupcake, YES! Very little throw, but it yummy nonetheless! This, to me, would make a great summery HG.

    Fireplace Cinders

    WHOA!! First sniff in the bottle...is a blast of....not sure what I am smelling!! Heavy... very nasal clearing! Could be something like camphor...not sure, but along those lines! On skin - Ok, it does settle into what smells like an almost burned down fire, but there is also something green?? I know that doesn't make sense, but there is something semi aquatic there.... very faint! Surprising low throw on me, but it is more masculine to me. Think this would be better on a guy.
  8. 
Popularized by the reality TV show "Real Cultists of Arkham Hills"! Wow....to be first!! Sniff in bottle: a slightly sweet pumpkin-ish, grainy scent. Maybe that is the treacle? On Skin: Don't get any pumpkin or pecan...although there is a sweetness to it, and that grainy scent. Drydown: Stays the same after a few minutes. Not sure if it's for me...even though I am a foodie lover, especially pumpkin scents, but this seems a bit too grainy. Was hoping for more of a pastry scent...might let this settle since I just got it!!
  9. The scent of chicory coffee (au lait!) and sugared pastries. Oh always fun (and pressure) to be first!! Thanks to my Fairy that got this for me!! In the bottle: Very sweet, almost candy-like coffee! So good!! On Skin: Sweet sugary pale coffee. Would thought the chicory would be stronger.....reminds me of Pumpkin Latte minus the pumpkin! Drydown: The coffee note comes out, but pale. I get a sweet yet sharp sugar note if that makes sense. The Au Lait comes out a bit. This is a beautiful scent and I think it will get richer with age! After about 15 minutes: This gets so good....maybe it is the chicory note I am detecting, but it turns to an awesome slightly bitter coffee note with a whiff of the sugar from the pastry to just soften it up!! If you had issues with other coffee scents (too strong or just odd) you will love this!!

    Cinnamon & Leather

    Like above, this is mostly a leather scent, but it is so nice! I too get a suede out of it, but it is very soft. If you are a leather fan but don't like too strong of scents or anything cloying, as some can be, this is for you! It stays close to the skin on me and has a medium throw. I don't detect the cinnamon, but yes, I believe it tames the leather. I really love this scent! It is simple and great alone but would make a great layering note!

    Whip Hair Gloss

    Agony and ecstasy: black leather and damp red rose. Can't believe I am first....seem other people would have gotten this already! In the bottle - I get roses...just roses. It is a soft rose, nothing too strong, but it's there. I am worried about it because I am not a rose fan, but most of the time, the HG counterpart to perfumes tend to work. On damp hair - Well, I still get rose. It is kind of nice. I am not detecting the leather in it, but it might be just that note that is keeping the rose from being too overbearing. But like most of us, I am sure, notes we don't like tend to be "overpowering" to our noses. Not sure I want to keep this... it is a perfect HG for springtime.... it is light and rosy, but I was hoping for a bit more of the leather to peek out. If you are a fan of light florals and roses, this is for you! Delicate in fact... to me at least.

    Coffee Bean & Caramel

    So excited to have this! I love anything coffee scented! Sniffing in the bottle, I get both notes... slightly bitter coffee and sweet caramel! On my skin, it stays the same. This is a yummy blend of both notes. The coffee bean is more dominant, but the caramel is in the background. This stays close to my skin... medium throw. I really love this and I hope it gets richer with age, even though it is very good as is now. This is great alone or to use to layer with another scent!

    Twelve Drummers Drumming Hair Gloss

    Recently got a sample of this....I remember when it came out and seeing the notes I thought this is not for me, BUT, oh my goodness... this is a super awesome scent. The leather is just right. Not too strong and not weak. Not getting chrome spikes, but this is a nice, masculine scent that anyone can wear! If you love leather scents, find this. I need to find me a bottle!

    Candlewax & Chocolate

    As stated above, I get mostly that beeswax scent with a dash of chocolate. On my skin, I don't get much chocolate at all, it is mostly beeswax, but my skin tends to eat up chocolate notes. This isn't foody or gourmand to me, so if you are one that fears it is, no worries. It is sweet and delicate on me. My nose could be playing tricks on me but this has a little bit of floral sweetness to it. Wax with something sweet. Stays close to the skin on me.

    Black Coffee

    Sniffing in the decant, yummy coffee... seems it isn't all black coffee, maybe a hint of cream! On my skin, it is a good coffee scent, not burnt as some has been to me and not bitter. This, to me smells like a good cup of joe on my skin! This is great alone and I bet it would work to layer with another scent!! Might have to get a bottle!

    Pumpkin Lace

    A smoky, dark pumpkin scent, inspired by Victorian Halloween postcard illustrations: a cascade of cobwebby white sandalwood threaded through vanilla bourbon, sharp green cognac, Virginia tobacco, and caramelized sugar, all draped across a freshly carved jack olantern. In bottle: Lovely pumpkin with some spice. Can smell the booze note....not sure if it's the bourbon, cognac or both. Not too shabby! On Skin: Same spiced pumpkin, but not overpowering...soft, but the booze note gets stronger, but I tend to amp booze. I get a little bit of that "lace" scent....must be the white sandalwood. Dry Down: Still a bit boozy for me, but I love the soft pumpkin note. It does smell like a nice pumpkin shawl, but then there is a floral undertone that comes out a bit. I love how this ends up smelling after about 15 minutes, but this one isn't right for me. I have had trouble liking past laces, but if they work for you, get this one.

    Blackcurrant Pie

    Got a decant of this...maybe something else got mixed in, because I don't get fruit or crust, but something perfume-y! If I sniff hard there might be some dark fruit, but there is this floral perfume scent that comes out. Not a fan...

    Peppermint & Pine

    I have been wanting a nice pine scent that doesn't go too powerful or ends up smelling like pine sol, and I was hoping this, with the peppermint, would be a good scent. Sniffing, I do get the pine and peppermint. On my skin, like all peppermint notes, it disappears and all I have is pine.. and it is just too much for me. Sadly this was a miss. Might be good for laying, as said above, but I amp the pine and just isn't for me.

    Marshmallow Snow

    This is sweet... and lovely. Sniffing in the bottle, there is this sweetness... but hard to pinpoint what it is, it is a mix of herbal sweetness and candy sweetness. On my skin, the marshmallow sweet part comes out but then there is that "other" sweet note.. and for the life of me, I have no idea what it is...herbal for sure, but then not! It softens up and I don't get marshmallow per se, but it is a very nice sweet scent. It is gentle and not crazy. I see it as a relative of Snow White.

    Gingerbread Zombie

    Always fun to be the first!! I LOVE this! I am a fan of most gingerbread scents and this one does NOT disappoint! Sniffing in the bottle, I get gingerbread.. nothing else, and it is very good. Like a cookie, but not overly sweet. On my skin, I get the gingerbread, a hint of mint and chocolate. Not getting vanilla, but that could be what it keeping the gingerbread note from being too.... baking spice. If that makes sense. This is so good. If you are worried about it being too sweet or too ginger-y, it isn't. It has a nice, dry baking quality to it. It has medium throw on me. After a bit, I get mostly the gingerbread and a touch of the chocolate. This is gourmand to me. Very comforting scent. I wish it had more throw because I can't stop sniffing my wrist! LOVE this!

    Cherry Cream Pie Chypre

    Like above, sniffing in the imp, the cherry is very sweet and bright! It does have a creamy smell to it...it is very nice! On, the cherry cream stays true! I am not sure what chypre smells like, but to me, this is definitely a fruity pie smell! I love this... again, wish this was in bottle form as most cherry scents, on me, can smell like cough syrup or a plastic maraschino cherry! This stays sweet and creamy....very dessert like! Just need a dollop of ice cream with it now!

    Pumpkin Pie Musk

    Mmm..sniffing in the vial, there is pumpkin pie and musk!! SO glad I placed an order and got these amazing imps. Have to review this one first! On, the musk is in the forefront, but there pumpkin pie is right there with it! I am usually not a musk fan, but this is blended so well! One of those scents I wish was in bottle form. As it dries, the musk fades a bit, and I am left with a beautiful, rich pumpkin scent with a hint of the musk! This is nice and strong...a little goes a long way. This is a wonderful warm scent. This would go over with foodie & musk lovers!

    Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Pie

    Oh...my...goodness!! This is amazing! Sniffing in the bottle, I get the chocolate and pumpkin. Both strong! On my skin, it smells very close to Pumpkin V 2009, but chocolate instead of the coffee. This has an amazing throw. After it dries, I get a little less chocolate and more pumpkin...the good pumpkin. Spiced and delicious! Just need a dollop of whip cream now! If you are a foody fan, you must get this! This is back up bottle worthy! I am so in love!!!! ?

    Apple Butter Rum

    Spiced rum with cinnamon, apple butter, nutmeg, and thick vanilla cream. Had to get this one... apple is almost always a win note for me! In the bottle... smells of a pleasantly sweet apple and vanilla cream. It smells buttery, but not butter as in on popcorn or toast! On skin, oh this is so good!! It is a still, creamy vanilla apple! The rum comes out a bit... not getting any spice from this as of yet. As it dries, it stays close to my skin, but it keeps the vanilla/apple scent. Like a lightly baked apple that was dipped in heavy cream. This is very good!! If you are afraid of the cinnnamon and/or nutmeg, don't be. That are way in the background...this smells so good and I am hoping it will get better with age. If not, it is still a wonderful winner!! Edit to add: Been about 45 minutes and this is still going strong and yummy. The nutmeg comes out at last, but it is still a background player!

    Waiting

    Been a while since I have reviewed any scents, BUT when I saw this one, I HAD to have it! Anything with coffee, chocolate, gingerbread and pumpkin!! And with ALL of these, insta buy! I get every note sniffing in the bottle... and on, I get gingerbread, pumpkin & coffee...not so much the chocolate note, but any chocolate scents seem to disappear on me, but this is so amazing! This is a comfort scent and perfect for cooler weather. It has medium throw on me. I recommend this for any gourmand/foodie lover!
