    The Serpent in the Berries

    This is lovely! In the bottle it's quite synthetic fruit but happily it morphs into rich dark berries with a tiny background of Snake Oil. I'm interested to see how this ages as this impression is obviously straight out of the box.

    Dreamer of Dreams

    In the bottle and wet on it's like being repeatedly beaten by a big bunch of lavender! Once it's dry it starts to behave a bit better and I see the champaca and sandalwood start to make an appearance. After a couple of hours it's a gorgeous woody resinous scent with a tiny bit of cacoa. It's soft and gentle and comforting, and to me is like smelling the shirt of a loved one.

    Ezekiel’s Vision of God

    In the bottle and when just applied it’s fresh coconut with a little backbite of frankincense. After a while it becomes a very comforting snuggly sort of coconut with a hint of amber. I don’t notice the frankincense at all once it’s dry.
  4. ReallyZeb

    Twin Stars

    When I first put it in it was really sharp and citrusy, even after drydown. Now, about 2 hours later, it was morphed into a much smoother and gentler scent with the cashmere note dominating. I’m picking up a bit of bergamot and oud and maybe a smidge of apple but none of the other notes. It gives an overall impression of fuzzy fruit!
  5. ReallyZeb

    Cat at the Table

    In the bottle and wet it's sharp yet ‘perfumey’ and slightly lemony as it dries. It becomes creamy once dry with tea starting to appear and some sort of flowers appearing. Very gentle, I’d love my laundry to smell like this! It's like the memory of a hug, or the faint scent that remains on a piece of clothing that belongs to someone you love. Very low throw and doesn't last long on me but really lovely.
  6. ReallyZeb

    Raminou

    In bottle it's rich and resinous. Just applied the honey shines through with a tiny touch of saffron - still very resinous, that’s not going anywhere. Once dry it is sweet but not foodie, red musk leading but the honey and vanilla making it a little furrier and the saffron present but staying in the background. Later on it is a gorgeous honeyed musk. Good throw but not overwhelming. Lasts a long time on me.
  7. ReallyZeb

    White Cat

    In the bottle and wet I get a faint nuttiness and cream. Once dry it is sweet, creamy, with a tiny bit of musk and lemon. The amber gets more prominent over time but its still creamy. After an hour it is amber scented marshmallows. Low throw.
  8. ReallyZeb

    Entrance to Cadzow Forest

    Overwhelmingly green in the bottle. When wet it is also all about the green, rich and lush but with a slight spicy undertone. It gets spicier as it dries, I think this is the sunlight and dried grasses. After a short time drying the green leaves take over, with almost a wildflower note. This is glorious, I could happily spend an afternoon dozing in a clearing in this forest. After about an hour it has faded quite a bit but stays green and I love it.

The Nightmare Before Christmas) Does Sandman count? non-U.S folks!!! We always end up asking what we'd like from your exotic-to-us locales, but do you have any wishes for things from the States?

Check out Cherry Republic and let me know if anything catches your eye! Most things I like won't travel well or are too heavy (CHerriyaki Sauce!), but cherry shortbread and Michigan Minnows look good Similarly, are you into fancy flavors of olive oil or vinegar? Check out Fustini's and let me know if anything appeals! Herbs de Provence or Persian Lime oils, and the Bourbon Maple Syrup We also have an awesome store for jams and sauce, American Spoon which you should totally check out! Smoky Corn Salsa looks so good but it would be too heavy Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup? Always Finally, I live in a place known for fudge. Do you like it and/or are their flavors you particularly like? My favorite shop is Murdick's if you need to see a flavor list. Fudge is always awesome - Butter Pecan, Butterscotch, Cherry, German Chocolate, Maple Bourbon Pecan, Penuche, Chocolate Espresso or Turtle would be awesome Anything from the IKEA Halloween store catch your witchy eye? https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/campaigns/halloween/ Thos pumpkin string lights https://wildsoulriver.com I own the Magical Nature Tarot and love the feel of the cards.

Would you rather have two different 100g skeins or enough of the same something for a bigger project? Not my sort of thing Provided my experiments work, would you be interested in a bar of homemade tallow soap? I promise I will not send you anything particularly suspect, so this is entirely contingent upon my competence. No thank you Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy? Shortbread would, caramels sadly damage my teeth What are your chocolate preferences? White, milk, dark? What inclusions (fruit, nuts, none, etc.)?

(They have mini and micro sizes for those who like cute plushies but don't have a lot of space.) Not really my thing Would you wear enamel pins with chains that are meant to be put on lapels? (Something like this.) No thank you Speaking of enamel pins... The Pickety Witch's Autumn and Halloween collection just dropped. Has anything caught your eye?

But this time it's actual Mabon. So Witchee dearest, would you like some? Not for me thank you Witchee, do you like anything from Lenny Mud? I wish I had room for more mugs as some of those are excellent, but I really don't 9/22 From previous questions you've answered, I know a lot about the teas you'd like from specific places, but I want to know your more general tea preferences.

    The Little Ghost who Died for Love

    Beautifully green and wet when ... well, wet! Once it's dry, it is fresh and green with very gentle bergamot and only a tiny hint of white musk. This will be perfect for hot summers
  11. ReallyZeb

    Pazuru

    On me it starts out almost aniseed but very quickly dries down to creamy flowers, honey and a very mild hint of spices. This smells very grown up and I'm possibly too much of a chaotic mess to wear it!

These beans have been steeping for 2 years in a very nice bourbon. Sounds lovely Are there any colors you would prefer your gnome not to have? Yellows and pinks If the creativity bites, would you possibly like a small embroidered gnome? Could be an ornament? Any gender preference or details you might like added (small mushroom, bee, heart or egg...)? Yes, mushrooms or bees Do you have a need for cheese knife? https://ototodesign.com/products/bert-cheese-knife? No but that's lovely! I'll be in Seattle next week- any treat you might enjoy from the PNW? Spoopy/ Gothy things? Nice coffee beans? A Nirvana t-shirt...? Seattle chocolate - the filled kind I'll be back in Disney World next month- anything you might like from Epcot or Hollywood Studios? Not my sort of thing Would you be interested in a small copper nature totem that could nestle in your garden or amongst your plants? I can do some chasing to create a mushroom or a leaf or a special bug fren... yes, any of those Would you be interested in a decorative pillow or zippered pouch featuring a gnomely figure? like this? or a little coin purse? or please tell me to make this because oh my gods... That last one is quite cute I have an angora rabbit and she's currently molting. Would you like rabbit fur for spinning, felting, or other crafty uses? No thank you, I have a cat that does that! Do you need any spices? Not really, I have an awful lot How would you feel about gnome-inspired clothing? Socks maybe

    Black Cherry, Vanilla Bean, and Champaca

    In the bottle I get juicy black cherries and that persists when it is wet on my skin. It makes my mouth water! As it dries the vanilla begins to appear, and then the champaca, and the juicy cherries are almost gone. Once dry, all I get is vanilla and champaca, no cherries at all
  14. This is very nutty in the bottle and wet, with a slight burnt note. Dries down to a sweet balance of all three, really beautiful.

    Spring

    In bottle - vague laundry detergent, very faint flower that I think is maybe peony? Wet - getting stronger, but still mostly laundry As it dries, flowers finally appear, but can’t pick any specific ones out, except more heady than the Cottage Garden flowers. After a while turns beeswax on me which is confusing. Low throw and doesn’t last long. I'm hoping that after a few months it has aged enough for the incense to be more prominent.
