On my skin I get the amber and skin musk with a hint of sugared lemon and honey. The amber and lemon lean towards smelling clean - kind of like a sun, warmed clean skin scent because of the skin musk. Personally, I love the kind of amber that is in this scent. This reminds me a bit of Bast, because I think they share a similar amber note, but Seule is a much lighter, sunnier fragrance. This is very pretty, and I got a compliment that I smelt nice while wearing this.

This is a very gourmand cherry and chocolate scent on me. I got the comment that I smelled like chocolates while wearing this. I can definitely smell the cherry here too though and a bit of kick coming from the chocolate which must be the brandy sauce. I can also pick out a subtle biscuit base here. To me the cheesecake note adds a creaminess to the scent and doesn't stand out as being cheesecake. Dries down to be a creamy chocolate and cherry/blackberry scent.

On me this smells like strawberry bubblegum with a hint of carnation. Lotus is a very strong note on me and it's the standout note for me in this blend. I can also smell the strawberry cream but the lotus and strawberry together are creating a strawberry bubblegum effect. Further into the dry down I get a hint of carnation but I can't pick out the peony or iris. It's smells like a very pink and youthful spring time scent

I've worn this one alot since it arrived in the mail but I'm having trouble describing it. On me this starts out very fruity with the cherry juice, plum and red musk but as it settles into the skin the beeswax and skin musk become more noticeable and this dries down to smelling like a skin- warmed beeswax scent with subtle fruit and blossom notes. The tea note here is very subtle and must blend into the fruity notes. Overall, this is very pretty and wearable. I like the combination of the skin musk and beeswax, along with the fruit and blossoms.

2025 version: On me this is a thick coconut and caramel scent over dry spices and the golden amber and tobacco. I don't get the delphinium or the black currant here. The amber and tobacco almost smell smokey and woodsy. Before I came back to look at the notes I would have guessed that this had a cedar note or something similar. The tobacco is coming through quite strongly as a smokey note. This is a scent with alot of throw and it sticks around for a long time. Overall a sweet and smokey coconut scent with an element of dry spices and amber.

This is all cherry blossom and strawberries on my skin. It's very soft, pink and pretty. It reminds me a bit of Pink Moon 2023. So far, I don't get any marshmallow or cream notes, or at least they are not making an appearance yet. I only received this a couple of days ago so perhaps after resting from mail shock those notes will show up. Overall, though this scent smells like soft blossoms and freshly picked strawberries. It's perfect for spring

This is a deep velvety rose and black cherries. As a rose lover, particularly when paired with fruity or vanilla notes, there are no exceptions here and I like this alot. When first applied the cherry note starts out very strong and has an almondy edge but that quickly settles and the Rose peeks out. This gives the impression of a velvety, dark red roses. After this has really settled into my skin the vanilla bean makes an appearance and the result is a beautiful cherry, rose and vanilla scent. I think I may need more of this.

On my skin this starts out with Calla Lily and lilac leading the way. After this settles into my skin I get hints of the green tea and peony milk. The peony milk note is very pretty (I'd love to see this note pop up again) but it stays in the background here. I can pick out all the notes in this scent but I would say that this leans towards being more floral on my skin than a tea scent. For me the lily is the strongest of the floral notes. I would describe it as a fresh, floral scent. The peony milk adds a softness to this scent and green tea gives it that fresh vibe. I really like the stage where the peony and green tea join the party, they really add something unique and give depth to the floral notes. ETA - I've been wearing this for a few days and I love it. Smells like soft peonies and lily's, very elegant.

On me this is a delicate sweet pea and vanilla scent blended with the almond milk. This is a light and airy scent. The sandalwood is very subtle here and the main notes I'm getting are the sweet pea and almond followed by the vanilla. I think that compared to Mouse's long sad tale, this one has less sandalwood and is more sweet pea forward. I think that this one has a different vanilla note too. They are both pretty scents, but they are quite different from one another.
-
On my skin this is all about the lavender and the other notes are in supporting roles. I can smell the citrus notes and a tiny hint of coconut, but I can't pick out the lilac or amber musk. I think that they are hiding behind the lavender. To me, this a relaxing scent that I've been wearing to bed. The combination of the lavender and citrus smells quite spa-like to me.

This starts out with a realistic marzipan note which is very nostalgic for me and reminds me of my grandmother who always brought marzipan. As it dries down the cacao becomes more obvious along with a soft snow note. I can pick out all the notes as this settles into my skin. I also think that this contains a snow note that is similar to the one in Snow White. This is the perfect, comforting winter time scent. This is a thicker oil and takes longer to absorb. Good throw and lasting power as well. I really like this one, it's nostalgic for me and brings back pleasant memories

This starts out with the candied orange note but it is taken over by a soft freesia note and the white honey. I can't pick out the pink peppercorn here or the vanilla. This smells like springtime freesias, blended with the subtle notes of candied orange and honey. I was scared that this scent could be too sweet on me, but it's not. This is more of a floral scent and I find the white honey to be quite light and subtle compared to other kinds of honey. This is like the initial burst of spring put into a bottle.

2024 version - this a true lilac scent on me with a hint of tea and some subtle creaminess from the candlewax. The Lilac is definitely the star here and the other notes blend really well to give the impression of fresh lilacs. I think compared to other lilac scents I have like, Vase de Lilacs and Pleasing two women (from last years Lupers). This one is softer and more ethereal. It's a pretty and delicate scent.

2024 Version On my skin this is a predominantly orange blossom scent. This is over a background of light honey and jasmine tea. This is really what I was hoping for from this perfume - a sweet orange blossom scent that doesn't turn to soap or become too high pitched. I was scared that this may be soapy on me because of the sandalwood as well, but I think the honey and tea stop it from heading in that direction. The orange blossom note itself is very pretty and realistic. It reminds of the Jo Malone Orange blossom perfume. I also get subtle wafts of the apple, sandalwood and lily but they are fleeting and this is mostly all about the orange blossom, honey and tea on me. This is a very light fragrance though and for me required reapplication during the day which I don't normally do.

Beaver Moon: Violet and Vanilla Chiffon
becca_s replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This is a lovely duet. The vanilla note here is one of my favorites. I feel like the vanilla chiffon also has a powdered sugar note or something similar because there is a subtle hint of sweetness here. I get an even blend of both the violet and vanilla, one doesn't end up taking over. This is a low throw scent but it lasts a long time.
