Lady of the Unicorn skull – queens escape to majestic mountain air, lace parasol and riding gloves in hand, corseted and bustled, heart filled with longing. An early 19th-century Italian perfume dabbed on black satin and lace – magnolia blossoms, lilac, orris root, and ambergris accord.

A talisman of pleasure carved from the stone of the heart. Blushing rose cognac, sugared pink grapefruit, iced strawberries, and creamy sandalwood warmed by skin musk, vanilla bourbon, and glowing pink amber.

Torch-a, torch-a, torch me! Those who cross the threshold of this crackle-crust of burned sugar will be lost in a creamy abyss of bright, zingy custard.

Gigil. I don’t think there’s an exact translation for this in English, but this is basically Cuteness Aggression, Filipino-style. Good gigil is the feeling of being absolutely overwhelmed by cuteness – VIBRATING because of someone or something’s intense cuteness – like you JUST CANNOT HANDLE THIS LEVEL OF CUTENESS. It’s a feeling somewhere between adoration and agitation? The uncontrollable urge to squeeze someone’s cheeks? Clenching your teeth because you cannot handle the cuteness you are experiencing? The feeling you get when you see a puppy or kitten so cute that you want to cry or scream? I know y’all know what I’m talking about. So, what does nanggigigil ako sayo translate to? It’s sort of… I CANNOT HANDLE HOW CUTE YOU ARE. IF I DON’T SMORSH YOUR CHEEKS I AM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND. Ok, that’s not the literal translation, but you get the gist. (Bad gigil, on the other hand, is when you are about to go volcanic with irritation. When your eyes are watering and your hands are clenching and your teeth gnashing because you are frothing with frustration. There’s too much of that in the world right now, so we’re not going to go there. I’m all bag gigil’d out. I’ve had enough bad gigil to last me a hundred lifetimes.) A scent for all of us who have been exploded by someone else’s cuteness: ube candyfloss and rice paper-wrapped red bean custard candy.

Terrible Moon: Steamed Milk and Marzipan
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This smells like Lush's Snowcake backed by a buttery milk note. I really like the marzipan aspect of this scent, but I could do without the milk. It's still the duet I enjoyed the most from the duets I tried from the Terrible Moon update, though. -
Terrible Moon: Cardamom and Black Amber
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I almost blind bottled this one, but I decided to be good and go the decant route. I'm glad I opted for a decant instead, because the cardamom in this isn't like the cardamom in most scents I've tried. It is not a gourmand sort of cardamom and smells somewhat clean? I love black amber in scents like Black Amber and Sugarcane and Thomas Sharpe, and I generally enjoy cardamom blends, so I thought this one would be a definite win, but nope. I'll just be thankful that I didn't have great luck with the Terrible Moon scents, because the last Beaver Moon update really got me. -

Terrible Moon: White Sandalwood and Cacao Lotion
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lotion
This lotion features a dry, white sandalwood that is the star of the show, backed by what I swear is a fruity sort of cacao? It is not the same sort of sandalwood and cacao found in Velvet, if anyone is wondering. I was hoping that this one would be heavier on the cacao and that the cacao would be more chocolate-y than fruity, so I don't need more than my decant.
