A gourmet shake infused with honeyed goat milk, incense smoke, yew bark, black pepper, mandrake root, ambrette seed, red currant, kitchen herbs, fly agaric accord, and a heaping helping of malted barley powder.

The ambergris-tinged floodlight sweat of the stage and the warm press of hundreds of bodies forever reaching, gold velvet crushed under a stranger's palms, a smear of actor's greasepaint, sweat-slick leather straps, and frankincense tears all masking an orris root-tinged centuries-old sorrow at the heart.

Red Bean Paste and Wisteria
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I blind bottled this one because I've been enjoying the Lab's red bean paste note and have found myself really enjoying wisteria in the past year, so since this features two notes I seek out, I figured it should be up my alley. The wisteria in this is more heady than I'm used to and doesn't have the high-pitched quality it usually has in the other scents I have featuring that note. It's at the front of the stage, backed by the red bean paste, which again, is very accurate, and I believe it's the same one found in Peach and Red Bean Paste Hair Gloss. I also feel like there's a bit of breadiness with the red bean paste, like it's contained within a bun? But I only get that after it has been on the skin for several hours. On me, this has great throw. I wore this to run some errands after sunset on a day with the temperature in the triple digits, and I'm sure the heat probably contributed to it having a ton of throw, but in any case, I was able to smell this scent on myself without having to lift my arm to my nose. Although the headiness of the wisteria was unexpected for me, I do appreciate it with the earthy red bean paste and will be hanging onto my bottle. -

Petrichor
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Single Notes, Layering Scents & Simple Blends
This smells nice, but it doesn't smell like the scent you get when it's about to rain -- rather, it smells like the scent you get after it has already rained. I get a really good rain note that I think might be the same one from Waiting 2016. The rain is accompanied by a smidge of dirt that's quick to fade, a bit of moss, and a little stone -- but it's not as prominent as the asphalt note in Waiting 2016. Although this doesn't remind me of actual petrichor, I do appreciate the scent and will keep the imp around to try layering it with other scents and wear next time there's a rainy day in the desert. -
You asked for it, you got it. Petrichor is the smell of rain hitting dry earth and is one of the most universally beloved scents in the world. It's cool and green, with a deep, almost mineral dampness underneath, like wet clay or stone that's been sitting in the sun. There's something alive in it too: a faint earthiness that comes from the soil itself, mossy and organic, with a clean freshness that feels like the air has been completely renewed. It's neither sweet nor sharp, but inhabits a soft, grey-green space that feels both ancient and immediate.

Sugar Glaze
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Single Notes, Layering Scents & Simple Blends
I've tried this one a few times, but on its own, not layered with any scents. Sugar Glaze features a mixture of sugar and vanilla notes. I get the lemony sugar that smells like one of the sugar notes from 13 March 2020, a powdered sugar note, the Lab's sheer bourbon vanilla, and a touch of a billow-y vanilla pops up after it has been on the skin for a few hours. It's definitely sugary, but it doesn't remind me of the glaze on a baked good as it's a bit too perfume-y for that. On its own, this scent stays close to the skin and doesn't have any throw -- I have to put my nose up to my wrist in order to be able to smell anything. That said, it might be different slathered or layered with another scent as intended. While I like this, I think I'm fine with just my imp. -
Turn any perfume into a friggin’ glazed donut. Glazed Donut Troll? Glazed Donut Perversion? Glazed Donut Black Annis? The options are endless, really.
