A chewy delight made from a blend of rice flour and purple yam, fried in lavender-infused oil and dusted with granulated sugar.

On me, this goes from lavender and something honeydew-esque to a coconut-y type of ube scent. I'm glad there's no strong fried oil note in this, but the melon-like note caught me off guard, and I wish the ube were more buttery and gourmand and not just a coconut-y ube. I really wanted to like this one, because I love lavender and have been trying all of the ube scents hoping to find one to bottle. But I actually prefer Ube Pumpkin Cheesecake to this (even though that one is way more cheesecake than ube).

This one’s a holiday scent for all the Archive of Our Own regulars, proud teratophiliacs, and slashfic aficionados: those brave, unblushing souls who know exactly what tags they’re filtering for and aren’t afraid of a little (or a lot of) morally-ambiguous monster romance. A filthy-sweet gourmand gone feral: scorched caramel and dark cocoa nibs tangled with warm, skin-slick musk, a crack of black leather, a swirl of brandy, and the faint metallic scrape of chains dragged across a bedroom floor.

The worst crime against man’s life was committed by the person who first put gold on his fingers, though it is not recorded who did this, for I deem the whole story of Prometheus mythical, although antiquity assigned to him also an iron ring, and intended this to be understood as a fetter, not an ornament. – Pliny the Elder Molten amber, gilded tobacco flower, and Mysore sandalwood.

Hungry Ghost Moon: Pineapple and Red Hot Honey

Pineapple and Red Hot Honey. -
A festival of frights. A jolly, hulking golem dressed in a gloriously tacky sweater: honey-dipped amber and pocket-warmed gelt, a basket of pumpkin rugelach, a smushed sufganiyah, and a touch of latke grease.

Beams of citrus, apricot, raspberry musk, and neroli herald daybreak, illuminating ambergris and myrrh shadows. Felix Edouard Vallotton

The scent of jubilant freedom, endurance, and justice: juniper berry, oakmoss, ti leaf, terebinth, lemon peel, neroli, white amber, black cherry, pink pepper, and orange brandy. John A. Woodside

A sun-warmed bloom, its fragrance unfurls in lush waves: rich and creamy, like chocolate and nectar mingling in the sultry air. A scent both decadent and wild, glistening with heady sweetness.

“O father, my father, and saw you not plain, The Erl-King’s pale daughter glide past thro’ the rain?” — “O yes, my loved treasure, I knew it full soon; It was the grey willow that danced to the moon.” Moonlit mist clinging to skin the color of ghost lilies, pearlescent and cold. A spectral musk possessing the sheen of river water at night.

A fragrance of celestial revelry: the galaxy whirling in ecstatic fragments of light, joy caught mid-orbit. An effervescent constellation of scent: dazzling points of neroli and sugared lemon flashing like meteors. Electric ozone and crystalline lavender swirl in radiant arcs, luminous as a comet’s tail, with golden heliotrope and night-blooming jasmine stardust. Henri-Edmond Cross

Buttercream-frosted angel food cake and a smear of strawberry lip gloss.

A rapidly melting tower of vanilla ice cream thoroughly glooped with marshmallow sauce and amethyst syrup, speared with shards of waffle cone.

A glass raised to the celebratory spirit of Pride, in defiance of everything conspiring to our collective downfall. *clink* The convivial scent of a Tequila Sunrise (tequila, crème de cassis, lime juice, and sparkling soda water) splashed in the brick-lined gutter.

Raspberry punch with elderberry liqueur, lemon juice, a splash of gin, and a smattering of Victoria sponge crumbs.

A molten heart of slow-cooked milk caramel swirled with vanilla bean and a faint whisper of toasted coconut.

An experiment in single-notes that never went live.

Nothing beats that classic fluffy, bouncy texture, rendered eternally moist thanks to shreds of fresh carrot, delicately spiced and slathered in lavender cream cheese icing – including the obligatory carrot on top, piped in purple frosting.

Ugh, you guys/gals/non-binary pals. This may be the least lavender-y of all of this year's Lavender Kitchen scents (the lavender is strong when it is freshly applied, but it is quick to fade) that I've tried (the only one I didn't try was the seed bread one because I already have Lavender Rosemary Baguette), but I couldn't help swooning whenever I smelled it. This is the most delicious carrot cake scent I have ever smelled! I get lots of rich cream cheese frosting and cinnamon swirled cake-y goodness. It easily beats out Astrid's Carrot Cake Petit Four (too heavy on the spice) and Possets' Mrs. Rabbit's Carrot Cake (which went weird on me during the drydown). I'm not even the biggest carrot cake fan (I mean, I like it, but it's not a cake I'd generally choose over others), and this made me wish I had a piece of it in front of me. I could not stop huffing my arm, and whenever I got a whiff of it from the throw, it was just divine. A decant will not be enough!

Lavender Honey Wine is probably the 2025 Lavender Kitchen scent that is strongest on the lavender, at least out of the gate. At first, it's a blast of herbal lavender, backed by some honey. Over time, the lavender calms down and gives way to the honey wine, and you can tell it's wine and not honey, as there's a bit of fruity booziness to it. By the end of the day, it's honey wine tinged with just a bit of lavender. I like this one, but it doesn't leave me swooning like several of this year's Lavender Kitchen scents have. I'll probably retest this before it goes away to see if I need more of it. But for now, I'm definitely keeping the decant and will probably use it as a sleep scent.

I blind bottled this knowing it would be full of win, and indeed, it is! This is exactly what it says on the tin. I'm getting lots of lavender, marshmallow, and vanilla, with the marshmallow becoming increasingly floofier over time on my skin. The lavender is most noticeable during the first few hours, and then the scent mostly becomes about the marshmallow and vanilla. The vanilla ice cream note is not the same as the one featured in Detestable Putrescence, so if you like lavender, and that particular vanilla ice cream scent didn't work on you, it's still worth giving this one a shot. I'm basic and hoard lavender and vanilla scents, and this one has marshmallow, so I'm going to need more than one bottle in my life.
