This starts off with a burst of black cherry, backed by the rose, and followed by a bit of powdery vanilla. Then, the lipstick accord emerges, and it's the same extremely realistic, creamy, waxy accord from Black Lipstick, only the red ingredients accompanying it here make it evocative of a red lipstick. The iris in here isn't sharp and screechy like it usually is on me, but it definitely becomes more classic iris-infused lipstick with powdery vanilla and less about the other notes after a few hours of wear. I find this to be more wearable than Black Lipstick, but that may be because I'm a cherry ho. But since the cherry is fleeting, I don't feel I need more of this one. But I really appreciate Beth's artistry here.

Although they share some similar notes, this smells nothing like Kiseru to me, which had vanilla and tobacco notes that I prefer (Antique Lace-esque vanilla musk and French tobacco) to the vanilla and tobacco used in this scent. The vanilla in this, despite the vanilla cream in the description, is more like a skin musk-y bourbon vanilla to me, and the sandalwood is a dry one. There's very little blackcurrant here, and what blackcurrant there is is most noticeable when the scent is freshly applied. I prefer And Though They Are With You Yet They Belong Not To You for my vanilla and sandalwood fix.
-
Alas, this one is not for me. I'm getting an unexpected strong, dark musk with the leather on my skin, backed by the resins and tobacco (although they are far in the background), with no chocolate in sight. Wahh! Where's my chocolate!? And why art thou here, musk!?

Lemon cream, incense smoke, and candle wax.
-
This starts off with the lemon being sharper than I had anticipated and giving me citronella candle vibes, but it isn't long before the beeswax and the cream part of the lemon cream smooth it over, so that it's like the creamy beeswax and smoke of scents like (Not So) Penitent (Mini) Magdalene and Shouutsushi Aioi Genji plus lemon cream. I'm going to have to spend more time with this one to see if I need more of it. The wet phase is rough, but the end result is so lovely! Yet I have so many beeswax scents that I don't reach for enough as it is... but this will be perfect to wear during Maomao (Apothecary Diaries) Fridays, so...

This is mostly about the rosemary liqueur and the bright white tea on me. There's nothing overtly fabric-y to my nose, and while the vanilla is more noticeable after the scent has been dry for several hours, it is not a main player on me. I'll have to retest this before it goes away to see if I need more of this, but I'll definitely be keeping the decant! I agree that it would be refreshing to wear during the warmer months (and we've already hit 90 degrees in April, so I guess that means now ).

Rooibos tea, a scattering of russet leaves, maple sap, and the fast-fading scent of once-green grass. Hans Andersen Brendekilde

I received a tester of this in a decant circle order, and while I didn't feel the urge to upgrade to a bottle, I was pleasantly surprised by this one despite not typically getting along with the Lab's dead leaves accords. I'm not a fan of actual rooibos tea unless it's adulterated with some flavoring or other flowers and herbs, but the rooibos here kind of reminds me of Nocturne Alchemy's black tea note, as there's a hint of spice to it. The leaves don't veer into cologne territory, and I don't smell any neroli in them (huzzah!). Maybe it's because the leaves aren't dead for once, like other reviewers have noted. And the grass combines with the leaves and the lightly spiced tea note in a way that perfectly befits the painting that inspired this scent.

Sweetly diabolical, a mischievous twist on the infernal. Rich butter melts into caramelized sugar, vanilla marshmallow, a delicate touch of cream and milky musk, and the warm, comforting aroma of fresh-baked bread rolls. Please note: this oil contains butter CO2 extract.
-
This is a very milky and buttery bread scent. Yes, I smell the caramelized sugar with those notes, but it is predominantly the milky musk and buttery cream on a bed of bread on me. Although I didn't deathmatch this with anything, I'd say this is more along the lines of Unsubtle Euphemism than something like Lavender Rosemary Baguette or Lavender Avocado Toast. It was nice to be able to try this, but it is sadly too milky for me.

The Hall of Forgotten Gods Atmosphere Spray
doomsday_disco replied to alterosen's topic in Atmosphere
This one smells like stick incense to me, like you'd find in a metaphysical shop or an indie record store. I don't really get a heavy smoke/charred note, but there is a bit of dryer sheet behind the incense. (I sprayed this on a paper towel to test it instead of spraying it in the air.) -
A fierce rush of pink pepper, carnation, pulsating red berries, and crimson musk. She used to place her pretty arms about my neck, draw me to her, and laying her cheek to mine, murmur with her lips near my ear, “Dearest, your little heart is wounded; think me not cruel because I obey the irresistible law of my strength and weakness; if your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours…”
-
Black orchid, cacao, bitter almond, and black musk. You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me and still come with me. and hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature.

A blend that helps you to muster the wisdom to know the right action to take under stressful situations. This oil contains solomon’s seal, hyssop, rose otto, frankincense, and rue.

His caramel-filled and caustic sermons Poured frozen poison in my soul. With endless slandering remarks He tempted Providence; He claimed that beauty’s but a dream; Felt scorn for inspiration; He had no faith in musk or chocolate; He looked on life with ridicule- And in the whole of nature He did not wish to praise a single thing. Frozen white chocolate and the heart-stopping chill of sheared mint, fanned by caramel-touched body heat, and the diabolical sensuality of black musk, nicotiana, and sage.
