Milk Moon: Milk & White Musk
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I didn't order a decant of this one, but my decanter kindly included a tester in my decant order. The milk is the star of the show in this duet. It's definitely a dairy milk note and not a plant-based sort of milk. I don't really know what to say about it except for that it smells like cow's milk, and it smells, well, milky, but it doesn't go funky like some dairy notes are wont to do on my skin, and it doesn't morph into butter, so that's nice. The white musk in this is confined to a background role. It's not an effervescent sort of musk, nor is it too clean. While I don't feel the need to upgrade to a bottle of this myself, if you're looking for the closest thing you can get to a milk single note, you should give this a try. -
Milk Moon: Matcha & Pumpkin Rind
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This smells like spiced pumpkin mixed with matcha (and the matcha does have the bitter, somewhat vegetal quality of matcha and does not smell like the Lab's standard citrusy green tea note). I was surprised how heavily spiced this smelled in the decant and when I applied it to my skin, and I thought for sure it would burn me like Nocturne Alchemy's Scaretastic Tea does (which is another pumpkin spice and matcha scent!). However, despite this smelling like I fell into a vat of pumpkin spice, this didn't leave any redness or welts on the back of my hand. (That said, I would never risk applying this to a sensitive area like the crook of the elbows or the neck). Both notes cozy up to each other and are present throughout wear, with the spiced pumpkin being the stronger of the two notes, but eventually, the spices do calm down after several hours, and it smells like syrupy pumpkin with a touch of bitterness from the matcha. I like this and will definitely be keeping my decant, and I'll have to retest it to see if I need more before it goes away. (I think it really depends on if I can only wear this on my hands/wrists or if I'm able to slather it without it aggravating my sensitive skin). This will be great to wear in the autumn. -

A scandalous affair between silk-furred conspirators: tails entwined beneath tables, furrrrtive glances stolen and held too long, stolen hours, arched backs, and the scent of unfamiliar catnip rubbed on jeweled collars. An indolent purr of cream-soaked shortbread biscuits, cracked cardamom, pink pepper, smoked vanilla bean, and cocoa powder.

Spring Wildflower Honey, Grass, and New Mown Hay Atmosphere Spray
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Atmosphere
I can smell the soft petals of the wildflowers mixed with some green grass and some warm hay, all sweetened by some honey. I've tested this on a paper towel twice, and both times, I could smell all of the listed notes at all times, without any of them fading away. If I spray it just in an open area, like over my couch, I get the blast of green but get more honeyed wildflowers in the throw. It's a very pretty spring scent that makes me think of a green meadow dotted with yellow flowers with some hay nearby. I don't get to use my atmosphere sprays as much as I used to these days, so I probably don't need a whole bottle of this one, but I'll definitely be keeping my decant. -

Spring Wildflower Honey, Grass, and New Mown Hay. -
This starts off as a fruity floral scent on me, with the grapefruit being the strongest note at first, followed by the rose, until they switch places, so that it ends up being a pink rose-centric scent backed by a hint of grapefruit, which eventually disappears, leaving the pink rose backed by some light, warm, dry resins and skin musk. This is not sweet like Razors in a Doll's House Hair Gloss, and I only get the barest touch of vanilla in the background if I go searching for it, but it is very sheer and faint since it is buried beneath the rose, resins, and musk. I have a lot of rose scents in my collection, and this one isn't really grabbing me even though I've tried it three times. I think it's because I gravitate more towards sugary florals than fruity florals and florals plus resins, but there are even some non-sugary rose scents that call to me more than this one, so I don't think I need to keep my decant.

Honey Buttercream Cupcake Atmosphere Spray
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Atmosphere
This smells exactly like it says on the tin: it's a honey buttercream cupcake! The honey buttercream is the most prominent aspect of the scent to my nose, but there is definitely a golden cake note beneath the frosting. I think this smells lovely and will definitely be keeping my decant in the original bottle, but I don't think I need a whole bottle of this one. -
Democracy will not come Today, this year Nor ever Through compromise and fear. I have as much right As the other fellow has To stand On my two feet And own the land. I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when I’m dead. I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread. Freedom Is a strong seed Planted In a great need. I live here, too. I want freedom Just as you. – Langston Hughes A scent for community, for communal power, for collective justice; a fragrance of sustenance, comfort, resilience, justice, and the stubborn belief that sweetness belongs to the living, here and now. Crusty brown bread still warm from the oven, golden wheat, clover honey, sweet butter, oat milk, chamomile, and a soft breath of vanilla.

The first time I tried this, it was soft and sweet: oat milk, sweetened by honey and vanilla, and a bit of bread in the background. But the second time I tried it, it was salty and buttery as hell. 😭 I mean, yeah, there's butter in the scent, but where's the salt coming from!? The bread!? I think I also get the wheat with it, too. In any case, it was too salty and buttery for me. I'm not sure why I got this out of it the second time around when it was such a soft, cuddly, sweetened oat milk scent the first time I tried it. I don't need more of this one, but I hope more people experience the sweetened oat milk and not the butter bread bomb!
