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. -
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!

Turn any perfume into a friggin’ glazed donut. Glazed Donut Troll? Glazed Donut Perversion? Glazed Donut Black Annis? The options are endless, really.

A neutral sheer musk that radiates freshly-washed skin. Can be utilized as a fragrance fixative base beneath more complex BPAL oils.

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.

Honey-Dusted Skin Musk
doomsday_disco posted a topic in Single Notes, Layering Scents & Simple Blends
Comforting and uncomplicated: a toasted honey note, almost caramelized at the edges, that softens into a powdery musk that reads as clean, warm skin that's been kissed by something sweet. -
Ambergris carries a primordial, radiant muskiness: pale and quietly luminous, threaded with hints of sea air, driftwood, and ocean-splashed sunlight. Raw, it holds a faint brininess; aged, it mellows into something smooth and gently sweet, with whispers of tobacco, sandalwood, and open water. This is not a scent that announces itself boldly. Elusive by nature, ambergris works as a fixative, extending and softening whatever surrounds it rather than stepping forward on its own. It is the kind of presence you sense more than smell: it makes other notes linger longer and bloom a little fuller. This is a vegan accord crafted to evoke ambergris and contains no real ambergris whatsoever.

It’s my heritage, and I can be silly if I want to. Tayabak petals, loose and dreaming, butterfly pea steeped to deep ink-blue, languid, heady sampaguita, sweet jackfruit, and calamansi beams radiating from an ube-purple moon.

Fermented savory-sweet depth lifting sweet, hedonistic blooms.

Cedar and graphite illuminated by a light citrus zing.

Velvety, sun-warm stone fruit soaked in smoky tea.

Foresty and carnal, heady blooms twined around a mossy log.

It's actually really interesting and smells amazing. Trust me.

Husky, warm spice cooled into watery, spa-touched notes.
