I don't often gravitate towards floral blends that aren't accompanied by a sweet note, but I really enjoy this one. I feel like I can smell the texture of the petals of the hydrangea note, but there's also a high-pitched aspect to it that reminds me of wisteria. I don't think it's sharp in a bad way, though, and, like wisteria, it has somewhat of a melancholic vibe to me. The sharpness is like that lump in your throat that you get when there's something you want to say, but you become overwhelmed with emotion, and it's hard to get words out. The jasmine in this does not smell indolic whatsoever and does smell pink and different than most jasmine used by the Lab, and it becomes more of a main player after the scent has been dry on the skin for several hours. The white musk lurks behind the floral notes, adding an expensive, yet clean quality to the scent. I am finding myself more drawn to straight-up florals more than usual as of late and wonder if I would have felt the same about this scent if it had been released at a different time in my life. This has massive throw on me, although it does calm down after it is initially applied, and it has great staying power, too, as it was still going strong the next day, before I took a shower. I think this is really pretty and will be needing a bottle before it goes away.

Honey Dust, Patchouli, and Orris Absolute
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lupercalia
I received a tester of this in a decant order. This features the toffee-like honey of the honey dust note. It's accompanied by lots of patchouli, and the two notes are a force to be reckoned with. The orris did not make me smell like I fell into a vat of baby powder, and it is very quiet here. Although this isn't something I could see myself reaching for, it was fun to get to try it. I would recommend it to those who love strong honeyed patchouli scents. -

This is a strong hair gloss that can be smelled in both wet and dry hair (a feat!), but of course, it is strongest in dry hair. It's mostly the scent of stick incense from a metaphysical shop, that happens to have some wisteria-infused into it, backed by sandalwood and oakmoss (with the latter being more noticeable by the end of the day). The wisteria itself is not as strong as it is in Death Moon: Wisteria and White Musk. This is very much about the incense. And I'm not getting any creaminess from the sandalwood cream, but that's okay with me. I plan on hanging onto my decant of this one, but I prefer Death Moon: Wisteria and White Musk Hair gloss for my wisteria fix, so I don't need a bottle.

Beaver Moon: Graham Cracker & Buttercream Lotion
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lotion
This smells like graham cracker crust and buttercream, but it also smells like there's some coconut infused into the buttercream. I received compliments on this one when I used it as a hand lotion in the office one day. It pairs perfectly with its moon and will go so well with many other gourmand scents. I'm surprised it's not getting more love. I'm happy I blind bottled it. -
The cherimoya note is the strongest note in this lotion, and it's the same one from Water Bearer. Sadly, I don't seem to appreciate it here, maybe because it's not paired with lavender? It's giving off a candy floral vibe that reminds me of SweeTarts smushed into a floral note -- I think it's the somewhat soapy lemon blossom note combining with it that's putting me off. I'm not able to pick out the green tea, berries, or sandalwood in this one. The lotion is strong and has good throw, so make sure you like it before you slather it on -- fortunately, I only applied it to the back of my hands. I'm glad that I opted for a sample pot, as this one is not for me.
