I love this. 🥹 I agree with the above impressions, and especially that of Invidiana. This smells like a windswept castle on a seaside cliff. It’s cold, mossy, grassy, and clean. I’m personally happy to not get too much of the lime note, but I do sort of sense its presence in the background, and it’s maybe the reason for the seaside image in my head. It is a little soapy, but it’s clean and pretty, and I really love this sort of scent. ❤️

Lots of jammy but not-quite-ripened strawberry, on a pillow of mild. fresh, just-blooming cherry blossom. The creaminess is delicate, not overpowering, prominent, or funky. The strawberry and cherry blossom are equally present. It's a pretty, playful, innocent, delicate fruity floral.

At the First Touch of Winter, Summer Fades Away
ellocentipede replied to Jenjin's topic in Limited Editions
I love this one. It reminds me of a scent that I used to love--maybe Snow Moon 2005? The florals are super pretty and smell like wildflowers (a little grassy/springy/breezy). The frost is one of my favorite cold/snowy notes from the Lab--it's clean and fresh with a hint of mint. Overall this is a really lovely fresh, clean, floral scent. I've been wearing it to work pretty constantly lately. -
I love this! It’s reminding me a bit of Blue Wig Spray (I think). I get sugared violets and lilac, and with a bit of wear I start to smell a bit of salt, which is sort of like the smell of skin after a beach day.

I really love this. It smells like a cozy old-fashioned fire-warmed kitchen: there's a cheerful blaze in the hearth and the table is set with gently-spiced baked goods and mulled wine. It's atmospheric and cozy and lifts my spirits.

I really love this one. It smells like velvety antler fuzz on a young buck in a forest. It also smells a lot like the gif that Jenjin posted. It's an optimistic and youthful take on Buck Moon!

Walking My Daughter to Class

Lemony tea with a little freshly-grated bergamot zest, sweetened with a smooth vanilla. I’m not getting any oakmoss (which is A-OK with me), so I think it’s more of a grounding element for the blend. This is a beautiful Dorian blend. -
This scent would be at home as either a Weenie or a Yule. Equal parts gently-spiced gingerbread and pumpkin bread, to my nose, with just a weeee gentle hint of coffee.

Yessss! This one is amazing. I get lots of sugary, floofy, fruit-punch flavored cotton candy (and now this is something that I desperately want to try in real life) and warm, perfect popcorn with a tiny kick of salt. The popcorn becomes more prominent with wear. I’m sure that the day that inspired this blend was the happiest day!

Mmmm. Rich, custardy flan and freshly mixed cake batter. It’s warm, creamy, and decadent without being overly sweet.

This makes me think of Christmas! It’s like crushed soft peppermints (the good stuff) over creamy vanilla and white chocolate ice cream.

A Night In the French Quarter
ellocentipede replied to zankoku_zen's topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
Oh this is gorgeous. It’s like the nighttime counterpart to A Little Piece of Eternity, which I also love. I get rain-soaked osmanthus and dark plum. The rain note is warm, and not sharp, the osmanthus is perfectly heady without going funky, and the plum provides a nice deep pop of darkness. This does evoke nighttime in the Quarter to me, and is one of my very favorite scents from this update. -
Surprisingly, this one is a little perfumey to my nose. I think it’s the combination of the paper and cotton with my skin chemistry. The lavender, to my nose, is of the floral and softly sharp variety. This is a bookish blend, but it’s an elegant one that could be worn to something fancy, not a snuggly one to curl up and read with.

I avoid benzoin because it usually smells like sharp chemicals on my skin, but this one so far is benzoin-less to my nose. I get lots of heady, waxy ylang ylang and the most beautiful pink woody chypre. Everything is wrapped in a beautiful, soft, pink vanilla cloud.
