    Shadow Embrace Bath Oil

    Smoky black orchid and agarwood. Gorgeous!!! Orchid and fragrant (not indolic) agarwood. A little perfumey in a good way. The orchid note is a bit vanilla-y. This smells expensive and is reminding me of something—Selbstverliebt maybe?

    The Fiery Clinch of Ecstasy Hair Gloss

    Russet musk, white cream amber, sweet red patchouli, and pink pepper. Oooh boy, a lot of people are going to love this one. Red musk and sugary patch lovers rejoice! It’s sweet wood, musk, and cream. The pepper keeps it peppy. The sweet patchouli is dominant. This one’s a beauty.

    Fallen Woman Hair Gloss

    White honey, camellia, and tobacco. Whoa my goodness is this lovely. It's very rich, like a gathered bouquet of camellias and tobacco leaves dipped in honey. It's pretty dern sexy and I think that it will pair very well with Dolly Kei.

    Ginger Cardamom Hair Gloss

    A sparkle of fiery warmth on a cold winter’s night. This was fresher and brighter than I imagined it would be—like ginger candy with fresh cardamom grated on it, or like an artisanal ginger ale or ginger beer. It’s a nice pick-me-up!

    Lilith's Love Low

    A sharp blast of lavender eventually mellows into a lavender-vanilla cake with banana buttercream! I love this!

    Saturday Morning

    Bright, sunny lemongrass, with some creaminess from the coconut milk. This is happy blend reminiscent of sunshine!

    In Hel, We Feast On Sugar Packets

    This is glorious. It's exactly what it says on the tin--white petals dipped in the sugar. The white petals are of the heady, waxy variety--like magnolia, tuberose, jasmine, maybe a hint of gardenia. With time they become more creamy and less overtly sugary, reminding me a lot of NAVA's Ghost Velvet blend. Gorgeous.

    Lazy Daisy

    This smells like sunshine on clean linens. It’s clean, bright, snuggly, and comforting. I put it on before bed when I was in a foul mood, and it made me feel much better. I do wish I got some of the jasmine, but otherwise it’s a lovely scent.

    Peach Chypre

    Yessss! This is the prettiest peach chypre! I'm so happy. It's got all of the class and elegance of a fine woody chypre with a liberal dousing of fresh, juicy peach. The peach is realistic. Peach Chypre foreverr!! ❤️❤️

    Marshmallow Peaches & Orange Blossom Sugar

    Exactly what it says on the tin! Sweet, sugary marshmallow peaches with a hint of neroli. This is like a peachy, summery version of Stale Sugar-Crusted Marshmallow Chick.

    Impeachment

    Smooth woody frankincense with sweet peachy musk and honeyed rose. This is beautiful on me--a gentle scent that makes me feel happy. ❤️ Edited to add that it dries down into a lovely honeyed peach musk.

    FORMULA FFSZ1: First Mate

    Ooooh I love this. Something (probably the ginger) is reminding me of Tamamo No Mae, which is one of my favorite scents. I get a lot of the white ginger flower and tea, with a good whiff of musk and a hint of fresh coconut. I'm so glad I got this one!

    Mrs. Wilson

    If jasmine were a summer drink, this is what it would smell like. It’s jasmine, but it’s tamed, a little bubbly, and a bit drinkable. ❤️
  14. The piniest pine that ever pined, pining you right in the face. This is indeed a very piney and very cheerful pine. I think it’s the bit of lemon that lifts this one up and lends the cheerful aura. This is a very realistic, bright pine scent.

    Son of biggerCritter

    Key lime pie filling! Refreshing for summer. I love this one. ❤️
  16. Crushed grass, pink clover, white cedar, bamboo, fig leaf, and white moss. To me this smells like the scene in Bambi where Thumper is eating the clover blossoms. It’s happy and green and sunny! Kinda like Lush’s Fox in the Flowers bath bomb in atmo form, or maybe Down the Rabbit Hole’s spring sister: clover blossoms, fresh grass (but not too grassy), and moss. This will be a beautiful linen spray.

    Peep Show Hair Gloss

    Neon strawberry, pink peppercorn, viscous white honey amber, and a smear of Brazilian vetiver. Fresh honeyed strawberries! The pepper keeps it bright and peppy, and the amber note is similar to the one in Pa-Pow HG. Love this!

    Informal Tea Hair Gloss

    Green tea, white sandalwood, and white amber. A refreshing and pretty neutral green scent that will be great in spring and summer. This is close to Shanghai. Green tea and sandalwood. I really can’t imagine anyone not liking this scent, it’s lovely and inoffensive.

    A Chance Meeting in Springtime

    Peach-touched sandalwood, fig meat, and milky white musk. This is a nice white peach musk. Something in it—perhaps the musk—is reminding me of orris. It’s a clean and dry scent that’s fruity but also a little elegant. It’s like a grown up version of a peach perfume—very pretty and classy.

    Honey and White Carnation Bath Oil

    [No additional description provided.] Ahhhh I love this one! It’s the best, most realistic honey scent in the world, with some spicy carnation. I have a hard time finding honey scents that I like, and this one is such a winner!
  21. [No additional description provided.] This one’s beautiful!! It’s honeyed soft leather (light brown in color), with a pinch of dry tobacco. It’s like sniffing the inside of an old, empty wooden tobacco box. Really lovely.

    Gynotize!

    Well, this is lovely! A very pretty rose musk, that I think will work for people who can't typically wear rose. It's hazy and musky (for lack of a better description). The cherry is really prominent at first, but then melds into the musk seamlessly to create a candied rose musk scent. The cherry note is the awesome one that the Lab has been using recently--it's bright red and candied and doesn't go funky or cough drop-y. This one smells more like cotton candy than Gynotize! to me. This is a fun, pretty, and youthful scent.

    Kamau Kogo

    Yessss, this is just the sort of scent I like. It's a touch foodie, a touch tropical, a touch aquatic. Just right. The salt keeps this from being too sweet, the coconut note is dry and sun-baked, and the almond milk is gently creamy. Throw is pretty potent, and longevity is 👍. This one's a winner in my book.

    Penny Rolle

    This is so beautiful. Lovers of sugared patchouli and sticky sweet resin scents are going to love this one. The shea note is so beautiful--creamy, sweet, and a bit reminiscent of Obatala. I don't smell a ton of cardamom or pecan, but this is a nearly-foody resin and patchouli scent. It's like a comforting hug from someone who loves to bake. I would snuggle with Penny Rolle forever. ❤️ Edit: I do smell the pecans in the beginning! Smells like a sweet roll with pecans when wet.

    Spirit Fingers

    This starts out smelling just like Red Hots candies, then dries down into a candied clove scent. More like clove-scented hard candies than clove cotton candy on my skin.
