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!

A shimmering icicle, the exhalation of winter’s crystalline breath.This hair gloss takes the prize for BPTP Yule 2018, in my humble opinion. It’s a beautiful sweet, pillowy-soft snow, with a hint of ozone. It smells like gentle vanilla with a hint of fresh laundry, like a sweeter and fluffier Boober. My review notes are sprinkled with hearts. 💕

I love this. It's super cozy and comforting. To me it smells like gentle milky chai, soft worn leather, and old books. It's very wearable and makes me want to curl up in an arm chair and read with a warm drink, a puppy, and a fire.

has a parlor house at No. 16 East Thirteenth street. There are six lady boarders; but no interest whatever attaches to this house. Some of its visitors have asserted that its inmates are of a snobbish disposition.
A superior tea rose chypre.
This is gorgeous. It is something between OLLA Eve and Chanel No. 5--classic, classy, elegant, and sexy. It's a beautiful woody, spicy tea rose. The tea rose is lush and velvety--not sharp or lemony. The effect is of a very smooth blend. It is superior, but in the way that Charlotte Wells in Harlots is superior--not overly snobby, but playful and spirited. I'm so happy that I took a chance on this. -
This smells exactly as described: mostly sugared mint with a touch of bourbon and a suggestion of citrus. I normally do not love mint, but the mint note here is super nice. It's tame and natural. Overall, this is cool, sweet, and refreshing. Spray this on Derby day!

This scent is beautiful--I'm surprised it's not getting more love. To me it smells like sweet, warm rain with a hint of sea breeze. It's not sharp, ozoney, or cologney. It's gentle, soft, clean, sweet, natural, and beautiful. This is basically the aquatic scent of my dreams.

Himalayan cedarwood, tonka bean, cherry blossom, white tea, and clove husk.
This does smell like a breeze! The cedar and white tea play together to create the illusion of a breeze. The clove husk adds a bit of a lemony flair? This is a nice outdoorsy scent.
-
A pretty fruity floral! I smell a lot of orris which lends a breezy, ethereal quality, and plum blossom, which is pretty plummy (as in the fruit). This is a very fun and youthful blend. I have no idea what Malibu Musk smells like, as TTP mentions above, but this smells exactly like something that would be called Malibu Musk.

Basically fruit roll-ups for your naughty bits: wild cherry and sugared up strawberry with hot pink peppercorn.
DO NOT ACTUALLY PUT THIS ON YOUR NAUGHTY BITS.Fruity candy! Specifically, fruity gummy candy with maybe a hint of marshmallow? It’s reminding me heavily of a Lilith scent—maybe The Devil Will Work for Idle Hands or Battle Fairy in Training? The fruit note is also similar to what I get in Rajnbow Swirk. This is a fun and lighthearted fruity scent!

Argh this is gorgeous! It’s like a refreshing summer time cocktail—sweet blueberry tempered with chilly lavender. I agree with sprout that it’s a scent for both day and night. It’s happy and pretty—sweet and refreshing!
-
Cool, herbal lavender and dusty orris sweetened a touch by the honey and peony. This is a beautiful bath oil that would make a relaxing night time bath. I shall absolutely be getting a bottle!
-
I love this one! It smells fresh and beachy—like a sea beeeze and sun warmed driftwood. The cucumber isn’t super cucumber-y, but blends very nicely to create the fresh breeze vibe. I will definitely be getting a bottle of this one—it will be great scent for summer!
-
This is a super pretty, fresh, and clean floral blend. I’m getting lots and lots of lilac with a touch of clean rose. I’m having trouble picking out the peach blossom and ylang ylang. It’s a very happy and sunny spring blend.

What we need, said Wednesday, suddenly, is snow. A good, driving, irritating snow. Think snow for me, will you?
Huh?
Concentrate on making those cloudsthe ones over there, in the westmaking them bigger and darker. Think gray skies and driving winds coming down from the arctic. Think snow.
I dont think it will do any good.
Nonsense. If nothing else, it will keep your mind occupied, said Wednesday, unlocking the car. Kinkos next. Hurry up.
Snow, thought Shadow, in the passenger seat, sipping his hot chocolate. Huge, dizzying clumps and clusters of snow falling through the air, patches of white against an iron-gray sky, snow that touches your tongue with cold and winter, that kisses your face with its hesitant touch before freezing you to death. Twelve cotton-candy inches of snow, creating a fairy-tale world, making everything unrecognizably beautiful . . .
Snow, thought Shadow. High in the atmosphere, perfect, tiny crystals that form about a minute piece of dust, each a lacelike work of fractal art. And the snow crystals clump together into flakes as they fall, covering Chicago in their white plenty, inch upon inch . . .
Snow upon snow upon snow.
I'm very happy to have this bottle in the middle of summer! My favorite thing to do in the heat is to spray down my bed linens with cool-scented atmos (The Cemetery, Many Years Ago is probably my favorite to use for this purpose), and Think Snow For Me is going to be excellent. Most of what I get is the cold minty kind of snow note. This snow note usually doesn't play nicely on my skin, but it's a wonderful scent that makes for an excellent room/linen spray. Backing up the cold minty snow is that lovely soft sweet snow note. It's reminding me of Go to Sleep Darlings (from several Yules ago). Overall, this spray is lovely, and I'd say it's a must have if you love snow scents. -
Goth Queen smells like a Christmas party at The Whirling Dervish (RIP) in New Orleans. It's cinnamon and clove cigarettes and BO and it's beautiful.

This smells like eating chocolate in a snowy evergreen forest! To me this smells like the snow note in Snow Bunny and The Cemetery, Many Years Ago Atmo. It's beautiful--a little fresh, forestry, minty, slushy, and happy.
-
This smelled like fruitcake in the bottle! Dry on skin it reminds me of a cherry version of Blackberry Jam & Scones. There is a hint of spice and the cherry note is jammy and beautiful. It's hard for me to find cherry that works for me, and this is gorgeous!
-
Warm rain, lily, and dust. This is one of the rare aquatic scents that doesn't smell too breezy on me. It's perfect for Denna!
-
These are all great recommendations. I'd also like to add Tissue and Sweet Life to the list.
-
Call me crazy, but the new Easter Lily SN has a super beachy feel on me! I love it!
Edit due to autocorrect fail.

This is like Stekkjarstaur's little sister! It's a more sweet, youthful, cheerful, less "clean" marshmallow. Super fun, sugary marshmallow goodness!!
-
Ugh, this is gorgeous. It's clean and elegant. It truly is like sticking your nose in a lily--just beautiful.
-
This smells jussst like Arise, Lift Up Thine Eyes and See! It's definitely golden and a little breezy. Alas, some incense notes give me a headache, and this is one of them.

Peacock Queen Hair Gloss

Posted · Report reply
This is the Peacock Queen we all know and love, in hair gloss form! It’s a dark, lush, and velvety red rose. Simple, classy, and elegant. I was in need of a rose-y gloss, and this fits the bill perfectly.
