Cracked, peeling leather, creeping sheets of corrosion, exposed wires, and congealed pools of motor oil.
There is something completely creepy and off about this scent. A scent of metal, old oil, and wiring runs throughout with a hint of old car grease streaked through old leather. Definitely glad to try it...but since my decant exploded everywhere in my package, I now know it's definitely not for ,me. -
This is absolutely fabulous! Clean water, with hints of coolness with a bit of green. I used my little 4ml spritzer up today. I need to upgrade to a full bottle.

Wet: This smells like I have bitten into a juicy, sweet pomegranate. Dark, seductive, sweet. Dry, candy sweet sticky pomegranate. I don't know how I feel about this yet as my skin eats it up so fast!

A gleaming glassy ocean
Under a sky of grey;
A tide that dreams of motion,
Or moves, as the dead may;
A bird that dips and wavers
Over lone waters round,
Then with a cry that quavers
Is gone—a spectral sound.
The brown sad sea-weed drifting
Far from the land, and lost;
The faint warm fog unlifting,
The derelict long tossed,
But now at rest—though haunted
By the death-scenting shark,
Whose prey no more undaunted
Slips from it, spent and stark.-Cale Young Rice
Seaspray and flecks of foam welling with opoponax and labdanum's sepulchral moans.
This smells like grey days on a ship. No wooden floors or tar or pitch. Just the scent of warm grey sea spray and the wind in your face. It's. amazing. This will find a new home in winter and possibly summer rotation this year.

Source: Tester from NYCC. This was apple spice cardamom coffee cake from one of my favorite local bakeries..Sugar Bakers. I wanted to eat it and my arm. I am glad I passed on this one as it was too foodie and made me want to eat coffee cake.

Faint red musk, patchouli and caramel. I amp caramel to the nth power and this does not disappoint. The vanilla oddly softens the sweetness of the caramel making this bareable until the Damn LILAC comes stomping on my skin. *sigh* This had such promise until the stinky lilac took over.
-
I tried to put it on...but cherry blossoms took over. The apple does smell like it is mixed with a bit of pear. ..still overall too sweet and floral. Glad I got to try it!

High end men's cologne from wet to dry. Honestly, it was the amber that attracted me but it gets eaten up by the fouregere zankou describes above. Not for me.
-
GInger apple champagne from wet to dry. I WANT TO DRINK THIS. Just not wear it. It was nice to try though!
-
This was dragon's blood and cotton on me. It was so faint though! Lovely to try, but I am glad I was able to eliminate this from my potential buy list.

Presently I heard a slight groan, and I knew it was the groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of pain or of grief oh, no! it was the low stifled sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe. I knew the sound well. Many a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept, it has welled up from my own bosom, deepening, with its dreadful echo, the terrors that distracted me. I say I knew it well.
Opaque grey amber and opoponax swelling up like thick smoke, pressed under the weight of baleful tobacco.
The grey amber, opoponax and smoke blend really well. The tobacco gets strong for a minute and then it backs off and you are left with this mildly sweet tobacco and grey amber scent. This will age well and is extremely well blended. I love it! -
Polished mahogany blanketed by myrrh.
This is smooth mahogany with silky myrrh. So good. So glad I bought this from the lab. It's just lovely. This will age well. -
Pumpkin spice them carnies!
This is warm, pumpkin spice, with a hint of cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon with SNAKE OIL!!!
This is a double bottle for sure and I believe it will age beautifully!
-
This is what Poison Ivy smells like. A supervillain in her own right, champion of flora and hate of man kind, she smells seductively of green things, lily, roses, carnations and other flowers. At first this scent is wet and heavy. Like walking into a flower shop. Dry: It becomes very light, and inoffensive. This is something I see wearing in the cooler months as well as the spring!
-
Low throw sexy coffee, with sexy sugar, and a hint of black musk. I love it. NO CREAM! Heavens Rejoice!
-
This is very subtle. So far, it amber, with bare hints of clove (white clove is cleaner than black on my skin apparently) and the patch is non-existent. The saffron..yeah..she is still here mucking up the place and taking over the other notes. I think with some age and time, it will be beautiful.
-
Dry: It is beautiful. It sings on my skin.
Wet: It makes me want vomit. There is something with the oude and mate that don't mix well with the currant. These are all notes of win for me so I am going to let this settle and retry it in a couple of weeks.
-
This smells like apple wine sipped on a cool fall night (my brain smells fall air!!)
It is amazing!!! Looking forward to using this in October and November! -
This is freshly peeled orange. There is nothing sweet about it. Just orange...like fresh orange juice.
-
The rosemary doesn't go funky on me! The peppermint and clove are subtle with a nice blast of orange that my skin eats up. Mainly rosemary, mint, and clove. It's simply lovely.
-
This amber, the stripped down black musk from Streets of Detroit, with a nice clean white musk. Not headache inducing. It's light and dark. Warmth and cold. And beautiful.
-
I love this. Strawberry daquiri, with hints of violent and dirt. It's pretty and disturbing all at the same time. I will wear this more in the fall due to the bug attraction factor with the strawberry note, but it is quite lovely.
-
This scent is perfect. Dark, sexy and soft as a raven's wing. The violet and myrrh just purr in this and the patchouli is smooth. This is definitely a court scent. I am so glad that I have it!
-
This is super nauseating. I am officially resigning myself to no more strawberry stand alone scents from the lab. It smells like fake strawberry syrup with a touch and I mean a barest touch of real berry. *sigh*
