I think I was hoping for more of a blueberry scent on this one - but it's still very evocative of something otherworldly. It's pretty heavy on the eucalyptus at first, then musk dominates for a little bit, then I get the blueberries It reminds me of one of the Blue Moon blends - it must be the blue musk. This hair gloss is lovely, and quite different from the other glosses I have.

Sweet, sugary lavender & just a touch of pumpkin. It's a very straightforward scent for me, and I really like this one! It's kind of like the Beaver Moon that was a lavender cheesecake, but without the cheesecake, and pumpkin instead.
-
I love this one! It's a maple-laden autumn/winter scent. I can detect the leaves, but this leaf note seems fresh, not dried. It was so soothing that it put me right at ease to fall sound asleep after a thin application to my dry forearms. This one is back-up bottle worthy!

Dead Leaves and Lavender Buds is somehow a bit musky, but you can easily detect the dead leaves note, and the lavender is soft & sweet. I get equal whiffs of the dead leaves and the lavender buds - I do like the musk quality of this one, even though that doesn't seem to be a component. It's a romantic fall scent - and quite feminine.

This one is gorgeous! I didn't know what to expect, but it's a sweet gentle apple scent, with breaths of the violet and iris. To my nose, it's like a pale juicy apple covered in a lilac, floral morning dew. Very lovely! I am enamored with this one!

Patchouli, aquilaria aguillocha, and Manuka honey. Oh my, being first is gonna be tough >_< I have the original release of the Tricky bath oil, and love it! The bath oil is quite strong to me so it's used sparingly, though. HAIR GLOSS REVIEW I detect more honey than patchouli in this hair gloss, and the throw is more subtle and lingering. The aquilaria aguillocha apparently is some kind of Agarwood or Oud (according to my limited Google-fu). Normally I find Oud overpowering and avoid it, but not here! The gloss itself still does wonderous things for my mane - and I am BEYOND THRILLED that the throw is more subtle than the Bath Oil, because it means that I can wear it at my conservative workplace without worry! Great job Puddin' and the Labby Goblins!

This one is a soft, velvety vanilla resin with touches of warm coffee notes
-
This IS really similar to the SMUT BPAL oil! I'm not the biggest fan of the smut perfume oil, but this hair gloss seems softer and a little less intense to me, and gorgeous! I love how this one just lingers in soft wafts of scent - I wore a little overnight and could still smell it in the morning. I re-applied a spritz to my ends, and it's still quite a gentle scent.

Labial pink with fine iridescent glitter. What a beautiful shade of pink! it's a nearly perfect bubblegum pink, and the teeny tiny holographic glitter is just right! The glitter is prevalent throughout but not overpowering, easily wearable anywhere!
-
This is strong! But it's so gorgeous, cold and fresh! It reminds me of frozen, tart lemonade with sweet honey stirrers. It will be delightful to wear is the middle of summer!

My favorite of the Yule offerings this year! Absolutely gorgeous soft amber with wafts of cool, barely minty-vanilla snow, and touches of warm & delicate true fresh rose petals
-
This is an unusual Yule, but very lovely and delicate. It smells like candies and sweets nestled among softly scented floral arrangements
-
This one is a cold, misty and very beautiful snow scent. It has touches of florals every once in a while. Just lovely!
-
My bottle of Apple Pie HG, to me, smelled VERY strongly of cinnamon....I got very little apple and even less 'pie crust' I was really hoping that this one would be heavy on the apple, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with warm cinnamon.
-
Holy Cr@p! This is a gorgeous foody scent! It's eerily similar to the very first 13, just minus the citrus and gentle florals. Glorious! Love love love!
-
Just beautiful and very atmospheric. I get the leaves and amber, and its soft and very autumnal. ETA - 10/23/2024: Aging this has really deepened the fruity aspect, and I get LOADS of juicy pomegranate & currant! The resins have also become much more glorious!
-
This is my favorite of the Post's Halloweenies 2015 HG! I get the dead leaves and musk immediately, then the musk fades and I am left with soft, autumnal vanilla auras. Just lovely! ☺
-

My bottle of Gourmand (ETA #82) smells like sugar, vanilla with perhaps just the teeniest bit of white chocolate. It's feminine and lovely - so happy with it!
-
Black amber and jasmine tea with 7-year aged vanilla bourbon absolute. This one turned out pretty flat for me. All I smell is a very dark booze - nothing romantic about it. I was hoping to get a floral tea with resiny vanilla undertones. Sadly this did not happen. It also has almost no staying power for me, after 20 minutes I can not detect it anymore.

Hmmm.... This is the Hair Gloss version of Peach Moon on me. Not much in common with Peach Moon as far as listed notes go, but really, that's the only thing that comes to mind when I smell this gloss. So Cubeb is some kind of pepper, but this gloss has zero peppery traces for me. It was the only note that worried me. Clearly unfounded fears. Since I love Peach Moon so much, and this gloss might as well be made of Peach Moon, its a definite WIN. Probably going to get a backup of this one before Lupers disappear in April. love love love!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING ROSE RED A HAIR GLOSS!! ahem... Rose Red gloss is like walking into a gloriously healthy rose garden after a rainshower. The rose is true and elegant. The greenery is fresh and vibrant. The 'dew' is soft and refreshing. This is a fabulous accomplishment by the Lab & Post! If you can release this every Yule, that would be phenomenal!
-
This is lovely! To me its a cool spring scent. The honey is the warmth of spring but there is definitely a coolness to it, and to me it smells like icy/iced vanilla sugar with a teeny, tiny drop of something minty. I'll be using this one a bunch, I'm sure of it!
-
Winter Lily & Sugar Cane This is a surprise winner for me! The lily is subtle, the snow - just the right amount of 'coolness', and the sugar cane just makes this scent glow. It's a perfectly sophisticated scent, and very subdued. Perfect for a 'stuffy' office setting or if you just want a soft, delicate scent. absolutely lovely!
-
Frosty Silkybat I did not try the original Silkybat HG, so there is no point of comparison. This is a gorgeous wintery scent! It's soft and mellow but noticeable. If patchouli isn't your thing (it's certainly not mine *) you can still try this and love it. I think the snowy notes and vanilla give a perfect balance to the patchouli, and it probably helps significantly that the patchouli is 'sugared' Excellent work BPTP & BPAL!!!
