  1. On me, this is Snake Oil with extra powder and an acrid note. I suspect the teakwood.

    I gave the decant to my ex and he texted me "*This is just an imp of Black Silk that someone spilled Ovaltine on.*"

    (Black Silk is his HG so...I guess that's positive :D .)


  2. Snake Oil with acai berry, amber, cardamom, white sandalwood, neroli, and smoked vanilla.

    The açai berry is dark, deep, and bittersweet. It's the strongest note. Neroli is a lovely floral touch on a background of Snake Oil and smoked vanilla.
    Snake Oil never smelled snakey to me, but this manages to be both gorgeous and reptilian.

  3. The Cat is dark musk, honey, cedar, and benzoin.

    Goblin has already been mentioned.

    This World, Where Death Reigns is black roses and myrrh (LE).

    Lights of Men's Lives lists the wax and smoke of candles...lol...more helpfully, it definitely has the beeswax note, amber, and probably some vanilla.

    Rogue is black leather, hemp, and rosin.

    Neutral lists "flawless skin musk."

    Hunger has black narcissus, orange blossom, and vanilla.

    Kabuki has cherry, red musk, and star anise.

    (At this point I'm just going down the GC descriptions on the Lab's site)


  4. Contrary to other reviews, I find this much stronger than most hair glosses - my bottle is as strong as Snake Oil HG and its throw is just as impressive. I shall use it sparingly.

    This scent knocked me over - not just with its strength and beauty, but its *reality.* I knew it smelled like a rose, thorns and dew and all, and I thought I understood that, but I really didn't get it until I smelled it.

    In addition to all the rose scents, I think this would go well with resin scents and possibly even berry scents.


  5. Goblin has a reputation of being a bit rough, but when I found out I don't dislike patchouli I got an imp from the Lab with the intention of aging it.

    That was two weeks ago. My imp is half gone. I'm gonna need lots.

    I can tell I will like it better aged, but even after two weeks the patchouli has smoothed out a lot. It's also starting to last longer - it was disappearing after about an hour and leaving me with only coconut and benzoin. Now I get lovely smoky patchouli for hours. It's a smooth, sweet,velvety smell that two different people have insisted to me must be amber. Far from being too much patchouli, I want more of it. It's my new favorite cuddly scent.


  6. On me, the strongest note here is lilac, then white tea, then beeswax. It has moments of greatness and moments of "What was I doing again?" which probably means it will be better in a couple months. No bottle, but I will enjoy my decant.


  7. This is a nice amber that reminds me of the amber in Hesiod's Phoenix. The cedar keeps it from being as floaty as that one. The other notes are hiding in the background but I bet they will come out with age.

    This is really lovely and complex, but again like Hesiod's Phoenix, this is more of an elegant, dressed-up scent than the scents I usually wear.


  8. I didn't think I'd like this - I rarely like patchouli on me and I got a decant of this for my partner. But this is *beautiful.* It's warm dark amber with a bit of patchouli grounding it.

    It goes perfectly with Lights of Men's Lives, A Bright Flame Between Two Jacinths, and The Phoenix, Having Burst Her Shell. I think it would go well with most darker amber blends.

    This is strangely addictive for something that I thought was not my thing at all. I will be getting a bottle.
