  1. Trying this out for the first time, next to Silky Bat and You May House Their Bodies.

     

    Compared to Silky Bat - Similar on the earthy patch. Warm full-bodied vanilla sweetness in RR vs Silky Bat's sugar.

     

    Compared to You May House - a bit earthier, vanilla is more prominent. You May House has a "cleaner" woodsy patch and less substantial vanilla (makes me think more vanilla extract vs the substantial chewy vanilla in RR).


  2. Apple, orange, cinnamon mulled cider. Sweet and tart, very much fits the name. Wearing Fearful Pleasure on the other arm - whereas this is all cider, Fearful Pleasure is more like drinking that cider in an orchard, with light woodsmoke drifting nearby. 


  3. I just dabbed this on to test, and have discovered the meaning of p'oudh. 

    I really hope everyone above is right about this stage being fleeting, because dear lord, this is rough.

     

    15 min: Something floralish covered in poop, but I'm getting hints of sugar in the throw. 

     

    30 min: Still sharp floralish poo, but a bit less poo-ey

     

    1 hour: The poop is faint, but still present. Sharp, resiny, some floral

     

    2 hours: No more poop, has smoothed out a little, but still reading as mainly sharp resiny floral to me. Wish I was getting the vanilla sweetness.

     

    Need to work up the courage to do a full test and see how it goes. Maybe after a longer rest. This is quite different so far from the other Laces I've tried.

     

    Edit: 2nd test, about a month later - 

     

    In bottle: poop and flowers

     

    On skin: poop and flowers

     

    15 min: Still has a fecal quality, but not full-on poop. Kind of dry, floralish, resiny. I haven't gotten any of the sugar I smelled last time.

     

    45 min: Sharp white floral, sticky resin. Thankfully the poo has not lasted this time. But I want the sugar-spun, tobacco, incense parts of this, darnit.


  4. Comparing 2008 and 2020

     

    Hexennacht ‘08 has always been an odd love affair for me - the scent really is sweat, smoke, and fir. It’s amazing and evocative and I love the heck out of it - but I don’t think I’ve ever worn it outside the house. 
     

    2020 impressions, fresh out of the mail - these are freshly showered witches in a forest :blink: I’m getting a more soapy scent along with the fir. I don’t love this like I do ‘08, and it certainly doesn’t conjure up the same image, but I could wear it out of the house without a second thought.


  5. Fresh out of the mail. I wasn’t completely convinced this would work for me with the coffee, but I am so surprised at the scent I am getting. At first it was all dry coffee, but a minute later and I’m wondering where that sweet honey scent is coming from? I had to come back and look at the notes since honey often turns sharp and powdery on me, but what I’m smelling here is realistic and beautiful. Overall I’m getting sweet honey/tobacco and earthy coffee. I need a backup of this!


  6. 2013 version


    This was instant love. Deep, lush, sweet, velvety, beautiful red rose. No morphing/powder, lasted several hours. There is something incredibly soothing about this scent to me, to the point that I’m happy wearing it as a sleep scent as well. Need more bottles!

    dreamy, caramelized, vanilla-soaked wood


    I don’t think I can describe it any better than this! Cozy, low throw, but lasts several hours. One of my favorites, up there with L’Estate and Amaterasu v3.


  8. I love this. On my skin I get a soft, musky, cozy scent sweetened by the red currant. I can smell the autumn leaves note in the bottle, but not on my skin. Decent throw and wear time, I kept catching whiffs throughout the day, and it was faded, but still present ~8 hours later. Doesn't morph on me at all.
