    Dahlia

    I hesitated buying this, but the reviews are generally so positive and notes sound luscious. It is "pretty" as expected from the notes, but it is so weak on me skin, even though I wore it as a morning mediation perfume when the nasal receptors are rested and on full alert. I have stronger cardamom/vanilla scents from other companies which I enjoy more. This definitely needs revisiting, perhaps giving the vanilla and spice some time to come into its own.

    Lavender Kitchen Mouse

    This was a last minute buy, as I was hesitant about the popcorn note. It is the coziest scent! I do like the blast of lavender in the beginning and the way it blends into the overall scent experience. So glad I got a bottle as it is an unexpected standout.

    The Crimson

    This is beautiful- lush and cozy. It's an apple scent without being a more typical fruity concoction. It's apple vibe is reminiscent of the apple vibe in Solstice Lace: sexy and rich, not cutesy. This is a standout perfume for me. Very BPAL. One of those oils that, if you smelled it blindfolded, you would say, "Ah, an Elizabeth creation." Rumor has it this is staying on the website beyond the Lupers. That would be wonderful!

    In the Hallway of a Brothel

    This is lovely. @doomsday_disco was right on the money (which took my money-HA!) with the comparison of the wax/smoke note in (Not So) Penitent (Mini) Magdalene, my all time favorite LE. This is surprisingly long lasting, with beyond scent bubble projection. The lemon behaves on my skin, smelling fresh with that popular lemon/vanilla vibe. Silly me kept sniffing for the sandalwood and couldn't find it! (I wonder why? 😀) And yes, I think I would have liked that in here as well.

    Datura Blossom

    This is a stunner. Yes, a white flower, not at all indolic with a splash of creamy muskiness. I also am picking up something green, like a crushed stem. As a woman with a kazillion floral fragrances, I can say this is unique and one of those nose-to-wrist-go-away-let-me-smell-this-all-day perfumes.

    The Serpent in the Opium Poppies

    Oh, when will I learn to wait for reviews! I thought this was a no-brainer, from the notes. Agree with those above that it is a beautiful scent. I need more Snake Oil and I am not sure aging will bring it out. Time will tell!

    Valencia Orange Hair Gloss

    Valencia Orange is 10/10. If your like a strong, uplifting orange scent, this is for you! It lasts surprisingly long for a citrus scent. I agree there there is some of the blossom in this as well. I am going a little nuts, because I smelled this (note) somewhere before. Hmm. Is this the note from Portrait of a Young Woman with a Unicorn????

    Deer Moon: Summer Fig and Wildflower Honey Hair Gloss

    One of my favorite hair glosses from 2024. It creates a honey-sweet figgy cloud with nuances of light florals. Long lasting.

    Woman Putting on her Stocking

    I love this perfume so much. It really does smell like the old time stockings we wore with garter belts!! (This was before panty hose, which were quite the revolution and no where as sexy!) Anyways this reminds me of the smell of my mother, a coffee drinker, putting on stockings. The skin musk combined with the silk note is so lovely. Low throw, about 2 hour wear.

    To a Wreath of Snow Hair Gloss

    It's pretty, like the oil and agree a shade more lavender. However, it is also very light.

    Midnight Mass Hair Gloss

    Oh I am jealous that the poster above got so many hours from this! (But glad you did, Vaudenilla!?) I absolutely love Midnight Mass Perfume, so it was a no-brainer to snap this up. I was surprised at how light it is. It does smell like Midnight Mass, but very softly. I almost feel like tossing in my backup bottle of Midnight Mass!

    Beaver Moon: Violet and Vanilla Chiffon

    Oh, my! I agree with @VioletChaos that the vanilla in this perfume is reminiscent of Antique Lace. It is not a gourmand vanilla, but has a veil of sweetness to it. The violet is soft, and adds to overall beauty of the scent. This is a lovely perfume- close to skin, long lasting.

    Wolf Moon: Lupine Musk & Ambrette Seed Hair Gloss

    A cozy, cuddly brown musk, on the sweetish side. Very sniffable and easy to wear.

    Wolf Moon: Beeswax & Pine Needle

    This is a heavy beeswax with just a tinge of pine. It is a rich , beautiful beeswax. Folks longing for pine may be disappointed.
