    In the imp I initially get soft aquatic notes, but they are quickly followed by the warmer, more rugged ones. On my skin it is a balance, a rugged beachy scent. Clean, fresh air and slightly salty water with leather and patchouli to roughen things up. I have to search for the rum but it lends a bit of sweetness, and I think I get just a hint of sarsaparilla melding in with it.

    La Roue de Malheur Hair Gloss

    I get mostly patchouli, oudh, and opium. This is dark, swirling and sort of incense-y. It smells thick and sort of syrupy but not sweet. I get just hints of red musk and pomegranate, which initially gave me the impression of opponax with the other notes.

    Red Incense Hair Gloss

    I get mostly red sandalwood and bit of red wine from this. Soft and slightly fruity. I think the currants and red wine give it a soft red musk vibe as well. Very well blended and softly sweet.

    Oh this is lovely! Musky and very lightly leafy, with a soft beautiful leather underneath.

    get a gorgeous amber in the imp but it's overwhelmingly clove on my skin. It eventually fades back but so does the amber unfortunately.

    Soft and sweet rosy-vanilla incense. Really feminine feeling, makes me think of a vintage powder room without smelling powdery.

    This is incredibly well blended on me. Dark slinky musk and resins, almost chewy. Just a touch of orange over the top.

    Very bright almond, the kind that pushes cherry makes this more fruity than nutty on me. Figgy-cherry with just a hint of rich amber underneath.

    Witch Birds

    Sweet marshmallowy plum in the imp, and wet the opium and oppononax darken and ground the scent a bit. It's dark and swirling with a hint of sweetness. The marshmallow makes this stand out from other opium and plum scents I have. Luckily for me the violet does not make an appearance, was thinking this was not going to work on me!

    Handknitted Witch Gloves

    All I get in the imp is wool and oakmoss. It makes me think of walking through a rain-soaked forest. Green and damp and a bit clean the way oakmoss sometimes comes across. Not soapy, but just that freshness after a rain. On my skin the wool comes out more, the scent becomes less outdoorsy and more cozy. The brandy is subtle but gives a grounding sweetness.

    The Corn Spirit

    I get spicy rye and lots of dry golden hay. A bit of sweetness (but a sort of earthy sweetness, like barley syrup. Perhaps the corn?) I get zero soil on my skin, and just a breath of herbal chamomile as it dries down. Beautifully atmospheric and very autumnal.

    Almond scent recs (inc. cherry almond; marzipan)

    Eclipse is my fave almond scent!

    Batty Lace

    Floofy vanilla 2017 Antique Lace with a halo of caramel. I get a teeny bit of soft leather as it wears. Lovely!

    Cocoa-dusted wood in the bottle but gets richer and more chocolate-y on the skin. Spice, wood, and tobacco back up the cacao. The pine peeks through as it wears. It is a bit rugged and a bit foody at the same time.

    I agree with Grim there's sort of a humid element to the blend, but also I get a coldness at the same time? Light ethereal florals and vanilla, and sheer amber. The rose is soft and and I can pick out the almond blossom. It's sweet and almost candy-like (candy floss is a great description), it is very airy.
