The first note that hits me is the lavender, it is dry, airy and herbal like the one in Waiting. The blue musk is fresh, clean like just after rainfall.I think the juniper is contributing to the fresh herbal scent but I can't pin it. The hops creeps in more, green and herbal and just a touch bitter. The spicy carnation and sweet benzoin become more prominent as it dries. Dry everything is really well blended. A soothing, airy herbal scent.

This is the grassy springtime atmo I've always wanted! This smells like a sunlight meadow, the grass and clover being the primary scents, with the bamboo being a really fresh, sort juicy green. Spraying this around my home is instant springtime cheer.

Oooh sharp and bright citrus (grapefruit most apparent to me) but not too sour, with the rosy kick of pepper. The salty seafoam and ambergris is a really interesting counterpart. It's like smelling the sea air while cutting up a grapefruit.

In the bottle I get the ink very distinctly, dark and smooth and a bit peppery. Like a deep dark resin and the smoothest perfumiest oudh. On my skin the rose comes out, to me it smells like a dried pink rose. The moss is light, fresh. The whole effect is almost papery, but maybe my mind is thinking of the ink and is going to books. Very soft and romantic. -
Something about this wet reminded me a lot of 51, and airy juicy green floral vaguely melony. Perhaps the melon blossom note is related to the honeydew note? As it dries it becomes very much about the lily and tea, very fresh. There is some brightness from the bergamot and the green fruity-floral that I think is the melon blossom wafts about.

Ambergris accord and bleached woods with white tobacco. The ambergris is definitely front and center in this one. So if that is a love note for you, grab this.Now. This is beautifully sweet, musky, and warm. It's that nice almost salty skin scent. I do not get much of the bleached woods, and just a hint of warm tobacco. It's a dry scent, but not dusty. It is absolutely gorgeous and it has some nice throw and wear length. This is the most beautiful smelling hag imaginable.

Deep warm gingerbread, brown sugary and softly spicy like the cookie rather than juicy fresh ginger. Beautiful caramelized chewy tobacco. A winning combo.

When I layer with single notes Generally I am trying to enhance something already in the blend (not necessarily a specific note, could just be its fruitiness or something). For example I will use Black Pomegranate SN to Mme Moriarty to enhance the deep red fruitiness or Vanilla Orchid SN to Zorya Polunochnaya to add another layer of ethereal white floral. Another one I like is Snake Oil and Bulgarian Tobacco SN, even though I don't think there is tobacco in SO, it adds to that deep syrupy warm vibe it has. Though sometimes I layer to add a whole new element to a scent like Black Pomegranate with Haunted

Normally I'm not drawn to dirt/earthy scents but the clay in here is very gentle and pretty. The rose tobacco smells like a strong dried rose with just a bit of cologne-y tobacco underneath.

I got some delicious honeyed, buttery goat milk and then plastic-y bubblegum? Chemistry fail!

Mmm definitely sweeter than the atmosphere spray, and with no spice. Just buttery pumpkin and chewy tobacco.

When I first applied I got a blast of fresh floral that I thought was hyacinth but looking at the notes must have been the citrus combining with the jasmine and lily. As it settles the headiness of the jasmine becomes more apparent, and the spiciness of the carnation and green and pollen of the lily come out. The only floral I can't find is the rose. I'm having a hard time picking out the amber and musk, but it must just be part of the perfuminess. The bergamot and tangerine are beautiful bright elements, smells like a sunny spring garden walk.

Really rich, syrupy vanilla tobacco. I think all the resins contribute to this thick dark feeling. Cozy.
-
Really gorgeous softly fruity blend. The sandalwood-vanilla combo dominates and the fig just floats around it.
-
My nose hated this on the wand, it was really sharp and musty at the same time. On the skin it gets better, and I start to recognize some notes. Patch and tobacco give an earthy base and the red musk and plum are sultry and fruity, but time has really smoothed them over. Not very sweet, surprising given the tonka and benzoin. Something about this is still not agreeing with my skin, staying quite sharp.

Starts off with citrus and tea primarily, zesty and fresh. Deepens as it dries, definitely get amber and the sleek teakwood, adding warmth and depth and if I sniff deeply I get some humid orchid and light mint, which is coming off more crisp and green than menthol. This is really pretty and reminds me of really good commercial perfume, would be a good gateway scent for people new to indie perfume.

Sweet pink rose, and I want to say lotus as well. There is a very sweet, waxy floral note next to the rose. Underneath I get warm amber and soft sweet patchouli, but these just pass a gentle glow onto the sweet pink rose. Like @LiberAmoris said, sun-sweetened.
-
Really delicious buttery toffee. The caramel has a lot of depth, not too sweet at all. I get just a touch of spice.

Such a smooth beautiful blend. Softly sweet, smooth, decadent woods and a bit of musk. Everything is very well blended, I can barely pull out the rosewood and lavender.
-
Pine and eucalyptus, dark green and icy. Sweet in an herbal way.
-
This is one of the most unique scents I have ever tried. The most true to life non-foresty outdoorsy scent I've encountered. Dry desert brush, a touch sweet, a touch green, a touch smoky. Sort of herbal.

Fresh zingy green dominates this scent, I just get the tiniest bit of warm myrrh and amber underneath.
-
Very dry, and salty. But also smells like fog. A very grey, vague scent. Smells like rain hitting hot pavement.
-
The super sweet super buttery butterscotch seemed like it would be a little too intense on my skin at first, but then it gave way to a a beautiful caramelized tobacco with just a hint of butteriness.

I wasn't expecting to get any of the vanilla buttercream with how rich and fudgey this is in the bottle! But they balance quite well on my skin, I get the vanilla quite strongly under the chocolate which lightens up from fudge to more a chocolate buttercream. Delicious.
