Unf golden sweet patchouli, the smooth sweet patch I love. No stale cardboard in sight. This smells like the dusky golden light of a satisfying sunset.
-
This smells like a soft creamy rootbeer on me. For some reason the spices are going sarsaparilla on me, but I take no issue. Absolutely lovely!
-
I get syrupy rum in the initial application with some spices making me momentarily think of Spiced Rum Buttercream Coffee scent. Then it is sweet caramel and spices and vetiver? Smoky vetiver and I get a bit of the gnarly patchouli that has been leaning stale cardboard on me. This isn't looking good folks. Eventually the smokiness and patch back and the spiced toffee coffee becomes more apparent. This is an edgy spiced coffee on me. I will see how it works on my guy.

This reminds me a great deal of Obatala, the coconut meat seems to be similar smooth and natural, it is other notes that make it a great deal sweeter. The honey is most distinct to me, and the blend pushes more gourmand as it dries.
-
Initially the lily and cedarwood combine rather sharply, but luckily they are quickly smoothed out by the other notes. Fresh yet powdery, and grounded by the woods this makes me think of a Georgian parlor.
-
Mmm the blueberry is just beautiful in this, I would describe it as dried as it isn't in your face juicy or jammy. I think its sweetness is balanced by the tartness of the blackcurrant, and the flowers and musk round out the scent beautifully. Very fresh and happy.

Gorgeous sugary floral blend. While I get distinct lily and rose here and there the sweet pea, carnation, and peony are strongest on me. It ends up like High Strung Daisies with sweet pea and peony on me.
-
This is really beautifully. Softly smoky carnation over soft hay. Unfortunately it fades within minutes on me.
-
Wow the honeycrisp apple is so accurate and specific. Crisp and a smidge tart, almost floral fruitiness. Beautifully sugared with some creaminess from the milk.

Suggestions for layering with Vanilla Orchid?
roseus replied to semuelle77's topic in Recommendations
I like layering it with ethereal vanillas like Zorya P. and Ava. Also delicate florals like Aeval (Ressurected). I haven't tried but I could also see pairing it with ambergris forward scents like Diamond Star -
For me this is a rose and wine incense, I don't get any pear or much clove after it dries. In the family of Obsidian Widow but more incensy and without the patch.
-
In the imp this reminded me a great deal of Kumiho. On the skin is becomes bit less zingy, the green tea a bit warmer and the ginger a bit lighter. The bourbon and incense are hard to pick out specifically but make a very sleek and polished base. This makes me think of a Jo Malone fragrance
-
This is very patch forward for me, a very rough one. Right after that is the smoked pumpkin and amber. Overall very earthy. A great non foodie pumpkin.
-
Oh man this made my eyes roll back into my head. Beautiful sugary guava really rich in the sweetness with the nectar with a beautiful floral element. Smells like vacation. Will pair beautifully with Drag on a Slime!
-
At first this is all caramel and clove on me, making me think of my mother's molasses cookies (which have a good dose of clove). As it wears I get a bit of saffron and smoke and the blend lightens up on it's heavy sweetness but I can't pick out the peppers specifically.
-
This is stunning. Started off more atmospheric, dry grasses and hay with what smelled to me like chamomile and a touch of honey. I think that warm sweet honey scent was the amber which got stronger as it dried. It goes more floral as well and the grasses become a soft rustling. Very evocative of early autumn.
-
Starts of inky and syrupy on me, then goes quite sour and musky. A miss for my chemistry.
-
This smells just like pumpkin pie filling to me. Buttery, creamy, and softly spicy pumpkin with a hint of caramel.
-
For me the apple disappears quickly after application. On me this is about the woods and grapevine. The beeswax and benzoin smooth the woods and launch it into very perfumey territory. It's a very green and woody sophisticated scent, a soft cologne.
-
Golden warmth. The olive oil is soft and buttery as opposed to sharp and green and blends with the soft honey sweetness of the creamy beeswax. Has just a touch of that delicate candle smoke.
-
Gingerbread, soft and warm and cookie-like but not overly gourmand. Like dried ginger vs more juicy fresh ginger. The coffee bean seems to be just adding warmth and depth and blends very well with the smoky vanilla. A cozy fireside scent.
-
Was worried about the vetiver but I don't really detect it. This is all about the dark velvet rose on my skin. There is a dark smoky incense underneath bit of spice but it is all very subdued.
-
This is a very relaxing scent. Smells a bit like a natural spa or a bit like a Lush product initially. I have a hard time pulling the notes out, at first I got a distinctly bright and gritty frankincense and thin wax but that soon melds with the rest. Its bright and floral and creamy and waxy and herbal and salty all at once. But it doesn't feel jumbled, it feels as a unison.
-
The front of the scent is a deep, rich very true plum with floral element. It's hard to pick out notes besides the plum. I don't get an intense indolic oudh or identifiable patch, just a dark rich depth beneath the plum. When first applied I get something vaguely gourmand, like warm pastry, underneath everything which threw me off. But that seems to fade very quickly. Reminds me of a moodier Mme. Moriarty
-
Oh my this is just gorgeous. When first applied I can't help to imagine bubbles, not in a fizzy champagne note way, but something about the breezy buoyancy of the scent. I don't have much experience with dandelion sap but it must be with sweet, milky, vegetal scent that is the heart of this blend on me. The white musk is light, clean and breezy and melds with the sap really well. It smells like fresh spring air. The blackcurrant bud is just as gorgeous as soft white flower with just a touch of the scent of the fruit.
