Dirt, but not the zombi dirt, this is grittier, darker and perhaps... wetter? Strong and sharp white florals and greens, and a patchouli that's more of a lighter yellow one? It's kind of moldy to me. Not for me unfortunately.
-
A beautiful spicy, musky and strong rosewood. Not too complicated, but beautiful - I understand why this gets written off as masculine, it has a slight fougere-y feel to it, but I think this can go both ways.
-
This was surprisingly soft, summery and relaxing. Honestly I don't have much more to add, the notes are all there - 'tis indeed sluggish/slow, and I found it quite nice to dab a little bit before sleeping.
-
super strong metallic note, on top of soft patchouli, amber and very green oakmoss - the cardamom and tonka i can pick out too, they kinda dance around. On drydown the metallic strengthens the oakmoss at some point on me and I have to scrub this off too. Too much for me, but other people would love this!

Clean sheets, not familiar with tolu balsam, but this is a very herby - cotton scent. Weedsmoke is another note that's standing out here, though it's almost more akin to a lemon, not the nasty stuff I smell on the street here. There's slight pink-yellow playfulness in the background, but mostly this is herby clean sheets on me.

Oooh! A smokey apple, with in the background a thick dusty plum casmere and labdanum. It's whiskeyish without the alcohol. Warm, cozy, crisp - almost a skin-scent even.
-
Ooph. A big of thrash of musky animalistic patchouli, balsam, and rootsy greens right in our face! Below that a dusty spicyness, sweet honey and a soft beeswax. Almost a touch chocolaty on drydown. It's giving me a headache, unfortunately.

A beautiful lighter purple version of snake oil. The poppy petals are a big floral swirl of blue, and the plum and laudanum wetish (not aquatic) purple slightly overpowering the snake oil (of which I mostly get the vanilla, a lot of it has dissapeared but that happens on my skin). Another quite fancy, intoxicating version of snake oil!
-
This is overwhelming at the start, but it dries down to a softer, deep red, heavy velvety goodness. A backdrop of soft tobacco, beautiful bed of red musk, labdanum and dirrrrrty patchouli, lightened slightly by the juicy fruits and a veil of heavy vanilla, topped by the clearly smoked rose petals. None of the dark notes are overpowering or too dark, and the 'smoked' note nor tobacco here drag any other notes down with them - they're there, but soft, and almost powdery. Very beautiful palet. Bougie. Don't need more, but very happy to have finally tried this!

This is what I was hoping an other blue scent I've tried so far was like. It's just purely delicious blue candy goodness on my skin, comforting and soft, while it has a pretty decent throw (while the other blue scents tend to dissapear on me or go weird). This stays blue! Need me a fullsize.
-
Cherry that borders sliiightly on almond in the bottle - but on my skin definately goes more into cherry territory (that difference is small, but important to me lol). A strong red rose, and a touch of very light pink pepper; with indeed a vanilla bean wax at the centerpiece. The cherry on me comes in in wafts, not as strong at all on me as for example in stańczyk. The velvet rose and wax are the strongest notes on me.

Not familiar with some of the notes here, so i won't have all the right words, but i'm guessin it's the carmine here that's reall strong, and the blue lotus(?) which reads as a white floral to me - and otherwise it's a lot of dusty, dry spices. As in, sahara sand dry. Well done! Dry, the carmine and floral are still there, but much quieter - and it's MOSTLY spices on me then. Low throw - the one luper i've tried so far that I wish worked better on my skin. :c
-
Starts out super fresh - akin to eucalyptus. with.. something slightly purplishly dark in the background.... Oppoponax? Don't know, been a while since I smelled that. It's not something i would have picked but this is a lovely surprise. Even though these notes to me seem like the shouldn't match, they sure do! BPAL keeps me on m toes, hahah. While it's slightly more hyperactive/scream-y wet/in the bottle, it quickly calms down into a more lavender quality - the same notes but softer, with maybe a mint in the background. Dry it's even more herb-y. Very pretty and calming. ^^

Oh so pretty (I'm yapping today but i have so many pretty new treasures so bear with me) - A delicious soft vanilla (indeed creamy, but not the cream that goes "off" on my skin chemistry), the softest of soft mosses (indeed sitting by a soft babbling stream, but not dipping into aquatic), and the balsamic and tar deepen this while never taking this to a nighttime-type of dark, but indeed the woods, with spots of sun beaming through the thick greens of the trees. I think the balsamic is a bit "tangy" and weirdish on my skin, but not weird enough to make me not like this; this is beautiful and i'm definately keeping this around to see what happens with this beauty!

Dragonfruit AND hibiscus? Count me in!! This is a hyper candied-floral with a sharp white edge and a soft, greenish base. It's super pretty, indeed fresh (stemmy fresh). Vaguely reminds me of the vibe of matcha powder (just the vibe if anyone catches my drift), that with swirls of pink. Dries down about the same. Decent throw, longlasting. Prettyyyy. 💗
