    Spicebush Swallowtail

    In the bottle this is straight up sharp clove, gets more depth on the skin. The sugar, although not in the foreground, grounds this. And the plum/sassafras give this a wild, feral edge.

    Mare Vaporum

    I'm not sure why my skin is doing this to me, but i'm getting laundry detergent. Gotta wash this off!! 😭

    Unicorn Hunt

    Ugh I HATE this in the bottle, it's a horribly strong sticky note of wine and amber, yuck! Thank goodness it morphs on my skin to something velvety vetiver, cassis beries, and fruity floral undertones. Still don't love it, but i have to admit that it has some sort of cornucopia-esque quality.

    Mr. Croup

    I was surprised to learn i like this; it's dark, evil and in your face, but it's got a sweetness from the tonka and geranium that I don't remember smelling before from the lab. It's lightly dirt-y and has a bit of a straight up alcohol-y alcohol note. Just interesting enough not to run away from!

    And There Was A Great Cry In Egypt

    This reminds me of those honey cereals, it's almost creepy how much it smells like that on me. It's sliiightly reddish, the honey, saffron and cardamom make this foody on me i'm guessing.

    Antimony v9

    Wax? A sharp wax and a soft, green sandalwood.
  7. Sweet goat milk with a soft bourbon and patchouli. Perfumy- not gourmand on me.

    In Night When Colors All to Black Are Cast

    Agree with Patina, same plum as a shadow in the elevator - paired with an inky musk, a surprisingly soft opoponax, and the labdanum and honey giving this a herbal quality.

    Mars Corotiacus

    Reminds me vaguely of Elf, It's got the same wild berries on me, a soft white sage and a smooth dark undertone. Masculine and fresh.

    Blacker than the Raven Wings of Midnight

    Just a deep, dark incense on me, with a hint of the opalescent vanilla. Very pretty though I wish it brought out more of the notes on me..

    Jezebel

    A fresh, sensual mix of florals and sandalwood. The honey is slightly waxy on me, and the sandalwood is "red" on me.

    The Haunted Beach

    There's nothing beach about this on me! I'm guessing the ambergris morphs on me into something sweet, there's that moonlit musk - alltogether it becomes like something that reminds me of some nights in my childhood, outside on the open field near the forest. Odd.

    Eusapia

    A slightly spicy(?) lilac with a milky tea softening this up. Simple yet so interesting!

    Dinnertime at the Diviner’s Hut

    Agree with everyone aforementioned, a lovely frankincense with a slightly herbal tomato leaf. Prettyyyy.

    Little Sister is Watching You

    Don't know if I smelled cherry blossom before, so I can't really reference it to anything, but this is a blueish pink floral, it's got the same 'electric' note in it as midnight on the midway.

    CBBOB1

    A smooth red leather. Very subdued though, I have to get CLOSE to sniff this at all.

    This Wan White Humming Hive

    Completely dissapears on me, so i'll go off what I can smell in the bottle; Strong ambergris, a ghostly white veil around a plop of beeswax.

    The Phoenix in Autumn

    Love this! A comfy, warm autumn day scent. tonka-sweet patchouli and woods.
  19. Cali

    Ecstatic Revelry

    In the bottle something is grossing me out, guessing it's the cumin since it's a sharp brown scent, but there's no trace of this on my skin - it's morphed into a delightful mix of soft smoke across the room, sweet patchouli and amber.

    Apple III

    I'm sniffing so many tobacco scents the last 17 hours that either my brain is confusing them for the same thing every time, or i'm still having that cold from a month ago. That said, I get no apple, a hint of sweetness and mostly, tobacco.

    Reapers Gonna Reap

    Not complex on me, just exactly what it says, musky sandalwood and a toned down vanilla.
  22. Cali

    Mr. Prenderghast

    Uhhhh I also get ketchup, but, like, specifically 'green' heinz ketchup from the early 00's they put out around halloween back then. (It was a game changer for me). It's a touch "spicy", but that's also the tobacco giving this an edge. Don't hate it but it's not for me.

    Variety of Pleasing Amusements

    A "colder" honey scent, strong on the myhrr and tobacco.

    Mother Shub's Spiced Lait de Chèvre

    Boozy, a sweet VERY realistic egg nog note, and slightly spicy, but dissapears on my skin. A shame, this is delicious!

    Sapphics

    Quite sexy and spicy! I get mostly sweet tonka and balsam, the other notes are present, softly in the background. I don't know if I'd call this full-on sexy, but definately cozy and warm, cuddling close to the one you love in a warm place in winter.
