Old persons home that has one of those active air fresheners. *shudders*
-
I get a loooot of leather from this, mostly. The other notes compliment it very well, it's a sweet, but very fresh scent. Not for me (just made me sneeze, even), but i know somebody else will LOVE this.
-
Another your-skin-but-better. Light scent of a juicy shimmery pear. Hmmm.
-
Dissapears besides leaving a trace of pink pepper. 😞
-
In the bottle this vaguely reminds me of wilf, but a darker, less sweet and dirtier version. On drydown i'm really getting the notes exactly. Very interesting, very pretty scent. It's slightly "peppery" but strong on the oudh, and it's turned spicy and sweet, but nothing too crazy. It's ethereal.
-
Agree with the herbal liquorice notes. It's far more soft and sugary than actual absinthe i've had though, and no anise (though the sugar could "reference" that, i guess, but this is more of a brown sugar than an anise sugar if that makes any sense to anyone but me). Actually very enjoyable!

Kusunoki Tamonmaru Masatsura Surprising a Fox Ghost
Cali replied to Invidiana's topic in Limited Editions
Man, my skin is just eating everything now, seemingly and it saddens me - this is a deep blue scent with some florals and myrrh in the background. Barely noticable on me. -
i'm a sucker for the pumpkin patches anyway, but it seems adding snake oil to that for me is a winner, sexy, tart- and spicy pumpkiny sweetness!
-
This is just something i can only pin down as 'pleasantly sweet' and a soft tobacco note in the background. Doesn't change on application. Nice, but not for me.
-
was a little scared trying this out, in the bottle this is a sweetish but sharp, green scent that's almost giving me a pang of headache every time i sniff it. On my skin this morphs into a lovely frothy vanilla indeed. Airy, with swirls of amber and frankincense. Quite lovely! Once again cursed with this also dissapearing on my skin.
-
I'm confused as this almost completely dissapears on me. In the bottle strong amber and balsam notes, on my skin just a little bit of tonka.
-
A damp harvest marketplace of mostly fruits (apple-heavy)! Honestly pretty similar to my 2013 bottle of samhain, but that one is 'nighttime', this one is in the autumn sunlight. Alas, no throw.
-
Delicious, red punchy pudding in the bottle, but getting the exact same results as Follis above me when it touches my skin. Goes plastic, medicinal, vaguely cognac-y with a nice, but barely-there fig. Aw.
-
Thick realistic chocolate and a touch of leather in the bottle, goes chocolate and wax on my skin. Not my favourite combo, but the chocolate note is once again wonderful!
-
Reminds me a lot of The waltz from the Crimson peak collection, but a slightly more purply and colder one. Light and flowy. Heavy on the bourbon and opium for me. I don't think there's much of the berries, vanilla or plum on my skin though - hoping these will show themselves later on, bc this is good and very close to being GREAT.
-
I'm sorry? But how in the f*ck do they make such an evocative scent, that almost makes me sad? Wistful indeed, a bittersweet mirror of worlds. Very interesting deep scent. The cacao and the white/colder scents somehow work well together (there is definately something ghostly in here), and the rose and patchouli scooch over to the backseat in this one on my skin. Not an everyday scent, but beautiful. Just beautiful.
-
I think this needs more time to age for me, but it's lovely. I get some jasmine (and also agree with the honeysuckle comparison), RED musk and salty seas. My skin amps whatever the salt is a lil bit, but I do believe this needs some time in a dark corner for me to try it out again, later. I WANT to love this, and I like it a LOT, but it's not quite there yet. It's similar to Mme moriarty to me, the new one, but watery-er. Maybe it's just my skin? Eh. Sticking it out, it's got so much potential.
-
2022 version - Have gotten compliments on this already. It's absolutely delicious and exactly what it says on the tin, both in the bottle and on my skin. Hoping it will age to be stronger, but I am biased to strong(er/bigger throw-) scents anyway. Amazing. Yesyesyesyes
-
The sister of WILF. That's exactly what it is for me. Maybe a little less "heavy" (or cloying?) then WILF can be, but pretty much a slightly different-kind-of-sweet-but-pretty-much-wilf for me both in the bottle and on the skin. Beautiful!! 🥰
-
Honestly, i've had this with all the lupers I've gotten this year- Exactly what I imagined, and pretty much exactly the notes in the description. Scrumptious red juicy apples, deep purply incense and florals. Not a huge throw but hoping this will age well. Hmmm..
-
Rrrrrrr. Smutty and delicious. I want to eat my arm when this is on me and boy do I slather it. It reminds me a bit of the old Mme Moriarty, but slightly deeper, boozier/more edible and sexier. Can't wait for this to age more. 🤤
-
Just a really good sexy spicy, incensy red musk. It's odd, because I remember an old imp I once (like 6-7yrs ago at this point) had was SO STRONG my whole workplace started smelling like it. My coworkers at the time didn't love it (I did) but the more recent bottle I have is not as strong by any means. Still, it's very good (iconic) and I hope it ages to what the other one was. 😍
-
The perfect pumpkin heavy-halloween scent I was hoping to find from BPAL? 'Til the day I've found something better, yes - this is it. Sweet pumpkin waffles 'n hay, chaotically halloweeny-orange. Hmmm.
-
ABSOLUTELY something I HAVE to be in the mood for, it can make me feel sick if I wear this on the wrong day, but man, this can be so sexy! Somebody really sweetly gifted this to me, and I, before that, hadn't looked at this before and it's a nice surprise. Have only just looked at the notes now, after having owned this for over a year, but they make sense. I think the tobacco and leather can be a little too much sometimes, but otherwise this is a very well blended sweet mix of sexy that'll keep ya busy sniffing your arm.
-
Strong and dark in the bottle. Almost too daunting (reminds me a lil of vetiver) to put on, but morphs on the skin a bit to mostly reveal gravedirt, some dead leaves (but not overpoweringly so), and I am pretty much getting a nice mix of the rest of the notes of ivy, maple, fig and cypress, that somehow blend to a sweet pulp. I like it but I unfortunately think it's giving me a headache even though it's not that strong. I'm just a weak baby though, don't let it scare you off, pun intended.
