    Hollywood Babylon

    Wet, tis is mostly cherry on me. Which i'm not a fan of, but if you are you just may love this- Dry, strong strong juicy cherry with a delicious strawbnilla amber enveloping it; it becomes less foodie and somehow slightly tarty and ...cakelike? Like leftover pieces of cherry pie. Quite delightful!

    Marie

    I like the idea of this, but violet always amps on me 'till it just gets too much for me. A shame, because this is a lovely feminine, soft fragrance. There's a milkyness to it, a very soooft tea note that mixes in with the roses. No green on these roses! Just the soft redness of 'em. But yeah, violet overpowers on my skin, which in the imp gives it this interesting, purply silvery edge that really makes it stand out!

    Pink Phoenix

    Yay, finally having a go at this one! Strong bright vanilla and honey at the forefront with this one on me- sweet pea is the background in this, and the pear and strawberry barely there, though i can pick them out. It's fuzzy, almost fizzy. A very realistic very sweet, goopy, gushy peach-coloured scent!

    The Hag

    Vetiver is one of my death notes, but i've been so curious about this one for a while, so i'm happy to get to try this! And I'm happy to say that this is a soft, beautifully blended vetiver, that kind of feels like a velvet backdrop to the other notes. The bay leaves are strong, but in the few previous scents i've tried that had that note, it tends to amp on me. It's this spicy green note which goes wonderfully together with the rum here. The blackcurrant gives this a slight fruity, quirky feel; slightly feminine, a swoosh of purply red. Herbal, mysterious, jolly. Lovely!

    Chaos Theory IV: Edge of Chaos

    LLLXXXI - Woods? a mix of herbs and spices, the green spices taking the upper hand. A smidge of tobacco somewhere in the background, and a white floral twirling it's way upward and to the front as it dries down.

    The Perfumed Garden

    Sweet florals and fruity saps. Strong jasmine looms over myrrh and sandalwood, who blanket all those florals and fruits.

    Shub-Niggurath

    Spices! Lots of spices and herbs - sweet but soft ginger and maybe a veeeery faint purply dark resin. This is lovely, but i'm missing something here that makes it irresistable, and i think my skin ate ...that.

    Faeu Boulanger

    Hm. Aquatic-foggy, slightly minty floral with an undertone of something rotting. Why skin, why!

    Mad Sweeney

    Ohh. Oh woe is me- this is a gorgeous sexy, smoky boozy wooden perfume, beautifully spiced. However, the smell of whiskey will always be the reminder of a bad memory, one of those from the past, that i just cringe when i do smell it. Unfortunate, because this is gorgeous.

    Lughnasadh

    Herby, smoky cherry drink. Has a similar vibe as mulled wine. I want a sip!

    The Pearl in the Volcano

    Oh, gorgeous! A white milky red cream, slighty spiced up by the vetiver. Usually vetiver is a big death note for me, but here it's beautifully blended into the background, adding just enough of a tinge in there to work extraordinary well here.

    Tushnamatay

    Hippie shop. Pure hippie shop. slightly spicy sandalwood, possibly incense and a warm honey-sweetness.

    Centzon Totochtin

    There's a metallyness from the blood, it's not neccesarily mechanic, more.. musky, that stands out to me first thing sniffing this. Pair that with a thirst-enducing, but not overly strong red booze note and a sweet but bitter cocoa. I shouldn't like this knowing my own track record, but i really, really do!

    Pele

    I reapplied this and my skin must be eating this, i only get a faint whiff of soap. :c

    #20 Love Oil

    Herbs. Wet herbs? There's something reddish in here, possibly rose or another floral. I'm not getting anything else. Not bad, but not something i'd wear?

    The Sea Foams Milk

    A salty milky sea. It's quite soft. but the lab's salty sea note starts amping on me on drydown, so i'm gonna go ahead and wash this off before it goes haywire.

    Water of Notre Dame

    A slightly greenish aquatic. Very calm, soft. Barely noticeable on me unfortunately, but this is an awesome evocative scent i can imagine putting up when drawing something like a cove, or a cave atmosphere.

    Sacred Whore of Babylon

    Don't know what i was expecting, but it's not this - a spicy white/pastel something floral with an extra sweetness i can't put my finger on. (Honey? Something creamy? Another bright floral perhaps)? Nice, but completely dissapears on my skin..

    Black Rose

    Yep, definately smells 'heavy'. It's a beautiful velvety dark rose with just the slightest touch of spicy amber and musk.

    Pahoehoe

    Oh man, delicious! I'm getting the notes exactly, it's a delicious fruity cocktail that's not overly boozy!

    Dwarven Ale

    I've smelled something similar in another lab perfume that i for the life of me can't think of which one it was at the moment- but! This is a lovely cherry mead - the kind of mead that i don't love to drink because it's just TOO overly sweet personally, but i don't mind having a sniff...

    Bathsheba

    A dry, spicy musk, with that gooei plum wayy in the background giving it a delicious depth. Hmm...

    Al Azif

    Is it weird that i'm getting some kind of caramel here? Like, a fruity caramel hard candy. Nothing dark about this on my skin and i'm really confused lol.

    Cthulhu

    Irish spring soap indeed, but i don't hate it at all!

    A Countenance Forboding Evil

    Such strong vetiver, it's super overpowering the sweet ylang ylang and patchouli here. It has a red-hot feel to it thanks to the blood orange. Not my thing unfortunately.
