Mpfh, as much as i am having difficulty adding to a description of this - as i get all the notes in there - it is not overly simple and quite sexy. Gots ta find myself a man to smear this on (...but until then my own locks will do). This is a grown-up , soft and slightly masculine leaning spicy scent. The vanilla bean making this an indeed "approachable" scent, friendly. The myrrh and sandalwood working hard to make this something i deem quite sexy indeed.

Slightly soapy from the imp to indeed a more ritual-apt scent; warm berries, soft dusty fir and an ashy natural note (the bark) incense. If i could get my house to smell like this in winter I Know I've Made It!

Weirdly i am getting some kind of chocolate wet, which drizzles, then, to a slightly less thick... More.... orange-chocolate? That, and on top a goopy marshmallow (a red-currant one?). No (well only the slightest dusting of) cinnamon.

Dreamy from the get-go. Dreamy akin to Oberon, Titania, and Puck with fairies dancing, even a somewhat similarly whimsical fragrance; soft, pinkish and pillowy. Not a strong throw here, definately a your skin but better scent. Pinky-champagne vanilla-floral, a slash of red amber warmth and leather, prickling, twinkling and sparkling together to make marvellous mischief, a magical moment in time.

Oh man, delicious butterscoch rum (though not strong on the alcohol/booze-note) soft sweet hazelnuts on a backdrop of beautiful outdoorsy (though strangely enough not cold but cozy) snowy wonderland. What a dream. Holding on to this decant for sure.
-
Super fruity freshly applied. Strong and thiccv red currants and indeed a candied thick red crust, barely to no patchouli. A whisp, if you will (no pun intended)? Doesn't morph too much; a nice, very red currant candy with a sliiiight ground of soft patchouli far in the background.

Everything everywhere all at once when wet - and within a minute, where did everything go? I am left with a less impressive version of Christmas lustre, but with a far fruitier overtione. Absolutely not bad, and i am doing it a bit of a dissersive - but that is because my skin just eats this. Por qué?!?!
-
The tart cherries worry me from the get go (the "almond-cherry" note) but i must admit it fades to something less offensive to my nose quite quickly; THIS is a delicious red cherry crumble with a beautiful romance-(but slightly overly sweet) themed cocktail and a bowl of those red sugar primavera candies from haribo. Honestly, SUPER super fun and really beautiful and a little hyper.

Ohhh mAN. First off, the jasmine is kept well in-check here, a velvety soft experience of a tropical moonlit paradise, a shimmer of moonlight and a glimmer of indeed a fruity-like something aside from the accomodating citrus.. This is sultry and beautiful and i may need a bottle in the future. Keeping my claws onto this decant for sure!!

Ooooo heady floral indeed. Not so much as like in Hymn, but a more tropical, more akin to (though not -leaning) aquatic heady. On drydown there's morr of a green peppery punch which heads slightly more in the direction of cottage garden, but perhaps my skin likes to amp these types of notes. It does calm down the tiniest bit to step back more into the creamy side. I can also join in with the 'it's giving jasmine or honeysuckle but also not quite'-camp. Super sexy, summery, warm, creamy floral.

So excited to try this one! Exactly all notes are all there; this is a nostalgic, old timey christmas through the lens of a magic lantern; a slightly blurry-at-the-edges, colourful imagery tinged with image noise and some scratches of a warm, cozy christmas past. The amber has a similar "illuminating" effect here as in the blow mold scents, on me the throw is surpisingly strong! I'm guessing the chestnut throws in a bit of sliiiiightly dirt-like (but very soft) grit that compliments the allspice (is there even a tiny bit of dried orange in here?) and the caramel is the soft background to it all.
-
That's bloody alright! First thing that hits me is a metallic-like twang (that deepens and softens more into the other notes later on), and thennnn that clove comes out (kinda wanna lick this)... I think the main note that i am getting must be the pomegranate, which is one that I am not super aquainted with, but it's decidedly red, lucious and slightly "watery". Unfortunately i have to take this off as this seems to be triggering a migraine for me. 😭

Ooph, heady and very strong a-something akin to a strong white floral/jasmine right from the get-go (though both the rose and champaca are there), and quickly (phew) calms down; honestly just a lovely mix of both; it is the rose with freshly-cut stems/the greeny note in there, not the peacock queen-rose. It's not very ampy at all which is what I was expecting with the champaca, but a lot of this frustratingly dissapears on my skin! Bah!! May be too "soapy-feeling" for some, but to me it's just dusty enough that is dissuades from that.

Oh no, did I buy the wrong lovebat? (Sorry pink lovebat, you're adorable too)! Straight from the imp this is delightful, reminds me of those overly-sweet fantas i had as a kid in New Zealand they had well over 20 years ago in so many fluorescent colours that don't exist anymore and would probably make me sick these days. But oh so happy, fuzzy. The bubbly-ness calms down a little bit on drydown, but there is still hat candy-green apple with a soft-creamy centre. Mint provides the fuzzyness. Unfortunately not a great throw but loving this. Would be a LOVELY summer scent! And may need to find myself a bottle.

Delicious black cherries, dry (but not too heady) plum wine on a smokyyyy (fiery) base of kyphi and red sandalwood. On my skin too, the cherries phase out quite a lot and it turns into a far more dragon-matched scent indeed. Still very sweet and surprisingly soft; he kyphi also gets less fiery and the 'funk' in here also drops significantly. I am left with a fluffy red skin musk.
