This reminds me of running upto my Nana as a kid, and giving her a big hug. Her pinni (apron) covered in baking flour and powdered sugar. Her hands stroking my hair, stained with the lavender she'd freshly picked for tea. The warm oven, sink full of dishes and freshly hung cotton sheets in the background. I'm 8 again, life is good, calm... a sweet, powdery lavender dream. Happy sigh.

Tons of strong candied juicy black cherries with some sort of blackberry smush in the background! Creamy and also a little spice thrown in there. Reminds me of Chirstmas lol. This has some real sticking power too, long lasting.

Dead Leaves, Salt and Sea Home & Linen Spray
Nagi Mahe replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Atmosphere
This is like a handful of dry leaves scrunched up and sprinkled, whilst walking along a cold bleak beach. Think dry leaves and salty sea water. Whisps of cold wind blowing your hair out of place. What i will say is that it is currently spring in the UK... and this is making a nice, cool refreshing spray too. So don't assume it's for winter only! It has a medium throw and lasts quite a few hours in my livingroom. (I have sprayed it on fabric... my sofa throw) I am curious to those who have or will review this: 1. I think i'm getting cucumber from that 'cooling' scent? 2. Do i keep getting a ghostly whiff of leather? Anyone else catching these notes? Or is it just me? Maybe my bottle is haunted lol. -
Absolutely agree with Roseus. Classic S.W with a really good throw. That sweet floral snow lingers well! Buttery lotion without being greasy. Can not get enough of this one!

Well this is a beauty! I expected a punchy almost bitter passion fruit, maybe even sinthetic. But what i got was a true passion fruit, sweet but not sugary. (More like an over ripe fruit) With a soft creamy custardy layer. I worried about the 'burned sugar' and if it would come across like caramel or brown sugar. It did not! It's nessled in the background. Peeking round the corner of the passion fruit. This truely is a zingy, bright, creamy fruity treat! Quite a nice throw and wear time too! I'd back up bottle this.

Strawberry Moon: Kyphi and Sweet Cream
Nagi Mahe replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Ok, in the bottle... heavy cream begging to go sour. Not getting any of my beloved Kyphi, just a very faint golden smell. On the skin, oh no... sour cream. It's making me wrinkle my nose. I still don't get any straight up kyphi. Just a light golden sweet smell, trying to fight its way through. Dry down, still sour. There is still a vague golden incense trying, but failing. If you do well with the Labs cream note, you'll love this. And i do occasionally get a thread of incense, but i'm not loving this one. -
Oh hello bright pink juicy bubble gum. Second out of the gate... ruby red mushrooms! And then comes the musk. I don't get any distinct plum or strawberry, i think this is hidden in the background of the bubble gum! So is the candy floss and marshmallow! I do get a hit of fruity brandy! This has masses of throw and super long lasting. There is a morphing background to this. But the bubble gum stays strong. Anyone a fan of jail bait etc... may well love this.

S.O lotion, ok don't kill me lol.. but i find this misses the mark. The scent is so light that unless my nose is directly on my arm, i can barely smell anything. I was expecting a punch of S.O. How ever this makes a good base for layering. The lotion itself, thick and creamy. Soaks in well.
-
Single note white hot chocolate! A beautiful light, straight foward sweet scent! As expected med/low throw and lasting power. There is no 'sour' turning cream to this. (I have issues with creamy milky lab notes) but this stays true! The lotion itself, is very buttery, but not greasy.
-
OMG... this is beautiful. This years coffee note, has been more like ground raw coffee beans.... but in this one, there is simply a hint of soft coffee. Then a warm snuggle! I have been huffing like a loon to work this scent out. I finally get what reminds me of an alcoholic vanilla custard cream dessert?! It's sweet, soft and comforting
-
OK, in the bottle... ugh In the bottle after resting... ugh On skin.... ouuu hello what are you?! I get a blast of strong boozy fruit. This takes a while to calm. Finally i get a 'pie crust' type pastry smell. Slightly sweet, but not sugary sweet. This packs a punch, amps like mad, lasts ages on the skin. Only problem is that the cream note is over powered... i wish i could smell a trace of creamy bourbon, but nothing. Just fruit and booze. If you like those traditiinal Christmas puddings, this is for you.

Snap! Snap! Sugar crystals and tart candies with a splash of red musk. [DO NOT EAT] This is a candied cherry/strawberry sugary sweetness. Loud, strong, fruity and long wearing. Reminds me of the gummy smell in Lil's Motherhood. The musky redness only comes into play in the dry down. All in all playful and super fruity. Major throw. One bottle will go a long way.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture — a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees — very gradually — I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. Milky white fluid obfuscating a pale, lilac-blue iris. In the bottle this is all milk.Which frightened me as I often turn milky notes sour on my skin. Skin test: OK this is quite a fresh milky scent on my skin with a very faint 'purple tinge' I think the lavender keeps this from going sour. Minimal throw and minimal lasting power, however I like this fresh creamy scent

A sanguinous firecracker of cherry simple syrup and dragon’s blood resin. Rich cherry, cherry syrup and a touch of spice. There may ba a small trace of almond. Strong throw and lasting power. Quiet artificial smelling, but not bad.

Oh yes yes yes. Just perfect, totally agree with the above. I amp honey, but this is well blended and the milk makes it very creamy. I can see this being popular!
