Vaporeon

Hmmm. This is def oudh. Its such a weird smell, but I find it kind of addictive. It has the slightest mentholic edge but isnt sharp at all. I Like the way it plays with the vanilla, i find it really smooth. I love it, but im also a little grossed out. Go figure

Beautiful, an instant fave. Way more vanilla than i was expecting and such a mellow vetiver. It reminds me a lot more of a more mellow Solstice Scents Manor than any Bpal I've tried. It doesnt strike me as similar to Unicorn and Ram or any of the others really

Damn the oud when is this wet is SCARY sour and smelly. But once it chills out a little it blends into the sugary lily. Not too intense and super weird. I really like it, im glad i didnt give in to my urge to immediately wash it off.

A little smoky and floral, a little dry, but also smells alive, like nature. I absolutely love this. I find it gives me true pleasure to wear, maybe even having a millon scents I was in a bit of a rut!

The drydown of this is so pretty, cool, and creamy. But damn that mandarin opening is painful. I also don't detect at at least half the notes, definitely no smoke, leather, jasmine or rose

Love this. Not too smokey incense a little creamy, a little rosy, not sharp at all. Cathedral and midnight mass dont really do much for me, this has more depth

Bleh. I have an old imp of this thats complex and deep with cinnamon. The bottle i got recently is not similar at all, sharp and biting with no spice or anything resembling decay, might as well be eostre. What a bummer

I get mostly sweet and salty vanilla-musk with a hint of rose and wood. The longevity is much better now than when I first got it and I like it much more. This almost reminds me a lot of a lighter inez with rose instead of carnation

2007 bottle: Oh man this is so good. It goes on really chocolaty then I smell coffee, then cinnamon sugar. Very realistic smelling and smooth. And as a barista of almost ten years the smell of coffee has the potential to get old FAST to me. This brown sugar note is so soft, never sharp this is the first time I've smelled a blend with sugar and it hasn't detracted from the experience.

I think this scent is really good, its smooth and soft and complex, a little woody, a little sweet. But unfortunately I only smell those things when I smell it very closely. Otherwise I can't shake the impression of cantaloupe!- not a fruit I enjoy. Lol hopefully this passes.

Very leathery. It smells a lot like The White Rider with a little sweetness behind it. Juniper, I miss you. come back.

2011- yayyyyyyy it opens strongly leafy and stays there for awhile. Then it mellows a but and and becomes Velvet-esque with delicate mint and musk overlaying, very subdued and complex. How people describe Zorya Polunochnaya as ghostly and ethereal, this is that for me while she is just an okay amber. Im in love

Oh boy this one is just way too much for me. Super sweet and overwhelming cloves. Disappointing, I dont get any cedar or anything resembling dust. I prefer The Wild Men of Jezirat Al Tennyn for a clove scent thats way more complex and doesn't give me a headache.

Very powdery and dry. The scent this most reminds me of is Pediophobia, but lighter and without the sweetness and I think I can detect the bergamot. It makes me feel Aloof

The reviews of the original put me off this one despite it having my favorite notes. Im glad I finally went for it though! It has the same kind of tobacco that I love so much in Santo Domingo without the florals or maple syrupy vibe that one has. I only get the barest hint of a cologne scent, with a slight booziness from the bourbon and a little bit of a dry powdery quality from what I assume is the dry bone. Looking forward to wearing this a tobacco scent instead of Santo Domingo post-summer.
