So. The scent itself is amazeballs. Stekk and antique lace had a baby. *French kiss*

I immediately ordered 3 backups. Now after having it a few days I'm becoming very sad because I'm realizing how weak it is. Like...can't smell unless my nose is on my wrist, even freshly applied, even with my whole forearm slathered. Bummer...this could be so great if the formula was less watered down, and now am almost regretting the backups. Perhaps it will strengthen with age, but I never really have luck with that.

Soapy to me. But I think ill sit on it for a year and see what happens. 

Beautiful! And then gone in 5 minutes 😭

When first sprayed "ummm...that kinda stinks". Couple minutes in and it all melds together beautifully. Honestly the leather doesn't read as leather to me , but rather enhances/alters the patchouli to make a different version of patchouli for me. The honey is that floral honey like snakes kiss (no this does not smell like snakes kiss, but only comparison I have) rather than the sickly animalic honey I sometimes get from other blends. All together it's dark, sinister and sensual. Me likes.

This is beautiful. Foodie but not overly so to me. The Amber makes it glow enough that I don't feel like I simply rolled in a dessert. Warm, comforting, unobtrusive. Will get lots of wear this away.

Surprise win! The Apple note is sweet, not too tart. The bourbon and brown sugar (NOT the dreaded burnt caramel note!) really round the Apple out so well. And I underneath it all, I get a whiff of something that reminds me of the only mainstream perfume I've held on to (and there were A LOT that i got rid of after discovering oils)... atelier silver iris. Don't misunderstand, this doesn't smell like mainstream perfume or even the silver iris blend. But there is "something" in both that is a unique smell that I had never encountered before and I love it. I almost want to describe it as "good lipstick" but that sounds very unappealing . 

Mmm, sweet blackberry. I get something that reminds me of celeste underneath it all. I'm not sure what it is, but it's a note I have only smelled in celeste and one other that I THINK was volcanoes in springtime. It's hard to deacribe. But I'm so glad I snatched this on a whim. 

Yessss....like the best smelling vanilla candle I've ever smelled. I dunno why, but to me I get that gentle, calming candle wax vibe ...with vanilla cake. WINNER. Backups in order. 

The dead leaves note isn't really my thing...but I keep trying. This is the most wearable version to me! The honey tempers what always comes off as harshness to me in a beautiful way. Oh, and I also hate honey. But somehow REALLY enjoyed this blend. 

 

Really enjoying this one! Will be wearing it to my Christmas eve festivities. The mint is subdued like it is in cabbage white hg. It's more apparent when first sprayed, then becomes a pillow soft mint in the background of an almost Angel food cake vibe from the powdered sugar and vanilla cream. When first sprayed the cinnamon is more apparent from the snickerdoodle but quickly recedes to simply become a barely there tie in component. Will definitely be getting some wear time over here!

Heavennnnly! Seriously...I needed a hundred backups. But then five minutes later it was completely gone. The scent just disappeared. And now I'm rocking in a corner crying because this coulda been so great.

On me, this is stekk with cardamom. Cardamom is strong when first applied, but dissipates down to become more balanced with the vanilla and cream after a bit. It's a love child between steak and whatever that harvest one from the empress was called (that I didn't get but ALMOST did) in my noses opinion.

#1
When I sniffed in the bottle, I thought "ehhh, probably a no". But after letting it settle a few and spraying it in my hair, I'm in love. Pumpkin spice of course, but subdued by what I think is a pine/spruce note, gingerbread and champaca. Heady and perfect for the season! Crazy how random mashings of notes can turn out so gorgeous. I would never have purchased a scent with all those note together, but would be missing out by not!
Definitely going to "spin again" and order another!

#3. Ah-mazing! I swear this has dragons milk in it. Anyone who has tried dragons milk hair gloss knows it has a unique, extra potent, oil thick smell. That sounds awful but I don't know how else to describe it. It just has a different texture to the scent then other hairglosses. I detect that same awesomeness in here. Plus I think extra apple. I could be totally off of course...lol

WIN. Will be buying another.

Wet it does smell like trix or fruit loops! Kinda wish it stayed that way. When dry, the mint is a gentle mint similar to alisz but less minty then that if that makes sense. Mint marshmallow is an apt description. The lemon sugar is soft and subdued. It really is quite lovely, I was initially put off when I read mint and almost didn't order. I'm broke as shit or I'd get a backup. depending how long they stay up, I still may.

This isn't faint at all to me as others describe (granted its only been on for five minutes). I just did one swipe from my decant wand and it's fairly potent...and gorgeous. Very feminine in an understated way. A dusty vanilla sandalwood with a hint of nonfloral floral....if that makes sense. Only say that because I despise most florals and this is lovely.

Damn chemistry. Wet this was beautiful on me, and I immediately was contemplating multiples. Then my hormones ruined it and it turned to soap. This is fresh out of the mail, and it is a bad time of the month. Retesting is in order at a later date. I'll be back...

Sexy, warm leather with a musk backdrop. I have a mild latex allergy, and I think my body rejected the "latex" scent because it made me feel horribly nauseous. Sucks because I loved the scent, but had to ultimately rehome.

i adore this one. It reminds me a bit of the mainstream perfume parisienne, which I loved, but went funky on my skin. I mostly get soft rose, no screechy floral tinge n sight. The vanilla rounds it out to make it even softer, and I personally can't tease out the frankincense. This one is plush and whimsical to me. Hubby disagrees and calls it baby powder...but I get none of that. Perhaps a bit of powder as in an old Victorian body powder that would sit on a guided vanity. But even then, I don't like to use the description "powdery".

I'm so pleased that this update has changed my feelings towards rose notes. This and dix are the winners for me. Ordered backups.

Server gremlins = Stinky bastards...fitting

All the notes play lovely together, for me the myrrh is just a background note that's barely there. It almost reminds me of a less tart, slightly syrupy from the honey, holiday hg.

 

The honey doesn't go funky like it usually does for me. A winner in my book and happy I blind bought a full size.

OK I suck at reviews. But since there still aren't any posted for this I feel that SOMEONE has to do it.

This one is GORGEOUS. Dark pink strawberry candy, with just enough vanilla to calm it down some. The orange blossom is just the glue between the other notes. I had such high hopes for enveloped in silk, but I was in the minority and was let down. THIS is what I had hoped for. Even the man thing adores this and he's not easily impressed with my smellies.

 

Will be getting a backup after my decants arrive and I decide on other full size purchases. This was one of two full size blind buys.

I think this one is beautiful. Warm, cozy musk with sweetened leather. One of only five scents out of allll the recants I bought, that I'll be springing for full bottles of ( edible g-string, snake skin, snake kiss, smut)

If you're like me, and honey is awful on you, this is the version of "honey" for you! What I'm assuming is the honeycomb note is beautiful, buttery, non funky honey that has an almost floral quality to it, not sure how else to describe it. I really like this. Same kind of feel as snow white, zorya p and Dana oshee (not similar to any of those, just the same kind of "feeling" even though that makes no sense at all). This IS fresh out the mailbox, and a few more tests are required, but I think it'll end up being backup worthy.

This is an unexpected favorite. I was curious enough to try it, and mannn am I glad I did. Above is correct in the description of a gingerbread incense! But not a terribly heavy one. Buying two backups!
