RedPersimmon

Bitter coffee and musky alcohol. The pumpkin spices probably contribute to the flat and dark quality of this scent, too.

Yum! A soft cloud of lemony mango. I'm addicted and want to wear this every day. Might get a backup.

Had high hopes for this one, as I'd heard such good things about it. Gave me an instant headache both of the times that I tried it. I like patchouli, vetiver, and vanilla. And I've liked other scents with myrrh, so maybe it's some combination of those that I can't take.

Strawberry amber chypre. Refreshing, airy, and not too sweet. Kind of a lighter fragrance after it dries, but it lasts for a long time in my hair.

When I first got this, I was iffy about it. But recently, I had to cover up an unpleasant odor in the bathroom (not mine!) and sprayed this on the cloth shower curtain. A couple of minutes later, the offending odor was gone and in its place was a sparkly musk with a touch of sweetness! It's gorgeous and smells fresh and crisp with a soft, sweet non-foody vanilla in the background.

Wet: A little bit spiced, like a cocoa-dusted cookie.

Dry: Smoky, perfumy amber jumps in. Wow, this one is super strong.

Drydown: waxy, perfumy amber. Getting a distinct cotton note here, as well.

Sweet peach and incense. There's not much vanilla to my nose.

When first applied, there's this green, leafy note with the soft sandalwood and frankincense. On the drydown, it's waxy and warm, with a light woody-resinous base.

Airy fresh rose, with cherry providing some fruity sweetness. Like a more airy, less sweet and less lemony Lush Rose Jam.

2019 version:

On me, this is a round, soft, peachy, musky amber. It does have a bit of saltiness, which cuts down on the sweetness. I really like this scent and am going to buy the hair gloss that came out this year.

High-end, fancy oudh incense with a hint of cherry and rose. Not indolic at all. Not bad, but not my style.

A little sharp--maybe the musk or the tobacco flower. Soapy and a little heady overall.

Mouthwatering citrus burst in the beginning. Dries to a faint, resinous citrus-benzoin.

Cheery, light. Lemon ginger apple, then champagne gets stronger. Verges on lemon cleaner.

Starts out citrusy and fresh, but ends as dryer sheets.

Red musk softened by amber and orange blossom, with carnation providing a touch of spice.

I've never tried the original, either. On me, this is a foodie vanilla with a big dose of almond.

Pumpkin spiced muffins with a bit of blueberry. The blueberry note was more pronounced when wet. Pretty strong if you spray it on your hair near your face! I could smell it all day and it's still almost overwhelming. Next time, I will make sure to spray it more on the back of my head.

A smooth, kinda sweet, watery fougere. As mentioned before, this is a cousin to Jareth and Dorian. I really like this! Yummy without being foody. A hint of strawberry. I feel like this has tobacco flower in it. I don't get the Lab's usual deep, dark tobacco here. It has that clean and round thing going on and when it's done right, tobacco flower is one of my favorite notes. Probably has white tea in it, too.

I get beautiful, nutty, fresh-from-the-rice-cooker basmati rice when I first apply it, but then the champaca keeps getting stronger and stronger until it just takes over. I think I'd like the basmati rice note paired with something that isn't so strong.

I put a little of this on my collar and I was immediately transported to a glorious strawberry vanilla cream cloud! This is much better when it's not directly on my skin. It's not the artificial strawberry that is so prevalent these days - I think the orange zest helps.

Starts out smelling like chocolate, fried dough, and almond cookies, but ends up as nutty gingerbread on me.

Mmm, tropical fruit! The banana was an interesting addition, too.

Acquired an aged sniffie of this, which smelled lovely in the imp. On skin, it became baby wipes. Not TOO surprised, since Snake Oil doesn't work on me.

Root beer + patchouli. Like Server Gremlins but more opaque, less sheer. I like it best when it's applied lightly. Drydown is a bit smoky and warm. Full. Vanilla without the sweetness. And a touch of something like soft tobacco. Large, warm, cozy, enveloping. Also a bit perfumy--the musk, perhaps? This phase reminds me of Odin. Powdery, deep, masculine but not bitter.
