Most realistic bpal rose scent I have encountered. If you're looking for the genuine scent of a real rose, even down to the leaves - this is it.
-
Fluff (vanilla-y cotton on me), bright pumpkin, a bit of cinnamon, and clove clove clove! This is so goooood - like the lovechild of Jack and Game Over
-
2019 version Pumpkin cake and a thick smear of cream frosting (which maybe has coconut in it?) and dusty, powdery cardamom. Not as spicy as I expected, but I'm fine with that!
-
Mostly kelp and salt on me, with leather in there somewhere... not bad it's dangerously close to tipping over to a "febreezed bathroom" smell...
-
Woody salt and spicy, spicy rum that smells, somehow, like bubblegum! That probably comes from the "prostitute's perfume." Like a seaside candle shop! Edit: aged about 2 months this smells a lot like Chanel No. 5!
-
The nicest vetiver I've yet encountered - musky evergreen and myrrh, and a smidgen of mullein. Awesome!
-
Disappeared almost completely as soon as I put it on! Just a hint of fruity rose
-
Incense shop! Floral-type dragon's blood weighted by soft leather.
-
Just the lavender, gardenia, lilac, and ylang ylang for me. Smells like the backyard of my childhood home in summer. Just the lavender, gardenia, lilac, and ylang ylang for me. Smells like the backyard of my childhood home in summer.

Super fresh crisp fruit - strong grape and pear with a pinch of peach - over musky florals. Very pretty and summery!
-
Sweet, gentle, and pink! Skin musk and jasmine over soft amber and sandalwood. Not soapy, but a scent that would go nicely in soap.
-
Oh heck yeah - this is 100% sweet, spicy, candied anise on me! However it does itch
-
On me this is totally incense and pez candies! Mostly myrrh and wine - cool and lightly fruity, but still has that musty incense effect I love.
-
Boozy flowers, moss, and loam. Lemons and spice somewhere in there. Nice, but underwhelming given the praise I've heard of it.
-
Not much to say on this one beyond just "yup. that's cucumber." Fresh and green and watery
-
This is not going the way I expected... definitely rose and patch and sandalwood, but presenting not at all how they've done on me before. Woody hard candies of a nondescript flavor.
-
Ooh! What a pleasant surprise! The blackcurrent/ozone combo is actually awesome, and combined with the musk, lavender, and resins this totally smells like a Lush store. Oh yeah. This is a crate of bath bombs right here.
-
In the imp it smells almost exactly like True Love, but as soon as it hit my skin it flipped to strong, sneezy honeysuckle and sharp jasmine. Dang it. Generic floral soap scent.
-
A warm soup of resins and spice, livened by black pepper. The neroli is not distinct but it lingers in the background keeping the scent from being too intense
-
Rose and creamy orris over warm coconut - what I imagine extremely high-end sunscreen smells like. Uncomplicated and lovely.
-
Mostly tobacco, amber, and orchid, with light spices and sharp musks. Like magazine cologne samples but actually good lol
-
Fresh from the museum in 2019! A warm shroud of musky vanilla and balsam draped over polished, resiny leather.... evocative of polished wood cases, brass rails, the funk of thousands of gruesome medical specimens, and the horror of encountering the phrase and sight of "moist gangrene of the right foot" Truly one of my favorite bpal scents: superbly balanced, understated, elegant but still a bit weird. SUPER cozy. Like OLLA Eve minus the frankincense. Perfect for the morbid nerd in your life.

Chaos Theory V: Recursive Self-Similarity v1
monocainsheresy replied to awesomeoverlord's topic in Limited Editions
First character or two got rubbed off, ends in XVII Very similar to Fate's Jester, but lighter and less foody. Definitely sugar and lemon, grounded by Dorian. Pretty sure there's ginger and maybe coconut, and the slightest hint of an oudh-y funk. A wee bit grassy. Summery, soapy, and tropical. Leans heavily toward the feminine side. I like this very much, but I wish it was stronger! EDIT: after settling for about a week this is much warmer and muskier - this is an autumn scent more than it is a summer one! -
I get vanilla and saffron on top, with a mid layer of some sort of thick floral, probably gardenia, and a base of woods, definitely part sandalwood. On me the spicy vanilla woodiness is very dominant and I my skin eats up the floral layer and turns it vaguely salty and aquatic. Honestly, this smells like a liquified State Fair. Majorly brings up memories of popcorn and cotton candy and hot asphalt!

Cold aquatics and ginger, with some undefined floral clouds - elegant, understated, and feminine.
