Notes from strongest to lightest: Honey, milk, buttercream, fig, and ambrette seed. Foody in a perfumey way. Surprisingly low throw.
-
In the bottle it's BIG on the cedar and frankincense, but when it hits the skin it turns into a lovely little parcel of clove, anise, cinnamon, and a wee bit of vanilla + saffron with the cedar + frank way in the background. I don't get any carnation or bergamot.
-
Slime Queen front and center with silvery sugar crystals, over Dorian with the proportion of tea to vanilla somehow flipped, with sweet honey Snake Oil dripping all over it - damn, I'm so mad I didn't go for a bottle of this when I had the chance!
-
Mostly juniper and sage with a strong amber layer. Cool and sleek with mild gritty herbs beneath. No copal for me. A Bath & Body Works type summer scent.
-
Huh. Sniffed from the decant I expected this to be a poo oudh, and it does do that very briefly, but it quickly changes into a chilled, metallic, opium-reminiscent thing? This is a weird, cold, amber goop on a very soft bed of woody oudh.
-
Ahhhhh yes this is good - a dirt + moss combo exactly like in Druid, but cold and dry where Druid is warm and moist. Much more sleek and mainstream. There's also something creamy floral in here, I'm guessing from the "moonlit skies".
-
Herbal-aquatic elmer's glue??? I mean that in the nicest way possible, but that's what I smell! I get mostly dew, with the herbs coming in second and the florals as an afterthought. Very pretty, elegant, and sleek.
-
Very wet, hot florals - I get mostly jasmine and carnation on that front - and tangerine juice over a powdery base of musk and amber.
-
Oooh! Musky herbal lavender with a hint of juicy cherry + rose - not what I expected, but definitely wonderful!

Mostly the lubricating oils and anise on me, with leather in the background. A spicy cologne scent. -
Powdery amber + rose. I don't get any musk. Weird cloying undertone that smells like lotion.
-
Honey that fades into musky beeswax dust
-
The lovechild of Ouija and Burial - crumbly dry roses and fresh (but not wet) dirt.
-
Can't pick out any specific notes on this - I get a smooth powdery blanket of nag champa + oudh, with a bright edge of red musk. Not going to buy a full bottle but will probably seek out an empty to house my 3 imps of it.
-
Hmm. Soapy lime over rusty metals, and a bit of hot powder. To me this smells like Abercrombie x bathroom cleaner aisle. Not full bottle worthy, but I'll be experimenting with it.
-
Mmm! Booze, spices, and fluttery buttery almond!
-
Foody, with molasses and honey as the base and a lighter layer of sugarcane and crisp oak on top. Reminds me of a summery version of Miskatonic University.
-
Lemon, pine (but neither of those go to toilet cleaner, woohoo!) and booze - sparkly and bright and fizzy!
-
Soapy and aquatic, with a hint of those rubber sticky hands from the prize jar at the dentist's office.
-
The fiery, volatile scent of cinnamon, thickened by myrrh, honeysuckle, and copal. Plasticy holiday-candle cinnamon + honey, deepened by the resins. Creamy and spicy.
-
Mmmm... like Fuck This Heat but softened and uplifted by lime... feels high-class and cologne-y
