    Svarta Fönix Bókaflóð

    I wore this in my (new to me!) Clocket, plus on my skin. It's a really lovely, warm, very close-to-the-skin scent. On my arms it lasted all day, but very faintly. In the locket it was stronger, but not much. The actual scent is like sitting in a sun-warmed library (a nice old one) while a sun-warmed kitty sits in your lap or nearby on a windowsill while you read a well-loved book. It's that evocative. To try and describe...there's a light charred fire smokiness and something almost like paper, plus a faint perfume that brings the cat fur to mind, and then a subtle spice that I assume is the chai. I actually love that it's such a gentle scent since some days I'm just not in the mood to rock out with a strong scent. This one is lovely and comforting.

    Pumpkin Spice Sanguinem Menstruum

    I love this. Like, a lot. I also have no idea how to properly describe it. It's definitely Pumpkin, and definitely musk, and then there's some notes of...honeysuckle? That's what I'm getting. And also a slight metallic note which must be the "blood musk". It all blends together beautifully. The spice aspect is light. Also, if you liked this season's Pumpkin Musk and Black Oudh (I love it), then you definitely need to track down a decant or bottle of this, because it almost feels like a companion scent.

    Zoe and the Goat

    I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Definitely a backup bottle scent. When I first received it from the Lab, I was actually really unsure because it smelled like pure cigarette smoke to my nose. I let it sit for a week and upon re-sniff it had settled some and I could detect the patchouli. And then I tested it and OMG. It's incredible. It goes on with a sweet honey/tobacco/patchouli blast, and that combo is just heavenly on me. As it dries down, the honey and patchouli stay at the forefront in a really beautiful way. It also has solid lasting power. I just love it. It's one of those "I keep sniffing where I put it" scents because I love it so much. I will say this to help give an impression of the scent as well: it reminds me a little of a non-allergy-causing, non-headache-inducing, way-more-elegant-version of the original Mugler Angel perfume. (I loved that stuff back in the day, but as with all commercial perfumes, I eventually over sensitize to them and they trigger allergies. Which is why I love BPAL...they do not!) As a bonus, much later in the day as Zoe and the Goat had faded I put a little SN French Tobacco over it. SO GOOD.

    Happy and Dauntless and Sagacious

    On me this goes on as a very soft Raspberry note. I'm not getting a ton of goats' milk, and the whole scent's starting to fade after only a few hours. I'll probably let this age a bit to see if it changes at all. It's nice and gentle and totally inoffensive.

    King Cake

    OMG. Not much else to say other than it's incredible. It's literally a King Cake in a bottle. It smells just like that on application, and fades as the hour pass, leaving a lovely pancake-y scent behind. Love love love. This is a new favorite.

    Mat Night

    Wow, this is gorgeous and fascinating, like art on the skin almost. When I first applied it I got a strong piney note, sort of like a Christmas tree forest in the cold air. A little under an hour in and this delicious strong burnt smoke arose and it mixed with the pine. It’s soooo good. Many hours later and it’s faded to a slightly smoky remnant, with an incense-y undertone. I love it. I didn’t expect to either because in the bottle it smells like strong pine mostly and that can go either way on me.

    Stimulating Sassafras Strengthener

    Holy moley, I got this in an imp from someone recently and tried it this morning on a whim. It’s gorgeous! On me I get a strong creamy vanilla mixed with, yes, a soft root beer note, but not too sweet or anything. I don’t know what Sassafras smells like, so that must be the note I can’t place, but I like it. It’s light and not too overpowering.

    Mémoire

    This is delicious. When first applied it smells like a very nice, not-cloying apples and cinnamon. As it dries down, it's like a nice Apple Pie with some graham cracker notes. Love it and glad I bought it - it's going to be a fantastic Thanksgiving/holiday scent.
