This is weird!!! It’s like a minty lemon creme bleu cheese. I’m not sure why I’m getting the bleu cheese note but I am. Now don’t get me wrong - I like this! But it’s definitely - as the reviewer above called it - absurd! I’ll be interested to see how this is in a few weeks. 

Smoky band-aids on a cold winter’s day. This sort of thing is my jam so I will likely upgrade to a full bottle. If you love the Lab’s smoky stuff this is a must-try. 

This could easily be called “Please Scream Inside Your Gingerbread House” and I am HERE for it. Ughhhhhh it’s so good. It’s fried Gingerbread. It’s simple, comforting and delicious. 

Me upon opening the decant: why the heck didn’t I just blind bottle this? Me checking the notes: oh right Saffron can go either way for me. Luckily here it’s blending well. This is a gorgeous, delicious blend of warm gingerbread, clove, and pecan. There’s also a subtle hint of holiday spices reminiscent of Mincemeat Pie. This is gorgeous and 100% will be a full bottle upgrade. 

A nice light lemon, maybe a teeny bit of vodka? It’s not too sugary, not too cologne-y either. I don’t get much Gingerbread but I really love the lemon notes I’m getting. May upgrade to a bottle; I think this will actually be an amazing summer scent. 

I love this. It is equal parts a gentle

cologne, gingerbread, and whatever gives Ghost Milk the non-milk notes (the vanilla cashmere, I think?) None of the named notes dominate, the cologne-ness isn’t TOO much, and the gingerbread gives it a warm holiday feel. I have worn it two days in a row now because I love it. It’s like a sophisticated, non-foodie Christmas perfume. 

This smells like a Christmas spiced cheesecake. So good!!!

Ok wow so I almost skipped this because I was nervous about the “acid” part, but I finally bought a partial and it is divine. I get the lab’s delicious Butterscotch note combined with a slight booze (not heavy) and a spiced Cardamom. I love it and am so glad I didn’t miss this one!

Sometimes sandalwood and my skin don’t mix, but this one is lovely. The amber and sandalwood are light, beautiful, warm, comforting, and there’s a slight “smoky” quality about it. Maybe smoke isn’t the right word…but like, a slightly resin-y scent, almost like those little rosin bags you use to powder your hands when bowling. I got a decant of this and will upgrade to a bottle. 

Oh yum I love this! At first it’s a blast of coconut lavender hazelnut. After an hour the sandalwood peeks out and blends in. It’s an elegant foodie scent. 

This is an extremely elegant scent, all of the notes are present and very well-blended. No one note dominates over the other on me. This smells like a super high-end cologne. I like it a lot and may consider a full size bottle to share with my spouse. 

At first this was all fresh-cut bell pepper and a little bit of cologne. Now it’s settling and I am finding it the most compellingly strange blend and I mean that as a compliment. There’s still bell peppers and some crunchy leaves out of the gate, but also a lot of fizzy champagne. As it dries down the champagne comes out more. I love the lab’s champagne note so that’s a win for me. This blend is totally weird and I love it.

Normally I blind bottle foodie scents, but the cotton note gave me a little bit of pause and I opted for a decant of this. Turns out I need not have worried because this is delicious comforting foodie heaven. It smells like warm cookie dough with the faintest hint of something that could be described as cotton and vanilla. This is a full bottle upgrade for sure. 

Gorgeous! It’s all the familiar snake goodness with coffee and (to my nose) Tootsie Roll chocolate.

Red Musk, non-sweet pumpkin, and some kind of gorgeous light floral all rolled into one. It’s stunning. I can only imagine how nicely it will deepen with age!

OK, on me this is all Gummy Bear and pretty close to the skin. I’m not detecting any of the other notes yet. It reminds me of the same note in Sour Gummi Snake Oil only minus the SO. If you enjoy that note that I think you will love this. 

I am also testing this today despite receiving it only a few days ago. So far I’ve got mainly a blast of “baked strawberry” if I had to put my finger on it. There’s something bread like in the mix, and delicious jam. In many ways this is what I always want the Sufganiyots to be. (If you like those, you need to try this!) I agree with the above that it’s a cheerful scent. I suspect it will only get better as it settles!

Do you like PSL? Do you like the way a PSL smells but don’t necessarily drink them? (That’s me!) This is the scent for you. It’s pretty straightforward, like sticking your nose into a fresh hot cup of PSL. It’s yummy. It lasts a few hours and then fades, so fear not on overpowering anyone with this. I love it. 

This is amazing! I couldn’t wait to try even though it arrived yesterday. It’s a vanilla-honey-cream when first applied but immediately a note of early fall campfire appears. The scorched marshmallow becomes stronger as it dries and I assume the “sticks” are contributing to the overall campfire feel. After a few hours I’m left with scorched vanilla marshmallow. I love it. 

I did not expect to love this since I usually don't like overwhelmingly floral scents, but I got an empty of this from a lovely seller and fell in love. Have since full-bottled it. It's such a sweet, creamy, delicate scent. As others have said, not powdery at all. Just a gentle delicate creamy flower. Absolutely gorgeous!

I'm totally unfamiliar with Psionicist, but I absolutely love this Snake! It's crisp, summery, and just the right amount of Snake sweetening the chill of the mints and adding a layer of sugary vanilla (but not too much!) Truly what others have said - this is the perfect summer Snake.

This arrived yesterday and I’m already in love. Do you like Amber? Do you like sugars that aren’t overly sweet? Then you need this. It’s a heavenly rich Amber (almost Lace-like) sweetened but not overpowered by the sugar cane. It reminds me of Amber & Lace or Amber & Cardamom; almost a companion piece to them. I absolutely love this. 

I received this as a PIF from an absolutely lovely BPALer. I am loving it! On my skin it smells like smouldering catnip incense. It's not overpowering and I own nothing else like it, which is a treat! 

Wet, it's beautiful fresh cut lilacs and grass with a light undertone of sandalwood. As it dries it fades to a really nice cedar/floral blend. I don't detect any cardamom. It's very soft and has low throw. 

My decant is full of specks and sludge and I love that! This is a smoky, dirty cacao. Both simple and elegant. I had a feeling I'd love this but I did a decant just to be sure. Now I am sure.
