    in search of cherry slushie perfume...

    Reminds me of Blood Squib or maybe even the GC Black Phoenix? I get massive cherry slushie vibes from both of those!

    Baby’s First Chainsaw

    Agreed with Frills - on drydown, this smells exactly like the moment you open a package of Chips Ahoy cookies!! Both the plastic package and the cookies together in one scent! 😹

    For the Love of God, Poetricia

    I loooove this, so much more than I expected! Juicy, red berries (currants, cherry, strawberry, raspberry all blended together) ~ sweet but not sugary, and not achingly sweet...just right! I think the benzoin adds some resiny-almost-vanilla-y backbone - not getting any sherry from it....but it might just be blending in with the berries. I'm not mad about it, that was the one note I was hesitant about. I can see this fitting perfectly in all seasons, honestly. Except maybe not 90+ summer days...maybe then it'd be too much. But a LOVELY winter and probably fabulous fall and spring scent. Getting a backup bottle with my next purchase, it's a huge hit for me! 😻❤️😻

    Silky Bat

    From the 2021 Bloodmilk restock: Sweet spun sugar dragged through sweet, ethereal patchouli. Not a dirty, earthy patch at all. I don't detect any lemon or chocolate notes. This sugar note is calm, not of the screechy variety. It's not harsh, and it's somewhat linear (not in a bad way). It's exactly what the scent notes promises! Nice throw, nice wear. Makes me feel like a goth princess! 😈🖤💕

    Please Scream Inside Your Haunted House

    Wowza. This was the surprise, runaway hit of the Weenie collection. Wet: Dry cinnamon and sawdust. Smells like Penzey's Vietnamese Cinnamon, if you've ever tried it. Delicious, and I'm not even that big of a cinnamon fan! Dry: The cinnamon calms down and becomes more balanced baking spices, with the cedar and sawdust that almost smells like the wood from a home under construction, before the drywall goes up. This is also the closest I get to smelling funnel cake from any of the PSIYH blends - the rest smell like straight up churros to me, but THIS one... It's amazing. I love it! Backup bottling this one.

    In Night When Colors All to Black Are Cast

    Oh I just love this. Deep, resiny, thick. Don't detect any plum honey, and honey usually amps on my skin. A dark sweetness, but I think the musk keeps it from going too sweet. Not at all powdery or sickly sweet. Fabulous! 🖤💜💙💜🖤

    It Was Just a Cat

    I love, love, love this perfume. I get a comforting spicy, resiny mix; super cozy and lovely. No powder or strong musk detected on my skin. The name is PERFECT for this blend and its position in the Haunted House collection, it is just so evocative for me. It's like when it's nighttime, all the lights are off. You're already spooked and you hear a terrifying sound from the other room... your heart pounds and you hold your breath as you round the corner and peer into the darkness to see what made that crashing sound... and your cat jumps off the counter and meows at you. That sigh of relief and the comforting thought that "thank goodness...it was just the cat" LOL. This scent captures that moment of relief and comfort exactly!!!!!

    What should I try next?: An inevitable thread

    Based on your love of Cheshire Cat, maybe these more citrus-leaning scents might be worth imping: Aelopile Glowing amber and citrus, labdanum, verbena, cedar, and oud Night-Gaunt Their scent of their slick, rubbery hides is bittersweet, ticklish, and skin-creeping: something akin to yuzu, white grapefruit, and kumquat mixed with the snow-dusted flowers of Mount Ngranek Baobhan Sith Grapefruit, white tea, apple blossom and ginger (this one was soooo grapefruit-forward for me, but if you enjoy the grapefruit from Cheshire Cat, perhaps it's worth a try!)
