This is less gourmand than I expected, more of a perfumey (though not sharply so) scent. Wet, it's amber forward. The almond is almost sweet but is more dry, not the usual cherry almond at all. The incense smells kind of like frankincense to me? Or a Japanese incense maybe? It's a really nice, elegant incense note. I don't find the vanilla or honey to be very pronounced.

This is definitely in the same family as Katrina Van Tassel and From Whose Eyes As They Glance Flowed Love. It smells like sweet, velvety rose petals floating in vanilla, milk, and honey. I don't detect the benzoin or ambergris much until far into the dry down, which ends up being fairly faint so far. But the low throw on this makes it a great choice for when you want to smell pretty but not in-your-face about it.

Lush, pink, honeyed vanilla. Very lovely. I adore honey scents but have so many that I'm picky about the ones I add to my collection now, but Medley is certainly worth the addition. This makes me think of O meets Vasilissa, but the Bushman's Candle note is unique to my nose. To me, it smells like a dry amber incense, but there is a sweet, heady edge to it.

I was hoping for a sort of gritty, industrial rose from this, and that's exactly what it is! There's a very pretty, soft red rose here with a lot of depth from the realistic asphalt and gasoline notes. It dries down as weirdly wearable but doesn't last long on my skin at that stage. Still happy to have a bottle for the atmosphere, which is amazing. It smells like a rainy cyberpunk city.

I enjoy lilac scents but don't necessarily gravitate toward them often, but for some reason I'm really into Lady Reading Poetry. It starts off with a blast of lilac, which I thought meant this scent wouldn't be too different from Lilac Wood or Vase de Lilas. But this goes through some absolutely lovely (to me) phases that those other scents don't, IMO. After the lilac blast, I get the leather and ambergris (and frankincense?) giving that almost gasoline scent theseagrows mentioned; I've been really into this kind of smell lately, so this phase is wonderful to my nose. Then, hours and hours later, this perfume smells like a lace to me, elegant vanilla with a touch of florals and the pretty pink sandalwood. It's a morpher and has great staying power on my skin. I thought a decant would be enough, but had to get a bottle, in the end. 💗

Absolutely gorgeous! I have a feeling this one will be popular. Foremost to my nose is the heady vanilla husk note from scents like the Vanilla Husk, Hay Absolute, & Nutmeg trio and Cognac-Stained Sheet Ghost. The red sandalwood is smooth and the tobacco smoke is just this light tobacco haze, not acrid or woodsmoke-y at all. Glad I blind bought two bottles. This is fresh out of the mail and could change a bit, but so far this is exactly what I'd hoped for. ❤️

Jammy strawberry and golden pastry. Very straightforward and has great throw and longevity for a strawberry scent. It's quite sweet and a little goes a long way.

Fern, Red Clover, and Wild Lettuce
feyofthefellwood replied to Seajewel's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I like this more than I expected! It's fresh, light, and green. The clover and fern are sweet and soft, while the lettuce takes on a slightly bitter undertone that turns perfumey as the scent wears. A nice "freshly showered but I've also been frolicking in woodland meadows" sort of scent. 💚 -
This is so lovely. It opens with crisp green fir and mocha like coffee notes, then dries down into a smoked vanilla + cardamom situation. I definitely also find a similarity to Morocco on the dry down. It's that same soft incense/vanilla/spice scent. Christmas in Morocco, perhaps?

This is really addictive to me. I've recently fallen hard for Tombstone, but this one is different enough that I'm glad to have both. The rootbeer is the dominant note at first, and it somehow smells fizzy and candied, with minty and anise-y edges. The vanilla ice cream smells melted to me, very smooth. It's a deep vanilla that makes the overall scent feel "round" or even hollow (if that makes any sense whatsoever). I only detect a hint of cedar, though I think it's offsetting some of the sweetness. This is still a very sweet scent though and heavy on the rootbeer. Compared to Tombstone, it's sweeter, more minty, and less woody.

Smells just like the listed notes IMO! This reminds me of something that would be in a Lilith collection. The cotton candy is sugary and fluffy, the blueberry mint is fruity yet minty, and everything really pops together. Sweet, straightforward, and fun.

The same gorgeous sugar plum note from Sugar Plum Fairy and Sugar Plum Snow White (which has a candied almost Jolly Rancher vibe). I do detect some sweet lavender and marshmallow poofiness too!

These are my impressions fresh from the mail, so I'm sure the scent will stabilize or whatever, but I just had to write a review because this is so swoonworthy. It's the lovely Snow White snow I love so much softly drifting over sweet rose jam and a hint of pastry. So far it's not a bold scent or overly gourmand, just beautiful and fairytale-esque. Love at first sniff.

To me, this smells weirdly like cookies. Delicious, fresh baked cookies with a hint of smooth patchouli.

A very pretty jasmine perfume! The jasmine and peonies are forward, backed by sweet vanilla and hint of lavender. I really like this, though it's similar to a few other scents I already have bottles of (like I Sit and Sew, for example) . . . I will certainly at least keep my decant.
