I'm happy that I got a chance to try this via @RoseThornAndOak😁 this is advertised - a very nice white tea fougere.....which is all I get and the sweet hay and sandalwood. A bit of the lavender frankincense shows up after it gets a chance to warm up, and I guess I'm glad that the carnation isn't spicy like it typically is on me (I avoid it in most cases). This is a really pretty scent overall. Though does get a touch powdery, just a touch.

Soursop is super underrated, so I LOVE seeing it shine here!!! The honey is there, though subtle to my nose. It's lovely and cuts through the insane humidity here which is refreshing. Absolutely going to get a bottle of this before it goes away forever.
-
Clean and a touch salty, as advertised imo. It's almost a little too clean for my liking, like you just got out of the shower clean and maybe dusted yourself with the lightest powder. I love a good skin musk but this one just isn't for me. Skin must with honey dust? I am ALL OVER that one. this one isn't bad, wears well all day. I can understand the hype/love for it.

I had high hopes....and was sorely disappointed. Also like Mufasa, the spices were in the forefront and absolutely nothing else. This one does the very weird savory spice thing that Peach-Glazed Donut with Mango did, which btw we've determined it's cumin. Why did this become cumin. I am SO upset about this one because it could have been SO SO GOOD.
-
This is definitely more cardamom than blueberry for me, and I'm A-OK with that!! I don't know that I pick up on the chilled cream at any point, but this is yummy enough that I don't care too much lol. Good longevity too.

oooh this smells like an ultra decadent version of those chocolate oranges at first wet sniff from the bottle!! On weardown the tobacco comes out, and while I previously hadn't had great experiences with this now, it's very pleasant here and doesn't stomp on everything else. It's mostly tobacco and ebony, the dry cacao and orange come and go. As it continues to settle, it starts to get a little perfumey and somehow gives cleaner vibes... Not terrible but not what I want to be wearing. I'm glad to have had the chance to try this, even though it's not what I'd wear. Would have had a good wear time on me if I didn't go scrub it off.
-
Wet from the bottle - it's a blast of cypress and way more than a sprig of rosemary. I proceed with caution. Weardown: Ah, there are the lavender buds and a very heady bouquet. Not my jam and I can see this wearing very well even though I won't be wearing it that long. The rosemary didn't stick around and at least the cypress settled a bit. It does feel like a very somber bouquet.

lab frottle 2026! Not my jam (as a perfume)! very green and like splendidissima, Irish Spring-like and would be better for a bathroom spray or spa day. It lasted a bit longer on me than I'd have cared for (2-3 hrs).

Dark Chocolate, Black Fig, and Campfire Smoke Atmosphere Spray
Thuy replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Atmosphere
I want to love this one, but the campfire smoke takes over the blend...and I accidentally used it as a hair gloss the one day LOL. I get the bitter chocolate and smoke, and I don't know if I ever pick up on the black fig (I reeeeeeally want it)... Glad for a decant but unsure of if it'll....smooth itself out. -
This was a little intimidating from the bottle because there's a tang to it that makes me nervous (a tang that usually meant this could go sour on me), BUT thankfully the tang went away fast when applied! This is as advertised, candy strawberries and beeswax! Though the strawberries do lean a little wine-like at first (probably that opening tang). This ultimately dries down as a warm slightly sweetened beeswax and I'm very happy.
-
This is almost all incense on me and it makes me sad.... The glorious honeyed peach was only around for barely a hot minute and then it's like champaca incense like doomsday_disco noted. And that's it all day on me. Unfortunately gave me a headache so to the destash it goes... I'll go back to my spun sugar cherry incense now.
-
This is such a lovely bookish scent where the leather isn't super stompy... the leather here is soft, well-worn, and behaves quite well with the other notes. Great snuggly scent for a dreary day, that's for sure! I got a decant out of curiosity and so glad that I did! Everything is well blended imo. Not gonna lie, I wanted more beeswax but then this wouldn't be the book scent as advertised lol.
-
Not as sugared as I hoped for, but it's a nice light airy pink floral with some sweetness underneath it all. Not candy-like or cloying. I don't pick up on the vanilla? but ymmv.
-
Tart lemon cream opening but somehow doesn't scream foodie at you. An hour or so the cream fades off and it's just a golden warm amber musk for the rest of the short wear time of 4 hours total for me. To me it's cozy in the -wink wink nudge nudge- kind of way, or just exxxtra good cuddles lol.

I find SO flankers fun and absolutely had to know what this was about...and I'm a little disappointed? It's strong lavender and a hint of SO at first sniff, and in the weardown I was hoping for the cotton candy and honey to come through. This one reads as almost all lavender and some SO, the barest hint of rosewater in the background. I don't get the honey or cotton candy Oh, and the SO doesn't even stick around which I thought was strange. Is it me? Is it just this SO flanker??? No idea but I haven't cared enough for it to warrant keeping the bottle.
