I never reviewed this?!? Well, perhaps it is for the best, because when I first tried it I would not say it was a love. Perhaps I didn't need it yet. The part of me that would grow to enjoy this scent was not yet created. However, one of my students passed last school year, and I found myself using this scent everyday. I hate to even bring that up, but it is what led me to this scent. It is very grounding, and feels protective. I wish I could buy multiple bottles as this is the scent that has given me a lot of comfort. After the imps have sat, since 2024?, I get much more sage. There is a pleasant camphorous minty quality to the sage. I do think I have come to crave camphorous notes. There is also a herbal lavender that wraps around the sage note. The honeyed patchouli is like a soft pelt, warm and comforting. It feels like someone very kind sitting with you quietly.

Milk Moon: Pumpkin Spice & Condensed Milk
amoray replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Oh it starts off sooooo sweet. That condensed milk note is sweet, but it works for me. Sometimes milk notes go very wrong on me. It smells like a deodorant I have that is pumpkin spice. It's very creamy and sweet. As it dries it turns into something similar to pumpkin spice everything, but it isn't dry like spices. It's like you took the dredges of a sweet PSL with all the delicious syrup and poured it on your arm. It's spicy but never dry spicy, a sweet pleasant spice. I will be layering this with everything come fall. -
The drydown of this is like a soft purr. Something in this is reminding me of a scent I've smelled before but can't quite put my finger on. I think there is something, lightly, just a wee, reminding me of Owl Moon. It's like a creamy version, but there is definitely a tinge of funk. I quite love it.

Totally goblin tested right outta the mail and OMG nom nom nom this is a sweet gorgeous Nag Champa. I'm not getting a ton of cookie dough, but it makes the whole blend a bit sweet and cozy. LOVE THIS. If you like Nag Champa and like gourmand leaning scents this is the one. Edit to update: The dry down is even more spectacular. I am almost certain (gonna have to test) that this is the cookie dough from Pandemic Vanitas! This is back up worthy. I don't think one bottle will be enough.

It's November 2019. A year before Biden is elected and you hear Harry Styles singling "watermelon sugar hiiiiiiiigh". It will become the song of the summer. You smell like watermelon sugar and it seems like things might just be ok. They aren't. Yet, one day, 6 years later, you get a whiff of watermelon sugar and are hit with a wave of sad longing for the endless days of the watermelon summers of the pandemic. Somehow the dread was less and more then.

This is a sour, funky honey blend. I think it has a bit of a russet patchouli happening. It went too far into funky town for me.

Oh it is lemony. The beeswax was very nice, but it then goes very lemon...lemony frankincense? It seems to end up as a warm beeswax with incense. I don't mind the drydown, but that citrus lemon phase smells like furniture polish.

I got a sample of this in my last order. I've never tried it which is a shame. This is just floaty vanilla goodness. I have no idea where the slightly powdery clean smelling vanilla ends and the sweet pea begins. Does the sweet pea give the vanilla that slightly laundry detergent smell? But it's barely, like a good blanket that you breathe in after taking out of the dryer. I don't get much sandalwood, but it's a very white linens type scent to me so it is definitely white sandalwood. This is a comforting lovely scent that is perfect for spring. So sweet and cute.

Oh this is gooooood stuff. The dragon's blood is gorgeous mixed with a herbal lavender fir. It does have a bit of smoky incense at the back of the scent. LOVE. It really could be a sleep scent. I'm so glad I got a bottle of this.

Sultry peachy gorgeousness. I think I like the red musk in this even more than Heartshow! This is a stunning juicy peach note that is held up by some raunchy red musk. I don't really get a lot of black musk/patchouli or any of the other notes. Perhaps they are just solid supporting players. Definitely a favorite.

2025 version I've also tried the hair gloss. Wow wow wow the throw on this is VAST. One tiny little drop and I smell a mile away. And my god I smell like creamed honey. I think I get a bit more vanilla than I get in the hair gloss. There is also the smoked aspect in the background. I don't get any pumpkin. This might be one of the strongest scents I have. I do really well with the lab's honey notes though so this gonna get some wear.

Yes, this has a lot of moonflower, iris and musk as @theseagrowsstated. It is a bit floral for my tastes. However, something absolutely stunning happened. I went to wash it off and only the top notes came off...and what remained...was Zorya P. I kid you not. I sniffed my arm and was astounded. I was ready to sell this one off as I am not much into florals these days, but it may need to sit and stew in my resting box to see if some of those deeper notes blossom over time. I think the honeyed beeswax may be reading as Amber? This was quite a journey.

Oh yes this is the lavender of coconut lavender cream pie free imp!!!! And it’s foodie and gorgeous. Off to layer this with Cat Sleeping on an Armchair and see how closely I can recreate that imp. Soooo glad I ordered this.

Beaver Moon: Lime Blossom & Amber Sugar
amoray replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
The dry down is swoonworthy. I get a very key lime pie scent, with a little bit of back and forth between the amber and lime blossom when wet. However, the dry down is candied lime. The sugar in the Amber sugar really comes out. I'm also going to have to try layering this with Syrnk for a lemon lime cheesecake! This is truly gorgeous as almost everyone else has said. It's hype. -
This is a bit of a skin fail for me. It smells a bit sharp and powdery on me. I don't think tea scents work well on me and it makes me sad 😭 I wanted to smell the amazing floofy filling.
