    The Black Tower

    Got an imp of this one recently and was honestly a bit afraid to try it 😂 It's been on my wishlist but OOB it smelled so strongly of grape juice that I was really wary, especially because I'm not a fan of overly sweet fragrances. But on skin, I was pleasantly surprised! It mellowed a lot and I got some of the richer, more mysterious notes. It definitely isn't as masculine as I was expecting but it's very well-balanced both wet and dry on my skin. Not sure if I'll end up splurging on a full size or not, but I'll definitely enjoy the imp while it lasts!
  2. Absolutely adore this one!! Very simple, straightforward, and comforting scent. The vanilla is beautiful and not overly heavy, gourmand, or cloyingly sweet—just a really lovely warm, balanced addition to the gentle sandalwood. Definitely going to become a go-to for me! Perfect for more subdued settings or when I don't want to wear anything overpowering or particularly exotic.

    The Disciples

    Thought I'd adore this one but it unfortunately didn't work for me! It's a whole lot sweeter than I anticipated—very syrupy-floral in a way that turns cloying on my skin. Out of bottle, I do enjoy the scent, though it's still a touch sweeter than I'd normally prefer. On my skin, though, it pulls more toward a mass-market sweet floral perfume. I had a hard time picking out much more beyond simple-syrup-drenched rose petals.

    Sunyashniki

    This scent isn't quite what I was expecting, but I'm enjoying it nevertheless! It's a nice fresh floral to my nose—the amber is a nice brightening touch but pretty subtle to my nose. Definitely reminds me of sticking my nose in a sunflower! It does fade pretty quickly on my skin, though—like a brief flash of sunshine.
  5. I got less vanilla and patchouli from this than I was hoping—the amber shines pretty strong to my nose—but it's still a lovely scent! Been having some bad luck with ambers recently, but I'm enjoying it in this one. It's mellowed by the skin musk and is a nice rounded but bright scent on my skin.

    The Grey Columns

    Absolutely love this one! Like some of the other commenters have said, I can't really pick out the smoke. That being said, I definitely have no problem smelling it! Sticks well on my skin and has good throw. It's a very heavy, warm scent on my skin. The grey amber absolutely shines, and I get a lot of vanillin (without pulling too sweet) both from the bottle and on my skin.

    Definitely loving this one! I've been wearing it recently as a sleep scent. It's a very lovely, soft, powdery floral to my nose. Very simple and gently floral!
