Cumin!! With a backdrop of black musk and chocolate. I love cumin so I'm very pleased!!
-
A dark, deeply sexual blanket of black musk, voluptuous rose and blackcurrant. Absolutely gorgeous, very 'womanly' imo- this is perfume for a confident, sensual woman over the age of 40, ehich suits the vampiric theme! Really lovely, the perfect antithesis to Millarca.

On me, this is a sweet, almost honeyed vanillic rose. The sweetness is not overpowering at all, it just elevates the fresh pink rose to a place of perfection. The blackcurrant doesnt speak out to me, it just supports the other notes.This is girlish and innocent, in a way that reminds me of my grandmother. I'm obsessed to say the least.

Really lovely!! Very hay-forward on me, it's the same cozy and beautiful hay note that was in A Sheepfold, Moonlight. The spiced ale is just a warm , kinda appley spiced background. On my skin, it's s all about the hay which I'm not mad about.

So green! So rose! So delightful, fresh and fun! This is lots of green leafy goodness (reminds me of frog moon!) With a fresh young, pretty dewy rose. Smells like you just stepped out of your shower where the water is wet, still stem-sticky perfect pink rose petals and their pale green leaves. You must like rose! And you must like green! And if you like both, you will be delighted, as I am. Wearing this I feel like a water nymph a la Waterhouse, stepping out of a spring while draped in silks.

This one was a surprise love for me. Unfortunately the burnt coffee is not as prominent as I would like it to be on me, but I'm very pleased with it as is. It's all apple gummies and yummy sweet butterscotch with a little je ne sais quoi from the coffee beans in the back- there's not much to say about it that the description hasn't already said, but if it sounds good to you, you can't go wrong imo. This one is so much fun!!

This is a different sort of cherry than I'm used to from the lab. I agree with the other reviews saying there's a soapy, ozoney quality to it- it's a soft sort of cherry, not the slap-you-in-the-face-and-then-dissapear cherry that I usually encounter. It sticks around longer, quietly, calmly, with its gentle amber-backed embrace. On my skin, it smells pretty much exactly like that gas station bathroom cherry hand soap- and I love that stuff. I'm surprised by how much I enjoy this one!
-
Less 'heavy' than the notes would suggest! I get a syrupy fruity winey dark red rose- really romantic actually!
-
A strawberry patch in a bottle!! Wet its dirt-forward backed by a sweet strawberry, a la strawberry moon- the dirt isn't too damp, it's a drier summer dirt imo. After it settles the strawberry is the main focus, backed by the dry dirt and a hint of green. Really really lovely and summery, reminds me a lot of picking strawberries as a child!

Echoing that this one's terribly sexy- a rich, spicy myrrh. Hot, deep, resinous and above all *red* this is a sexy vampire scent to me tbh, would go quite well with heavy velvet attire, a long fur coat, to be worn in dim lighting for sure- I'm in love!! Wouldn't be surprised if there's a hit of cinnamon, maybe cloves or allspice? In here it's not only hot but deliciously *spiced*
-
Initially the lavender is most prominent, and as it settles the currant gives it a gentle fruity edge and the lilac bevomes stronger than the lavender- overall it's a lovely soft purple scent. You must like lavender but it isn't sharp or overpowering at all here. Very comforting to me.
-
Yummy smooth butterscotch with a gentle undercurrent of weed. Def more about the butterscotch, which I'm happy with! I love butterscotch hard candies and this is very satisfying.
-
This one is soooo good. It smells like those tiny cinnamon donuts they have at apple orchards!! Brings back so many memories for me. The weed is smoky but not stanky or overpowering- it compliments the spiced sugary donut-ness of it all. Has good throw and staying power on me, once settled none of the notes overpowers the other. Its the donut first, then the weed and im happy about that. Can't get over how delicious this one is tbh, I wanna bathe in this.

This has been getting a lot of wear from me in the last couple months. There's something so delightful about the elderflower seltzer! It's delicate, effervescent and so inviting- makes me think of a fairy garden celebration in the spring. Very much toes the line of maybe-i-can-consume-this and actually-no-thats-a-flower type of scents, you know? The cherry is definitely more present in the beginning but there's a definite cherryish undertone underneath the drydown even hours later. And the elderflower seltzer part sticks around for a long time! I still smell it on myself 8 or so hours later. All in all it's a real stunner, gorgeous, bright and soft at the same time, a bit coy and flirty almost. It smells like how I think a nymph would smell like!

Warm, earthy (but not really dirty?) and mysterious. It doesn't smell like fabric but it smells like someone attractive's jacket- it's all in a haze of smoke (and sex I daresay). I don't really know what some of these notes smell like individually, and this is quite well blended. Cozy and dark although there's a touch of brightness to it for sure- it doesn't feel weighed down at all by that sexy nicotine. Edit: coming back to say now that it's settled there's something in here that reminds me of Yorick (one of my fave gcs so I'm not mad at alll)
