If you want to walk around your usual places but be mentally in a beautiful, powerful old-growth forest then this is for you. This blend brings to mind a movie scene where a knight is walking through giant trees past a circle of large stones covered in moss in unnatural patterns with their sword vibrating their side. At least, it does for me. I know that's not exactly a helpful description, but there you go. This was a huge win for me as I am not at all familiar with any of these notes on their own as I typically do not buy them--that is going to change now for sure! A new favorite.

2025 version: Just the most perfect rose scent--the one of my dreams. Fresh from the verdant garden, and it keeps that almost juicy quality through its entire wear time (6-8 hours for me). I absolutely have to get a backup bottle...or 3 🌹

The description of this scent really just nails it. This, for me, is comfort in a bottle. Overall, this is a very “soft” and subtly sweet perfume. Wet on the skin the florals are delicate and creamy with the vanilla bourbon warming them just a touch. On dry-down, I’m left with the most comforting versions of leather, tonka and amber, while still being sweet and soft. Warm like a hug. I don’t know that I really got any of the cedar note. What surprised me most was the orris root—my skin tends to amp its powdery aspects, but in this blend, it never fully goes there, it just adds to that “soft” quality. I’ll be wearing this the next time I’m cuddling on the couch with someone for sure.

This is so nice. Two of my favorite scents melding together perfectly--this is everything I was hoping it would be! The apple is by far the star wet on the skin, as you would expect, but that beeswax sweetness is right there underneath, adding a warm balm to the apple's pink juiciness. Dried down the beeswax lingers. I may need to pick up a second bottle of this one!

This is such a warm, golden scent. Like, straight from the oven warm. Buttery, vanilla, sugary goodness. I bought this for a friend and I really wanted to take a bite of her arm when she put this on. I can see why this a favorite for so many people! If you or someone you love goes hard for gourmands, it really doesn't get better than this.

This smells like I opened a window in the morning after it snowed and the breeze was a tart citrus swirl glittering with icy crystals. Lovely. I bought this lotion purely for the yuzu note (I'm a chaser for sure), but I'm happy to say that I'm a fan of the slushy, minty notes as well. I have to agree with spendidissima that I don't really get the vanilla cream, but I'm wondering if that is what's keeping this in the crisp rather than sharp realm. Regardless, I like that it's not too sweet, but if that is something you want I imagine that there is plenty you could layer with this that would work wonderfully. On the lotion formula itself, I love that it doesn't leave me feeling greasy at all--it absorbs nicely. The scent lingered for about 3 hours for me with not a whole lot of transformation over time. Edit: Mine has the same misprint!

Wow, a very cozy and warm scent. That macadamia is front and center enveloped in a subtle dry smokiness that keeps it interesting. I’m not really getting the leather that others seem to, but I may just not be as familiar with it. After about a half hour on the skin is when that delectable beeswax starts to be the main player. It’s a good thing I don’t mind looking nuts (ha ha) constantly sniffing my wrist. If you like nutty gourmands that have just a touch of sweetness, then this may be a new favorite.

Wet: bright, bright fizzy blood orange. The fizz reads soapy on me, like I stepped into a bubble bath full of orange peels. Dry: the blood orange had evaporated and that’s when that yummy plum note took over. This one didn't last very long on me, but it was so lovely while it was there.

It is nothing short of magical how they were able to perfectly capture this passage as a scent. The blackened blackberry note is so special here. Like others have said, it comes out (as if it was creeping) after drying down, following that lovely wet, green grass and honeysuckle opening. Whatever it is that is blackening the berry gives it a jam-like almost resinous aspect to it. Just perfect. I have to appreciate this scent too because it made me discover that I am a f-r-e-a-k for grass. I received this as a decant (thank you Saeva^) and I’ll definitely be purchasing a full bottle of this one.

Hot Pink Hearse is pure candy. In fact, this smells like the flavor combo I always strived for at those Pucker Powder machines at amusement parks (Cedar Point anyone?). My go-to recipe for those giant Pixie Stix was lemonade, strawberry, grape and fruit punch (can't believe I remember that!) Now, the lasting power and throw on my skin is almost non-existent--about 15-20 minutes total before my skin eats her. However, I did get some on my sleeve and I'm still smelling it now at least 8 hours later. Received this as a decant and now I HAVE to get my hands on a full bottle. Love. Edit 11/26/2025: My bff came over yesterday and sniffed this and now I'm getting her a bottle too Love that I'm getting her a weenie scent as an xmas present lol

What a weird little guy. I don't have any scents even close to this one. Like most, that first whiff from the bottle is...wow. S-T-R-O-N-G! Whew that peppercorn & tomato rocked me for a minute! But this really is a scent that rewards you for the bravery of actually putting it on the skin. My experience is very similar to patina where it seems to shift from that oregano-forward pizza dough to something more sweet--I really agree that the beeswax scent is honeyed. Weird but good. If your curiosity is killing you, just go for it! Edit Nov 7, 2025: just adding that since I left this review I actually wear this scent very frequently--it really does wear excellently on the skin!

This one is quite the shifter! Fresh from the bottle the blackberry skin and rose are front and center but very quickly the other florals come out to play. After about 20 minutes it settled into this really nice, soft, kind-of inky(?) sweetness that is so subtle and just absolutely gorgeous. Decent throw too. The dust in the "dusty myrrh" note is definitely a soft, whispery type of dust, rather than a dry dust. If I was a chinchilla this is what I would want my dust bath to smell like! Update: After roughly an hour it turned to pure powder with that faintest memory of what it was. Very fitting!

This is a new favorite for me. From the bottle creamy-pink is right and something about the sweetness of it reminds me of my memories of the Pink Drink from Starbucks. On the skin for about the first hour I was mostly getting the juiciest green apple wafting up to me with that touch of light floral. After the first hour and beyond, it smelled exactly how it did in the bottle. I'm in love.

Red Musk, Sugared Amber, and Red Berries
AnOfferingToTheNight replied to Silvertree's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
It really is fascinating how a persons skin chemistry can interact with these scents. On me, this scent is almost all berries all the time with a very light musk finish. On my best friend however, the berries are definitely the first scent but that sugariness and musk comes out much sooner. Smells great on both of us though. Highly recommend.
