a aged, whisper-thin white gossamer floats ephemerally around the dark haired woman. her pale dress, billowing from her gaunt frame and creating the impression of ghostliness, is stained near the collar- splatters of reddish-purple. …..fruit juice? something… else? she extends her pale hand, the dead petals of a pink rose resting so delicately in her palm, and they begin to… almost glow. transform… blossom, into a bouquet of the most enchantingly sweet blooms you’ve ever had the pleasure of smelling. WOW, I’m impressed. The throw of this is VAST and the length of wear i got was shocking considering A ) straight out of the mail, B ) the delicate, feminine, airy quality of this perfume should make it one that disappates quickly- not so, my friends. This one is really special. So is Mircalla.

Well, uh, this perfume has most certainly nailed the “secretions” part!! At risk of being… vulgar…. but this smells like an idealized version of worn underwear. the fantasy of it

clean, sweet, spicy floral. i love it, the sandalwood is smooth and expensive and the florals/ambers/spices (cassia??) lend it a sweet quality. will be bottling soon enough, i can see myself highly relying on this day to day during summer and for bed

gentle creamy florals over a waxen base. @Moonbell's association of wax and church candles if they were sensual is very spot on. the sandalwood takes it in sort of a sexy skin-scent direction. there's not much smokiness to me, and I don't pick up much cinnamon. Overall, something about it is too womanly for me, like the perfume is wearing me more than I'm wearing it.

you know the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer comes up with an idea for perfume that smells like you just came from the beach? that's this. Seconding the 90's aquatic musky/mossy vibe. This is something you'd bust out more during the summer than winter!!

+1 for gnnnfghhh. the smell of an immortal vampiresses thousand-year-long sexual frustration. clove heavy, a little orange-y as biocarbons said. wow.

oh uhm weirdly i recommend melancholy of goths, and then this one from weenies 2022 called “Autumn 1990”. the imp of it i smelled was very, very special. clove cigarettes and hairspray and teeth rattling cold. i am eyes peeled for a bottle too.

congealed blood/ oozing viscera gave me such a nasty reaction i actually never reviewed it here. i had actually nothing nice to say about it at the time. i came to appreciate it, but it is so, so gnarly. i don’t touch that decant often but sometimes i rly need a rush of being grossed out and i open it. i always regret it a little.

guys. snake oil creeps up on you. it really, truly is slithery. I love snake oil in “Gingerbread Snek” and the snake oil + amber combo and roses of snake in the roses. i’m highly interested in other snakes. anyway here’s some reviews of different snake oil years that i’ve tracked down in about a year or so and spent silly amounts of money on: NOTE: Important things to consider: i am very biased towards snake oil. i find it to be a masterpiece. it works well with my skin chem, and i find it so pleasing and sexy. ON TO THE REVIEW COMPILATION! ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ snake oil 2004: warm, rich, golden threads of vanilla pod. kind of papery incense with a touch of powder and musk i think. my 2 imps are both half used (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾ snake oil 2006: musky sugary warm incense vanilla extract explosion. “icecream?? mmm vanilla.” commentary from lovely girlfriend. I got 2 comments on my college campus while wearing this! love bpal. more papery, sweet hazy incense !!! It’s so sweet and sexy and soft and kind of… doe-like. The vanilla really makes it pull “who, me?” cute devilish vibes. I have an adorable lil half bottle. snake oil 2007: this one was like actually impossible to find. I have 3/4 a bottle and 4 imps. if anyone has any PLEASE oh my gooooddd. I got sooo much positive attention recently at an event with lots of dancing and body heat. I find that body heat actually increases village/projection/longevity. this one is heavenly w/ my skin chem. man this had me wanting to snack on myself. Beth is a master perfumer. anyway: soft skin musk. slightly buttery vanillas, worn in and velvety smoky, incensey/ woodsy, patchouli. there’s layers there though- incense-y patchouli but also a soft textural incense nearby. The vanilla is kind of sugary and warm and buttery? it smells like the vanilla suspension gel/paste my mom has to use in her gourmet baking. this is truly, truly a masterpiece of perfume. snake oil 2009: mmm sugared patchouli, heavy musky VANILLA vampire. i love this one i’ve used like ahahahha half a bottle? i have 2 its fine. heavy on the patchouli on this one not rly the incense kind just like. patch wow. i also maybe get some myrrh and cinnamon. this is a lovely change of pace, overall i rly like it. Snake Oil (????) I actually have no clue what year this is and it actually could be from about 7 different years: powdery!! baby oillll. it reminds me of “Guerlain” Shalimar which i have a bottle of and i layer the two. it’s a powdery, sweet, incensey after-shower scent. It’s kind of “shimmery”??? it’s so powdery/baby oil/ girly it reminds me of those sweet cylindrical cardboard containers with glittery/sparkly baby powder residing within and a cute fluffy puff with which to dust this cute little fairy dust upon yourself. I appreciate this one. It’s cute and girly. i’m not really fussed about figuring out the year again or getting a full bottle -i only have a slonk size of this because it was decanted. Snake oil 2014: generally, i like my ‘fumes to rest a whole 6 months before review. i LOVE to rest them a year. i think this got to me liiike 4-6 months agoo… yeah. idk i cld look at my emails but i’m lazy. anyway. i said that to beseech you: take my reviews with a pinch of salt. so. this snake, it’s a tad incensey? not the same kind of uhhh. golden papery incense of vanilla heaven. warm, hazy, relaxed, pretty Snake Oil 2023: It’s sweet. So so sweet. Creeping tendrils of potential incense notes peak shyly out from beneath sweet vanilla bean covers. I wear this often enough justify buying two bottles of it at some point soon. must stalk the second hand market. i am halfway down on an imp which is relatively rare.

i liked this a lot, but i forgot to review it because i had a lot of life stuff and i sold it, but i (saw previous review, got inspired, waited for next shower lol) have been sniffing and using my moms which has been rested a year, and this is… a syrupy, thick, molasses-y, spicy warm sexy smell, haha! it’s pretty but extremely gourmand and foody and spice heavy. And it’s… red-musky?? heady, slutty a little. to quote the mother “not something i wear at the office”. I actually hahahahah. wear it everywhere. I am a snake oil fiend honestly ??

addendum to my prior review. a year on and this perfume is so, so special. i’m legitimately sad that it didn’t come back with this year’s weenies. it’s all candy corn and chilly air and crisp white cotton, i love it so much. I feel like a plastic ghost in 2001 on the porch of a spooky woman and the candy filling the bowl i hold is candy corn packets. i’m a little candy corn witch wearing a candy corn cape and skirt, with a candy corn cap and a crisp, white, vanilla cotton button up. this scent is cute and fun and so unique and i adore it.

Holy shit, is this what chanel no. 5 made marilyn monroe feel like? I feel luxurious. I feel divine? Something so floral couldn’t be this incensey…there’s something so incredibly green about this… fresh and dead roses together almost? probably the combo of the damask roses and rosewater. something musky and skin-scenty (perhaps the honey and florals together?) it’s womanly. girly. i feel like a sacrificial lamb. i feel anointed. sacred. i need to watch this movie and kiss my partner 60 million times for buying me ava and eve.

Ultimate pretty-girl perfume. Really something special, the blend of florals, something a little vanillic or musky, definitely get the flowerbomb references. it smells a bit like department store perfume but there’s something more…. special about it? i feel girly and kind of princessy but also confident in it. love it !

tbh, could swap away most of my collection to wear just this for the rest of time. i adore jareth- he’s a sexy gleaming tan leather jacket worn by a tall stranger with long hair. Said stranger wears a lot of very expensive musky cologne, and keeps themselves very groomed. It’s also something i wear to sleep in, and it’s so comforting and relaxing at night. Jareth serves two roles for me, and i love him for it.

This is sexy slinky deep purple incense, smoking near silks and laces, while an elegant victorian woman bathes herself in the casting light of a flickering candle. Her perfume is what I assume the ambre noir is, a kind of skin-warmed musk?? The black velvet patch almost has a “crushed” quality to it. It gives the perfume an overall complexity, when combined with the musk. This is grown up and sexy, though this does not smell like snake oil, it is my snake oil. I wear this to smell sexy and dark. edit: its not overly sweet, but it is definitely flirtatiously sweet.
