Oh i would LOVE to participate in a swap!! I’ve never done one before so i may need a little extra explaining-to (but at least i can guarantee i’ll ship my part out ) but if the switchwitch swap ever gets up and running again count me in! 

stand on the beach and watch a huge storm roll in. remember how tiny you are in comparison to the universe and draw your cardigan closer to your skin, feel the hair on your neck stand on end. lightning on the horizon leaves spots in your vision. that’s the smell of this hair gloss- weirdly beachy (i think perhaps it’s the aquatics) and it really smells exactly like watching a storm roll in on the beach- something most Floridians have probably experienced. i gotta get a whole bottle of this stuff because it’s absolutely fantastic. 

Czernobog is the smell of rot. It’s a headless deer decaying in the forest. You slink behind a large pine tree and poke your head around the other side- just to watch the deer stand up and prance away. This is seriously pine-y upon the opening, and the musks come together just to remind me of rot and decay. It smells of death to me, something sick and twisted. 

Hmmm. Hollywood babylon's mother. Lots of cherry and blackcurrant on me, the wood is kind of lurking sinisterly in the background. 

 Man oh man oh man. I was expecting this to be my new favorite and signature scent and i was RIGHT. This is one of the sexiest things i’ve ever smelled- an initial warm hug of lemony tea and vanilla on skin, sweet and delicate, then it just blooms into a sugared musk with a tiny bit of… lavender? pine? something inviting and masculine. All of the elements are so perfectly balanced, and the vanilla tea aspect is subdued enough upon dry down that anyone of any gender or non-gender could pull this off easily. This scent makes my ovaries explode. It’s like lingerie hidden under a soft cashmere sweater. Edit to add: I think if a man were to wear this I would go feral. 

Ok i love this one so so terribly much. This might sound weird but it smells of that (horribly misogynistic) song Crazy Bitch by Buckcherry from the 2000’s. It’s very sweet and fruity- I love the lab’s red musk note. It plays so nicely with my skin, and the cotton candy grounds it in the sweet fruity realm. So So nice.

Wowowowoww this is a perfect little fall scent. I put it on and immediately thought that it would be perfect for fall? really feels like something that would have been released with the weenies. my skin really holds onto the patchouli, but the praline adds such a pretty sweetness to it!!

2009 Version! This one is such a weirdly summery scent??? It’s so SO coconutty that it weirdly reminds me of… pina coladas? I love the lab’s mint note, and I do get a lot of it thankfully. I get weirdly intermittent whiffs of cocoa and rum, then the coconut comes back and whacks me flat on my back, then the mint reappears, then the rum, then the cocoa! It really flits between scents, and it’s a very warm n snuggly scent on me. I’m super happy I snagged this!!

Ooooo I love this thread! Of all the things I’ve sampled with marshmallow in it, I’ve noticed a huge similarity. Stekkjarstaur, vanilla bean marsh & benzoin, rope pulley, fudge marshmallow from this year’s lupers. They all seem to have the same marshmallow base. I also weirdly detect that marshmallow scent in some non- marshmallow scents? 

I am so confused. my skin completely eats this?? I have to press my face right up next to the swatch and even still i smell barely anything? It has a weird undertone that was also in Black Ice 2013 but it has no other scent to it. weird 

edit: myrrh decides it would poke only ITS head out so thats what i smell of now. just myrrh. 

I was gifted a very generous and lovely decant, and Fell. In. LOVE! I am a huge foody, but oh my god everything about this is incredible. Strawberry, powdery marshmallow, and the cream doesn’t go all chees-y or sour on me, it just settles into the background. This is such a sweet, lighthearted scent that I am grateful to have found a fullsize of! 

Ok to preface: my bottle is 15 years aged. I had to let it rest a bit because the initial whiff was play-doh-y, and it was play-doh-y on my skin too. But trying it a week rested- oh my god. This scent is multi-orgasmic for me. I knew I loved most snake oil blends but the 2008 iteration?? Jesus. It’s like the coziest, warmest, sexiest hot chocolate scent ever. Take hot chocolate and add super aged, slinky, spicy snake oil, and combine them. The throw on me is huge and so is the longevity! My mom, who normally never comments on my ‘fumes unless she HATES or LOVES them sniffed me and said “oh WOW! That’s so pretty” So I think this ones a winner. I’ll covet it forever. 

Ok I actually love this one. Didn’t realise I hadn’t reviewed it!! It’s so amazing, the musk plays so well with my skin, and I love red musk notes. This is a true, real warm earth and musk scent. I get no juniper berry but the longer it wears It does get sweeter- which I have no problem with but I love the initial scent. 

On me this is funeral rose. Somber, mourning, silent widow rose. It's apropos for how I'm feeling atm. I usually don't super love rose and this does lean a little soapy and dry, but that's nice. It stirs sad, wistful feelings. I like it, but not enough to acquire a full bottle right now. 

Weird weird weird. I smell like blood and… spit? definitely smell dirt too. I feel like a debauched vampire who just had sex on some dirt and am now…. sniffing the back if a computer?? this one is so fucking ODD. i love it 

this one is addictive. I’m actually considering tracking down a full size of it and i RARELY do that with anything nebulously floral. it’s just so goddamned WEIRD i love it. It really does have the smell and “experience” of metal? if that makes sense? and the aldehydes make it lean very perfumey- a quality I usually an not a fan of in my ‘fumes. but this one smells like you’re cracking open a floral lacroix next to a bunch of very sparkly machinery. i kept sniffing myself when i tried it yesterday. 

Cakey, foody goodness. It’s so sweet and light, Currently sobbing that I didn’t snag a fullsize bottle.

When slathered, I like this. It's almost like a creamsicle? It's very heavily orange blossom on me. It stays kind of floral and orangey for like five minutes until it just DISAPPEARS! it goes away so quickly

Man I love this one. Total sexy boysmellz. I want to slather myself and My Boy in it. This definitely needs to be an upgraded bottle. Woods usually aren't my thing (barring rosewood, that's actually one of my favorite scent notes) but they're not overpowering. The incense peeks it's head out from under the initial rosewood punch, and the tonka is definitely joining the party at this point too. I smell the parchment about 30 minutes in, and it almost gives it a weirdly (welcome) creamy touch? It smells so expensive and delicious- like I've plopped onto a chair in an older english gentleman's library and he's now seducing me by explaining 18th century poetry or something. Fantastic. 

I think I probably hate oakmoss. This smells weird and powdery and ICK on me :c my mom fucking loves it, but I think it smells like weird sweet babywipes. Maybe I don't hate white floral, I just hate oakmoss! 

laughing REALLY hard at @Lecter ‘s review bc yeah. Why the fuck does this smell like pee! I’m guessing it’s the opium, but man. I do NOT want ! 

Yeah, this is the sweet minty goodness i was looking for! Its a light scent but it’s got a good throw and long wear (on my skin) I’m really in love. 

Straight out of the mail, so Will update when it's been well rested:

This one is. Interesting?  It comes on VERY strong. I used a TEEENY drop of it, and it was just overwhelming everything. In it's initial stage it reminds me SO terribly much of delina exclusif, by perfumes de marly (a nearly FOUR HUNDRED dollar perfume) and when I compare the notes, it makes a lot of sense. marshmallow, tea, lots of people getting bergamot. I wish I got more marshmallow and cream from it, but I actually love the earl grey note in this. When It dries it's no longer overly expensive godawful commercial perfume, it's a lot more subdued and the earl grey stops screaming at you. At this stage, the marshmallow and cream do emerge a little more. My final verdict is that I adore it, and I do agree with @zankoku_zen this perfume is definitely pure love as a scent.

EDIT: Man man man MAN i’m so happy no one snagged this from me when i had it up for sale! The bergamot settles down with rest, and it reveals a really fresh bright tea note, rounded out by truly toasted marshmallow. Oh my god, I put this on and just could not stop sniffing myself. This one is so perfect 

Straight from the mail, So will update after a couple day's rest.

Wet- Holy shit, that's COUGH SYRUP!

On skin- Ok, now it' a gorgeous tart cherry. No sugar, just bright, underripe dark red-cherry.

Dry- Whoa. This is not a lit stick of incense.  The cherry is still very much there, it's not at all hindered by the incense.

Verdict: Gorgeous, but not really for me. 

Exactly what I wanted! So much so that now I'm craving brownies covered in marshmallow fluff. That's exactly what this is, a fudgy brownie covered in marshmallow fluff.
