What a beautiful, warm and resinous rose. Unfortunately, I'm not getting any blackcurrant. I think I prefer Knave of Snowflakes for the blackcurrant + rose combo. And maybe the white lace is causing the rose in this one to smell somewhat muted, compared to my other rose scents. I'm not able to pick out the white lace separately as it's own note. I'll be enjoying my sample, but won't be seeking more.

Cold, calm, and collected. I liked this much better than Zorya P, which was more floaty, floral, and fragile than Marble Wreath. Both are white, flat, and clean, but this is brighter and opaque. Sandalwood shows up late. Very classy. Does not offend. Almost a non-perfume. Could wear this anywhere.

Mostly orange marmalade with scones, a little spice, possible rhubarb, possible tea. I still like it, but it's not what I thought it would be.

Opens with a thick glossy patent leather, but quickly morphs into a warm, brown musky vanilla that smells nothing like Snake Oil, save perhaps a distant relative. The leather makes a few more appearances before the drydown, which smells a bit gourmand in comparison. It's slightly greasy like the deep fry oil note of a sufganiyot but sweet like caramel. I enjoyed the scent journey but won't need more than a sample.

Starts with a slick glossy patent leather that I did not enjoy, but it quickly warms into the sugared patchouli, which is much better. The clove keeps things interesting and unexpected.

Warm, creamy, and sticky sweet like caramel. The milk doesn't turn lactonic and there are goaty hints in the drydown. The honey is not noticeable. Delicious.

Deliciously dark, mildly sweet. Mellow cardamom with coffee and amber. I wish this would last longer on my skin but I still love it anyway. Like a cross between Miskatonic Univ and Morocco, but better than either one.

It's gorgeous! The amber is not so black but more glowy and warm. There's a bit of white tea in there, like a distant relative of Dorian or Pazuru. Oakmoss is probably there too, but can't say for certain about any of the other notes. I'm glad the orange pulp is not noticeable.
-
I found it comfortable and creamy from the white chocolate but a little minty/camphorous which lends the idea of glowy green color. The green tea is almost powdery but not matcha. There's a very slight woodiness in the drydown.

Brisk and herbal. Smells a bit like dry hay, snow, and light florals (but none of the flowers in the notes).- 3 replies

Juicy blackberries with a little bit of rice, a hint of coconut/almond, and a drop of tea. The bergamot shows up more on drydown and teases out the tea.
-
Overall, it feels calm and collected, smooth and creamy, but not like rice milk or really any milk, unless it's rice powder stirred in water so it looks like milk. A little bit powdery and very slightly sweet, possibly from the jasmine but more likely from the coconut. The coconut and almond comes thru strongest and stays the longest, chilled and composed like Nui Cobalt's Snow Cat (not as brisk as Snowy Owl).

Juicy sweet guava against a background of cream and green fig. Not lactonic. Feels gentle and innocent, but deliciously ripe and dripping with juice. The imagery might be sexual, but the scent is actually more tropical. If it was a color, it'd be bright rosy pink (like guava).
