@MonBon woah, incredible recs!! I actually do have Resembling The Passion of Love & Bien Loin D’ici, both of which are gorgeous. I tried Le Léthe and wasn’t wowed by it but it was a fresh imp from the Lab & I wonder if I’d like the aged bottles… i saw potential in it but it didn’t live up to debauchery or bien loin

Severin is a heart-throb. Wet, the leather component reminds me of a thick, hand-bound book. The heavy, thudding kind, for which you acquire special permission to check out from the University library. There's something glowing brightly around the leather's edges, perhaps bergamot as prior reviewers have mentioned. It's sharp in a masculine, cologne adjacent way. As the oil dries and the top notes burn off, things round out and Severin begins to smell like a dark-eyed poet. Perhaps he's a vampire with an extensive library of titles stretching back decades. The bergamot has seemingly curtseyed and sashayed away, peeking her head in shyly every now and then, and the leather smells almost like the soft worn leather of a beloved jacket or gloves. The tea is grounding and herbal throughout this entire experience- but late into the dry down is when it really begins to shine. Everything becomes sort of creamy and hazy at the halfway mark of wearing, becoming something less formal and a little more.... unbuttoned. Maybe now the vampire's hair is down. It's sexy and warm and inviting. The deep-dry down is reminding me quite a lot of Jareth. It's missing the lilac and oudh, which actually makes Severin a little less complex than Jareth, but they both share that "impossibly sexy" quality. Perhaps they both just make me feel impossibly sexy..... either way, I digress. Severin is an incredible fragrance, and I will forevermore mourn it's discontinuation. Sillage: Medium- But I am slowly realizing I may just apply much more perfume than other people. Longevity: About 4 hours. It was completely undetectable to my nose after about 5 hours.

Citrine is That Bitch. She smells bougie. I have both the Hair gloss & oil. Hair Gloss: The ambmyrrh casts a thick & golden aura that radiates like a halo. The citrus is there, but lighter & more short-lived than the oil. It definitely smells of “orange zest” or peel rather than the sweet juice of an orange. It’s bitter, in a sophisticated, aperol-spritz way. Perfume Oil: A little gentler & rounder than her bold hair gloss counterpart, this one lets the citrus shine for a full 3 hours. Brighter, less resinous, less “full” than the hair gloss. It settles into the sexiest clean amber you’ve ever smelled within 6 hours. Both the hair gloss & perfume oil are strong on their own, but I find that when I layer them, I get chased down in crystal shops. Longevity: 10 ish hours for the oil, a full 14 for the Gloss. Sillage: Strong. This one is *not* demure.

This is one of my favorite room sprays of alllll time. Soft, powdery baby pink rose splashed with rose water & dusted with earthy tea and ephemeral orris. This spray transforms my modern, bedraggled bedroom spotted with IKEA furniture into a lush, velveteen oasis. Three spritzes and suddenly I’m lounging on a plush chaise lounge in my sheer chemise, smiling cheekily at a handsome man who’s currently doing his best to ignore me while he reads. I’m in love with this scent & it pairs so well with wearing any variation of the “lace” perfumes.

Sweet, musky fluffy cakey lemony ambery goodness. This is very fresh & clean going on, and then it morphs into a soft, sensual amber musk. It's not super foody because it's sweetness is tempered by the fresh lemon & skin musk. I really love this one, as it reminds me of another favorite, Four penises. It does have a short longevity, which actually makes it an incredible bed-time scent. I love wearing it before bed because it feels it casts a warm, radiant glow. Very soothing & almost meditative in a way. Just lovely! Sillage: Medium Longevity: short, about 2-3 hours.

I applied this & was immediately transported to a vacation my family and I took when I was a child. There is no cotton note but this conjures up images of laying on freshly laundered egyptian cotton in a hotel room with the balcony doors open. The sun is setting and the sky is pink and gold. The gentle crashing of the bluest waves you’ve ever set eyes on lulls you into the deepest sleep you’ve ever had. Ambery, warm, creamy & delicious. What more could anyone want? Sillage: medium Longevity: medium

These are all incredible recs!! I’ve actually acquired several of these bottles lately due to y’all recommending them but I forgot to update everyone!! I absolutely *loooove* snake smut & Jialong but debauchery is a top-tier favourite. I’ll hunt down snake charmer someday….. hopefully. These both sound absolutely incredible. I will be hunting them down!

I’d be happy to smell of this for the rest of my life I think. Sexy, resinous apples. The cigarette note isn’t aggressive and disgusting it’s kind of wispy and balanced so gorgeously by the fresh tartness of the *perfect* apple note I’m head over heels for this one.

This was a surprise hit for me. I feel sexy as hell when I wear it. It’s all smooth black musk and sweet incensey myrrh. This is a worn in leather jacket scent, alluring and badass. I love this so much I have a backup bottle of it.

Hi friends! I recently fell head over heels for Smut 2025, and I was curious about some GC recommendations for similar smutty/sensual fragrances? Or even non GC I love hunting fumes down hehe

SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE! I do agree this is the scent of a bohemian Goddess. She wears long velvet skirts and has her waist length hair half-up, half-down, reading tarot cards and burning patchouli & sandalwood insence. This is sweet and sexy and plush. It’s purple velvet couches and celestial print upholstery and pillows with deep crimson tassles and gold threading. She makes chamomile tea before bed and wakes up before dawn to stretch and pray- yoga for her is a spiritual experience not an exercise and she has cabinets full of rare materials and a garden full of herbs and plants. Kitchen witch but sexier.

Plummy purple floral with some sweet vanillic musk, it’s kind of high end and mainstream. not super snakey, but it is gorgeous. It reminds me sort of a sweeter, more feminine Drow. I adore this perfume and want two or three backups but I do concur it’s not heavy on the snake. Sillage: Medium! Wear Time: 4-6 ish hours

Oh my goodness. Thank you for the rec, @sunshinedaisybliss that looks like the exact thing I want!! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a bottle!

I’ve bought an indecent number of backup bottles and may yet buy more (threat). I just cannot stop reaching for it. Such a wearable yet sexy spiced vanilla- I do concur the vanilla is of the floaty variety, very lace-esque, yes. The cardamom is just enough to give it a little spice without ruining the gorgeous ephemeral thing it’s got going on-cardamom can be weirdly angelic, as evidenced by both this blend and Aasimar. Velvety, plush, sweet, soft, sultry, ohhhhh wow goodness. It’s so good 5 adjectives doesn’t even feel like enough. Sillage: Present… but like in an ephemeral way…… take a shot every time i use ephemeral in a review… Wear time: 5-6 hours of full strength and then around 3 more hours of detectable perfume

Beautiful thank you for the recc!!! I adore the RPG collection bc I fuckin’ adore DnD, so any time I get to purchase from it to fulfill a specific scent goal… I do a lil happy dance.
