@Geminirubyslippers got it right. A slow blink or happiness in a bottle. It's absolutely stunning, blended impeccably. Backup worthy (eventually)

If you are even remotely interested in this scent, just buy it. It's so beautiful and fluffy and juicy and whimsical. It's everything the rest of the reviews say and more. A perfect marshmallow sprinkled with fresh grapefruit zest.

Raspberry Punch with Cake Crumbs
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in The Edward Gorey House
This one really displays the artistry of what The Lab can do. Yes, I get gin especially in the early stages, but I get more than gin- I get the components of the gin, like the botanicals. And they are somehow definitely different than the elderflower. It's just a really fun, light, intoxicating little number. The cake crumbs come out to play later in the dry down (and with them the lightest lemon drizzle on top). A winner. -
Everyone else has said it all- cozy sweet lavender, buttery kettle corny popcorn. What a treat!
-
The biggest olfactory heartbreak. I'm so glad I didn't blind bottle. Everything about this one was up my alley but it just smells...sour and strange on me. I do believe that some of the Lab's honey notes just hate me, so that could be contributing. I want what Luchessa got!

Idle Moon: Coconut Milk and Rice
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
The scent I was most excited for from this lunacy. This is not a sweetened coconut milk; this is the coconut milk you put in your curry recipe. The rice reads slightly more jasmine rice than the other specific jasmine rice scent. It’s creamy and buttery and on me, not sunscreen. As a massive coconut lover, I’m happy. I matched this up with my very aged Obatala imp and found this one to be more pure coconut. I’m currently deeply torn on if I’m upgrading to a bottle, because I really enjoy this, but perhaps I can find my true love coconut elsewhere? Is this special enough when I'm not getting as much rice as I'd like? Halp. ~~Update~~ I layered this today with Jasmine Rice & White Musk and it is utterly divine. All of the four prescribed notes become more prominent. -
Idle Moon: Jasmine Rice and White Musk
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Simply gorgeous. I think this is an easy crowd-pleaser. I concur with roseus, this is extremely huffable. I imagine this will layer well with just about anything that could use the ethereal white musk. Full bottle. ~~Update~~ Layered with Coconut Milk and Rice, this becomes huffable x 3. -
Idle Moon: Vanilla Husk and a Bundle of Twigs
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
The driest vanilla I’ve ever smelled. Like that dryness that kind of catches you in the back of your throat like dust. The twigs are still a bit green; others have mentioned that they are lacquered and I might agree…there’s something shiny? I find this really interesting but only to keep and contemplate. -
The twigs are green and the rice is more like 5 days worth. I can’t get white tea at all; it’s a zingy ginger for me. I haven’t ventured into any layering with these but I’m going to try adding Coconut Milk & Rice and see if that amps the rice here.

Brown butter rice krispy treats! Sweet and scrumptious. Possibly bordering on sweet overload if combined with a gourmand perfume.

Sweet! Cheery cherry rose. Exactly as described. The same girl who wears Convivial Vulva also owns this hair gloss.

What it says on the tin! Completely delicious creamy nutty lusciousness

Bottle: sweet creamy hielotrope and almond Wet: bright sharp tea, cherry, orangey amber, hint of heliotrope Dry: Initial impression notes: cherry cough syrup, red-orange amber, no lotus blossom, tea, and definitely no toasted almond blossom cream Impressions a few weeks later: the heliotrope came back out to play with a lil sweetness from the lotus blossom. The ink (I think?) gets more prominent for the late stages. Keeping the decant for the unique combination

Bottle: Strawberry milk Wet: Strawberry milk with pink bubblegum and a bit of powder Dry: Iris! Soft, sweet, creamy iris and strawberry. In my mind, this scent is the color of purple dangling wisteria. The girl that wears this will tell you her favorite Jane Austen novel is Emma but it's actually Persuasion. Upgrading to a full bottle
