After wearing this today, I was curious about what I wrote in September. Apparently I did not. But I found my notes from reddit: It's as lovely as I hoped and I think it will still get lovelier with more rest. This was super freshly made according to Puddin' so think with more maturation it's going to settle much more into the oatmeal wool, and tea aspects. Right now I'm getting some fuzzy baking spices on top of a bowl of milky oatmeal with a teeny drizzle of surprise maple syrup. Five months later- I was right! It's so freaking snuggly. Now I can find all of the listed notes if I really sniff around, but it really just feels and smells like wearing a fuzzy beige cardigan, while eating some oatmeal cookies and a weak cuppa, with a sandalwood candle in the other room. Longevity - off the charts. 12 hours later with a pretty conservative one finger on the top bloop, it's waned maybe by 20%.

Beaver Moon: Coconut Cream & Guava
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Same experience as @doomsday_disco. Really yummy juicy guava during the wet phase but it eventually concedes to the coconut cream. Which is pretty but ideally if I'm going to FS, I want it in equal measure for the whole wear. -
Beaver Moon: Lime Blossom & Amber Sugar
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Really really pretty. My experience is most in line with @doomsday_disco with candied lime and deep amber. Strangely addicting and has that little something special that makes me realize I don't have anything like it. Very likely full bottle candidate. -
Beaver Moon: Green Tea & Cookie Dough
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I wish I got what either of the other reviews did. I really am perplexed sniffing this one. I can't actually name what I'm smelling. It smells nice but if I didn't know it was green tea and cookie dough, I'd never pick either of those notes. Ok mayyybe I'd eventually get to a jasmine green tea but even then it's a watercolor of that tea. I'm not turned off by this and didn't feel the need to scrub, I just couldn't say what it was doing for me in any which way. -
London Fog Cream Pie
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Gifts with Donation or Purchase
With the announcement that this is joining the Activism scents, now's the perfect time to review this... because it's so dang good and everyone can snatch it up. It's bergamot cream, Earl grey floof filling, a drizzle of vanilla syrup. It's perfect. However - I get no pie-ness. But that might be a me problem, I never get any pie quality from the Lab's pie scents. It's also quite strong with only a light slather with my little imp wand. -
Sich Aufstützender Weiblicher Akt Mit Langem Haar
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Limited Editions
I have no clue what happened because I got 0% of these beautiful notes. It's 100% strong soap on me. Kind of a fancier dove bar. -
Jammy blackberry filling only, sadly no pastry

Upvoting @VioletChaos. Very well put. But while I really like how it smells and enjoy sniffing, it's not something I think I can wear all day without succumbing to a headache from the perfumey aspect.

Twizzlers. Is that the worst thing? Definitely not. But that's all I got.

Alas, the allspice is too much for me. Allspice and clove are migraine notes for me, but I can see the beauty in this, just from far away. Very amber forward on me.

I don't have enough in my felties to try this, but I bet layered with Lines Written by a Bear...would be absolutely banging. This is gorgeous. Buttery, warm in the amber sense, vanilla without being Vanilla. My brain tells me that this lives too close to Lines Written in my satisfaction of the scents, so I'll pick one to FS. Right now this is winning

What @wilhelmscream said. How is this both warm and cool? Beautiful and light.

I'm so sad, I just got caramelized dark honey. Why??
-
What @LavenderCoffee said! It's really pretty and does that fizzy thing that BPAL is so good at creating
-
I'm also getting whatever odd background note that @ND¢is getting. Maybe it is kinda balsamic? I don't think it's patchouli but I can't quite put my finger on it. The wet stage was roasted beans and caramel but dry I'm just getting this off note behind a little haze of amber.
