Wolf Spider has aged beautifully. It goes on my skin as a still pretty gritty tobacco with the herbal notes, sage and chamomile, but it softens up quickly with the sweetness of the coconut and the warmth of the tonka and vanilla. White musk can be high pitched on me but any tendency in that direction has aged out of it. Just a warm, cozy, sexy unisex cuddle -- kind of the opposite of the feeling most people get when looking at an actual wolf spider. And yet there's a ruggedness and rawness, especially when wet, so it works with the name. So thrilled to have this one!

Definitely very scary in the bottle. sniffing the bottle, this smells at first to me like very strong body odor. i was like hmmmm at first but after rechecking the notes and resniffing, i definitely agree with other reviews that that's the whiskey coming out strongly. on a re-sniff it definitely gives me the vibes of the whiskey from the weed and whiskey duet which i adore but it also very boozy/medicinal in the bottle. after application some of the other notes come out, with the candlewax being the strongest, supported by the tobacco and coconut shells. stays slightly mentholic from the whiskey when freshly applied but the notes blend really well together. i'm really looking forward to seeing how this ages

Reading the reviews above, I had one major concern before picking up a bottle (secondhand): is this gonna be soap? Like WhatAHoot, I can be very sensitive to 'clean' or 'detergent' vibes, which has cursed my aquatic hunt for years. Wet on skin, the answer appeared to be "yes, but also you're miraculously not mad about it". The first impression was almost like soap, yes, but like the more "masculine" scented soap I can sometimes tolerate - probably the bay leaf, tobacco, and/or balsam, which are popular components for those types of smells. Kinda clean-herbal. Still, that would have put it in "okay" rather than love or even like. The fig is here, adding some fruity sweetness, but overall still on the dry side. As it dries, though, the floral elements of the tobacco flower, the ambergris, and the amber start to come forward - and here it's giving, of all things, To a Wreath of Snow, minus the vanilliac/pseudo-gourmand elements that scent carries. Now it's basically dry and the bay, fig, ambergris, and tobacco flower are making a light clean-skin unisex-to-masc cloud. I'm excited, honestly, because most of the masc scents I love are on the spicy-resins side and can be just too heavy for warm weather, but I think this one is going to shine.

Echoing what Little Bird said - at first, I was honestly a little disappointed in this when I first got it, especially because I got two bottles blind. It was really cloyingly sweet, almost caramel-single-note. It's such a good reminder to never judge a scent by its just-shipped-cover. Now that it's settled down for a month or so, it's got a LOT more depth and chewiness. I get a well-balanced blend of leather and tobacco smoke, sweetened just enough by vanilla-caramel-musk. I don't get much floral, and it's not going to scratch my OG Antique Lace itch, but that's okay (I just wore some of my preciously hoarded OG AL yesterday - I'll just continue to treasure each drop of that). I'll definitely add this to my rotation for autumn scents. I think I might like it even better than Clockwork Couture: Female. This is a lovely, sweet, well-blended leather scent and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how it continues to improve with age.

Wet: hello tobacco. Vanilla linen, with a healthy dollop of tobacco with caramel drizzle. It's not as sweet as I was expecting and I don't mind it.... however. I tend to amp tobacco into headache territory, so we'll see how it develops. It's a very warm tobacco vanilla now with a hint of sassafras or anise. The leather is warm and blended in and doesn't really stand out. It's been dry for a while now, and I have a dusty vanilla tobacco with sassafras caramel and a hint of flowers. The leather still doesn't stand out to me. My major complaint about antique lace resurrected is how the vanilla turns into thin, unpleasant powder. While there is a powdery quality to the vanilla in a Batty Lace, it's tempered by the tobacco and caramel. I think this would pair really well with other sassafras perfumes. I prefer this to Antique Lace Resurrected, but I'm not sure if I'd actually wear it.

This is so pretty. I tried the original perversion a long time ago and remembered not loving it because it was just too much on me. This is perfect, somehow a bit tamer and more refined on my skin, easier to wear somehow. It starts with a chewy tobacco and and the sweet rum. I don't get a ton of leather, just enough to make this kind of soft and cozy. The Black musk is there lending a bit of clean softness. It's all blended gorgeously. I'm not getting coconut or pina colada like others with this but there might be a hint of fruitiness that's not in the original. Unfortunately it doesn't last super long on my skin, but I'm happy to reapply. I'll be picking up a full bottle for sure.

This has nothing on the original Perversion. I deathmatched it with the original (this on my left hand, the original on my right). Of course, the original was aged, but this isn't even as glorious as it when it was fresh. The wine is a main player, but it is quieter than it is in the original scent, but the tobacco is not as loud or as rich, and the leather note is also rather quiet; this is mostly wine with tobacco and musk on me, and the musk makes it smell somewhat soapy, whereas the original Perversion features this amazing, chewy tobacco that throws for hours, splashed with lots of wine, and some sweetness from the tonka. The original is much stronger and much sweeter on me. Curiously, I didn't get much rum, and I was missing the tonka in this one. While it was nice to be able to try this variant, I'm sticking with the original (and the pumpkin spice version, which is mostly just the original with a breath of pumpkin spice).

I can't believe that Wayfaring Stranger has only two reviews. It's a gorgeous and unusual addition to the Lights of Men's Lives family of candle scents. This one starts out harsh, with the raw whiskey and tobacco notes in the forefront. This is not a lovingly aged scotch and a smooth tobacco; this scent starts out a dive bar. I get rust but surprisingly little dust, which can be a strong note on me. So yes, the opening is kind of foreboding. But as the booze and tobacco warm and soften, the sweeter coconut husk and especially the beeswax emerge, and the combination works really nicely. I love elissamay's description of an ofrenda -- it's very evocative of the vibe I get from this. My favorite 2023 Weenie so far.

I enjoy regular Perversion, but it is pretty sweet. I was hoping for Perversion plus leather to reign in the sweetness, but this isn't really like that on me. Wet, I get a big blast of floral perfume, like a sweet gardenia. As this dries down, it settles into a boozy perfume with a sharp floral edge. The tobacco is present under all the other loud notes, rich and chewy like the note in Perversion. The floral note is still there, loud and proud. I'm not sure where it's coming from, maybe the musk? If I had to list the notes according to how this wears on me, I'd say they were gardenia, wine, and sugared tobacco. I think that this would be a great perfume for someone who wants something that smells expensive and like a floral mainstream perfume, but that's not really for me.

I tried an imp of the original Perversion earlier this year a promptly added it to my wishlist, and then when Batty Perversion came out I blind bought a bottle. I honestly don’t remember what the OG smelled like, only that I liked it enough to want to upgrade, and I absolutely adore BP. I mainly get the Chardonnay (which in wine I’m not really a fan) and an overall sweetness. I loved it enough to pick it as the scent I wore when I saw Hozier so now it has all of those good association woven in with it. I do get a hint of leather, but nowhere near as strong as in Snooty Bat (my other bat comparison), and combined with the tonka and tobacco it just blends into a sweet amazingness.

it's been a long time since i've tried regular perversion, but if memory serves, this is sweeter and less leathery. i get the rum, chardonnay and carmelized tonka mostly. it's mildly almost fruity. later on i get a hint of spice. later on i get more musk/tobacco, and it becomes more 'perfumey.' i get no leather at all here. it's nice, but i think i prefer the regular perversion more, because i like the leather.

this is honestly one of my top ten bpals. i agree with some other reviews that this is all about the frankincense with some added spice from the clove. the clove and tobacco aren’t very prominent on their own but give the frankincense a really gorgeous base to shine from. the clove is more of a suggestion of spice than anything else but compliments the frankincense beautifully. this lasts forever on me, after 8+ hours a hint of it is still there

So the plastic note isn't plastic at all, but I can't quite grasp what it is...but it smells like a lit up decoration that you just turned on. It's like orange rind. But not citrusy...like just the white of the rind. The pith. And it sits on top of a the milky shell. There is sweetness underneath too. And then it's like the light gets a bit warmer and an amber glow comes out as it gets sweeter and milkier. The drydown is GORGEOUS. Came back to add: I just realized what it reminds me of....Zorya P but without the moonflower and tobacco notes I think. I wonder if there is ambergris in this.

Fruitier and sweeter than its non-batty predecessor, Batty Perversion smells more playful/whimsical than the very naughty original. The leather and tobacco are less forward, to my nose, and the mix of rum, tonka, and fruity chardonnay make me think of delicious, spiced apricot jam. Or maybe the extra gooey innards of a fig newton, downed with a shot of good, dark rum. Either way, I like it very much, and it's different enough from the original to make both worth hoarding. P.S. I think it will also make a very fun holiday scent.

Spiced rum, tobacco absolute and leather, caramelized tonka, chardonnay, and black musk.

This dapper gentleman is everything I knew I would love. Immediately it's chewy, vaguely sweet tobacco with a soft curl of smoke. I don't get any of the maple leaves until it's fully dry and so therefore blended with that tobacco and smokes makes it so gorgeous and atmospheric, exactly what I wanted to mimic a crisp Autumn night. The rum hardly comes out to play, but that's okay. My brain feels like it's similar to my baby French Tobacco with just the addition of leaves and smoke, which I love so very much. I didn't want to get backup bottles this year, but I might have to break that ban with this.

I may have been a bit over eager in applying this one today, as I’m new to oil fragrances. In the bottle it smells like dried leaves to me. I applied it with a wand to the inner bends of each elbow, and a bit where my neck and collar bones meet on both sides. An hour with it on, the only note I’m noticing is leaves. As I’m typing this (15 hours later), those cronchy dried leaves are still the main note, but I’m finally getting a bit more depth. Like I’ve been frolicking in piles of dried, fallen maple leaves, sweetened by the warmth of the sun. i was hoping to get cigar/tobacco and rum scents more prominently, but that may be my body chemistry. It’s a fairly neutral scent, so gender ambiguous enough i would give it another whirl.

The only Weenie I blind bottled this year and it was a good choice. Its very autumn evening atmospheric, a bit dark and fairly dry. I don't get leaves out of it (bummer for me, but maybe a good thing for others), but the rum and tobacco from the smoke and a hint of pumpkin come through. At first, it was hard to pull the notes aside from the tobacco because its very well blended. The rum isn't super boozy, and the blend has a very slight sweetness. It feels like its in the same family as Everyday is Halloween or Morrocan Pumpkin but much less sweet than either of the two. I loved the concept for the nightmare novellas, and this blend lives up to what I hoped it would be!

In the bottle; boozy, wow, it reminds me of an old fashioned in an old dusty bar. It’s got a somewhat dim throw, despite the very cloying whiskey note. also, though, with a bit of metallic fizziness? Idk, could be that I’m allergic to footstep dust and rusted keys are pretty, odd smelling... I say from experience??? On the skin; the booze sharpens and lifts into a fairly medium throw while the tobacco really murks it up into a pleasant late night patio cocktail bar vibe. Smokers included. It’s thick, and loud, but it’s only a few minutes before it starts to calm down, and the sweet coconut husk/candle wax combo makes it’s way to the foreground as it settles fully. dry; This is everything I was hoping for from this bottle. Boozy scents usually scare me, but I’m also always on the lookout for waxes of any kind, so—with the intrigue behind the rest of the notes—I figured I’d go for it! The wax and coconut husk do wonders here as the whiskey and tobacco fade out into the background. They’re sweet, but smooth like skin musk almost, though nippy as the booze refuses to let go. It reminds me of a dusty room with a single candle burning in the corner—younger years of letting your mind wander in autumn thunderstorms. The longer it settles the cooler in goes, and the softer the candle burns and flickers. But it has yet to fade. overall; absolutely astonishing. The horror movie vibes are immaculate and I’m sure I’m going to be wearing this more than I would have expected.

Even though the scent description lists sandalwood first and says this contains four varieties, Pyramid of Skulls is predominantly about the tobacco on me, and it's a very dry, non-sweet variety, backed by some sandalwood. I could not pick out which varieties of sandalwood are at play here because the tobacco was so loud on me. I am really glad I got a chance to try this one, but it is not a love for me.

An offering of footstep dust and rusted keys, raw tobacco and whiskey, coconut shells and candle wax.

I put this on initially, thought "cool, pumpkiny wood", and didn't think much of it afterwards apart from "nice skin scent". However, after I woke up from a nap, I found myself bewildered by the most BEAUTIFUL vanilla-tobacco smell with a light pumpkin overtone. A morpher for sure and a pleasant surprise! I may have to track down more of this.

Wow, it's been a while since I've had to immediately scrub a scent off, but this one had to go. Inexplicably this is STRONG mint - and not like the fresh herb but rather definite chewing gum. Chewing gum and leather, to be fair; if you want to smell like the leather jacket belonging to an inveterate gum chewer then this is for you! Seriously, though, I feel like some people will genuinely love this, but since mint literally makes me nauseous it was immediately scoured off. I can confirm that it's persistent... I have absolutely no idea where the mint is coming from because none of the notes suggest it. I was hoping for tobacco and gunpowder and tomato leaf and I'm particularly sad that I'm not getting any castoreum in particular since it's one of my favourite notes and so rare in bpal.

Candy corn and boozy apples. Almost a little pipe tobacco.

On my skin, this opens with a blast of herbal leather, like a leather satchel a witch has used to store her herbs in while gathering them in the forest. I get something spicy and almost minty as well, and a feeling of dusty dryness that makes this smell of dried herbs rather than fresh. It's strong right out of the bottle and stays very present as the leather and herbs slowly meld into something that's almost cozy, if you consider sitting in a witch's workshop while they brew potions cozy (sign me up!). I'm not getting any bourbon tobacco, or anything to sweeten this one up, and that's okay, this one is all about the strong, herbal notes on me, with a backing of soft brown leather. I really like this but not sure I need a full bottle.
