Puffy clouds of pumpkin candyfloss with a trickle of blackberry juice. So, I love the perfume... and had to try this! Sniffing in the bottle, I get a slight whiff of the blackberry... and then... something....grainy. Grainy blackberry juice. Hmm... Of course, I only have used aged BPF perfume, as I wasn't around when it was first released, but the HG smells different to me. In my hair, it stays the same. Very light, not a lot of throw and no pumpkin candy floss. Kind of disappointed. Maybe I will sit on it a while and see if it changes. Edit to add... well, after a while, I get no blackberry juice or any pumpkin candy floss. Just this odd, light, grain smell in my hair!

Wild plum oudh and crushed violets. Ugh, I love The Violet Window HG. I love violet in general, so there's that. But the plum oudh falls like a purple shadow across the floral note in a way that makes this so huffable and addictive.

Giuseppe Palizzi Black pine, white sage, creeping ivy, and wild juniper. This is a very clean green scent. I get a ton of ivy, followed by juniper and sage. Honestly, the sage is almost MIA, and the pine definitely is. And it's a very IVY blend. Good throw, medium wear length. I'm very surprised by this blend as I expected a pine-sage mix, and its all ivy.

Frans Hals Black teakwood with frankincense, leather, myrrh, and lemon rind. I've only tried a few hair glosses, so bear with me, I don't have a ton of experience trying these or reviewing them compared to perfume oils. (for the record I ADORE It is Gold! It is Gold! and can still smell it the next day or even after washing my hair depending on shampoo) I was looking forward to this one because I'm a leather lover. I got a 4ml tester in a spritz bottle so I could actually spray it on my hair. Well, the lemon is lovely! It's very fresh, clean, and lemony...and not at all "lemon cleaner". I really like this lemon note. Unfortunately, that's about all I get...and it doesn't last long. Within 2-3 hours it's basically gone. Many hours after that if I sniff the part of my hair I sprayed versus a part I didn't (long hair) I can smell a difference - that there is *something* on the part I sprayed and still mostly lemony. I hope others have better luck than I did with this one.

Type AB-, clove, laudanum accord, and cherry! Bloody cherry and laudanum resin, with a whiff of clove. This smells like a cherry/clove resin. Good throw and wear length

Pieter Boel Sweet labdanum with clove, tobacco absolute, and guiac wood. Y'all...this is so, so good. It smells strongly of the crumbly amber resin that you can find in the incense section of witchy stores, but spicier. If you love In Templum Dei, you will probably like this one as well. I tested it last night, and wore it to work today, and couldn't stop sniffing my wrists.

Johann Christian Reinhart Brown musk, leather, castoreum accord, white cedar, amber oudh, and clove bud. Clove, amber, oudh, cedar, and whiffs of musk and leather. This is a much cleaner, muskier blend than I expected. I get clove on wet, and then I get the amber and oudh peeping out. The cedar is not overwhelming. The musk is there and it starts off as much more animalistic, but calms down once everything else is in play. Musky, clove, leather. Medium throw and wear length.

Tea leaf, matcha, sheer juniper, and lime rind. The lime comes out strong, followed by the tea leaf and matcha. When it actually dries in the hair, it's much more of a matcha tea kind of scent. Not getting much of the juniper, which I don't mind, BUT I wish the lime would stick around in the hair a bit longer.

A rustle of dry leaves buffet against a dusky sheer musk, gently embraced by a thin shawl of vetiver, myrrh, and white grapefruit. Oktobernacht is similar to my beloved Dead Leaves and Desolation. The grapefruit definitely lifts this up to another level. Its white not red so it isnt sweet. Not too much smoke from the vetiver. Quite powdery in the Musk department. Old timey. The Hair gloss version of the cocktail, The Derby.

Dead Leaves, Bourbon Vetiver, Nagarmotha, and Vanilla Absolute
ladymeag posted a topic in Halloweenie
Every leaf tells a story. In the bottle: mossy, warm, a little vanilla, a hint of vetiver. On my skin: I have two choices with vetiver - it either amps beyond all comprehension or settles in and provides a woodsy warmth. This scent has the second one with a nice mellowing of vanilla. There's an ozone quality here I can't quite place but it carries this scent straight into "crisp fall day among rustling leaves." Where October gives me all of the damp-day fireside warmth of leaves, this one is a nice dry-leaves scent that's not quite as sharp or bright as A World Where There Are Octobers or Sonnet D'Automne. On someone else in my house: All vetiver, all the time with a hint of soapy vanilla.- 8 replies

And, anon, there strikes the ebony clock which stands in the hall of the velvet. And then, for a moment, all is still, and all is silent save the voice of the clock. The dreams are stiff-frozen as they stand. But the echoes of the chime die away — they have endured but an instant — and a light, half-subdued laughter floats after them as they depart. And now again the music swells, and the dreams live, and writhe to and fro more merrily than ever, taking hue from the many-tinted windows through which stream the rays from the tripods. Dreams writhing to and fro, bubbling up from half-subdued laughter: pink peppercorn, jasmine sambac, and cypress bubbling up through half-subdued white lavender, stabbed through with streams of red musk and black currant. Jasmine, pink peppercorn, red musk and a whiff of lavender. This one has the floral elements rising to the surface over the red musk. The jasmine and lavender do a good job of keeping the red musk in check, and the pink peppercorn actually smashes down the jasmine in this blend as well. Overall, great balance. Medium throw and wear length.

J.J. Grandville White carnation and peony with thyme, green oudh, pink pepper, fleshy lily stamens, orchid, and clove bud. This one was definitely a carnation floral with notes of peony, orchid, and a whiff of oudh. It was a very sort of white perfume smell but with spicy notes from the carnation and I think the clove backing it up. More sophisticated and a ton of depth.

Blackened mahogany, tobacco absolute, cardamom, grave loam, dried blood, and olibanum. Fancy male cologne. No mahogany. No loam. Just fancy men's fourege.

Tea leaf, vetiver, Himalayan cedar, white tobacco, and lime. The tea leaf (I'm reminded of the Lab's white tea note) and lime stand out to me when the atmo is initially sprayed, backed by the warmth of the cedar. These remain the dominant notes to me. There's no smoky variety of vetiver here, and the white tobacco gives it a slightly perfume-y quality. We don't often get citrus-y atmos, so I am thrilled that the lime is a main player in this one, and the tea adds a nice, fresh vibe to it as well. This is really nice, and it would be great to have around in the spring and summer. I think I'd love it if it were just pure tea and lime, though, without the cedar.

Blackberry incense, indigo musk, wild grape, polished mahogany, and blackberry wine. Whoa MUSK. There is a definite purpleness and a bit of incense. Not much wine or fruit. I was hoping this would be a good substitute for our beloved Witches Hut. It is lovely but youll really need to love Musk.

These two things go together so beautifully. There's a bit of sweet sugar .....a hint of creaminess.... almost, sugar milk? This is not lemon pledge, this isn't lemon candy, I don't get any booze note ..... this is it's own lovely fresh, Autumn citrus breeze, thing. This hits all of my favorite note happy places..... I'm wearing it right along with my couch. I may have to get another bottle of this because I want to bathe in it....

A burst of warmth on a chill October evening. Clove, cinnamon, and a whiff of copal (which gives this a bit of floral freshness). It's mainly a clove/cinnamon blend. Warm, cozy, and spicy.
-
[No additional description provided.] Sprayed this over my bed last night. It's primarily a moss scent, with soft hint of dead leaves on the ground and fallen peony petals. It's floral but faintly so? I find it hard to explain. Still, primarily, green moss, slightly sharp, as is the peony, over crunchy, slightly cologne-y leaves. Not a sleepy or soothing scent, seems like a sitting room or study to me.

Dead Leaves, Ceylon Cinnamon, and Cocoa Atmosphere Spray
Follow My Nose posted a topic in Atmosphere
[No additional description provided.] I don't think I've ever been first before, but this atmo is so perfect for the fall season, I wanted to give it some love here. On first spritzing, this starts out mostly cinnamon, not too sharp or overpowering, just nice warm spice. The cocoa comes out quickly, not a chocolate-heavy scent, but dry cocoa powder in the background. As it dries, the dead leaves make their appearance, but stay behind the cinnamon with the cocoa, filling out the scent with a warm, soft woodsiness. This is perfect for evoking crisp autumn days, having a cup of spiced cocoa after a walk through the woods, fallen leaves still stuck to your sweater.- 3 replies

It was in this apartment, also, that there stood against the western wall, a gigantic clock of ebony. Its pendulum swung to and fro with a dull, heavy, monotonous clang; and when the minute-hand made the circuit of the face, and the hour was to be stricken, there came from the brazen lungs of the clock a sound which was clear and loud and deep and exceedingly musical, but of so peculiar a note and emphasis that, at each lapse of an hour, the musicians of the orchestra were constrained to pause, momentarily, in their performance, to hearken to the sound; and thus the waltzers perforce ceased their evolutions; and there was a brief disconcert of the whole gay company; and, while the chimes of the clock yet rang, it was observed that the giddiest grew pale, and the more aged and sedate passed their hands over their brows as if in confused reverie or meditation. But when the echoes had fully ceased, a light laughter at once pervaded the assembly; the musicians looked at each other and smiled as if at their own nervousness and folly, and made whispering vows, each to the other, that the next chiming of the clock should produce in them no similar emotion; and then, after the lapse of sixty minutes, (which embrace three thousand and six hundred seconds of the Time that flies,) there came yet another chiming of the clock, and then were the same disconcert and tremulousness and meditation as before. The chiming of the clock: ebony wood and black pepper, narcissus blossom and tuberose, clanging with dull, heavy opoponax and thick olibanum. Heavy dark wood, thicky olibanum (hence very very resinous). This blend is the resin equivalent of flipping taking a set of wooden chains and locking yourself in. It just sinks. I get a whiff of narcissus every now and then and it merely accentuates how dense this is. I wouldn't be surprised if a black hole smelled like this. Phenomenal throw, good wear length. Of course, the jerk.

Louis Gauffier Lebanese cedar, chamomile, frankincense, and cinnamon. This starts of as cedar, and frankincense with a whiff of cinnamon. As it dries, the chamomile comes out, and its a chamomile-cedar blend, with hints of resin. Medium throw and wear length. This one is sort of manly to me.
