doomsday_disco Report post Posted January 30 You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. – Maya Angelou Under a terrible moon, tides still answer the pull. Roots still find water. Breath still moves from body to body, unseen and unstoppable. To keep breathing together is to refuse erasure and deny despair. Authoritarianism thrives on isolation and fascism feeds on hopelessness. We are living through a terrible moon, indeed, but we are not alone. You are not alone. Every breath you take is an act of defiance. Every hand you reach for refutes the lie that you stand by yourself. We will get through this together. A protective, communal scent to call one another closer and stand united against the darkness. A scent to remind us that even now, especially now, we rise. Smoldering beeswax illuminated by honeyed amber, an embrace of skin musk, body-warmed wool, cacao-dusted sandalwood, and cardamom milk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LavenderCoffee Report post Posted March 12 (edited) well at least for once in 2026 I can say: this is not at all terrible! tremendously comforting, as advertised. surprisingly not super beeswaxy, but unsurprisingly the wool is not going to let you forget it's there. it does play exceedingly nicely with the other notes - the sandalwood in particular! - it's just not a note you can hide. also, I don't find it truly milky, it's like the idea of milk is present. everything comes together rather gorgeously! gets a bit sweeter as it dries. a very soft, well-blended scent that feels like a hug.

OxfordComma Report post Posted Saturday at 08:45 AM Echoing the above, this is quite nice! The wool indeed smells warm, like drying your scarf over a radiator. I don't get any funkiness from the milk and the cacao isn't very strong, both of which I'm very thankful for because I was worried about those two. Overall it smells like a coming in from the cold to a toasty, cozy home and being greeted with a hug. I really like this (and for some reason it makes me think of To A Wreath of Snow but I don't have that any longer to compare, and there's no notes in common iirc so I've no idea why!)

doomsday_disco Report post Posted 7 hours ago (edited) This lunacy scent is mostly about the honeyed amber on me. I get touches of the wool, beeswax, and sandalwood, but none of the other notes can compete with the force of that honeyed amber. However, when layered with some of its duets, I found that all of the duets always remained on top of Terrible Moon's honeyed amber base. So even though I layered a drop of Terrible Moon with a drop of each of the following duets, the duet was always the stronger blend: Cardamom and Black Amber Pistachio and Vanilla Buttercream Steamed Milk and Marzipan I prefer it layered with the two gourmand duets since it takes it more out of cozy resin territory and adds that extra sweetness that I enjoy. This moon isn't a scent I need more of, but it was fun to get to try it and layer it with some of its duets. Edited 7 hours ago by doomsday_disco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
