A Little More Tea
Lilith says that the Mad Hatter should smell like tea (EARL GREY!) with honey and cream and lots and lots of cookies.

 

I want to try it but I'm afraid of what the honey note will do on me. Decant worthy.

 

Babys First Krampuslauf
Dark chocolate and a hint of woodsmoke.
​None of these notes really work for me, I'm safe.

 

Caldarium
Mulberry and honey myrtle with flax and rosemary.

 

This is not my jam.

 

Circus Bear
rose, gardenia, styrax, and frankincense splattered with cotton candy and the white glop in the middle of Oreos

Not something I'd enjoy but a cool concept!

 

Connecting Flight
The distant scent of black coffee spiked with coffee liqueur and dusted with cinnamon.

I think I'll pass on this one.

 

Dinnertime at the Diviners Hut
Tomato leaf and frankincense.

 

Eugh I hate tomato leaf.

 

Funerary Papyri
Myrrh and papyrus reed with a smear of vanilla cream frosting.

I bet this is nice but it's not grabbing me. Maybe I'll watch reviews.

 

Good Morning, London
A scent for my bed-headed September 2nd Virgos: lavender for Lilith and amber for Brian.

#2 on my "buy a blind bottle" list from this update. Def want.

 

Heavenly Spark
the echoes of the incense smoke of hundreds upon hundreds of years curling around roses and oak branches.

I don't do awesome with roses but again, sounds lovely!

 

Heel
The scent of our backyard in summertime, the scent of Lilith trying to explain to Pickle how to heel correctly: honeysuckle, late summer jasmine, and mowed grass.

 

Definitely want to try a decant. I got Goofin' with Stonehenge and that's already got a grass note. But I love honeysuckle!

 

Holy Trinity
Soft riverbank soil, winter daffodils, fog-damp grass, curled pondweed, and frankincense.

Earthy, loamy scents don't work well for me usually.

 

La Milagrosa
clusters of mariposa and mahoe, sprays of black orchid, loves red roses, and a thin drift of cigar smoke.

 

Pass.

 

Lilith and Sekhmet
Blood wine and amber.

 

Pass.

 

Lilith and the Four Sons of Horus
Golden honey and cassia.

 

I'm afraid this would go to powder on me but lovely sounding.

 

Little Lady Frankenstein
This should smell like electricity and potions.
I did my best, kid.

Oh man I want to know what this is like so bad! I love ozone. Watching for reviews and definitely need a decant. Maybe a bottle...

 

Motherhood
Snake Oil, lavender, bubblegum, and gummi bears.

 

You lost me at bubblegum.

 

My Little Grotesque
Lilith expressing herself at the V&A: cardamom-dusted cupcakes.

Mmm cardamom. I want to try this one badly. Possibly blind bottle badly.

 

O The Joy of My Spirit!
Crooked hazelnut and tonka with a touch of cacao and black pine.

I really want to test this but idk about pine? Decant and watch reviews.

 

Outlaw
This one is for my little bandit: sarsaparilla, leather, and vanilla cream.

 

Hmm my husband perked up at this one so maybe a bottle.

 

Perfect Fifths
Bow rosin and bubblegum.

 

Nope!

 

Plush Viscera
Lilith says this should smell like blood and guts, but also strawberries. We came to a compromise through a combination of Dragons blood resin, myrrh, and smushed strawberries with a little bit of lavender. She sprays lavender essential oil on her plushies every night before bed, so she thinks plush innards should get the same treatment.

 

So curious, but I dont think I'll buy it. Review stalk.

 

Reapers Gonna Reap
Lilith says this perfume should smell like pretty meat bones, and her translation of that is a musky vanilla sandalwood.

Yes yes yes I'm buying a bottle yes.

 

San Cristóbal de la Habana
Cubas white ginger blossoms, guava pulp, and mango with a touch of white tobacco and sea salt.

 

Decant shortlist

 

Spider Witch
My little witch, my little lilt of laughter: this scent is for the sorceress you are and the sorceress you will grow to be. 7-year aged patchouli, red musk, and bourbon vanilla with sweet oudh, hazelnut, amber chypre, leather.

Interested and potentially decant worthy...Bottle? Idk

 

Stonehenge at Dusk
Wiltshires burnt-tip orchids, a scattering of dandelions, crushed grass, wild daffodil, and chips of fog-wet bluestone.

I picked up the trading posts stonehenge scent so pass.

 

Texare
This scent is inspired by the colors of the yarns she chose that day: raspberry pink, cherry red, sky blue, and lime green, all swirled with frankincense, black oudh, mallow root, and sweet wooly vanilla husk.

Again, not for me but cool and I want to stalk reviews!

 

The Devil Will Find Work for Idle Hands
This scent is a ridiculous mélange of blue cotton candy, strawberry marshmallows, and whipped cream with sprinkles.

Too sweet but very fun!

 

The Great Python Snake
Lilith says that Kaa smells like the jungle, so for her and for the Great Python Snake, Ive bottled an impenetrable canopy of thick, vine-draped trees, primeval flowers blooming in the shadows, and dark, wet earth that has not been touched by sunlight in a millennia.

Pass.

 

The Library of John Dee
Worn leather bindings, the dry crackle of ancient paper, styrax and onycha, frankincense, a drop of candle wax, and the barest fleck of dried Tudor roses.

 

Curious but will watch reviews.

 

The Twelfth
This is the scent of room service vanilla ice cream and leftover cake with a little bit of banana.

Home girl doesn't do banana.

 

The Wolf and the Rattlesnake
NO NOTES LISTED

SO CURIOUS! decant?

 

Vampire Night at the Movies
An odd mix of salted popcorn, butter, clove, and a few drops of stage blood.

Again, pads.

 

Soooo...maybe a few bottles. Will wait for weenies.
