Soft yet rather prim musk and florals with a sweet vanilla undertone. Ladylike. It's a rather pale scent, and the overall effect reminds me a lot of Mouse's Long and Sad Tale.

I can't identify most of the individual notes in this one but the Lab did a perfect job of capturing The Witch Queen. There's an initial sweetness to it that sort of pulls you in..but there's something really menacing lurking in the background....it comes out...and sure enough, she's holding the knife, about to lop out Yvaine's heart. I've been annoyed by some of the so called "evil" scents I've tried because they're just pathetic rosey incense pushovers masquerading as evil queens..but wow, this one is incredibly sinister.

Hahaha. I loved the member who called Tristan "sex in a field with leather pants." Very woodsy and green, almost a pine needle quality. Very masculine and adventurous. I'm usually on the fence about wearing so called "masculine" scents but this is so fresh and forest like it's not an issue at all. <3

I like this one a lot. Sparkly sharp white wine, greenery, not too sweet. There's a hint of dandelion in there, with an almost sticky quality, like dandelion sap.

The Nones of the Wild Fig, held on the 7th of July and celebrated only by women, is a festival of fertility honoring Juno Caprotina. Both goats and figs are sacred to Juno in this aspect, goats being notoriously randy, and figs being prolifically seedy. The milky sap of the fig tree also links to the concept of fertility, and to Juno as Mother Goddess. The scent is of goat’s milk, ripe fig, and a hint of sweet myrrh. Please note: no goats were milked in the process of creating this scent. It is an accord, and this scent is vegan. I saw goat's milk in the notes list and immediately ordered this scent. Goat's milk perfume - how perfect and wonderful. But now it's here on my wrist and what. is. wrong. with my stupid nose!! I can't smell the goat's milk at all. I love goat's milk. I know what it smells like. Slightly salty, pungent, creamy. But no!! I'm not even getting a HINT of goat's milk. All I'm getting is the fig, sweet and earthy but bland, and something slightly off that smells like burnt sugar and plastic. This is the horrible grating plastic note that I got from Obatala. Oh my god. Words cannot describe how disappointing this is. I think I'm going to go cry now.

In the bottle this smells sooo good, like crisp fresh juicy berries. But from the moment I put it on my skin, the berries disappeared. It went to a strong powdery musk + the sourness of orange blossom...then those backed off a bit and the honey and fig came out. Now the berry seems to be playing around the edges, but never comes to the forefront. I love the idea of this scent and can see how it would be gorgeous on the right chemistry..but cannot see myself wearing it at all. Sigh.

This one reminds me a lot of those sour smarties you get in the little roll up plastics. It's okay, but too bright and cheery and candyish...if Stinky was a color, it'd be neon or perhaps bright yellow. I was expecting it to smell like baby's skin, but it doesn't particularily smell like that...baby skin is softer, more neutral than this guy..Stinky has an almost fruity quality.

Wooo, I can smell the aloe. Clean, the good kind of linen, soapy. I agree with the person who said it smells like baby shampoo. And for some reason I'm associating it with Sea of Glass even though I'm sure they couldn't have been that similar.

I get amber + pleasant spices + cinnamon + patchouli from this one, but it doesn't go rampant in Jacquel, thankfully, as patchouli is prone to do on my skin. Comfortable and indistinguishable.

Whoa, this is definately lime and vanilla and something astringent which I believe is the alcohol. It's kind of..strange. Not unpleasant, exactly, but for some reason the combination irks my nose.

This one is almonds and apple blossoms and something vaguely sweet and powdery. Slightly incense-y maybe, but that's tempered by the other notes. Pretty!

Wet, this was all nail polish. Thankfully when dry it went to woody booze and sweet bonfire smoke. (I agree with the above poster lol)

Headshop with cookies.

Sharp, green, gingery, and decidedly masculine.

Reminds me a bit of Wicked. Sharp, slightly powdery, generic rose. It's not unpleasant, and the lab does do better rose notes than anyone else, but still.

Seriously, I can't get a read on this scent. Zero throw!! Even huffing and puffing less than a centimeter next to my wrist isn't doing squat. That might be sweet neroli, but then again I can't be certain..

Sharp herbs, menthol, pungent. Refreshing. Can't pinpoint why it's so appealing. Drydown is quite similar to the way Yggdrasil turns out on my skin.

It might be my horrid nose, but what about those cinnamon scents? This is Bengal without the skin musk.

It's hard for me to identify ozone and rain scents, they all smell like fresh laundry. The Stormhold is a cool, soft, soapy, lilac-y kind of laundry. And yet it is reminiscent of the icy Stormhold, of rain, of the coolness and slight chill, retains a sort of slickness. Something to wear on a grey, rainy day.

Wow, butterscotch candies! This is lovely and sooo foody. And has great throw.

R'lyeh = Slightly warmer, sweeter Stormhold without the vetiver.

Deep in Earth is similar to Zombi, but not quite as sour and wet. The rose geranium gives it a sweet, spicy, floral quality. Zombi is more wet moss + dirt and Deep in Earth is more flowers in dirt. Really pretty.

This isn't spicy at all on me...yes, it's a pink scent, in both the oil color and what it is evocative of....but it's a cool smelling pink, a dusky purple pink, lilac and something floral in there...slightly heady....satiated with sweetness.

The carnation lends a sharpness and the plum gives a slightly woody (for some reason I associate this with rice flower lol) sweetness. The musk kind of intertwines the two in the background. This scent is so pretty and feminine, I'd wear it when I want my day to feel exotic and oriental.

Whoa, this smells exactly like dirt and roses. It's amazing what the Lab can do! I can't get over the dirt note. It's just so...different. Not pleasant or unpleasant. Just clean dirt, wet after a rain, with roses. I mean, I don't have anything against dirt but I don't go around with my nose stuck in it either. Right on application it was like a host of the undead were walking around...but now the dirt note has faded into clean, nearly indiscernable sun baked earth, and the roses got sweeter and slight more powdery. Smells kinda like a garden! The whole concept of this blows my mind! How incredibly awesome. I hated the dirt note in Nosferatu but this one just works.
