It really does smell like all the best parts of the coconut. Tropical and sweet.

Peach and red bean paste?? I had to try this. Suave Clarifying Shampoo once a day and 2-3 sprays of BPAL Hair Gloss on wet hair are all the products my hair gets these days. I have short curly hair. The oil works really well for my curls. The red bean paste is earthy and warm. I don't know how you would know to pair red bean and peach, but it's an amazing combo.

True to it's name. I always get the mango sticky rice at our favorite Thai restaurant. This is it with peach instead of mango. This rice is warm and nutty and balances perfectly with the peach.

Roasted Peach, Velvet Rose, and Labdanum
topazphoenix replied to Jenjin's topic in Event Exclusive Oils
I only smelled the "roasted" component of this when I compared it to blends that had fresh peach. It's definitely 'cooked' peach in there. But it's still got enough life to stand up to the labdanum. I get the "velvet" quality too. There's something magical about the simplicity of these notes and how they play together so well. ✨️ -
Realistic peach, warm amber. Gorgeous, huffable, and stunning. I was commiserating with someone on Facebook who also wish they had got backups. I will treasure my bottle.

This is a wonderful clean floral, and the opium adds a touch of metal, mystery, and staying power. This was my favorite of the Our Lady of Pain line.

The patchouli and caramel compliment each other so well. Soft and comfortable without being pretentious. This one is my favorite. 5/5.

This is toothy sweet strawberry Ensure and I am here for it! Maybe not an everyday scent as it's so sweet you have to be in the mood. Layers well with Wild Strawberries and Patchouli.

Pink Moon: Wild Strawberries and Patchouli
topazphoenix replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This is really unique and compelling. The patchouli and strawberry combine seamlessly and are somehow better together. This also plays well with Pink Moon. -
Pink Moon: Marshmallow and Candyfloss Hair Gloss
topazphoenix replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Hair
The lab's marshmallow note is subtle and floofy and warm, and the candyfloss adds a little extra sweetness. Simple, but cozy and endlessly layerable. -
I love this, but I have to be in the mood for patchouli and the amber takes a couple minutes to warm up in my hair.

Strawberry Moon 2024: Wild Strawberries and Amber Hair Gloss
topazphoenix replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Hair
I really love this one. It's the same fresh realistic strawberry of the older Strawberry Moons, with some powder and warmth from the amber. It's an amazing duo, and my one of my favorites from the recent batches of hair gloss. 5/5 -
I couldn't resist this one. It's very pure sweet chocolate. It layers so beautifully with so many options. I like to layer this with Cacao and Scorched Milk.

This is the Bourbon Vanilla from Hope and Fear, Set Free 😍 I went through two bottles of that. Very happy with how versatile this is.
-
In my hair this is a lovely sweet apple with honey. It pairs well with my lighter scents.
-
To me this orange blossom is the same one in Paramatman. Simple and clean floral. Very pretty.

A beautiful herbaceous lavender that dries down to a mild clary sage. Like someone else said this belongs in the Somnium line.
-
Like the previous poster, I love this and I don't love TKO. This is much gentler but it's still a beautiful marshmallow vanilla lavender. I love this lavender 💜

This was a surprise holy grail scent for me. This is the goat's milk I wanted but didn't get from Ghost Milk. I love love love goat's milk and this one dries down amazingly with the clove adding a little smoky depth. The goat's milk reminds me a little of my beloved long gone Nonae Caprotina. I've already burned through a quarter of my bottle, so I stocked up because I can't be without this. Major love.

I love this pumpkin, it's home-y and warm. It doesn't veer into pie territory but does has some caramel-y notes. It's more approachable than some of my other atmos. I'm contemplating a backup, it's just so cozy.
-
This is like a Goth Jack. In the bottle and straight up on the skin it's that buttery pumpkin note but with something deeper lurking beneath. The drydown has hints of pumpkin and lots of dark incense which isn't caramel-y. This never smells like pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice. It has a touch of popcorn. A spooky and quirky carnival pumpkin that ends up being mostly dark incense.
-
To my nose there's no smoke or spice in this. It's simple, pure, uncooked pumpkin flesh and sweet, warm buttercream. There's nothing discordant or sharp about it, it's very soft and comforting.

The Girl actually reminds me a lot of Bath and Body Works' brown sugar vanilla scent, except waay more sinister. I was on the fence about this one for a while. It's got the kind of appeal that makes Snow White so popular. All the aspects are so well blended and you've probably never smelled anything quite like it. I think my indecision was due to the fact that I'd get a waft and be like "That is just so God damn creepy." For such a pretty scent it squicked me out to the point where I didn't want much to do with it. It's been a couple years and I'd like to try it again. It's so hard to find though, I wish they'd bring it back next Weenie time.

Out of all the Lupers, the simplicity and elegance of this blend called to me. Wet, I can smell the currant. Dry, the white tea note is the most prominent. I can't pick out the almond blossom or rice milk, they are in the background and make the scent milky in a way that's similar to White Rabbit. All in all a lovely spring scent.
