Okay, my experience with this is rather different. I got my bottle about a week ago, and let it sit a bit, then tried it on today. I swear, it smells like deep chocolate incense! It's definitely beautifully chocolatey, there's a wee whiff of baked goods about it, but it's also got a sort of burnt note that, on closer sniff, smells incensey to me! So odd! I like it very much, but I'm not sure how often I'll wear it!

What puck_nc said about white patchouli! I love it in all its dirty hippie variations, and Yucca Giant Skipper is lovely. Definitely predominant, but sweet and it fades over a few hours to nothing. Not that lingering scent (that I love ) that may be too much for some people. Maybe look for decants of a few different ones? Good luck!

VERONICA: HER BATH Frankincense, Damask rose, red sandalwood, ylang ylang, and oakmoss. This is the most wonderful scent! Mostly, I get frankincense and rose, but it's SO GOOD! Rose lovers unite! It's lovely in the bath, just the faintest bit of oil, but enough that you know it's there. I double-checked to see if the perfume was like this, but, alas! It's not. Loved it. Got a bit in a decant circle, went back for an order.

This...this is amazing! I get the lovely patchouli, rounded by the cocoa. Tobacco comes through on the dry down. I don't get much vanilla at all, and I've worn this several times already. I love patchouli, but was afraid this was going to be like Banshee Beat, which I've tried a couple of times and had to wash off. When I got this last week, I too was getting the strong, woodsy, almost medicinal patch. Warning to those who've already swapped it away: mine has settled down at an unheard-of rate, and is now a MUCH gentler beast! I opened my backup bottle to double check, and it's true: it's already mellowed into more gorgeousness! LoveLoveLove this one!! Resisting the urge to get more!

This is the 2006 version. Soft, lovely incense. I think mostly myrrh, with a little frankincense spiciness in the background. I don't get currents or cake per se (which is good, because me + currants = not so good), but there is a definite, gently foody sweetness. The extreme drydown on me is musky. I'm really liking this one, probably not for every day, but I'm glad I swapped for a bottle!

Maybe convo the TAL shop on etsy?

I love this! It starts out very cakey. There's a bit in the middle that reminds me of Beaver Moon, and the dry down is a bit like Midway. It's not very bright, and the throw is not huge, but it's just gorgeous. I bought 4 bottles (2 were gifts for foody friends!), and when I make my Weenie bottle order, I may get another!

I did that once. Just send them an email explainng & give them your forum name that way. They are wonderfully understanding!

Let me say first that I think this is absolutely gorgeous! However, it seems my experience is rather different from many reviewers. On me, this starts out floral-y. In trying to figure out what it reminded me of, I finally came up with Winter Maiden bath oil! (Which I LOOOOOVE!) So, good! It's drying down now, about a half hour later, into the creamy, vanilla-y sandalwood that people mentioned. Slight throw, very light, at least on this first wearing. But gorgeous! Wonderful!

This stuff is pure love!!! In the bottle it smells like O's spicy older sister. As soon as I put it on, though, I recognize the spice: on me, this is O over Snake Oil! Yummmmmm!!! Better yet, as it fades...well, it doesn't fade so much as morph. And by the time a couple of hours have past, it's vanilla single note over the barest whisper of Snake Oil!! This is an immediate Top 5, no question. LoveLoveLove!!

This is really lovely stuff. In the bottle and when first on, it reminds me of O. But almost as soon as I put it on, it began to remind me of something. After awhile, it came to me: this is almost exactly like The Girl on me, but in a stronger version! Lovely, lingering all day, it's almost gone, but I still get a waft every now and then.

I like this. It reminds me of Enyalios, which I love. It's earthy, and a bit incensy. I can pick out the frankincense, and it's grounded by the patchouli. No mint that I can detect. There's very little throw - it stays close. The musk is there, lingering even the next morning. I think this will age well, I'm glad I got a bottle!

Mmmmm..... My favorite of the fuzzies is Miss Lupescu, and this reminds me of it. Werepuppy is a touch gentler, on me it's buttery, and I swear I get cinnamon initially. Yummy!!

Okay - this is gonna sound crazy, but you want me to be honest, right? I agree that this is a huge morpher, but I've worn this now for 2 days straight, and if I had to describe it, I would say: for most of the wearlength, from arms-distance, I get that gorgeous creamy vanilla/tobacco scent that's in Black Lace. Huffing at close range, I get plummy/musky/grapey that reminds me totally of Sugar Moon! I LOVE this stuff!!! Ditto the tentacles!! ETA: what I meant, not what I said!

Absolutely delicious! I wasn't holding my breath thinking I was going to love this one, but I do. Last night, wearing it before rechecking the description, my impression was Beaver Moon '05, with more cake. The drydown on me is very vanilla. Trying to decide if any of the big 3 background scents is really discernable, but I'm going to say not really. What it is, really, is delicious!

When I got mine today, I could smell the cinnamon & sugar before I sprayed it. And it is GOOD!! I actually bought this thinking it was a perfume, and I have to say, it would be a great one. The Samhain blends so deliciously with the cinnamon & sugar, it's amazing!

I bought a bottle of this on a (slightly expensive!) whim. Looooooooooove!!!!!!! It does start out rather tart and green, absinth-y. But always, there's a gorgeous creamy note behind it. The tartness fades slowly, and I'm left with that lovely creamy note, a slight herbal note, and the gorgeous, gorgeous honey note. It's a big, full, roll-around-in-it scent. I'm not aware of the musk until the next morning, when it's still on my skin after everything else has faded, but it's to die for!!!! SOO beautiful! Honey lovers, if you can track down some of this, it's well worth it.

I should start this by saying I'm not a huge fan of the original Strawberry Moon, but... I really like this alot! In the bottle, it's perfection! Sweet, but not cloying. I don't get the candy scent at all - I get a very fresh, very natural scent. I was initially sort of disappointed when it disappeared almost immediately on my skin. It gets green rather quickly. It's not a heavy green, though - maybe that's the dandelion other folks have mentioned. In the long run, it stays a fresh green with a faint sweet strawberry undertone. If you'd described it to me, I probably would not have thought I'd like it as much as I do. And I do! I really, really do!! Also, LOVE the label art! <3

Okay, I may be crazy, but wet on my skin, this smells exactly like Johnson's Baby Shampoo! I'm sorry. It's not unpleasant, but on me, it's unmistakeable. By about the 10 minute mark, I get lemons. Sort of soapy, cleaning liquid lemons. Then it fades until by about the 20 minute mark (now), I get a faint hint of Johnson's again, and it's almost entirely gone. How odd!

Thick Turkish coffee spiked with whiskey, with a little bit of mocha to soften the bitterness. This one is so interesting. In the bottle, it's gorgeous, bitter, strong coffee. And whiskey. Once I put it on, though, it's all about the throw! On my skin, it quickly goes to a burny coffee grounds sort of scent, but the throw is still lovely coffee, and now I get a chocolate note! It's REALLY beautiful, but I fight the urge to wash it off! Does that make sense? I know, not really. Glad I have a decant, but I guess I'll leave it at that.

I LOOOOVE this Thirteen! It is the most happy-making scent ever! Okay, after thinking about it and checking the scent description, I do get a bit of woods. But really, this one is like eating a cherry Tootsie Pop in a hippie store! I don't know how else to explain it! But it makes me smile! And the label is amazing!!

Cheesecake and cupcakes, yo! This is Beaver Moon 2005 resurrected! I have to say that my daughter is a total BM 05 freak, but I was never tempted, because I don't care for the "cheesecake-y" note. I got a decant of this just to check out, though, and was trying to figure out why I love it! I figured it out last night: I get strawberry Midway!! Ab-so-lute-ly deeeelicious!!! Goin' back for a bottle!!

Mmmm....I get amber and almond, sweet and almost powdery, but gorgeous. The dry down goes to something deeply sweet and spicy under the amber/almond. I'm thinking those "strange spices"? And it lasts a good 6 hours on me. Love it, love it, love it!! Already sent for a bottle!

I like this. At first it's a very Juicy Fruit scent, then it deepens. It stays a deep, sweet berry for awhile, but then it morphs into Yankee candle. I still like it, but I don't think it works for me as a perfume. I think I bought the candle, and I like it as a room scent, but as perfume it's not doing it for me. ETA: I posted this, and looked at the review above mine, and sariasister nailed it! Red jello! (And I love red jello, but not as a personal scent!)

Okay, the imp definitely says Rakshasa, and I was SO looking forward to sandalwood and patchouli. So why do I get straight Lemon Pledge??? No - not kidding. Lemon Pledge. A weensy bit of patchouli lurking behind. Must find another imp...
