THIS! I just got around to testing a frimp of this and loved it - was able to get a bottle from ISOs and LOVE this! So glad I was able to find a bottle.

Straight up, powdery licorice on me.

Luna's lovely, pale face crowned by a sliver of umbral shadow and veiled by penumbral shadow: white musk, mugwort, iris, white tea, and silvered yarrow with black amber, Indonesian patchouli, fir resin, and blackcurrant. This is so gorgeous. I always worry about tea notes and don't usually do well with most lunar oils, but this is so pretty. Thin, clear oil not heavy or resiny, you can smell the tea but it's blended so well I can't pick out notes. Light floral and very light on the resins but it has that lunar scent (if that makes sense!) you get in the moons - it's a happy, sweet smell that reminds me of spring/summer. I think this will be popular. (ETA The dry down is soooo nice, gets more resiny, less floral)

The bottle I ordered from the lab just prior to it coming down has the regular SN label. Hmm, I ordered it right when it debuted. Weird!!

Did Ambergris have different labels? Mine is the regular SN label but I saw one posted on LJ that had a whale on it. Mine didn't have a whale.

I love this so much. Reminds me a bit of Silver Haired Bat, I don't know why, though, maybe the lightness? Sweet vanilla and there's something sharp that normally would bother me but it doesn't in this. I LOVE IT and want MORE!!!!!!! I could see this being a signature scent for me if I knew I could slather it everyday.

This is so strong and lovely! I agree with the review, very authentic and love the throw on it!

I am glad I read the reviews and sucked it up and bought this. It is just glorious!!! It's that perfect incense smell I looooove without being too dark or dirty!

WILF is nag champa-y and headshoppy to me - love it! Also, Luna Negra! I agree with everyone on URD as well. Feed Me and Fill Me With Pleasure (lupers 2013) is more patchouli - but it has that head shop smell I like. As does Smut, the last 2 yrs - though that is more musk - not so much champa. Snake Charmer has that new agey vibe going on to me too. Khajuraho from some yrs ago did not work on me - I wonder too, if this year's version is different?

This was strong anise on me, I hate I amp anise so much!!

I have to quote you because I feel the same way. OMG this is SO GOOD. I am so happy I bought 2 bottles unsniffed. And I may get another 1 or 2 before it goes down. It reminds me of Goblin but dirtier and sexier. LOVE!!!

Mine is too, if not more! It looks so cool when you roll the bottle, I hadn't even noticed until I read this thread the other day! Honestly though, rolled or not, the scent is the same on me. Sweet, custardy, with light chocolate, some floral, and something sharp that reminds me a little of Lilith Vs the Giant Crab. I like it but that sharp stage I don't.

I am awful with notes. But this is dark, resiny almost incense like heaven to me! It's a heavy scent, I think I'd wear it for a night out, maybe not so much during the day as it's quite strong on me and could possibly offend those who don't like earthy/resiny blends. It's super smooth, not sweet, but not sharp or dry either. VERY NICE!!!!

I get this, first applied. I get the cherry later, almost boozy, on top of the popcorn.

I ordered an imp of this on a whim from a decant circle. When I tried it, I didn't expect to love it, but I do! To me it's the same creaminess that Love's Philosophy has, with real, soft (think snow covered) apple (not fake smelling at all!!), no harsh cream cheese/cake note, and a dash of cinnamon. Luckily my imp and bottle I found on the forum are not amping/strong on the cinnamon, as I don't like it in most blends, but I love it in this one. Comforting and yummy. Win!

This is bright and gorgeous and just what I needed since most of my atmos except Snow White are of the dark/thick and resinous sort. This is light and just uplifting and pretty. So glad I had an angel to get me a bottle at NYCC.

This smells almost exactly like Lush's Middle Earth soap without the mud! My nose may be off, but I swear I smell strong vetiver in this. Earthy and lovely!

I find this super masculine - pretty, but isn't standing out a lot to me. I'd rather someone give it the love it deserves, esp. as it was so limited, it seems, so am going to swap it.

I agree with Witch Dance, also Spellbound!!! ETA If you can find WILF it has a nice champaca note in it. And The Orgy is very pretty too. And if you like patchouli, you must try Goblin.

These are all delicious!!! I love the tin too!

joyfulgirl, I must have gotten some from the same batch as yours. I feel like your description mirrors my experience except I get no fruit or sense of sweet, red or candy in this, just bam, in your face dark, STRONG pumpkin and some spice. Like so strong it burned my nose strong.

Ohhh I have to ask, how many bottles were you trying to buy???

I rarely like leather, but this is gorgeous! Not sure if it's something I might reach for, but there's something really different and dark about it. I love the peek of sweetness that's waffling from my wrist too.

Sadly (this is the 2012) I amp tea notes (and one reason I can't wear Dorian as much as I'd love to), so I get mainly dry tea from this. The dry down after a half hour is a pretty, though indescribable scent, but I am not picking up the musk or the sweetness/pinkness in this that some WCers mentioned. Off to swaps, but glad I got to try this one.

I agree with the post above, this is musky/fuzzy goodness, and on the sweet side, which is how I like musks. It reminds me a lot of Elephantine Colossus without the bit of sharpness that one had on me or almost like a sweeter, grapier WILF. Truly gorgeous - if you like musk, you must try this!
