Little Bird

This smells like what I imagine it would be like to somehow set PineSol on fire. A very chemical, sharp pine with ash and smoke. Fireplace Cinders smells very harsh, sharp and sour on my skin.

I was expecting orange and clove, but I don't get any spiciness from this scent. It's powdery and tart, reminding me of orange flavored sweet tarts. Very artificial. I don't like this one at all.

The beeswax is creamy, waxy, and turns rather powdery on me in the drydown (the dust?), smelling warm and honeyed. The olive oil, I think, is adding a bright, almost fruity tone on my skin. I like beeswax mixed with earthier/woodsy notes, but it's a little too simple and the olive oil is strange on me here.

I had high hopes for this one after reading all of the bold notes listed for it, but it's mostly a sour sort of red musk with some herbal tones to it. I don't get vanilla, tobacco, leather or myrrh. Maybe some sour red rose mixed with the red musk and herbal notes. A little smoky in the drydown.

Soapy aquatic with sour, green moss and spring floral dryer sheets. Sort of reminds me of a soapier, more floral version of Bayou.

This is all tobacco flower on me, which is a bpal note that I hate. It's like a dry, sharp, white floral that turns really soapy on my skin.

Lemony green tea and a watery, crisp, refreshingly green cucumber note. I want to drink this or bathe in it at a spa or both. I agree with reviews saying that Rendezvous is in the same family as Shanghai and Embalming Fluid. I don't really get any mint from this, but it does have a cool, crisp feel to it. I don't wear clean/tea/green type scents very often, but I'll keep my decant of this one.

On me, this is mainly a creamy gardenia scented soap. The orchid makes it kind of perfumey/musky smelling on me in the drydown, where it's a mix of tropical floral (definitely gardenia as the main player on my skin), perfumey white floral, and creamy white soap scent.

This is very pretty on me at first; I just wish that I could get rid of the sharp, perfumey iris that dominates the drydown. The white leather and amber are soft, slightly powdery, almost buttery smelling on my skin initially. Suede-like. The violet and coconut come in sweetly floral and a little creamy. And then the iris pops up and takes over in the drydown, making the whole thing too floral and too sharp for me. Iris often smells like cheap, chemical-y white musk, and it's doing that to me here. Sharply perfumey.

I was hoping for buttery crust and gooey apple filling, but this is a lot of cinnamon on my skin and a very fresh, perfumey apple smell. Dries down like an apple cider scented candle.

Pecan Pie goes straight to generic spice candle smell on my skin sharp cinnamon and nutmeg type of scent.

These are all a mix of sweet & clean, popular, and fairly easy to wear: Alice, Cheshire Cat, Dana O'Shee, Dorian, Embalming Fluid, Lyonesse, Mouse's Long & Sad Tale, Roses Pearls & Diamonds, Tamora. If you're interested in actual foodie/gourmand scents: Bliss, Cockaigne, Drink Me, Eat Me, Shub-Niggurath, Miskatonic University, Stimulating Sassafras Strengthener... And Dirty is the literal clean laundry scent in the catalogue. Sea of Glass is also a beautiful clean fragrance.

I think that I don't like galbanum. It often smells weirdly green and reminiscent of Pine-Sol on my skin. Bitter and pine-y. I usually enjoy black pepper, but I find it off-putting with the bitter green and sour, musky ambergris here. The drydown is a little smoky and a little powdery from the sandalwood. I find this to be a bitter, sharp, spiky sort of fragrance, where I tend to wear sweeter, smoother blends.

Starts off as a cherry blossom scented soap. It smells breezy, clean, creamy, floral, and a bit sweet. After about a half hour, though, it's all laundry soap powder and loses the creamy blossoms and sweetness, and then I don't care for this at all.

Men's cologne feel, soft mint, and a watery, cool white musk. Clean and sharp. I don't get any coconut or sweetness from this, personally. Drydown is like a watery type, musky men's cologne.

This is a jumbled, soapy mess on my skin. It's a harsh, disinfectant sort of soapy with dirty, smoky undertones and a weird, green, honeyed floral something? But mostly soap.

This is a really beautiful perfume, and such a sweet concept. The lavender is soft, creamy and herbal, mixed with sappy green leaf and a bit of a crunchy, earthy, dead leaf smell. Cool (like a chilly breeze) and outdoorsy.

Buttery, salty popcorn and a little bit of sweet, fruity sugar from the jelly beans. I like popcorn and buttery scents, so I enjoy this one a lot

Strangely dry and dusty, like the way heater vents smell in old houses when you first turn on the heat for the winter. And tons of very sweet, very dry smelling, perfumey white sugar. The coffee, I guess, adds a toasty, brown warmth, but I wouldn't be able to identify the coffee if I wasn't actively searching for it. This is a dusty, strange, chemical sugar scent on me.

Muddy Puddles turns so plasticy on my skin. It's like chocolate brownies fragrance oil that turns to powdered chocolate mix in the drydown, and an overwhelming melting plastic scent. I was sad that there wasn't any dirt/mud tone to this one either, as I enjoy earthy chocolate blends.

This is like opening one of those canned peach in syrup things.. sort of a fresh, watery peach with syrupy sweetness. As it dries down, I get some pie spices (cinnamon-clove-ish), but not really any butter, and this actually isn't as sweet as I would have liked on my skin. The peach goes a little sour/plasticy on my skin.

I don't smell any cream or vanilla from this, and the blueberry is a very syrupy, candied one. Blueberry hard candy and a cinnamon-buttery pie crust. Kind of cloying and the spices are a little sharp on my skin.

I strongly prefer Dragon's Milk for a dragon's blood, cream and honey fragrance. Dragon's Boner is more soapy, watery and floral on me than foodie. I don't smell any honey or cream in this. It did remind me to buy a backup of Dragon's Milk, though.

The Magician has kind of a generic men's cologne smell to it. It's pleasant and a good smell, but sort of nondescript and reminiscent of department store colognes for me. Sort of a warm wood and dry amber with slight spiciness, covered in a fresh, citrusy, bright, metallic, musky cologne thing.

On me, this smells like dried rose petals thrown into some sort of 'spring' scented laundry soap powder. A very soapy rose scent.
