Green, smoky, tinge of weed and leather. It's actually a green/brown leather blend. Masculine. Good throw and wear length.

It was toward the close of the fifth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained his thousand friends at a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence. Opulent golden oudh, red benzoin, and bitter almond. A very strong almond on wet, and it dries down to a golden oudh and resin blend. Medium throw and wear length.

She is the guardian of her people, the spirit of war, the spinner of fate, and the blood-hot sweetness of victory in battle. A chorus of crows descending on a shadowed battlefield: dusky patchouli, bone-white Hojari frankincense, rose thorns, rue, and mugwort. Dusty patchouli, frankincense, and a whiff of herbs. This one smells dark, dusky, and inky. I wouldn't wear this for perfume purposes but its a very raven-type blend. If you're a devotee, I would probably encourage you to find this. Medium throw, but GREAT wear length. I put this on about seven hours ago and its still going strong.

Honeyed gardenia and iris. Mainly gardenia. Great throw and wear length.

Grass, bamboo, and a whiff of moss. This smells like fresh, clean bamboo. Good throw.

Jasmine, rosewood, and purple musk. This smells like a rich redolent musky jasmine and rosewood blend. Great throw.

Slightly sweet lemon candy, hint of musk. Good throw and wear length.

Honey, strawberries and a whiff of pink pepper. If you love honeyed strawberries, give this a whirl.

Fresh clean white tea and amber. Very fresh. Great throw.

I mainly get clove, leather, woody. It's this smoky clove, very masculine. Good throw and wear length.

Candy sweet strawberry floss dries down to strawberries and a whiff of dandelion sap. Medium throw and wear length.

Coconut meat and a whiff of orris. It's mainly a cool, buttery coconut.

This honey is the same type that the Lab seems to be using lately and its lush and rich. There's a bit of patchouli at the bottom, but mainly this is a rich honey.

Lemony gin! This smells like bright fizzy lemon gin.

Ugh, this is the grapefruit of my dreams. Zingy delicious grapefruit. Juicy. Love this.

Ugh, dusky clove and a whiff of smoky sandalwood. LOVE THIS. Perfect for adding more clove into a blend. LOVE.

White and yellow roses, violet silk, Himalayan cedarwood, mandarin, white musk, carnation, and dried red currants. I'm actually surprised at how lovely this is. I get tender pale roses, touch of violet, musk, and whiffs of both carnation and red currants. The overall effect is a silken floral, very elegant and regal. This is like draping yourself in a silk kimono - its rich, luxurious, and beautiful in an understated way. Absolutely stunning.

Smoky and expensive orchid. With a touch of agarwood. There's something dangerous in this, like a femme fatale. Would pair well with Nimue the Blood Queen, Rights of Women, and the Crown Hair Gloss. You know, for the time you need to do your best Charlize Theron impersonation as the Evil Queen in Snow White and the Huntsman.

Spicy carnation with a heavy honeyed edge. I get more carnation than honey, but you get both, and it's rich, spicy, and decadent.

Creamy fluffy marshmallows with a touch of honey. If you wanted to frolic in marshmallow fluff, this one is it.

Honeyed leather and a whiff of tobacco. Honestly, I am enjoying this one more than I thought I would. But yes, honeyed leather. Smells rich and sort of deadly. Could be great on a strong woman, or man, to be honest. Just expect to be ridden hard by whoever it is once they're done with that book of theirs.

Red musk, sugary patch and a whiff of cream. For you red musk lovers out there.

Shining gold, spice, and just a touch of blood. This smells like a crown that is spiky enough to use to defend yourself against any attackers. It's golden, warm metal, and deadly. LOVE IT. Mr. zee_zee told me I smelled dangerous.

This one is a musky, clean tobacco, with a whiff of gunpowder underneath. I gave a sample to my bearded coworker, and he approves. In fact, he really enjoys how it smells and will be acquiring more. Said bearded coworker also proto-tested the Jareth beard oil I believe. The oils are conditioning, absorb quickly, and smell great.

Patchouli, tonka, tobacco, and a whiff of vanilla. This one is darker but clean patchouli blend. Good throw and wear length.
