Palus Putridinis, my guess, does not work for everyone, especially with the vetiver and cumin. Thankfully, both of them seem to be in check. I mainly get vanilla, clove, patchouli, and a touch of leather. It toggles between darkly sexy and then being a masculine animalistic sort of blend. This will require further testing.

Juke Joint is definitely teal/turqouise with a ton of microglitter - gold and green it it. It's electric, jelly, and just beautiful. I'll edit this review to add pictures later. It's beautiful teal with sparkles. Love it.

Wolf's Heart smells sort of piney at the beginning to me, but then it has dried down to spices and a touch of linden. I needed a little boost today, and Wolf's Heart was just the ticket. Will edit this review with more details later. ETA: Wolf's Heart for the win. Because sometimes having courage is really hard. Really hard.

Timber for Bones and Windows for Eyes Atmosphere Spray
zankoku_zen replied to absinthetics's topic in Atmosphere
Spicy wood, hint of dirt, and inky shadows. Ominous wood. -
Heady jasmine + Belle Epoque. This is a jasmine version of Belle Epoque for me. I get a ton of jasmine, and something that smells very Belle Epoque like, if you had jasmine instead of lilies. In other words, very Art Nouveau.
-
Metal, motor oil lubricant and a touch of wood and powdery amber. Overall though, this is metallic and gritty oil, with some wood and amber to sort of sweeten it up. What garages should smell like. It still smells like a garage. But better.
-
Pumpkin, cupcake and a dribble of cheesecake. This one was primarily pumpkin, with a swirl of cupcake/baked goods.
-
Loads more milk chocolate than the perfume. Less pumpkin. Mainly milk chocolate/cocoa powder and a touch of pumpkin.
-
Wood, clay, and hints of dust. It's a darker, slightly more ominous, and sharper version of Miskatonic University. It's somewhat masculine to my nose.

This. I've traveled with imps before and they tend not to be an issue. I leave bottles mostly at home.

The Cemetery, Many Years Ago Atmosphere Spray
zankoku_zen replied to absinthetics's topic in Atmosphere
Snow, stone, moss and something that smells like a wispy floral. This one is actually rather pretty. And funnily enough, very apropos for the office. Smells nice, classic but pretty. -
The Elevator to me was a slightly metallic, blood musk, with a touch of clay. It smelled overall very masculine and foreboding, but definitely had a metallic edge and was musky. I really think it was blood musk in there.
-
Leathery beeswax, porcelain, and a touch of gardenias. It's sweet, innocent, and there's something terribly nostalgic about it. Also something that smells a touch powdery, which I think may be the porcelain note. If you're a fan of either beeswax or leather, give this a whirl.
-
Oh god, this smells like a masculine Belle Epoque to me. It's got that turn of the century/Art Nouveau vibe - rich details, clean lines. A grand home with lit candles and dinner. I get rum, wood, whiskey and a touch of the spicy carnation. This honest to god would make any living room smell like you're in a mansion, like Great Gatsby. Just money, class, refinement. I may have to track more of this down.

Black pepper and lily. This is so not working for me. I am amping up the black pepper and its just overwhelming everything else. SKIN CHEMISTRY FAIL.
-
Honey, vanilla, drops of rose and cubeb berries. In a lot of ways, I had already discounted this blend because of the honey and rose. I get a bright, cheery berry blend. And uhhhh.... I think I may love this. In fact, this may require more testing.

Satan Starting from the Touch of Ithuriel’s Spear
zankoku_zen replied to claudia6913's topic in Halloweenie
Carnation, amber, red musk and some smokiness. Slightly masculine, but definitely gender neutral. This one smells smoky and dominant, and the carnation just softens it up a bit. Low throw, good wear length. Musky, smoky, carnation. -
Coconut, hint of apple blossom, sandalwood and woody musk. Overall, this is a fall coconut blend. Good throw, good wearlength. Pirates get off a ship and draw pentagram in their beach hut. YUP.
-
Portal of Death does smell like Mme. Moriarty Junior. You get a sweet, dark plum, hints of patchouli but brightened by the orange blossom and candy. It's a sweet, candy like plum blend with enough 'darker' aspects to make it like a junior version of a Carnaval Diabolique atmosphere spray. Fun, playful, plum.
-
The October atmosphere smells like the October oil, which makes it a nearly-perfect crisp fall air blend. You get the leaves, the chill air, and just enough sap. It's been a dreary past couple of days with rain and cold here, which makes loving the late fall really hard. This brings some of that love back.
-
Zippy lime and orange and coconut. But then again, I amp up coconut. Fruity, fun, refreshing!
-
Dark aniseed/black licorice with just a touch of leather. I don't quite care for this much, as its a black candy with a touch of leather. Very masculine to my nose.
-
Samhain smells like.... the perfume. Dark woods, dark patchouli, dark spices brightened by pumpkin and apple. Unlike PSE which just smells like bright baked goods, Samhain smells like a walk in the woods on a cool autumn evening. You know the kind of walk where you have magic in the air, and you better watch out for those fairy rings! Darkly atmospheric.
-
Smells exactly like the perfume. I have to say that I enjoy the smell of Pumpkin Spice Everything as an atmosphere spray. It smells like glorious pumpkins, cloves, and spices. And fall, This just smells like awesome fall. Yup, I may actually need more of this.

At Midnight with a Pumpkin Light Atmosphere Spray
zankoku_zen replied to hammy's topic in Atmosphere
Pumpkin and sweet candle wax. Think of it as a pumpkin version of Light of Men's Lives. Fantastic atmosphere spray.
