Clean sage, with maybe a bright citrusy edge. But yeah, if you were looking for a very clean sage blend, look no further. Good throw and wear length.
-
All the plum, and maybe a whiff of vanilla. Yup. All the plum. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Cacao + oud as described, however the monster throw in this is something people should note. The cacao is dry, (not sweet), and the oudh is well behaved.
-
Pumpkin cheesecake, hints of chocolate and cherry. Oddly peanut buttery? I mean, who complains about that? Medium throw and wear length.
-
*squint* Dead Leaves, is this you? This smells as if Dead Leaves and Graveyard Dirt had a baby. Dirt + leaves. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Lemony incense. Huh. Okay. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Extra resinous smoky Snake Oil. If there's Maiden in here, it definitely got overpowered by both Snake Oil and Hellfire. Resins, smoke, and Snake Oil. It's like Snake Oil went to mass... black mass. Good throw and wear length.
-
This just ends up in smoky green tea. Like if you mixed lapsang tea + gunpowder green tea. Smoky. Good throw and wear length.
-
Resinous powdery sugar. I think Lust + Darkness ends up in a powdery musk on me, with myrrh shining through, and a bunch of sweet sugar from Midway. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Rogue put on a tougher leathery jacket, but somewhere between meeting up with everyone and getting dressed got throw into a chocolate bath. Which seems on par for a Rogue's life, and maybe an occupational hazard? Anyway, a chocolate leathery Rogue. Mediumm throw and wear length.
-
Green herbs and sugar. Honestly, this is the less Sugar Cookie blend of them all. It's like sugary green herbs, and more like Absinthe's little sister? You know, not full hard core into hallucinogenics, but rather into a mood-altering softening, so softer, gentler, but the family resemblance is there.
-
Super sugary Sugar Cookie. As advertised. If you ever wanted Sugar Cookie to douse itself in even more sugar, the Lab has obliged. You want sugar? You want cookies? You want to rot your teeth by smelling a perfume? It's that kind of trifecta. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Sugary Snow White. For me I really get much much more almond and sugar in this, so sugary almond cookie? SW has never traditionally worked on my skin, and this may be the first version that does, and smells like a more sugary version of the Snow White atmo, which is one of my favorite atmo sprays ever. Would consider a bottle. Good throw and wear length.
-
In this one, I get no sugar but a mega hit of vanilla. So I end up with vanilla and red roses, which frankly smells more like it would be a Lupercalia blend. So if vanilla roses is something you're hankering for, look no further. Good throw and wear length.
-
Sugar Cookie definitely softens Satyr up, so you end up with a sweet musk. That's it. It's a soft, skin musk, and frankly this may be my favorite SC variant. If Satyr was too much, this is a gentler sweeter cousin. Good throw and wear length, and I think this would absolutely layer well with others.
-
This to me definitely codes more to a salty floral + brown sugar. It's sort of strange because the salt seems to bring out floral notes and I just don't know. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Sugary snake oil. Friends, I am not the audience for this blend at all, and for me its a sweeter version of SO, which has been known to do bad, terrible, unspeakeable things with my skin chemistry. So don't let this review be your guide. Great throw and wear length, because of course, horror amplification is absolutely a thing.
-
Smoky incense and burnt caramelized sugar. It's a sweeter incense than normal. If that's what you're looking for, this one scratches that itch. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Roma Invicta, or something: oakwood, vanilla bean, and sugar cookies.
-
No additional scent description.
-
A scent of the silence before absolute doom, or the quiet sigh exhaled on the edge of hope: black plum, lavender, narcissus, night-blooming jasmine, lemon peel, labdanum, and white moss.
-
Clove-tinted blood drops, sweet aged patchouli, fig milk, and red amber.
-
Vetiver, opoponax, licorice root, black tea, lemon peel, and cashmere wood.
-
Somalian frankincense, verbena, neroli, and a waft of rose-tinted incense.
-
Fuzzy brown tonka bean, golden amber, bergamot, nutmeg, and petitgrain.
