    The Pale Snowman

    And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth reindeer say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale snowman: and his name was Frosty, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Not quite a jolly, happy soul. Snowballs and carrot seed, vanilla vetiver, and white incense. Piney snow, smoky vanilla incense. This one smells like a slightly more smoky and masculine Skadi actually to me. Good throw and wear length.
  2. A scent of power and wisdom, resilience and rage: a patchouli bramble embraced by creeping ivy and rose thorns, protecting a glade populated with mandrake root, yarrow and nettle, Roman chamomile, purple sage, elderberries, sweet myrrh, smoky vanilla husk, and willow branches.
  3. No additional scent description provided.

    The Black Snowman

    And when Rudolph had opened the third seal, I heard the third reindeer say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black snowman; and he had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four reindeer say, A measure of peppermint for a penny, and three measures of licorice rope for a penny; and see thou hurt not the egg nog and the gløgg. Snow soaked black with tobacco, oudh, and black magnolia. This one is the scariest Snowman to me because black magnolia turns into wet wool on me, so I'm getting a soggy wet wool with a touch of oudh and tobacco. Great throw and wear length. I actually dislike this so much, it might actually win out as the worst BPAL on my skin in a long long time. But magnolia is a super duper problematic note on my skin, so YMMV.

    Mincemeat Pie

    No minces were harmed in the making of this pie perfume. Figs, raisins, dried cherries, and suet accord (vegan-safe!) steeped in dark brown sugar, crystallized ginger, lemon and orange zest, nutmeg, allspice, and clove, embraced by an apple cider cornmeal crust. This smells strong of nutmeg, clove and allspice, with apples and raisins and hints of other fruit. In other words, this smells like mincemeat as you're making it. Delicious! For all of you apple pie lovers, give this a whirl.

    A Vigilant Eye at Heaven’s Center

    An emerald green, a verdant green, a green that is bursting with life, vitality and joy. This is the wet, bright green of wild growth: tiger fig leaf, coconut palm, neroli, mint chypre, green labdanum, green apple, jungle leaves, white amber, coriander, and tea leaf.

    Pumpkin Cookies + dead leaves. This is basically a cookie blend with a hint of dead leaves. Medium throw and wear length.

    Dead Leaves and Champagne  

    Champagne especially on wet, a note of green bellpepper and peppery leaves emerges as it dries. This one is like a celebratory Dead Leaves. Like it doused itself in champagne, sashayed and then made itself at home. Great throw on wet.

    Dead Leaves on Houseplants

    Green ivy, and a whiff of green dead leaves. This is an intensely green plant smell. I imagine this is what Poison Ivy, the DC comic character smells like. Intensely green. Medium throw and wear length.

    Dead Leaves, Blood Orange, and Dried Apricot

    Oranges, apricot, and a hint of dead leaves. Honestly, this smells like oranges and apricot, and its fruity and delicious. Yes, more please. Low throw, average wear length.

    Dead Leaves, Honeycomb, and Vanilla Butter

    Honeyed vanilla and dead leaves. This one is a sweeter version of Dead Leaves, which brings out the green underneath the sweetness of the honey and vanilla. Medium throw and wear length.

    Dead Leaves, Leather, and Pink Pepper

    Dead Leaves, sharp pink pepper to give them bite, and a whiff of leather. This one is more of Dead Leaves + something else throw in on me. The pink pepper however is gorgeous and really makes this a great and wearable Dead Leaves dominant blend. Medium throw and wear length.

    Dead Leaves, Peppercorn, and Pumpkins

    Pepper, pumpkins, and a whiff of dead leaves. But again, this combination of pepper + pumpkin smells vaguely Indian cuisine to me, and ends up in a very savory place. Medium throw and wear length.

    Dead Leaves, Roasted Almonds, and Bourbon Cream

    Roasted almonds, whiff of cream and dead leaves. This is a very foodie DL blend. In fact, the main dominant notes on me are almond and cream. Medium thro and wear length.
