Grapefruit, milky coconut, and amber musk on me. This one codes as "milky fruits" to me, and its both oddly tropical and not at the same time. Fruitier than I expected, creamier than I expected. Medium throw and wear length. Surprise sleeper hit if you ask me.

Why has no one review this? This one is a resinous fig blend. If you wanted a mainly fig blend on a bed of resins, look no further. Medium throw but good wear length. If you're a fig lover, give this a whirl.

Salty wood. As it dries, I get more of the smoky dark vetiver lurking in the background, but its mainly a cypress blend on me. Very gender-neutral to masculine. Medium throw and wear length.

Fruity milk. This smells like fruity rice milk. The mango is an overlay over the milky rice. Medium throw and wear length. This makes me crave sticky rice with mango. If you wanted that in a perfume (sans the coconut), this is it. Medium throw and wear length.

Cucumber fresh and heavy on wet, and as it dries you get a whiff of tomato leaf to me. Overall, this is very clean and green. Very cooling. Great for the summer. Average throw and wear length. This is one of those blends that will be better now than aged. So use it up!

For those of you that were afraid of the agarwood, I would say that it isn't present. I get mainly osmanthus, which to me smells like a fruity sweet floral. There's a note of woodiness, which should be a sigh of relief for those of you that were worried about the oudh, which sort of grounds the floral. Moderate throw and wear length.

Anyway, here’s a perfume dedicated to Lilith making banana bread that she didn’t even taste.

Welcome home, Peanut. This is the scent of Lilith’s joy the very first time she held you (minus the barf you splattered all over Lilith on the ride home): honey, warm cinnamon, sweet almond, myrrh, and fig cream.

A cold scent, a severing: silver-frosted white musk, juniper, and cade with bitter carrot seed, lemon peel, davana, and white tea.

Ozone, white sandalwood, eucalyptus, camphor, crystallized white amber, verbena, oakmoss, clary sage, and a hint of white citrus rind.

No additional scent description.

[No additional description provided.] This one is definitely a morpher! On wet, it's mainly dark chocolate and red fruits. As it dries, the red pepper flakes come out and add a spiciness to the blend. It dries down to a pimento-topped red fruit blend. Spicy. In some ways, this reminds me to dragon's blood. I could see the Queen of Mereen being into this. Medium throw and wear length.

Hay absolute, tall grasses, dry honey, mallow, cardamom, amber, oat cakes, and wheat.

Quies is an oil crafted to help give you space to breathe and rest. It is an oil of peace and solace, of gentle, firm support. There is a Solar renewing aspect to Quies, but it also possesses the regenerative, healing soft-silence of Luna. Use this oil when the world is too much, the noise is too loud, and your nerves are too raw. Quies can be worn or used in rituals of purification, peace, comfort, or emotional support. This oil contains bay leaf, angelica, palo santo, frankincense, orris butter, mallow, Roman chamomile, pink lotus, hops, and cedar.

A celestial dreamscape.

Every leaf tells a story.

Lilith's Horrible Error is a mish-mash of floral notes. I do believe it has both pink roses, jasmine, and a citrusy-floral. This is a bright burst of florals. Medium throw and wear length.

Undine Comes Into the House of the Fishermen, Henri Fuseli. Egyptian musk, kelp, white plum, sea buckthorn berry, matcha tea, champaca flower, and Moroccan jasmine. Undine is a very salty, very watery floral. I get the kelp/sea buckthorn aquatics, with hints of white flower like the jasmine, with a hint of aquatic musk (hello egyptian musk). It ends up on me smelling like a really nice aquatic, manly cologne.

So 14 years later, I can say that Cauldron Gunk's scent didn't quite make it. I get mainly some green-ish herbal but not alot. The soap itself is still great - good lather, good rinse, nice scrub. The packaging for it was some of the funnest I've ever seen in a soap. Based on the experience, I would say that Cauldron Gunk was probably best experienced within a year or two of production. 10+ years later, there's not much fragrance there.

No additional scent description.

No additional scent description. How did I miss creating this review thread? Its basically a musky cacao with a touch of icy elemi. Medium throw and wear length.

No additional scent description.

Sugary floral honey. Good throw and wear length.

Coconut lime, with a splash of coca dusting, but really its a sweet coconut lime blend. Good throw and wear length.

Clove, sandalwood, and a smidge of chocolate. This is a very clove heavy blend. Great throw and wear length.
