Red musk, touch of oudh, labdanum, and it smells musky and inky. There's something smoky, and resinous labdanum underneath, and it smells like an old timey resin that has become tainted, poisoned by age and something evil. Good throw and wear length.

Inky pom, a hint of blackcurrant, and deep woods. This was a dark purple fruit with a woody background, and in the drydown you get a hint of roses and deep woodsy background, and a touch of sweet amber. For me its definitely purple-red velvet. Good throw and wear length.

Black tea, currant cake, mandrake root, a whirl of dried leaves, and hearthsmoke.

Spooky!

See how here the tulip- there the rose, By a group of bronze and marble statuaries, In the park where love frolics under trees, Sing through my nights, pink and monotonous. The flowerbeds sang at eve in joyful chords Where the moonlight’s dance is a shifting show And where, sultry and sad, their high notes go, Troubling the pure dreams of solitary birds. See how here the tulip there the rose And crystal lilies, crimson in twilight, Radiate sadly to the sun in flight That bears away from beasts and things their woes. And my ravaged love, like bleeding flesh, makes whole Its wounds and lets its madness find repose. See how the lily, tulip, and the rose Weep for the memories that wash my soul. - Emile Nelligan Ravaged love, like bleeding flesh, makes whole its wounds: lily, tulip and rose shimmering in the moonlight, brushed by a quiet autumn breeze. Soirs d'Automne is a delicate floral. I actually get a fair amount of tulip, which is exciting to me. Tulip smells like a delicate floral, buoyed by some pink rose and a brush of lily. It's definitely a pink/white floral. Great throw, great wearlength. There's a bit of vanilla musk in the drydown, I think. I'd actually give this to a young girl that wants an accessible but sophisticated floral. This would also be a gateway floral to non-BPALers who like florals but want something better and more sophisticated. This has a 'young' aspect to it which I actually really love. Gorgeous.

[No additional description provided.] Pomegranate, and lemony Embalming Fluid. This is a citrusy-pom mix for Embalming Fluid. Clean, lemony, sparkling. Good throw and wear length.

The unbridled ecstasy of a shrieking, glorious fandom bacchanal: pulsing blood orange, neroli, white sugar, and almond blossom.

A crescent glow of mugwort, white musk, lemon peel, and moonflower reflecting on a frost-limned lake.

The city in drought: dust and tumbleweeds, dry sage and chaparral, cactus nectar, and cinders.

Fleece spiderwebs, lavender mist, and pink carnations.

Oak wood, vanilla husk, fig meat, bamboo reeds, black silk, and patchouli.

A liquid moon gliding through gaunt branches, illuminating the first quiet buds of spring: pale yellow amber and verbena, snow-covered maple and oak, a scattering of fir needles, and tiny snowdrop petals.

Warm, golden, feather-soft: orris-dusted amber, white honey, osmanthus blossom, and star jasmine.

Dead Leaves and a whiff of licorice. The licorice is not as strong as say in Black Licorice Smut, and is stronger on wet, and the Dead Leaves I feel are a heftier base than Smut is to licorice. It ends up a spicy, slightly anise Dead Leaves.

Fudgy chocolate from Lump of Coal + musk. Honestly, this has been my fave so far. The chocolate fudge note is fantastic. Good throw and wear length.

Sour bubblegum sugar and musk. This smells like Jailbait ramped up to 11. A darker, smuttier version of Jailbait. Good throw and wear length.

Okay Smut does weird things to Candy Corn. I swear this is has coffee in it. To me its coffee tinged candy corn. I mean, if that's your thing, give this a whirl. Medium throw and wear length.

Sugary licorice (super strong) and musk. Yup. If you love yourself some anise or licorice, give this a whirl. Great throw and wear length.

Smut plus pumpkin spice and a hint of pumpkin. This for me was more Pumpkin Spice Smut that straight up pumpkin. Medium throw and wear length.

Honey sugar and the musk from Smut. This is a very honeyed version of Smut. Or if O and Smut had a baby, and covered it in sugar. Medium throw and wear length.
