Lemon Scented Sticky Bat is that you? It smells like a sour lemon sugar with musk (instead of fur). Great throw and wear length.

This starts off with a strong candy apple scent, and then dries down to a very musky apple sugar blend on me. Good throw and wear length.

This one is a very soft floral HG - I definitely get fresh crisp violets and a green tea accent. It's light, spring-like, but doesn't really hold up in my hair. Decent throw, but low wear length.

Psst! – let’s talk about mom. Lilith and I talking about Beth behind her back (in front of her face!) in a café in Berlin. Coffee beans, leather, honey, and warm winter cookies.  Hello coffee! In this one, I would definitely say that coffee is the star. It has a tinge of sweetness to it, and a touch of honey. But overall, I am amping up the coffee in this. This one is the coffee blend for me.

This is a Cobwebby exclusive from back in 2012, and it's been six years and no one seems to have reviewed it. And since there were a few bottles on Etsy, I went ahead and grabbed it. Burial v2 starts off with a very smoky vetiver note, which calms down substantially. I get dirt... and HOLY HELL BATMAN, I am getting the same weird grapefruit note that I get from Capricorn 2004. Capricorn 2004, which is almost impossible to get your hands on, and it starts off as a weird woody blend that MAGICALLY BECOMES GRAPEFRUIT ZEST on my skin and I think it may be the aged cedar. In other words, if you age cedar for 10+ years, the citrus notes in the cedar transform to a strange grapefruit-like scent that just sort of stays around. Dirt, grapefruit dust, and cedar. Yup. So, I'm off to go score my own whole bottle.

"What the hell is that?" asked Shadow, but Wednesday touched his finger to his lips, shook his head sharply. Silence. It looked like a mechanical spider, blue metal, glittering LED lights, and it was the size of a tractor. It squatted at the bottom of the hill. Beyond it were an assortment of bones, each with a flame beside it little bigger than a candle-flame, flickering. Dark metal and sour grapefruit creeping over a field of bones. Greasy metal, tinge of bruised grapefuit, and something that smells like it should be a bone shard. This one is dark, electrical, and yet kinda oozy. It's a gender neutral, with heavy chemical undertones. Not my type of blend at all.

Warm red wine spiced with cinnamon sticks, cardamom, vanilla beans, clove, lemon and orange rind, bay leaf, and honey.

A dribble of pumpkin spice spilled onto a fluffy orange angora sweater.

Tulsi and attar. This smells vaguely Indian/Pakistani, and I think its the tulsi. It smells very gender neutral and soft. Medium throw and wear length.

I mainly get olive blossom and moss. This smells like the green vines that make their way onto trees. It smells heavily of olive blossom to me. Good throw and wear length.

Mint, green apple, vegetable musk and a whiff of the tropics. This smells like it should be the Philippines. Good throw and wear length.

Tobacco, iron and a whiff of pine. This smells manly and piney. Good throw and wear length.

Creamy white roses. There's an ethereal quality to it, but also sort of vampy? It's definitely a more unique white rose blend than I expected. Good throw and wear length.

I mainly got incense and whiff of apple peel. It's like a golden incense blend, slightly smoky, and apple blossom. Good throw and wear length. More feminine than Morphine.

Soft brown musk, black peppercorn, tobacco absolute, hiba wood, and cognac. Furry tobacco and cognac musk. I get hints of the peppercorn and wood. Honestly, this reminds me to Tanuki no Kanban, in the sense that its "furry tobacco nuts". You know, if nuts smoked classy tobacco and drank cognac. I think I just described the yuppie Wall Street Financiers. Great throw and wear length. Because, you know, nuts are loud.

An oil dedicated to Beloved Hestia, to the Lady of the Undying Hearthfire. May she keep peace in your home and your community, may she grant you and your household perpetual succor, and may she bring safety and peace to your home, your community, your city, and your country. Barley, crushed fossilized red amber, organic bay laurel essential oil (Laurus nobilis), organic angelica essential oil and pulverized root (Angelica archangelica), basil essential oil (Ocimum basilicum), green cardamom pods and cardamom essential oil (Elettaria cardamomum), steam-distilled organic thyme essential oil (Thymus vulgaris ), organic saffron threads (Crocus sativus), frankincense essential oil (Boswellia carteri) and tears (Boswellia sacra), and a harvest of herbs from the TAL garden: basil (Ocimum minimum), bay leaves (Laurus nobilis var. Crestwood), Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare hirtum), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), dill (Anethum graveolens), and thyme (Thymus vulgaris and Thymus zygis).

[No additional description provided.] On wet, you get a buttery pumpkin smell with something lurking underneath. As it dries, the burnt smoky weediness comes through and OMG this smells like if you were smoking pot, someone knocks on the door and you desperately grab the nearest air frangrancer which happens to be a generic autumn potpourri that somehow JoAnn Fabric seems to pump out into its store as aggressively as whatever the hell kind of fragrance Abercombie and Fitch pumps out into the mall. Or, alternatively, this is someone smoking pot in a JoAnn Fabric. Great throw, btw.

Fairly antisocial as bats go, Western Bonnie sticks to colonies of less than a hundred other bats. A girl needs her privacy, you know. Butterscotch tobacco. Butterscotch laced with tobacco. A yup. This one is sweet sugary butterscotch supported by some brown chewy tobacco. This will age to a sugary tobacco mess. Good throw and wear length. Which means, if you like sugar or tobacco, GO GET IT.

Peach cream, white sandalwood, and honey.

Rosewood, agarwood, rooty patchouli, spicy mahogany, nutmeg, and saffron.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second reindeer say, Come and see. And there went out another snowman that was red: and power was given to him to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. Blood-soaked snow, ice-rimmed steel, red tobacco, crushed strawberries, and red licorice. The oil is very red. It's mainly a strawberry tobacco musk with a whiff of snow and sugar (which I am assuming is the red licorice). It's actually much more approachable than I thought. I am mainly amping up the strawberry and the tobacco. It's a sweet, red, blend on me. Good throw and wear length.

Little Kid Stompy Boots: leather, dust, lavender oil, wood chips, and grass.

Sharp and cynical: bitter mimosa, smoky opoponax, Oman frankincense, French beeswax, and linden blossom.

Also seen just as "Tea Leaves". This one is a light tea, either green or white, and citrusy. I swear I am sniffing also some fresh green dandelions? I definitely get the green stem sap smell along with the tea. It dries down to a clean, little old lady soap but on wet, it's absolutely delightful. If you're looking for a fresh, clean floral with tea, I'd give this a try.
