I am amping the hell out of the tahitian vanilla. It is lush, sweet, and tropical vanilla. This actually is giving BBW Brown Sugar vibes. Which means that mr. zee_zee will fanboy over this. Great throw and wear length.

I mainly get a gorgeous slightly smoky sandalwood with a whiff of chocolate sweetness, but its mainly sandalwood. Medium throw and wear length.

Ylang and yalng fades into a sweet resinous patchouli. This is one of the most accessible patchouli blends I know. This patchouli as a perfume. Good throw and wear length.

Bergamot and orange blossom. It's a sharp citrus blend and then it basically disappears from my skin after 30 minutes. Medium throw, low wear length.

Smoky cocoa and a whiff of amber. It's slightly ambery, slightly sweet, and a whiff of chocolate. More wearable than I anticipated.

A holiday creation of Lilith’s! Squished strawberries and gingerbread with a touch of French vanilla and mint. Sweet strawberry candy, whiff of vanilla and gingerbread. It's a ton ton ton of strawberry candy on me. For those of you that like candy blends, give this a whirl. Good throw and wear length.

Maple cinnamon churros. I ain't mad. This one is foody, cinnamony, and doughy. Good throw and wear length.

Musk strawberries and musky vanilla. This is a sultry fruity vanilla blend. It stars off as fruity summery and dries down to a musky vanilla. Medium to good throw, good wear length.

Unclean and full of hell-fire: a pulsing infernal amber, shot through with lilac-blue, bloodshot and blazing.

Jasmine, honeysuckle, and a whiff of plum. Sweet fruity florals. Medium throw and wear length.

Neroli, amber, sweet citrus top notes. This one is mainly an orange blossom sort of blend on my skin.

Vanilla, amber, coconut and shrill tuberose. Medium throw and wear length.

Smoky soft lavender, wisteria and whiffs of iris and a bit of sandalwood. It's calming, contemplative, and a little sad. Medium throw and wear length.

Iced jasmine and white gardenia with a sliver of white musk, winter tuberose, lavender, yellow tabac, and white cedar.

How should the wind be periphrased? Thus: call it son of Fornjót, Brother of the Sea and of Fire, Scathe or Ruin or Hound or Wolf of the Wood or of the Sail or of the Rigging. A burst of wind and flame hurling over the space-dark sea: opoponax and black oudh alight with red amber, dragon’s blood resin, and neroli. Dark opoponax, salty spicy DBR, and a touch of amber. This one smells like dark thunderous sea on fire. Salty. Firey. Totally very Viking-esque. Medium throw and wear length.

A mother's unconditional love, soul-deep compassion, and destiny: date plum, myrrh, black mulberry, black poplar, black fig, cypress, cassia, and Pan's sacred pines.

Husky patchouli and bitter clove in a soap swirled with bonfire ash.

This to me is the clove soap of my dreams. Its sort of bitter and a touch of dirt, and its very subtle and I feel like the scent is sort of butch? mr. zee_zee definitely enjoyed how MANLY it seemed to smell. Again, if you remember the old school Villainess soaps, this is again just like it. Good stuff.

Literally everything. Pumpkin spice it all. This soap is gently sprinkled with traditional spices: cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, and clove.

I think I'm trying to summon Fall. This soap is again excellent. It's been curing for a year, and its still silky smooth. Smells strongly of all of those pumpkin spices, and in general just smells like a spice mix. No pumpkin, but definitely very Fall. Scents the whole shower.

No additional scent description.

Dry and husky-sweet.

Gossamer vanilla, ylang ylang, magnolia blossom, tuberose, ambrette seed, white moss, and white patchouli.

Golden amber, sandalwood rose, Kerria japonica, golden carnation, vanilla absolute, plush green mosses, orris root, and myrrh.

A vivacious carnation incense.
