    Vanilla Bean, Tuberose & Jasmine

    Soft jasmine, tuberose and vanilla. The vanilla adds sweetness to both the jasmine and tuberose, so this ends up as a soft pink floral. Good throw and wear length.

    The Kangaroo

    Nutty cinnamon, grass, moss, and in general smells warm, foodie, and golden. But yeah, mainly nutty cinnamon. Great throw and wear length.

    My Country

    Sea salt, amber and a hint of blue musk. This reminds me to the Playa Phoenix. Sort of salty, sort of beachy, sort of musky. Very gender neutral. But yeah, this is another playa blend to me. Good throw and wear length.

    No One is Above the Law

    Honestly, this is gorgeous. Creamy citrus, honey, grass, and amber. UGH. I may need more of this in my life. Good throw and wear length.

    Waltzing Matilda

    A ton of dry vanilla, whiff of grass, and figs. Good if you're into vanilla, and don't mind this not being the foodie kind. Medium throw and wear length.

    Red Patchouli, Cherry Wood & Tobacco Absolute

    This one smells like a woodier, with a touch of cherry, version of the Patchouli & Tobacco duet. Good throw and wear length. I am now going to have to death match the Patchouli & Tobacco duet and this one and see which one I like more. Good throw and wear length.

    Auriga

    This one smells like a masculine fougere. I get musk, amber resin, notes of champaca, herbs, and woods. It's definitely not just a perfume, if you ask me. I get a ton of throw from this in the first two or three hours, and it goes from a fresh green to a more woodsy green as it dries.

    I Hear You Call, Pine Tree

    Lotus root and pine needles.

    Doorway Scrub

    I mopped my house yesterday with Doorway Scrub, Clean Yer Home, and the TAL Winter Protect floorwash offered during the LA Will-Call and my house smells amazing. Doorway Scrub smells primarily of lemongrass to me. It's bright, sparkly, and fierce. Definitely a cleanser.

    Clean Yer Home

    I mopped my house yesterday with Doorway Scrub, Clean Yer Home, and the TAL Winter Protect floorwash offered during the LA Will-Call and my house smells amazing. I am going to add some Clean Yer Home to my house cleanser so that I can spray it all over my house. 10/10 would buy again. It smells mainly of rue to me.

    Songs of Autumn II

    Inspired by the terrifying red skies in the Jambi province caused by smoke haze caused by rampant slash-and-burn: red musk, burning leaves, palm oil, soot, and woodsmoke.

    Frostbitten TKO

    Snowy, extra marshmallowy almond TKO. If Snow White and TKO had a baby, this is what it would smell like. Yup. Good throw and wear length.

    And Sing, And Sing

    A perfume for my songbird: lavender and white musk with sugared tuberose and pale mosses.

    Streuobstwiese Soap

    This smells faintly of apples, white flowers and a whiff of grass. It's beautiful and I wish I had purchased it fresh. I do have to say that for a soap that is close to 10 years in age, it's still amazing. Lovely lather.

    Gingerbread & Lemon Sugar

    Lemon sugar, ginger, and a whiff of gingerbread spices. Lemon Scented Sticky Bat does Christmas Spice. Imagine if you caught LSS Bat, but with gingerbread instead of just lemon. There you have it. Good throw and wear length.

    Gingerbread & Candyfloss

    Soft cotton candy and spiced gingerbread. This is spicy cotton candy on me. Like cinnamon cotton candy. Medium throw, average wear length.

    Gingerbread, Tobacco, & Tonka

    Chewy tobacco, gingerbread spices. This is mainly a spicy gingerbread tobacco blend. It smells like good foodie chewie tobacco. Good throw and wear length.

    In Dubiis Libertas

    Blue cypress, amber, and vanilla. Out of the three, this one may be my favorite. Gorgeous vanilla wood. Good throw and wear length.

    In Omnibus Caritas

    Honey, vanilla, and marshmallow. This one smells sweet and golden. Medium throw and wear length.

    In Necessarias Unitas

    Aquatic honeyed wood. This smells like patch, oakmoss, and a whiff of honeyed wooden oudh. Surprisingly wearable. It's a good aquatic wood blend. Good throw and wear length.

    Black Haus

    Relying on notes here because I apparently tested this but forgot to actually write a review. I wrote down lavender, oudh, and leather. Yup. There you have it.

    The Flame of the Bear

    Bright berries, pine, and a whiff of sunshine. UGH, again, this strikes me as a TAL blend. Fresh evergreens, bright winter sunshine, and lovely berries. This is the sweetness of the winter season in a bottle. Good throw and wear length.

    Sitzmark

    This smells like hot chocolate with Kahlua, and a whiff of marshmallows. It's a lovely hot chocolate blend. Good throw and wear length.
