Watery violets and a whiff of dry woods. It's mainly a very soft violent blend with a backbone of blonde woods. Low throw and wear length.

Pale narcissus, and another floral note. I don't think I've ever actually smelled jonquil, so I have no idea what it is I am smelling. It smells white. Delicate, white, florals. Good throw and wear length.

Gelt with extra vanilla, marshmallow, coconut, pralines, and sugar. So its more like gelt and caramel milkway goodness. Foodie chocolate. Sugary, caramel, chocolate. Good throw and wear length.

Chilly, cold white florals (snowdrop and daffodil come to mind), and a whiff of herbs and ferns. Delightfully chilly, it sort of reminds me to crisp snow. Medium throw and wear length.

Creamy honey, fresh hay, and a whiff of patchouli at the end of ground it with some dirt-like smell patch. This is like a golden field outside. Good throw and wear length.

Deep, patchouli woods and a whiff of clove, tar, and oudh. This is a dark, smoky almost scorched wood scent. If you're into dark woods or patchouli, you have to get this. Good throw and wear length.

"This is an oil for the Gorgons – for veneration, prayer, and evocation. It is an oil of fierce and fearsome protection dedicated to the Gorgons and crafted under the watchful eye of Algol. This is a chorus of screams of primordial rage, this is a stony primeval bulwark that defends against curses. This is a guardian oil, snake-kissed and armored with unyielding scales of ekplektos, krúoeis, and déos... ...Steam-distilled mugwort essential oil (Artemisia alba) and mugwort from the TAL garden (Artemisia vulgaris), agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria), Egyptian myrrh essential oil and myrrh tears (Commiphora myrrha), opoponax tears (Commiphora opoponax), guggul resin (Commiphora mukul), nettle leaf (Urtica dioica), oakmoss and oakmoss absolute (Evernia prunastri), galbanum absolute and CO2 extract of galbanum (Ferula galbaniflua), patchouli leaf and patchouli essential oil (Pogostemon cablin), celery seed essential oil (Apium graveolens), and three snake sheds. This oil is not vegan."

Church incense, ornate gold, old lace, and dust.

"Crafted in the throes of Algol and surrounded by the Gorgons’ serpents, this is a hex-breaking oil that shatters curses with a shriek of divine rage. Rosemary ct Verbenone steam-distilled essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis (L.) ct verbenone), rosemary ct Cineole essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis (L.) ct cineole), and rosemary from the TAL garden (Rosemary Prostatus cv.

Roses, mineral water, and a whiff of amber and oudh. This one is a great twist on a rose blend, with that mineral water giving it some "effervescence" without necessarily being bubbly. Here's is strength, smarts, and roses. Good throw and wear length.

Olive blossom, marjoram, frankincense and a touch of ambergris and fig. This really though is an herby olive blossom/frankincense blend. Sort of regal, resinous, and unexpected twists. Medium throw and wear length.

Dry vanilla woods. Good throw and wear length.

Creamy, sweet coffee with milk chocolate, and maybe a whiff of cheesecake but not really? It's mainly a coffee with cream and chocolate on me. So a mocha espresso! Medium throw and wear length.

Wood, dusty resins in the background, and oudh. And as always oudh just sort of burns through everything. GREAT throw and wear length.

Clove with a touch of hay. Warm, golden, clove. Good throw and wear length. Great for those of you looking for a clove SN.

Ugh, this is a gorgeous honeysuckle blend, and the patchouli codes as earthy dirt as opposed to straight up patch. It's like a real flower. But in the dirt. Amazing. Good throw and wear length.

A ton of apple over some whiskey splashed on the background. It's mainly a boozy, slightly smokey apple. Delicious. Medium throw and wear length.

A species of garnet. The scent is a swirl of deep red, brown-black, bronze, and green: red and black vegetal musk, sunset amber, oakmoss, mahogany, and champaca.

Champaca, amber, and musk. This one smells sort of red amber, and whiffs of musk to me predominantly. Red, amber, musk. Good throw and wear length.

White floral, blue musk, whiff of camphor and salt. This one is a very deep, contemplative blend. Cool, blue, musky. Good throw and wear length.

Dry cinnamon and black musk. It's more like a dark cinnamon musk if you ask me. Medium throw and wear length.

Thick, rich gardenia and vanilla. This had the potential to explode into something utterly horrible. Both gardenia and cream tend to do horrible things on my skin. Gardenia goes to wet wool, and cream smells like burnt plastic. AND YET, HERE WE HAVE AN UNHOLY BABY THAT SMELLS EXACTLY AS YOU SAID IT WOULD. Magic, my friends, is the only answer. If you're looking for a rich gardenia SN look no further. Great throw and wear length.

Lime jello, lemons, and whiffs of pint. Seriously, this smells like lime jell-o to me. Good throw and wear length.

Take a pine tree, dip it in lemon sugar, and sprinkle it with crushed snowdrops, maple and additional flower petals. Conversely, take a pine tree and give it a sunny yellow dress. Great throw and wear length. Lemony, sugary, pine. Happy trees, as Bob Ross would say.

Sugary rose, vanilla, whiff of red currant and guava. Yup, sweet, fruity and tart. My skin eats this up though. Good throw, low low low wear length on me.
