Mulled red wine, myrrh, and a whiff of cherry blood. Madrid, is that you? It sure sort of codes that way.
-
Red roses, pale sandalwood, and a whiff of oudh. Okay, so apparently black oudh is super scary on me, and oud blanc is OK, giving things a sort of wispy perfumey smell. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Delicate, chilly fir. Honestly, this is a very cold, chilly and yet delicate blend. It would be perfectly at home in the Yules. Low throw, medium wear length.
-
Pine, balsam, and agarwood. Agarwood definitely smells like oudh to me. So wet, feral pine. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Red rose, honey, pickling spice, and a whiff of vanilla. Somehow this ends up smelling like red roses and pickling spice. EPIC FAIL SKIN. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Lilac, blue musk, touch of amber and pepper. This one is a feisty lilac blend. The blue musk is always a somber sort of musk on my skin, and the pepper prevents this from being sad, and is just sort of aggressive. This is a lilac that looks like it would literally bite back. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Frankincense, champaca, and amber. Overlaid with a silvery metal note. But underneath is a very warm resinous frankincense and amber. Sort of masculine? Good throw and wear length.
-
Murky green mugworth muddles lavender. It's a murky green lavender. Good throw and wear length.
-
A perfume for the creepy kids, the iconoclasts, the revolutionaries: blackcurrant, cistus, blackened sugar, and oud.
-
Compared to Come Sister, this is a much more feral bloody orchid. This is red musk, orchid, and vanilla. It's red, bloody, voluptuous. If Come Sister is sheer white, this is a dangerous red. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Clean orchid, white musk, and flowers. This is a very clean, fresh orchid blend to me. Great throw and wear length.
-
Lavender, palo santo, and sandalwood. This is delicate lavender and palo santo. Just lovely. Low throw, average wear length.
-
Lavender over some black oudh, which honestly toggles between salty and smelling foul on me. So this is some unpleasant medicine if you ask me. Great throw and wear length.
-
Soft leather, polished mahogany and a drop of beeswax. It's a refined gentleman's leather blend. Well kept, shiny, leather. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Okay, so this is like Madame Moriarty and Lucy's Kiss had a sexy vampire baby. You have red musk, plum, and whiffs of tobacco, fig, mimosa with an overlay of incense. And its a feral baby. If you ever wanted to be a deliciously sexy creature of the night that takes the blood of men (and maybe other bodily fluids) without any compunctions, give this a whirl. Dark, sexy, deadly. Medium throw and wear length.

Blue satin swaths of iris and indigo flower, billows of white mallow root and smoked sugar, embroidered with antiqued amber. Pip starts off with satiny iris flower, and puffs of mallow. But it dries down to a smoked sugar and amber blend. The iris flower is slightly powdery on wet, but then it smooths out as it dries. The sugar starts to come out and the amber is very present. I was expecting to enjoy this as much as I have. Medium throw and medium wear length.
-
Cactus nectar, sage, dry bush. This is a sweet, dry sagey blend. It smells like the desert on a spring morning. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Blackcurrant, maple leaves, and a touch of bourbon. This one is like an autumn cocktail based on blackcurrant. Dark purple, leafy, bourbon. Great throw and wear length.
-
Mums, oaks, and a whiff of amber. Mums on me tend to be very bitter, and the oak just accentuates it. So I have a bitter mum on my skin. It smells orange, and bitter. Great throw and wear length.
-
Green grass, touch of sage, and just fresh clean-ness. Honestly, this would hands down make some of the best laundry detergent ever. It smells like green grass and I swear tulips, and its just clean, and spring like. Love it. Medium throw and wear length.
-
A covenant: white frankincense, pine pitch, vetiver, black oudh, and leather.
-
Smoky red musk and burning leaves. This smells like LIT fire red musk. Like there's something literally on fire right now on a chemical component way. But it doesn't burn? But it is on fire. My primate brain is receiving some very mixed messages here. Also its kinda sexy, because red musk is that way. So, if you ever envisioned having sex with fire, this may be for you. Good throw and wear length.
-
Leather, scary musky oudh, and a whiff of pine and frankincense. Take leather, give it to a wolf to drag through mud, stuff that isn't mud, a pine forest, mate on it, and then toss it back on your desk, with an evil grin. That's what this smells like. Not for the faint of heart. Hell, not even for the foolhardy. This is all that is life-death in all of its messy, inappropriate, gross glory, wrapped up in a particularly scary and feral overlay. Great throw and wear length of course.
-
A scent for a tiny demoness: sugar and red musk with pink pepper, cotton candy, and a poof of brimstone.
-
Honeyed lilies, white musk, white pear, and golden amber.
