A lot of slightly plasticky, but actually quite nice bubble gum - and there really is something "chilly" in the background, and I have no idea how Beth does this, but there you have it It feels like a scent that little girls would love, but I feel like it is too girlish for my tastes. I might hold onto the decant, though, because it is a fun scent after all
-
I don't think this is similar to Eat Me on me, like I have read it is for some people. This is mostly sugared currant with a teensy bit of honey, but not cake-like at all. It is rather pleasant, but not something I will be needing a bottle of
-
This is SUPER fizzy. It doesn't really read as champagne to my nose, but definitely something bubble, like soda. It pretty much overpowers all the other notes, except I get a little bit of leather in the background. I'm not getting anything in the way of patchouli or rose. It is nice enough, but ultimately too champagne-y for my tastes.

Fox Fires on New Year's Eve at the Garment Nettle Tree at Oji
Aviatrix replied to nikkoblue's topic in The Salon
This feels like "green" incense on me, with a little bit of lilac and rice wine. It is very soft and mysterious. The throw and staying power is good, too. I'm glad I took a chance on this bottle, it has a certain Buddhist feel to it that is just my thing! -
Oh! Also, I can't believe I didn't notice this earlier, but the new atmo Young Edith's Bedroom has both books and beeswax in the description. It sounds lovely
-
Has the Lab ever made a scent that is books/leather + beeswax/candles? I can't really think of one, but if you know one, please let me know
-
Thanks for the many suggestions, everyone! I will go on a little hunt
-
Rich brown sugar single note! It is very fun and festive, but too foody for me, ultimately. If you enjoy brown sugar, be sure to try this one!
-
A very beautiful blend. I can pick out the white flowers, and the pepper gives it just a little bit of zest that I quite like. It feels somewhat funereal, so I'm not sure when I would get around to wearing it, to be honest. I like the juxtaposition of white and black notes in this blend, fitting for the concept picture.

A Holy Man Advises a Woman to Invoke Mary Against a Devil
Aviatrix replied to HerbGirl's topic in Halloweenie
This is very faint on me. I mostly get the white tea with a bit of neroli. No leather for me, which is a bit sad. It is a very pretty little scent and doesn't feel demonic at all The only problem I have with it is that the throw is very low on me. But I will keep my decant; this is fitting for a little tea party, I think! -
This one has a lot of cinnamon, but it feels almost effervescent for some reason? There is a hint of the leather in the background, and the whole thing is shrouded in a little cloud of incense smoke. Very lovely, and definitely unisex too. It feels like a powerful blend for a man, but the right kind of woman could definitely wear it too.

Plasticky cucumber! This one is not for me, I'm afraid

Départ Pour Le Sabbat (Aufbruch Zum Hexensabbat)
Aviatrix replied to VioletChaos's topic in Halloweenie
In the bottle and wet on the skin this is very foody! But after a while the patchouli takes over and the foodiness dissipates. I am getting a little bit of the vanilla as well, but on me this is mainly patchouli. I should have known, since I amp patchouli in most blends, but oh well. -
I am getting a lot of honey from this one, with white rose. It certainly shares a vibe with Katrina Van Tassel, but is also very different. There is something greenish creeping up behind the rose scent + a little resinous glow from the myrrh. I actually prefer the wet stages on this one, where it is predominantly rose. But overall it is a nice and somewhat different weenie
-
This feels almost "green" initially, although there are no green notes listed. It's a very soft and wistful blend of white flowers and a little cognac (not a lot), with the sandalwood grounding everything nicely. It is very pretty, but ultimately not something I would reach for often. I'll keep my decant, though!
-
This starts out as a blast of almond that seems almost bitter. It's a little too powerful for my tastes, but it fades quickly and settles into a soft, well-worn leather with a sweet overlay. The leather feels more like dusty suede, actually. Very nice. I am not getting much of the other notes, though, which is a shame. Overall I quite like it, and it feels like a rather grown-up scent for Lilith
-
There is also High-Strung Daisies. It's a cotton candy-ish floral
-
Oh, if you're up for limited edition scents, the Lilith blend Muse of Fire is the perfect sweet, sugared flower scent Also, the Yule blend La Befana (came out in 2007 and 2013) is a very festive sugared flower scent, with a little smoke in the background.
-
This is exactly what the description says! A veritable explosion of colours and impressions of flowers, all coated in a not-too-sticky sugar. It is fresh and sprightly, a little sharp, but not too much so, and very festive. I'm glad I got a bottle; this is exactly the kind of sugared flowers I love!
-
This one is utterly beautiful! So evocative of autumn. It starts of rather fruity, with the pomegranate and currant being equally prominent, but after a little while a soft smokiness settles in and turns the scent snuggly and somewhat sweet. The patchouli is soft and not overwhelming; just perfect! The honey is not overwhelming either, but just gives a teensy bit of sweetness to the blend. It reminds me somewhat of Samhain, actually, although this one is not as dark and smoky. It is very autumnal, and if you like Samhain, I would say give this a go, you won't be disappointed! It stays fairly close to the skin.
-
This goes on as really strong leather at first! Definitely of the black variety. The leather stays at the forefront, but calms down a little as other notes come out to play. Here are the resins and the balsam! The peach is, admittedly, hard to detect against so many heavy notes. I like the blend, but it disappoints a bit as a Peach Pit scent, simply because there is no peach to be found….
-
This is pretty true to the description. A dirt-and-cypress scent that dries down to a nice spicy incense, with a teensy bit of dirt remaining. I quite like it.
-
This is really good! It's one of the most outdoorsy, autumnal scents I have ever tried; it smells like when you make your way through some overgrown shrubbery in the late summer, when everything is really dry and crackling. I can't identify the notes, since I wouldn't know what half of these notes smell like, but I like it anyway. The resins give it a little bit of grounding, but are otherwise not very prominent for me. It could totally be an overgrown cemetery in the September afternoon sun
-
This is a soft as can be rose peach with a creamy background of vanilla. It does exactly as it says in the notes, and it is super yummy. If you are iffy on the rose, you might still like it, as it is a very soft and not overwhelming rose. The rose is a little more in front than the peach, though.
-
This opens up with a blast of ozoney snow, the same kind of snow note as in Almond Blossom. At first there is a citrusy feel, but quickly the peach becomes the dominant note. I am not getting any green tea.
