Santa left this for me this year 😃. Unfortunately, the sharpness of the leather note drowns out everything else and my hair smells too much like "new car smell" and I couldn't wait to wash it out. If you like leather get this. Apparently I do not 😔 which is a bummer because i love the name and the bottle art! I'm going to sneak off now and buy myself some Pumpkin Spice Silkybat HG to replace it 😍 (shhhhh don't tell Santa)

I mostly get the champaca and patchouli, I can't detect any sandalwood. To me it's an upscale "hippie scent" . My bottle is almost gone which is very sad because I 💗 it..

Red musk, sweet myrrh, blood honey, red patchouli, and red vetiver. Vampire Red is all red musk and myrrh with just a touch of honey to sweeten it. (*this review is from a decant, btw). It's a very wearable red musk as some blends tend to be very assertive to me. Average throw. I sprayed it about 3 hours ago and I can catch whiffs of it when my hair moves. The red musk combined with honey reminds me very much of Eldritch Dark HG..but obviously less "dark". The patchouli and vetiver are present but barely noticeable, this scent is all about red musk and myrrh. It's a very sexy scent. Definitely bottle worthy!

I get mostly red wine and currents, like a sweet and sour candy. Not picking up on any of the "incense notes". It's a bit too fruity for me. Maybe it just needs marinate for awhile and I'll revisit. Still a pretty scent though if you're looking for more "fruity" less "head shoppy" Good throw and hangtime.

I was hoping for more sage from this, but mostly get a very clean white tea with lemon. Smells like I just had my hair washed at an upscale salon. I like it for days when I want something "fresher" than my normal patchouli/resin hair glosses. Very pretty!

I'm not an aquatics gal, but between the beautiful artwork and the title I wanted to give this a shot. It's musky and salty, but also goes a bit soapy. Moderate to strong throw. I really like the way it smells, but I don't think I will get a bottle. I think aquatics fans would love this though and I will keep my decant for days when I want to smell "beachy".

The bourbon vanilla note almost scared me away from trying this, but I ordered a decant because of what it represented and supported. I'm so glad I did! The bourbon is definitely there, but not cloying or taking over at all. The patchouli is a clean patchouli and I definitely get the same "tobacco" others have mentioned. It's a beautiful scent and I can't stop huffing my wrist! I actually think it smells more "peaceful" than nasty....the most detectable notes I get are patchouli/amber/fig drying down a few hours to a smoky vanilla. Light to moderate throw. I tested this on my mom and she loved it too. She said it smelled like yoga class. I think we'll be splitting a bottle.

(Decant) The fruit notes in this would normally keep me from testing it, but as a Scorpio I felt the need to at least try it. To me it goes into "expensive perfume" territory. The pomegranate and blackberry completely take over, where I was hoping they would just be players in the background. This is more of a red wine/fruity scent and less resinous on me. Very strong throw and longevity.

Bonfire smoke rising through a cloud of ceremonial incense, encircled by swirling autumn leaves and a dribble of blood red musk. 2016 version (decant). I've been dying to try this for a couple of years so I am glad to finally snag a decant. The red musk is very subdued and "luckily" I am not getting the dead leaves. Just incense and a tad bit of musk. It's resiny, smoky and sweet and reminds me of the smell of a new age store. Love it

Was hoping for patch with a smidge of apple. I got Wowza fresh apples with zero patch. The only patch that shows up tends to morph it into an astringent scent. Not for me. This scent is for people who really like their apples

Frimp from a decant circle Fresh from the imp I get a grape jolly rancher dipped in booze. Doesn't morph as it dries down, but softens a bit instead. I used one tiny dab and it has pretty powerful throw...and longevity. I'm not a big fan of boozy scents, but out of the ones I have tried as to date, this one is the most wearable. Pretty, but not my thing.

Weird, but I also get Antikythera Mechanism from this (mine was a decant) . No cardamom...the patchouli is definitely there and a touch of vanilla, but I also get a woody men's cologne scent. It has a lot of throw and detangles my hair pretty well (long and fine). Because the scent is pretty strong I use it on my wet hair before styling it. I like the way it smells and will use up the decant, but it's not what I was expecting.

2016 version. I'm waffling over this one. I don't normally go for aquatics, but I wanted to smell like a mermaid heh. They always seem to go in the direction of men's cologne or they're too sharp and burn the back of my throat. This is truly an exception! It's nice! I already got a few compliments at work on how nice I smell. I'm getting mostly kelp and sea spray, but I can't smell the almond or frankincense. The jasmine is barely underneath giving it body. The throw is pretty exceptional. I made the mistake of trying it on my hair AND on my arm at the same time and had to drive back to work with the windows down I don't know if I see myself buying a bottle, since I'm more of a patchouli/resins/ musk girl but I will certainly enjoy the decant. I would definitely recommend this as an aquatic for people who don't like aquatics. I think if there was a little coconut in the mix as well I would lean more towards a bottle buy.

Mostly blood musk and orris, I was hoping for more coconut, but I don't detect any at all. It's a pretty musk scent, but I was hoping for something more "beachy". Has a decent throw. I only dabbed two tiny dots and it's a bit overwhelming. Sadly not for me.

Very much like the original Silkybat (yay!), but smokier. The coconut in this is dry, almost more coconut husk-like IMO. I even get a hint of vanilla somewhere. Dry down is similar to Goblin. Strong throw and I could still smell a bit in my hair when I woke up this morning, whereas the original Silkybat faded faster. This is true love for me

This definitely lived up to it's hype. It's lavender mixed with a toasted gooey marshmallow. I'm not a lavender fan or a foodie, but somehow this works. I love slathering it before bed so the sheets smell like it too. I'm not sure if it helps me sleep, but it smells absolutely YUM. Oh, and it's a great moisturizer too

This is fresh, light, airy.....to me it's more a forest after the rain...has a green watery note that isn't ozone or dryer sheet (I normally do not like water type scents). If there is pine and fir in this it is blended in the most magical way. Would be great on some flannel sheets before bed. Thanks to Puddin and the goblins for throwing it in my order! I may have to consider a bottle..

Got a frimp of this from the lab. Smells like cocoa powder/ cocoa butter without being overy-foodie. Throw is decent and I can smell it hours later, but more subdued. Oddly, I find it super relaxing like laying on the sofa with a fuzzy blanket and a hot chocolate. Put me right to sleep last night... Very nice!

I'm reviewing from a decant generously frimped to me by the lovely Azurephoenix.. Honestly, I never used it as a bath oil, but slathered it all over during my vacation last week. It's tropical floral lite slightly backed by ginger ..I like it much better than the perfume oil because of its subtlety. It's beautiful and I wish I had snagged a full bottle (although it would not have lasted long!) Just gorgeous ☺️

This is amazing stuff. It's exactly Grave Pig as I hoped minus the shrooms/soil. It's mostly patchouli with fig hovering in the background..and it just knocked down Amber n Patchouli to second favorite hair gloss. LOVE 😍

Wet: super smokey burnt wood. Stays that way for the first hour or so. Something about this reminds me a bit of Sin... Dries down to a black musk. I definitely get a masculine vibe from this as well,and I can still smell it the next day on my wrist. I definitely prefer the dry down stage to the "smoky" beginning. Very nice!

I'm testing a decant of this. I already have the bath oil (well a tiny bit left!), and this seems to be more leather- heavy. Mostly I get leather and red musk/honey and I can't detect the rose at all. Overall it's just a gorgeous sexy scent and I adore it, but for some reason my hair just eats up the scent and I can only smell it for the first hour I have it on. The only component I can smell after it dries a bit is the leather. Normally I don't get along with leather, but this I love I think I need a bottle..

I was hoping for patchouli/cocoa/leather. Wet, I can smell the cocoa and patchouli...and flowers. Dry, the flowers just overtake the entire scent. 3 hours later...still amping those pesky flowers. No patchouli...no cocoa. Definitely no leather. Bummer. I so wanted to love this one.

As a die hard fan of the original Silkybat, I'm finding it hard to be full-on in love with this version. To me the original was perfection I really don't get much patchouli from this. (Patchouli haters should absolutely try this!) Fresh sprayed I get a scent very close to Angel/Alien...which I believe would be from the "snow" element? It's fresh..and I agree with the "florist-shop" comparison also. At first it amps very strongly, but an hour later I don't smell it anymore (although I have gotten compliments on it so it's obviously still there). I'll probably keep the bottle, but won't be ordering another. It's a bit too girly/sweet for me, but I can see it having a lot of fans.

Hmmm..I think I got caught up in Weenie madness when I ordered this. The artwork on the label was SO adorable! BUT, I should know better..autumn leaf is a death note for me. The scent is dried green grasses and red leaves with patchouli. I agree that this would be the perfect HG for anyone who loves Devil's Night, October..etc. Sadly not for me. Swaps.
