I have been wearing and loving this for a while and am just now realizing why it smells soooo familiar: Inez. This smells extremely similar to Inez from CD on me. I love it. Very amber. Very haute.

This smells wonderful. Spiced apples, creamy pumpkin and something sweet rounding it out. I usually don't have problems with spices but these left welts on my wrists, fwiw. Tested again today and the burning was much less than the other day. It smells delicious.

My 2021 bottles smell like a lightly spiced and toasted pumpkin and wonderfully creamy sandalwood. My 2022 bottle smells like Pumpkin Spice Latte '10. I also got a bottle of Pumpkin Spice Latte '22 and it smells like last year's Every Day is Halloween. I suspect a mis bottling switcheroo episode. Glad I ordered both. I'm writing this in case anyone else gets extreme spice from their bottle this year- it may indeed be Pumpkin Spice Latte instead.

Grass. Grass grass grass!

Wow. I cannot believe how much this smells like a chocolate glazed donut. ? Unreal. For hours. I love maple but am not smelling any from my bottle. This would be a scent that it would be fun to collect the variations! This is lovely. Thank goodness there's no coconut in mine because I cannot stand coconut scents.

2022 I love this so much. It is complex but so well blended, I had so much fun smelling my wrists trying to smell everything (which I could!). This could be my favorite Halloweenie. If you like the listed notes, I don't see how you could go wrong with this. My only gripe is that my bottle was only filled to just barely above the top of the label, which is so rare.

Excellent. Spiced apple new Snake Oil is a win. Eta 19 Nov '22 - this is now a bit of spiced apple, a touch of musk and a wollop of patchouli. Like, holy moly patchouli. Glad I love patchouli!

#86 (straight from Etsy) I bought this when they were put on the Etsy page a while ago. I am very excited to see if the newly released DL, Pralines and Vanilla smells similar to this because I smell leaves, vanilla and some sort of caramelized nutty edged lift with just a touch of spice. I love this bottle so much.

I love this. It smells like strawberry caramelized marshmallows...wow!
-
Sweet, deep lavender and herbs. I love wearing it to sleep, it always feels like a treat!

This is golden and grounding. Smells fantastic and useful to its purpose.

The Lady of the Graveyard! Autumn leaves, wild roses, bourbon vanilla, dry chamomile, and a bouquet of bright chrysanthemums and Mexican marigolds. Aw...I'm first? La Calavera Catrina is one of the most beautiful Autumnal scents ever. The Autumn flowers are perfectly blended, and the vanilla sweetens them up. There's a hint of rose, and chamomile, but neither one overpowers the blend. I get a hint (or more a "feel") of leaves, and they are definitely the crunchy sort that have already fallen to the ground. If you liked Flor de Muerto and Nothing Gold Can Stay, I would highly recommend this. 10/10 ETA: I just wanted to add that this has aged so beautifully and I get compliments every time I wear it. Every. Time. It has become really well blended and more perfumey which is just fine with me! Gorgeous scent and I hope I don't run out.

Oh, this is glorious! Just scored a bottle from Etsy! I cannot remember what it smelled like at first, but it has dried down to a beautiful smooth sandalwood. I love it! Surprised it doesn't have more reviews!

Mother of Cats, why didn't I get two bottles of this?! All notes present with the juicy cherry disappearing/melding ten minutes on my skin. I absolutely love this - so dark, so resinous and not overpowering. I was scared when I smelled this in the bottle - that cherry was fierce!!! Ooohhhh...the black currant, black musk and tobacco are fantastic together!!! Wow!
-
This bottle just arrived today but I wanted to say how much I love it. It is so unique - I have nothing like it in my collection - and smells like a creamy, sugary, non fruity cereal in the best way possible. Lovely. Cap'n Crunch!!!

In the bottle it is very very fig. BIG FIG. On the skin, it morphs into a crazy beautifully soft fig mooshed into vanilla woods. After a few minutes I smell a touch of patchouli. This bottle just arrived but it already smells amazing. I'm looking forward to smelling how it ages! Eta 01 December '22 I still love this. It has become a papery fig, if that makes any sense. Eta 10 Feb 2024 This has smoothed out and that big fig has mellowed out big time. This is one that I get frustrated by the listed notes...aside from the patchouli, I just can't find them. I prefer Grief Moth 2 but this is a lovely papery fig patchouli. Eta 19 Feb 2024 I get the feeling this will come into its own in another year or so. I'm wearing both Grief Moths this morning and actually just love them both, and they smell so good in proximity to each other. Just lovely.

This smells like posh luxury! The rosehips give it a tart bite, smoothed over by a bit of patchouli with a hint of mushroom and balsam to ground. I can't pick out the hemp, which is fine by me. I can't compare it to anything although I think there was a similar set of notes for a Weenie or Yule that I missed out on last year. When I smell this and close my eyes, I'm in a beautiful traditional Japanese room with precious lacquered wooden items and books. Very comforting. Very posh/plush. Very glad I got a bottle! Eta 10 Feb 2024 This is so deep and smooth. The rosehips giving a tart lift to the patchouli and friends blend underneath. I love this so much.

This is beautiful. It needs travel rest but it was one of the two I had to try immediately. Lovely and definitely blue. I smell the driftwood and whichever florals/musks are used to evoke the sea. It reminds me sooo much of Astrid's Canyon Paths at Dusk but I don't know how. I will add more if I am able to tease out any other notes. Really really nice.

Gorgeous sugared clove and a light amber with a nice throw and long wear!

Columns of the Temple of Neptune at Paestum

I bought two bottles... They arrived today and I KNOW they need time to recover from travel but... I just smell grass. Green grass. Strong. Fresh. Green. Grass. I literally hate that smell and am holding on to hope that in a week or two some of the other notes will come forward. Dry grasses are fine but I was so excited about the other notes and am disappointed that none of them are present. That'll teach me to blind bottle anything with any type of grass note. If you have trouble with grass taking over, you have been warned. The headache is fierce. I will update here if anything changes. -
Juicy red musk. Yummy cola Labdanum. Doesn't get much better than this.

Breathing Destruction From Their Lips Like Flame

What a perfect Autumn scent! The nagarmotha is barely detectable underneath the red fruits (I smell pomegranate, cranberry and tart cherry) and that is how it dries down for me. Very similar to one of the HM scents. I am so glad to have a bottle and have already made a dent in it in less than a week, lol. Very nice. ETA I can smell the vetiver now! This is still all about those red fruits, but it is becoming more complex quite quickly. I love it. -
I love love love this. The eucalyptus is strongest at first, but ends up giving way to the deep, chewy patchouli /amber/opoponax combo. I unfortunately never pick up on the black currant. Still, sooo good.

If you enjoy BPAL's blackberry note, do not pass this up. It is the star, for certain. Mine arrived today and I had to wear it - I know I smell things other than blackberry but it will take some settling for them to unjumble. I really really like it.
