You Are Mine, You Shall Be Mine, You and I Are One for Ever

This is CLOVE balm on my skin. The clove note has exterminated everything around it. It's slowly warming up, but still is a clove one-man show. This is for all the clove note lovers out there. -
It's a bright white rose with a sweet prickly kick from the vanilla/ white musk combo. On my skin it comes off as fruity floral. If i didn't know the notes, i'd say it had chilled pear in it. Later on, the white rose becomes powdery, but still retaining that prickly kick.

Aldehydes and soapy florals. Evokes a vibe of cleanliness.The florals are waning and the aldehydes become the center of attention. The aldehydes are well behaved and don't feel effervescent. A good option for those seeking a Chanel N5 alternative.

I have a decant of Morning Follows Night which i've been testing for the past 2 weeks. It starts off with a wonderful lemon rind/ vanilla/ tonka/ powdery cocoa upon opening. So lovely....here's hoping this part lasts. Litte by little the opening calms down, the lemon rind subsides and i'm left with a creamy plush vanilla/tonka/ lemon rind veil. At times, the drydown can unexpectedly shift into woody patchouli with a brulee vibe; other times it stays creamy and soft. I still haven't decided if i need a bottle of this.

Dead Leaves, Burnt Marshmallows, Clove Cream, and Whiskey

Red, dark brown dry leaves enveloped in a scorched and warm layer of whiskey. I don't smell any clove cream or marshmallow. It's not an in your face boozy blend, but more in the vein of booze-generated warmness and scorched smoky something melding in with the dry dark brown leaves texture. This is slightly reminiscent of DL, Roasted Almonds and Bourbon, which had a MUCH MUCH MORE pronounced boozy roasted vibe. These DLs are more approachable and the whiskey + the scorched element bring a really nice and warming touch. -
Smoky coffee bean and cardamom. It starts off pretty strong and smells good, but looses its oomph in 1 hour. Sadly it's short-lived.
-
Deep black musk, a bit incensey and warm rounded by a halo of amber. I thought this would smell like Haunted, but it doesn't. It reminds of a much much more subdued version of Streets of Detroit without the myrrh and the greasy engine oil vibe. It stays close to the skin and feels warm and cozy.

This is a pale king mandarin, a bit dry, with some spice and dustiness from the red musk. I expected something combustible, but it's very well behaved and polite

Fresh smells like biting into a red juicy apple followed by something creamy and white, maybe musk, like a creamy body lotion texture...could be the floral component of the blend. Little by little, as time goes, the milky creamy component gets stronger eclipsing the apple. In the end i get creamy milky body lotion scent with a whisper of a waning red apple pulp.

Sweet cream with a butter undertone. I wish there was more frankincense. Over time the cream and butter get sweeter and more intense verging almost into dulce leche territory.

this is the good GOOD! This is a caramelized purring fuzzy amber. I think there's benzoin here. Whatever amber resinoid is used here, it may have turned this blend into an unintentional gourmand. I'm getting a bottle with my next order! LOVE 🫶

This blend gives off an auburn/ dark brown chromatic feeling. The spiced rum definitely makes its presence known. I can't escape the feeling that everything in here has been soaked in the spiced rum and then meticulously dried. The blend is not sweet, but rather carries a mild boozy aura throughout its wear. Boozy, a bit sharp, almondy with a scorched bite Reminds me of Row Bullies Row from the Fire Down Below series.

This is a milky textured fruity floral. I get the pom and apricot rind mingled with the florals which are meticulously blended. I'm thinking of bottling this.
-
A deep balsamic syrupy amber resembling Nyx, Night Goddess; but after it 2-3 hours it gets drier in texture and a bit woodier but still retains a syrupy afterglow.

It's a red bursting juicy grapefruit. Over time it loses its zest and spark and mingles with a creamy clean floral musk. Later: an incensy brown smog of dragons blood come out and envelops the pink grapefruit. Quite unexpected 😳
