NOISOME CLOCKWORK TIN LOCOMOTIVE A clamorous collision of scents: wormwood, rum, star anise, vanilla, cognac, peppermint, and green tea with smoke fluid and lubricant. At first, you can tell there is mint in this one. But with all mint scents, you have to wait for the top notes to pass before you can get the true personality of the scent. Now that it is dry I can detect the green tea, wormwood and rum....just a hint of vanilla. Not a lot of smoke. Very wearable. I could see wearing this to work without it bothering anyone. OMG, I want to hoard multiple bottles of this and wear it all winter. I just love it. My fave of the 4 that I got.But I must add that I LOVE anything anise/wormwood. If you do too, you need to get your paws on this one!!

THUNDER AND BLAZES Leather, crushed grass, mud, sangre de grado, and crushed lemon candy. I can't believe that I am first. Here goes. Testing it on my skin, the first note I get as a wet spring soil. Not a heavy/mossy soil. More light, like in the garden. The leather comes out next and it's also very subtle to my nose. The glass note is present, but not the dominate note to me. It's there to add some softness and balance. I do not get any crushed lemon candy. (at least not yet) I am not sure what sangre de grado is? (a tree perhaps) Overall, its a nice scent if you like the notes. It's easy to wear and very unique.

BLACK MOON 2011: BETH'S CREATION The absence of light: black orchid, motia attar, mugwort, English pear, jonquil, violet leaf, myrrh, opoponax, crystal musk, ylang ylang, and 5-year aged patchouli. I can pick out almost each of the notes. But the two strongest are the Orchid and the Pear. If you like those two notes you will be in heaven.It also has a very tropical vibe to it. Now I did have the older version years ago and I can't tell you how they differ. But overall it's a very pretty scent. I can't wait to see how it ages.

Monsieur Petitbled's Frivolous Wheeled Footwear
sfsassy posted a topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
MONSIEUR PETITBLED'S FRIVOLOUS WHEELED FOOTWEAR Really, really reckless: red currant, fig, leather, and patchouli with clove bud, orange flower, and pink pepper. I am first....pressure. Out of all the scents, this was the one I wanted the most. It sounds like a sexy scent. I was only worried that the clove would be too strong. When first applied I got a blast of red currant and that hint of clove. This clove is not too strong at all! I have had it one for 40 minutes now and I get more of the labs patchouli note and some leather....still very "red" in personality. I do not detect any orange flower. Overall, RED, warm, Sexy: Keeper! -
I love this one! Girlie/feminine. Honey & Jasmine are the strongest notes. Does not smell like winter, but I could see using this a lot in the spring.

Black Cherry Amaretto Christmas Puddin'
sfsassy replied to boxinghelena's topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
Wet: Cherry sucker Dry: super light. I can not even smell it an hour later. -
Figgy pudding is nom nom nom. My fave of the 3 bottled scents released. Smells more like a dessert than a spirit to my nose.
-
wet, it smelled like bubble gum. Sweet and candy like too. Dry more raisin. Very light and close to the skin too.
-
Smells like a chocolate Tootsie Roll. Much better than what I was expecting.

I can finally review this. I have tried it now 3 times on my skin. The first time I made the mistake of testing it with a few other scents, so I could not tell which was which after the dry down. But here it is: In the bottle it's a very juicy pomegranate scent. When first applied to the skin it sparkles with a slight fizzyness to go along with the juicy fruits.After it dries it's a very soft powdery scent. Maybe a light floral accompanies the fruit. Some have called it very masculine, I would call it more unisex. It would be wonderful on a guy or a gal. It's definitely not too manly. I also find it pretty unique. I don't have anything else in my collection that is close to it.

This one is lighter than I thought it would be. It's a softer leather. I do not get any of the darker notes listed. I don't get any lime either. Dusty leather, wood and vanilla. Very wearable
-
Patchouli is one of my favorites and am a big fan of this scent. It's very dark and sexy. Wet it's mostly a rich patchouli and as it dries you get more of the tobacco. I do not detect any cinnamon (which is good since it's my death note). Vanilla comes out at the very end. Very nice! This will be a nice go-to scent for the colder months.

2011 version. Let me start by saying that out of the 3, this was my fave by far. It's the most complex and unusual. Others were saying that it's herbal and I have to agree with them. It's a strong herbal scent and I LOVE herbal scents. Outside of saying that, I am having a hard time pin pointing notes or even saying why I like it as much as I do. Winner!
-
Sexy sangria fruity goodness. Sorta like dark red berries in the jungle. It also smells just like I thought it might. NICE!!
-
Tropical fruit salad. Juicy Mango for sure. Wet and juicy.
-
Smells like those 1980's scratch and sniff stickers for orange. Really, just like that. To me it's a bright sunny orange scent. Zesty and sunny with a hint of sugar. Very fun scent. Great for summer too.
-
I finally put my finger on what I think this smells closest too. The Lush shower gel called Grass. (I love that too btw) To my nose it has a sugared wheat grass smell, with a little lingering incense in the distance. I can't wait to see how this ages. Very unique.

Warm fuzzy honey-vanilla. It's a very comforting scent that would be great to cuddle with. I am so happy I took the chance and got multiple bottles on Etsy on this one. It's amazing and right up my alley.
-
I am a HUGE Absinthe fan and this one does not disappoint if you are as well. It's soft and like on the skin. Easy to wear to work. Sorta smells like a mixed drink....almost like a mojito with lemon (and not lime). The vanilla just adds a softness, but it does not smell like a vanila dominant scent. Keeper for me.
-
Very yummy scent on the skin. I get mostly a lemon marshmallow. There is a bit of blueberry that levels off the tartness of the lemon. If you like sweet candy like scents you will really like this one!
-
I don't get any popcorn, but I do agree that it has a snake oil/midway vibe to it. I bet it will age very well.
-
This was a surprise hit out of the weenies for me. I love it. It's a very mellow smokey scent. Leans a bit masculine. But overall, it's a real winner.
-
This is the best of the bees. OMG so wonderful on the skin. I get a lot of sexy licorice and coconut. I will 100% get a back up bottle.
-
Surprise it's a tomato! It's funny because I was thinking cherry, but this is a nice surprise. With my summertime planting around the corner I am totally going to wear this all the time. very green/garden/tomato. I don't find it harsh or too green. Maybe since it has the honey note and no dirt note I find it very wearable.
-
This one was a good one on my skin. It smells like the name would suggest. It has a sweet girly quality. I get creamy almost a plastic cherry/herbal scent. That with a touch of Honey. It's very different, but totally up my alley.
