This is a blast of strong sweet powder (oud? musk?) (with perimenopause, who can tell?) that dries down to a manageable red musk and tobacco. It lasts for a good five hours with a small testing amount.
-
I also got B&BW vibes, but for me it was a Very Nice red holiday candle while wet. It got juicier as it dried.
-
This is absolutely gorgeous! It's incredibly wearable for having orchid and black musk. On me, it's a sweet orchid, without being overwhelmingly floral, giving over into a dark, well behaved musk. The almond lends some sweetness at the beginning, but it's never foody on me. Stunning, and a perfect interpretation of the source material.

I'm not getting the usual DL note at all. On me, this is incense smoke with a nicely behaving oud.
-
Well, don't know if I've genuinely never tried this, or just never reviewed it. I can pick out the individual notes. It's a nice, light scent that was gone in a couple hours.
-
I don't think I ever got the lime on this. It's a very nice sugared strawberry with some definite staying power.

Chaotic Aasimar Sweet powder. I blame the Chaotic, which apparently still hasn't aged from my 2021 post.

Roasted Peach, Velvet Rose, and Labdanum
white_jenna63 replied to Jenjin's topic in Event Exclusive Oils
I was worried about the rose not in this, but I shouldn't have been. I couldn't pick out it or the labdunum. I got a sweet peach with something warm, but not spicy in the background. It finally faded to something that smelled like lotion or skin cream. I didn't love it, but I kept sniffing my wrists, if that makes sense? -
Okay, I am really liking this one! It's a definite blast of effervescent peach at first, but then it becomes more of a closer skin scent. I couldn't pick out any of the herbs or fern, and it never smells green. We're almost six hours after a regular application now, and it's there, but faded. Minimal throw. I haven't worn it in forever, but this conjures up memories of Aglaea for me.
-
Agreed, that for the notes listed, this is a surprisingly light fragrance. The peach and musks are definitely *there*, but it's not overwhelming the way it easily could be. Moderate throw with a small test dot inside the elbows.

Black Peach, Black Tea, and Blackcurrent
white_jenna63 replied to Jenjin's topic in Event Exclusive Oils
On first sniff, this is a really nice shampoo or other bath product. It's not a juicy, in your face peach. The notes all blend together nicely, and nothing is really dominant. -
First again? Okayyy.... It should be noted that a lot of plum/purple scents smell 'perfume-y' to me, given my late mother's love of Poison. (Lord, that sounds wrong....) It's the case with Evil, and the same here. On first application, this was a lovely...watery ('iridescent' sounds much better) purple. I really thought I detected an aquatic note at first. The plum was very forward for the first 15 minutes or so. Then it moved back a little, and let the other notes out. Four hours later, it's still a sophisticated pale purple blend. The musk is never screeching, and the leather gives it warmth and depth without being obvious. Minimal throw from a small testing dot. I think this is going to layer beautifully with Evil.

Agreeing that this isn't an in your face DBR blend. On me, it's a sweet smoky (without being overwhelming) leather, with the acid and ozone keeping it from being a pure leather blend. It *is* surprisingly light given the notes. On me it lasted several hours with a minimal amount applied for testing, and I rarely smelled it unless I had my wrists near my nose.
-
Okay, here goes! In the imp, the cardamom is forward. On the skin during dry down, the vanilla silk and amber take center stage, with the incense providing some oomph. This is still a very light, lovely scent, though. On me, it's definitely similar to Flickering Lights, Fluttering Curtains, but much more sheer (silk vs lace). Good wear after two hours. Minimal throw, but I only put it on lightly to test. I think this is going to layer beautifully with other RPG scents.
-
Yeah, I had to look up the notes for this, because I had no idea based on the imp or first application. Floral potpourri is what I'm getting, and it's disappointing. Very strong throw, too, of course.
-
Got this as a frimp in my Luper decant order. I got hit with a blast of...something yeasty? I can definitely smell the pumpkin that others mentioned. Despite putting on the smallest dab, I had to wash it off right away. Not for me!
-
Disclaimer: I have no idea what kyphi smells like. My skin ate the pom immediately. Once it was on my skin, buh-bye. Now I've got...something that's like a sweet oudh, but then it morphs sharp and back to sweet again? I don't know if I *like* it, but I keep smelling my wrists? 'It makes no damn sense. Compels me, though.' I think I'm going to throw it in the imp box and see what my thoughts are when it comes up next time.
-
This is strong pom right out of the gate, but it quickly dries down to a...dry pom, if that makes sense. Not a wet and juicy fruit blend. On me, this dries down to what would be a very nice Winter Pomegranate body wash, but I don't think it's what I'm looking for in a perfume oil.
-
I honestly can't recall if I've tried this before, but I'm trying everything again these days due to perimenopause skin changes. Whee.... Opening the imp, and it's aggressively pear. Almost artificial, but mostly just *strong*. It immediately morphs on my skin to musk and floral and darned if it isn't tickling some long ago memory, but I can't place it. Now it's dried down to a nice floral soap. If it had stayed in the first couple stages, it may have been a keeper, but hopefully someone else will love it.
-
Appropriately, I tested this while shoveling the driveway....just came in last night, so minimal time to settle down. I didn't get a chance to do a full throw/lasting test due to the activity, but it's still clinging on faintly after one hand washing. This is a lovely, soft gray white scent. I don't know that I could have picked out any of the notes individually, but since they're all kinda similar, that doesn't really mean anything. I wore Cat at the Table several weeks ago, and I remember it being brighter as well. Blizzard is a lovely gender neutral scent that really would be perfect for just about any occasion. Definitely worth picking up if you've been on the fence about it. Perfectly evocative of the name, if you're safe and cozy inside watching it.

Yeah, I'm getting pom dryer sheets.

Tonka Bean, Madagascar Vanilla, & Agarwood

This wasn't as sweet as I was expecting. A nice unisex blend with staying power of over 12 hours! -
Frankincense, Bourbon Vanilla, & Hazelnut

What it says on the label. It very much reminds me of a coffee blend. And it's got some wear to it. It was still going strong 15 hours after application (including sleeping), but for the most part it didn't have much throw.
