Harvest Moon: Campfire Smoke and Bay Rum
Numanoid replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Sniffing in the bottle, I get a bit of the rum, but not really detecting campfire smoke. But there is something that is making the rum smell a bit... cooked? Not sure if that is right, but it isn't a boozy smell. On, the smokiness comes out a bit more. Kind of gives it a more cologne-y smell to it. More of a manly scent to me, but stays close to the skin and doesn't morph too much. The rum is in the background. To me, this might be more of a scent for a guy, but I had to get it to see. Can be unisex, but not sure this is for me.- 2 replies

Not sure what I can add that hasn't already been said above.... sniffing this is a lovely coconut vanilla Snake Oil. It actually reminds me a little bit of Snow Snake but without the 'snow' note. It has great throw on me. Warms up to a sweet coconut snake oil cake! This is very delicious.

Oh I love this! I don't get any molasses, but I do get the awesome S.O. and rich thick berry pie filling. I get a hint of crust as well. I get all that sniffing but on, it is even better! It mellows out a bit on me, but very present. This is a rich dark berry scent as noted above. Very happy I grabbed this and might get a BU bottle if still available when I have more funds!! This will be even more amazing when aged!! Grab it while you can if you are a fan of S.O.!!!

Oh yummy!!!! Just got this. Sniffing in the bottle, rich deep chocolate!! There is a slight hint of a dry cocoa feel to it to my nose. But you need this if you are any type of chocolate lover! I usually use my HG's on damp hair, but had to put this on now in my dry hair and I didn't use much but in a heavenly cloud of chocolate!! This isn't as mild as milk chocolate, but not a heavy dark chocolate! It is a perfect medium with good throw. I would take a sip if it were edible. Which I won't of course, but oh man... I am really loving this!!

Ruby peppermint, Moroccan white mint, red currant, wild plum, neroli, green tea, and cassis. OOh....the first!! All right... Sniff: In decant....nice, light, minty and a hair fruity! On Skin: Fruitiness fades a bit....there is that same mintiness, but it is turning into more of a menthol. Kind of reminds me of fancy Pine-Sol. Drydown: Stays about the same. Not a strong throw. Very pale mint and a hint of some fruit to it. Kind of not a good explanation, but don't think this is for me. Still reminds me of a sort of cleaner.

After reading reviews, I had to get a bottle!! Sniffing in the bottle, all gingerbread! I get a chewy gingerbread cookie scent, but minus the cookie, which I know doesn't make much sense! On my skin, I get a ginger/cinnamon vibe. Not detecting any hot cocoa. As it dries, I think I am getting a hint of some sort of cocoa/chocolate scent. It isn't much, but I still love this. Medium throw on me and I think this will be even better with age!

So glad I grabbed a bottle of this. Sniffing in the bottle, I get the wonderful S.O we all love. Not sure if it is the musk, but to me, it smells just like aged S.O. Very good. On my skin, the cold, snowy note comes out. I get the same Snow White impression but it has that S.O edge to it. Not musky on me either. This is so good and has a great throw. Might consider a BU bottle!!

Sniffing in the bottle, I get the sweet marshmallow, but it isn't like the sugary sweet scent like when you sniff a bag of them. There is something else keeping it tame. It is almost like a drop of Snow White in there. On, the same sweetness warms up and is more prominent, but soft at the same time. I get a 'wet watery' note in there, but that too isn't strong. Guessing that is the snow note. If you love Snow White, you will love this. Has that added sweetness with the marshmallow but it stays close and isn't a strong scent. Very pretty, sweet (not too much) and lovely!

Sniffing in the bottle, I get an almost chemical/candy scent. On my skin, there is a bit of that musk/forest scent as listed, it is odd, but in a good way. As it dries, a bit of sweetness from the caramel and toffee comes out. Not sure I am getting any chocolate or butterscotch out of this, but this is so odd that it is kind of good. It has a medium throw and lasts quite a while. I can say as a foodie/gourmand lover of scents, I actually like this one. It is sort of both, but then not really. The musk isn't overpowering (as it usual does on me) and the forest part is there. All well balanced in this blend. I am digging it!!

I am a sucker for any kind of coffee scent! When I first sniffed this, it reminded me of a softer version of Bah! The coffee is light and sweetened up by the vanilla! On, I get the coffee and the chocolate and a little bit of cookie. This actually is a soft scent on me and stays close to the skin. I love it, but hoping it will maybe get a wee bit stronger as it sits. I miss Bah! and would love to have a strong coffee scent like that one was! But it is still amazing!
-
This one is amazing!! Got that sufganiyot pasty vibe we all know and love! The blackberry and apple along with it smell so good together! It is a blackberry/apple pie filling smell to me. Not a super sweet fruit scent. This is a comfy yummy scent!!
-
I was excited and a bit worried to get this one. The description online mentions a muskiness, (which I am not a fan of) but had to have it. When I first sniffed it, I got a huge blast of musk with a drop of S.O. in there somewhere! I let it rest a couple days and then gave it a try. It is so amazing! The musk is there but it is in the background. I think it adds to the gingerbread and molasses. This stayed on me all day and I kept getting whiffs of it! The vanilla keeps it a bit tame, but this is a bit more on the strong side and I think it will get richer the longer it sits. Very happy I got a bottle!

This one is SO good!! Sniffing in the bottle, I get the pumpkin and gingerbread! On my skin, those notes stay true and the creamy/crust notes come out. On me it has a medium throw and lasts a long time. Not too overbearing.

This is so good. Smells like a close relative to Snake Skin. On, it still reminds me of that but I detect the spices coming through as well! If you are any kind of fan of S.O and leather, this is a scent for you!

Straight from the mailbox, sniffing, there is pumpkin and incense. Not cloying or heavy like I thought it might be, which to me, isn't a bad thing! On my skin, like above, I get pumpkin, but not the sweet pumpkin spice, but real aged pumpkin with a swirl of soft incense. Not too shabby.. have to see how this one ages.

So, I have never tried an espresso martini, but they sound amazing! Sniffing this (got it straight from the mailbox) I can smell a faint coffee/slight martini scent. On my skin, as it warms up, it stays the same. Light throw and not getting any pumpkin spice. Mostly a very light coffee alcohol. Stays close to the skin and not a lot of throw, but it needs to warm up a bit. I am just too anxious to wait!! It is very nice.

"Everything okay here?" said a cop inside. Shadow's first, automatic instinct was to say Yup, everything's just fine and jimdandy thank you officer. But it was too late for that, and he started to say, "I think I'm freezing. I was walking into Lakeside to buy food and clothes, but I underestimated the length of the walk"-he was that far through the sentence in his head, when he realized that all that had came out was "F-f-freezing," and a chattering noise, and he said, "So s-sorry. Cold. Sorry." The cop pulled open the back door of the car and said, "You get in there this moment and warm yourself up, okay?" Shadow climbed in gratefully, and he sat in the back and rubbed his hands together, trying not to worry about frostbitten toes. The cop got back in the driver's seat. Shadow stared at him through the metal grille. Shadow tried not to think about the last time he'd been in the back of a police car, or to notice that there were no door handles in the back, and to concentrate instead on rubbing life back into his hands. His face hurt and his red fingers hurt, and now, in the warmth, his toes were starting to hurt once more. That was, Shadow figured, a good sign. The cop put the car in drive and moved off. "You know, that was," he said, not turning to look at Shadow, just talking a little louder, "if you'll pardon me saying so, a real stupid thing to do. You didn't hear any of the weather advisories? It's minus thirty out there. God alone knows what the windchill is, minus sixty, minus seventy, although I figure when you're down at minus thirty, windchill's the least of your worries." "Thanks," said Shadow. "Thanks for stopping. Very, very grateful." "Woman in Rhinelander went out this morning to fill her bird feeder in her robe and carpet slippers and she froze, literally froze, to the sidewalk. She's in intensive care now. It was on the TV this morning. You're new in town." It was almost a question, but the man knew the answer already. "I came in on the Greyhound last night. Figured today I'd buy myself some warm clothes, food, and a car. Wasn't expecting this cold." "Yeah," said the cop. "It took me by surprise as well. I was too busy worrying about global warming. I'm Chad Mulligan. I'm the chief of police here in Lakeside." The scent of a steaming mug of hot chocolate. I'm first?? Ok then! In decant, pure milk chocolate....simple as that! On skin, very similar to The Other Hot Chocolate to me.....but, if memory serves, TOHC didn't last long on me and it had a low throw. So far, this one is a bit stronger and who doesn't love that? Dry down, this is nice because some cocoa scents can get that dry cocoa aspect to it, but this stays pretty true to a melty chocolate on me. There is a hint of dryness, but not like other's I have tried. Medium throw on me. If you are a cocoa lover but not too happy about the dusty cocoa scent, you might like this one! Bottle worthy! Ok...editing to add something. So, my son LOVES those Kinder chocolate bars. I was wearing this, he walked by me and said, "Do you have a Kinder?" I said, "No." He said, "Well, I need one now!" Guess that tells you how wonderfully chocolate this scent it!

So...any Beaver Moons with Cheesecake notes are usually very good. I didn't know what champurrado is, but thought it should be ok. I got this in a swap and on my, this is soooo awful! I think this is the first time ever I sniffed a bottle I didn't like and actually thought about just throwing it away! Smells like bile... yes, bile. In the bottle and on my skin. I might just actually throw this away... I don't see any positive reviews so I don't think anyone would want to try it. UGH!!!!

Snake Oil in the Pumpkin Patch There's all manner of shenanigans in this year's pumpkin patch! Pumpkin'ized hybrids of GC BPAL scents abound! OOH fun to be first!! Wet in bottle: Mmm...there is that lovely hint of Snake Oil...and some buttery pumpkin! On Skin: First sniff, very snake oil, but then that lovely pumpkin is peeking out around the corner! This is EXACTLY what I was hoping this would smell like!! Drydown: This is AHHHmazing....anyone worried about it being a vegetable-y pumpkin, it is NOT! Very yummy....it is a great mix of Snake Oil and walking through a pumpkin patch. I detect a VERY faint hint of something "hay-like" but no worries for those of you who love SO and pumpkin!!! Get this....get it NOW!!! There is a wonderful sweetness to this as well....foody lovers will love this! Back up bottle worthy! ETA: Half an hour later.... I can't stop sniffing my wrist! Smells so good....great throw as well!!

Sniffing this in the bottle, I get a sharp, herbaly (spelling?) leather. Not bad, but as mentioned, this is not a smooth, worn leather. Sharp black leather to me. On my skin, I instantly get the pine and chocolate. After it dries, the leather comes out again. The chocolate disappears and I get soft pine and leather. After a minute, the vanilla and chocolate show up, but VERY mild. Gotta sniff hard to get them... mild and way in the background. This, to me, is a little masculine. Not too much, but the leather makes it so. Was hoping it would be a little more on the sweet, warm leather/pine scent. It stays close to the skin but kind of sharp overall.

Like mentioned above, I have Oct. 33rd, and when I saw this, I HAD to get it. Sniffing in the bottle, I get very faint pine cones with a hint of what seems like cinnamon tea. On my skin, the ribbon candy shows up, with that mild cinnamon scent. This isn't a red hot cinnamon and it isn't a baking cinnamon. But cinnamon tea is the best description I can think of. As it dries, I get a whiff of the pumpkin cookies. I love this!! It isn't a heavy scent, close to the skin and not a lot of throw. It is a wonderful festive scent, Fall or Winter. I am always afraid of any pine scents, and if you are too, not to worry!!

Just got my bottle today.. excited to try this!! Sniffing in the bottle, I do get a powdered sugar lemon scent. Not too sweet, not too sour! On my skin, I get more of a boozy powdered lemon cookie vibe! Oh this smells amazing! As it dries, it stays the same...sweet lemony curd bakery scent, with a drop of booze. The 'booze' is in the background and isn't overpowering the other notes, as booze notes tend to do on me. This will make a wonderful spring/summer scent. But I will wear it anytime!
-
This smells so good! Just like it says... in the bottle, marshmallow and peppermint! I put some in my dry hair and it reminds me a little of Boo Hg but with the peppermint added in! A vanilla-y marshmallow with the candy cane! I love peppermint scented things, but sadly the perfume oils that have peppermint (like the Lick it's) all faded away super fast. So far, this is amazing!! I can smell the cloud of goodness around me. It isn't overpowering but glad I can smell it. Very sweet but not tooth-achingly so! Oh this is soooo good!
-
So excited to get this... anything S.O. I usually HAVE to have. Got this today so can't wait to test it. In the bottle, sniffing, there is that lovely Snake Oil. I do get a little bit of pastry like the other other sufganiyots. On my skin oh my!!! I get the lovely S.O and that yummy pastry. It is a wonderful S.O. pastry smoky thing, if that makes sense! This is good right off the bat and I think this will age into something super amazing!

First off, thank you HerbGirl for answering my ISO for this bottle!!! ❤️ So glad I got a hold of some! Sniffing in the bottle, sweet crisp apple and lovely S.O.! I am a sucker for anything S.O. On my skin, stays the same of how it smells and it is wonderful! I get the sweet apple and S.O. Neither seems to be overpowering the other... a nice mild blend of both. As it dries, the S.O. is a bit more out in front, but the apple is there. This has a medium throw on me. Can't wait to see how this one ages!
