Wet: Uplifting. Sweet, clean, and softly golden. Drydown: This is a pale, golden scent, like sunbeams through a window. Clean with an herbal sweetness. The lavender develops and steps forward more as it dries. Dry: A soft, misty burst of sunlit lavender. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: The familiar lemony-tea-sugar of Dorian, with something tempering it slightly. Drydown: Sweet, creamy, and citrussy, like a very sophisticated lemon meringue pie. Bergamot, vanilla, and Dorian share the spotlight evenly, with lavender and oakmoss granting just enough of a nod to gentlemanly cologne to dial down the foodie factor and amp up the sexiness. Dry: It's basically Dorian reformulated to work on my skin the way it works on most everybody else. Soooo sexy and delicious. It's gorgeous! 9 out of 10 bones

Wet: Cocoa...a wet and creamy cocoa, like melted chocolate ice cream or unfinished hot chocolate that has gone cold. There's a hint of something else in there too. Drydown: Aha! It's amber I think, or whatever's in Snake Oil that smells amberish. There's defnitely some shifting going on, as the notes battle it out for dominance. I'm mostly getting sweet cream (the rice milk and vanilla), a rotation of snake oil's secrets (amber one moment, spices the next, incense the next, ??musk after that??), and the original cocoa note, which has been fading its way out of the mix. Dry: The cocoa has become dry and regained some of its strength. Teakwood has saddled up next to it, lending an earthy, at-times-almost-coniferous, comforting woodiness to the blend. The snake oil has settled down into a musky support note. The most prominent note might actually be the rice milk, but it has such a gentle nature that it's not really obvious. The overall impression is dusty, resinous, soft, and milky. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Dry patchouli, almost leathery. A soft red musk is present too. Drydown: Red, earthy, dry, and soft. It has a yearning, lusty feeling indeed. There's a little bit of sweetness to it that must be coming from the cinnamon, though I'm not really picking up on it directly. A touch of the floral aspect of dragon's blood is coming through too. Dry: Gah, I really like this, but it also really reminds me of my ex, who wore Dragon's Hide a lot. It's softer and prettier than Dragon's Hide (and quite sexy), but I can't get over the scent memory issue. A little too reminiscent, but an absolutely beautiful scent. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Oh. My. God. This is pure actual brownie batter. How the heck did they fit that into this little tiny imp!!??? Drydown/Dry: It doesn't really morph, it just sort of settles into my skin to become a delicious brownie batter musk that brings out the fruitiness of my own natural skin chemistry. It's very wearable for a foodie scent. Oh-so-indulgent, without being in your face about it. (okay, maybe a little in your face, but you can get away with it! lol) 7.5 out of 10 bones

Wet: Sweet, golden, and gleaming, a tad herbal and a tad metallic—a warm, non-sharp metallic specifically. Drydown/Dry: Honey-sweet and yummy with hints of metal and wood and something rosin-like mixed in. It's an interesting combination of delicious and ruggedly tactile. This would be great layered with one of the Steamworks blends. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Alluring. A bit of spicy creaminess paired with dark aquatic notes. Drydown: Deep, dark waters sexed up with resins and spice. A melange of greens and browns. It's gender neutral and a tad Christmas-y. Dry: Even more Christmas-y as it dries, thanks to a menthol-type note has become prominent. It's refreshing and quite different from where it began. Cool, ozone-y greens grounded by sweet resins. Atmospheric. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Plummy and soft. There's an earthiness balancing out the fruitiness. Drydown: Sweet spices, creamy musk, a hint of resins, and a fleshy drop of plum. The notes kind of tumble around each other as it dries. Sometimes the plum sings, other times dark musk has a moment, and sometimes sugared earth takes the stage. They all play very well with each other. Candied, yet soft and musky. Dark, yet happy. Dry: Something skews...off once dry. Like a mustiness sort of. After that, the blend flattens out, leaving a plummy, spicy, dusty musk that reads like a shadow of its former self. 7 out of 10 bones

Wet: Dark, sticky black cherry and woody spices. A hint of a deep golden gleam as well. Drydown/Dry: Dark, like a deep, slightly burnt brown sugar caramel. Woody and sort of buttery. The initial blast of cherry burns off, it's just kind of vibing in the background now. Aged oak and yummy spices and yeah, buttery, smokey, darkly sweet bourbon goodness. It smells decadent and ...experienced? Like this bourbon's seen some shit. This bourbon knows what it's doing and ain't gonna waste its time with no fads (even if it totally does have a soft spot for cherry). This is some good shit. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: A botanical explosion! Flowers, greenery, and a spritzing of citrus. Clean and bright, and not remotely shy. Drydown: The botanical garden train continues, with some fresh herbs joining in. Lemony bright, but soft and sort of fuzzy (hello sage!). Dry: The clean headiness of jasmine settles in at the core of this blend, flanked by lemon and sage, and lifted by lily. Complex but serene. 8.5 out of 10 bones

Wet: Clean and cool. A fresh, blue-green sort of scent. Drydown/Dry: A cool, semi-sweet aquatic. I get a touch of minerals/metallics mixed in too. Ozoney, yet grounded, yet glossy. It reminds me of liquid soap, both in scent and in the texture it evokes. 8.5 out of 10 bones

Wet: A soft brightness. Tart and delicate, a little musky, a little sweet, not quite floral but somehow leaning in that direction. Drydown: The juicy tang of bergamot partnered by dark, dusky myrrh. It grows bolder and more masculine as it dries. Dry: Woodsy, cool fir and sour myrrh swirled up in a storm of resins. Woodsy, sexy, dirty, and clean. I would love to snuggle up to the person that wears this 😍 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Fresh and lush. Pretty, but not overly feminine. Drydown: Complex greenery, slightly sweet, slightly earthy. I can pick up the honey note in the throw more-so than at the skin. It's sexy without being sexual, if that makes sense. Dry: Soft gardenia sits at the core of the scent, keeping it feeling clean and lush. A soft, warm, fresh, complex sort of scent. Very well-blended. 7.5 out of 10 bones

Wet: Clean and charming. Kind of sweet. Drydown: Suds and some sort of delicious goodness. I'm not really getting AMBER. It's more like ...amber? ...plus floral? ...plus cream? All I can say for sure is that it's beautiful. Milky and warm and clean and foggy for sure. Like a warm fog. Baby's breath even. Dry: The aquatic notes amp up, bringing a sweet, cooling blue-green hue to the blend. It still has that warm, foggy, slightly creamy quality too. Refreshing in the gentlest way. 8.5 out of 10 bones

Wet: It smells like the all of the fillings of a large box of chocolates, combined. So much so that it seems like I can actually smell the chocolate too. Drydown: Sweet, fluffy nougat (think Three Musketeers) with an intriguing green spice. Sweet, soft, and warm, with a bit of a tingle to it. As it dries the mintiness becomes more apparent, pushing out the warmth with its chill. Instead of nougat I'm now getting cinnamon ice cream, whipped cream, and old fashioned candies. Dry: Sugar, spice, and everything nice! This definitely captures the nostalgia of Christmas and childhood; like the game Candyland somehow captured in a fragrance. Sweet, soft, cool AND warm, a touch herbal, and full of whimsy. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Shadows on shadows on shadows! Drydown: Dark, deep, smokey, almost-woody, just a hint of golden sweetness, and sort of hazy. There's an earthy murkiness to it that grows as it dries. Something about it smells unnatural. Tar-like even. Dry: Sweeter, though still dark and definitely spooky. It's like a charming shadow-and-soot monster. 7.5 out of 10 bones

Tell me what kinds of coffee you like- whole bean? Grind? (If grind, what type?) Flavors? Light roast? Dark Roast? Ground please! I don't have a grinder, so I just buy pre-ground. (I use an aeropress, which recommends using a fine grind or espresso grind, but I find it works just fine with a regular grind). Medium and dark roasts preferred. I like hazelnut and irish cream and pumpkin spice and all those nice and nutty/creamy/bakery-type flavors. I'm always up for trying something unusual too. LMK if you want anything from Mexico because I'm definitely going across for my birthday on the 29th! Ooh, have fun! I've never been to Mexico or anywhere near it, so I'm not even sure what sorts of things to consider. I do enjoy a good smokey spice though (chipotle, paprika) and I treat sauces/condiments like they're pokemon (gotta collect 'em all!), so something in that vein would be lovely. What are your favourite colours? Are you happy with Valentine's themed colours? Historically, purple is my most favorite color, although in recent years I've been skewing towards blue-greens and soft/muted greens pretty hard. Blush tones have made their way into my life as well. I also love copper and rose gold. As for Valentine's colors, I love me a good rich red, like a deep cherry or wine or oxblood. And my preferred pinks are the paler peachy and blush toned ones. And I'll never be mad at a cool-toned neutral, like black, grey, or navy blue. Wishlist links: etsy | amazon | pinterest | bpal Jewelry?? Types? Sizes? Styles? Colors? Certainly! I love dangly, fishhook-type earrings and clasps (no posts please) and I'd like to get back into wearing rings (more delicate ones, in sizes 10 and 10.5). No bracelets please, and only lightweight necklaces that are long. I gravitate towards stones that are in the milky/iridescent realm, like opals and moonstone, as well as blue-green stones and purple stones. Rose quartz can be nice too. Tear drop shapes are my fav. All metals are welcome, but I especially like gold, copper, and rose gold. Would you be interested in anything from Ravenstone? I've been eyeing a pair of earrings from them for a while, but don't get them for me! lol - I might buy something for my target, in which case I'll add the earrings into my cart when I do so. I'd be open to their candles or incense or bath/body products though! Do you have any interest in journals, planners, habit trackers, etc.? A blank/non-structured (or lightly structured) journal would be cool, and possibly a habit tracker too. Oh, and a wall calendar would be welcome! Do you have a goodreads account or somewhere that tracks which books you've already read/own? I sure do - goodreads What notes of coffee do you like? (answered in the other coffee question) What kind of tea do you like? Type (loose leaf vs bag), and also flavours? I use both loose leaf and bagged. I love chai and mint and green teas. Fall/winter flavors like apple, pumpkin, chestnut, and spice too. Lighter fruits like peach and tropical fruits, as well as herbals (especially lavender) are all good too! Would you be interested in anything from https://snagtights.com/, and if so, what is your size? Opaque or ribbed tights in darker solids, size F. Mock garters, fishnets, or leggings would be cool too. Are you interested in secondhand oracle/tarot decks? No to oracle cards, and tarot cards...maybe. I have a decent sized collection already, so only if it's an aesthetic you really think fits my vibe. What category of makeup (and what shades) are you most interested in? A muted greigey-pink matte blush would be amazing. Also, eye makeup in matte neutrals or lighter colored duochromes. I don't really need new lipsticks rn, but a berry/burgundy tinted balm would be nice. And nail polish is always welcome - check my "Nails" list on etsy for colors I like! Are you interested in ritual oils (e.g. Twilight Alchemy Lab stuff)? If so, what kind of intentions/magic resonate with you right now? Yes! Anything for focus/concentration, creativity, selling/business, as well as healing would be wonderful ❤️ Are you interested in incense? What formats? I prefer the shorter stick incense and cones. And I'm not picky on scents. Super specific, but pls note if you are a fan of Taylor Swift Not really, sorry! Sizing for tights? I'm 5'4 and wear size 18 pants, so hopefully that should give you an answer on most size charts. If not, ask about the specific brand and I'll let you know! Are you open to loose shadows/bullet lipsticks? Loose shadows yes. And I'm pretty set on lipsticks, but it's not like I'd be mad about getting one. If you said yes to hats or mittens, what sort of patterns or designs do you like? Mittens/gloves would be great. I'd wear them for warmth, so function over form when it comes to design. Thin but warm, and soft would be a plus! Are you into citrus/ fruity scents? Citrus - absolutely, especially lime. For fruity it depends. I wear a lot of cherry and enjoy a good wine note. I like apple and orange-family-fruits, but my skin usually eats them. I also like pear, champagne grape, pineapple, and mango. I can do strawberry, peach, plum, and fig, but I'm not crazy about them. Coconut seems to work when it's a supporting player but not the star. Which florals are a yes/no? Death notes? I love gardenia. I also like hyacinth, wisteria, lilac, jasmine, olive blossom, osmanthus, poppy, carnation, and tuberose. Violet is okay in small quantities and when balanced with sweeter notes (it can skew high-pitched otherwise). Orris and iris are death notes. Lotus is a no-go too. Rose and most other flowers are in the risky category. Generally the risky florals work best when sweetened up by other notes. Are you into Skincare/haircare? Sheet masks/cleansers/hair masks? False lashes? Yes to skincare. I like sheet masks, toners, cleansers, scrubs. I could use a good foot lotion or a lightweight face lotion with SPF. No hair masks or falsies, please. Does honey work with your skin chem? Buttercream? Honey is GREAT. Not sure about buttercream, but it sounds a little heavy for my skin needs. Maybe just for a foot lotion. If you said "yes" to OCYL, which houses have you been dying to try? Which ones aren't compatible with your skin chem? No other companies for perfume, but yes for all the other things. I'm game to try anything. Do you have a personal motto or favorite quote that you would like incorporated into either some stationery/notecards, or done up in calligraphy? Your time is now.

Wet: Ooh, this is fancy and sort of sexy, yet understated. Whispers of incense and dust and musk. Drydown: A gently warm, rich, powdery, musky sandalwood. So calming and grounding. There's a bit of sweetness and woody tang to it, but it's also earthy and smokey and it all balances out to a perfectly smooth finish. Some spiciness, but it's quiet. Grey yes, but there's also a soft, golden-amber glow. Sophisticated but approachable. Dry: It stays true. Sniffing it I'm picturing hugging a particular type of person. Steady, reliable, well-read, experienced, considerate, spiritual, wise, a smart dresser. This is the person everyone needs when they're going through it. They'll help you with your paperwork, make you some soup, give you a few perfectly-stated words of advice that you'll mull over and appreciate more and more later. This is that one really good friend/mentor/older cousin that you don't see often, but cherish every time you do. They probably own a bookshop. They definitely drink tea. 8.5 out of 10 bones

Wet: Deep, dark, sticky Luxardo cherries. These are the extra fancy kind, ya'll. It's tempered some by the accompanying notes, though none are standing out individually just yet. Drydown into Dry: Deep, beautiful red. The sweetness of the cherry is there, but it's dry somehow. The carnation's work I imagine. This blend conjures the luscious and erotic romance of a deep red rose, without actually being rosey at all, which I appreciate. As it dries the carnation steps to the forefront, and the cherry settles back, with just a kiss of honey holding it into place so it doesn't disappear completely. There's a hint of spice, but not much. It's like the perfect Old Fashioned, minus the booze. Decadent, sensual, and confident af. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Soft, dark vanilla. A quiet vanilla. Drydown: A cloudy, pillowy, whisper-light vanilla over a deeper, slightly-spicy, woodier note. Not at all foodie, it's more of an atmospheric scent. ...I know I just said it's not foodie, but as it dries and deepens, it actually reminds me a lot of circus peanuts. Dry: What I'm affectionately dubbing "circus peanut musk" over planks of vanilla-stained balsam. Dry, sweet, creamy, airy, woody. Deliriously cozy, like getting lost in a cuddle. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Sweet, shimmery, and greenish-gold. Drydown: A deep, spicy green blend of cypress, balsam, and bay sits in the middle, surrounded by splendid rays of light. Sweet, musky, resinous, and fresh. The overall impression is almost foresty (but not quite), almost cologney (but not quite), and almost perfumey (but not quite). It shimmers but doesn't gleam. Dry: It smells like breathing in magical forest air during golden hour, with a hunky centaur at your side. It's faery sex. Masculine-leaning faery sex. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Fluffy, buttery, creamy... butter fluff? Drydown: Butteriness verging on nuttiness, grounded by a smooth wood note. There's an unexpected depth and darkness to this otherwise fluffy blend, that at first I think might be the chai spices, but after reviewing the note list, I'm thinking it's gotta be the scorched aspect of the marshmallow. Yeah - it's definitely got more of smokey smouldering quality that I wouldn't expect from chai spices. This is more of an atmostpheric and tactile scent than I was expecting (I was braced for a sweeter affair). The only really foodie vibe I'm getting is from the buttercream, with the emphasis on the butter part. The marshmallow is there as more of a fluffy feeling than as a sugary scent, and I'm hardly able to find the honey. This is in some ways more than what I was expecting (smokey! evocative! wearable!) , and in other ways less (where's the chai? and honey?). Dry: This is all stick and smokey, charred af marshmallow, and I'm loving it! 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Soap and wood and something sort of pungent. Drydown: Old-fashioned amber-hued soap, wood, and a touch of smoke and spice. There's something familiar and comforting about this blend, though there's something sort of off about it too. It reminds me of several places I've been all mixed together. This is a time traveling scent. Dry: A crumbly, dry, leafy, woody, herbal sort of flurry of dusty bits held together by balsam and a whisper of tonka. It smells haunted by the past. Sad almost. It's beautiful in a gentle, aching sort of way. Wistful. That's the word. It reminds me of the Tavern of Hell both in scent and in the imagery it evokes (like its somber, cleans-up-after-the-party cousin). It's truly an experience. Not at all what I was expecting. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: The briney bite of ambergris over a flurry of softer, sweeter notes. Drydown: An almost metallic, yet soft and smooth ambergris, kissed by cocoa, peach fuzz, and a melange of tropical notes. It's sort of shimmery and unlike anything I've ever smelled before. The tropical vibe gains strength as it continues to dry. There's something incredibly sultry about this one. Dry: The notes have all blurred together, creating this sensual, dark tropical cologne that is absolutely stunning. It smells like firelight on the beach and lusty thoughts. 8 out of 10 bones

Wet: Plummy, chocolatey, powdery, and supple. It reminds me of chocolate covered raisins and Ovaltine. Drydown: Jasmine comes out as soon as it touches the skin, but it doesn't take over. Powdery chocolate seems to be the top note initially, but there's a lot of complexity and morphing here. The plum shows two sides at once - matched with the jasmine and lavender it creates a distinctly purple floriental vibe, but at the same time it also partners with the cocoa and sugar, bringing out its jammier aspects. By the end of the drydown the foodie notes fade out and the jasmine and lavender come to the forefront, creating a lush, heady-yet-herbal perfume that's spiked by tart plum. Dry: A plummy, jasmine-forward floriental. Seductive and flirty. 7.5 out of 10 bones
