Green, green grass with a hint of peony and just a touch of lemon peel. This is so light and refreshing! Beautiful!!!
-
THis first reminded me of The Premature Burial but I swear there is a buttery, toffee note to this. I love the mossy dirt scents but the addition of the butter toffee is genius! Another love!!!
-
Lovely! The poppy and cyprus together are just divine. The orchid is light as is the myrrh. No black currant at all. This was a frimp from the Lab and it's sold me on purchasing a large bottle. Simply lovely!!!
-
The fig is very strong in this. There is some earthiness with the patchouli and a tiny bit of spice from the clove but mostly this is fig. It's not bad but it is a little to "something" for me.
-
Beautiful! Morocco is a very airy oil. There isn't one single scent that weighs this down. The sandalwood is usually stronger on my skin but this is very light which I think is due to the musk. The cassia gives this a sweeter, slightly spicy, woody scent. Just beautiful!!
-
I had no interest in trying this when I first heard about it. It took a bottle of Peony Moon to sell me on Mi-Go. And I am so pleased with how this turned out! Mi-Go is sweet and fruity and flowery but not in an overpowering way. This is all about the musk, tea and peony on my skin. There is the faintest scent of kiwi and mango but only enough to make Mi-Go a bit tangy. I just cann't believe how good this smells!

The fir and birch are most predominate. It takes a while for those scents to burn off a bit and allow the other ingredients to come through. The florals are very light mixed with the fir and birch. There is a berry smell but not a summer berry. Not sure what it is but it smells nice in the mix. Not a wearable smell for summer but I'll definitely be wearing this once winter hits!
-
I'm always iffy about foody scents but this is really rather nice! There is boozy blackberry and a sweet creamy cocoa scent. The scent is so rich I can almost taste it. Deelish!
-
There is something sweet and fruity in this right off but I am unsure what it is. The florals make the scent very white and crisp. After a while I get the bubblegum scent others are picking up on. Too sweet for me.
-
Wow! The fir, clove and orange blossom together are incredible. The cumin finally shows up after this sits on my skin for a couple minutes. It almost smells like there is some lime in this. Dracul is very strange for me. I love the smell of this but it isn't something I'd want to wear on a regular basis.
-
This smells sweet and fruity. I adore the rose and jasmine combination. There is a wonderful green smell to this that keeps this from becoming too floral. I get no vanilla at all in this. Euphrosyne is just amazing. I am very pleased with how this smells!!
-
This is lovely! Musk, jasmine and rose but no one scent is overpowering the others. The scent is so heady and adult. I used to think of florals as a girly, young scent but the Lab makes florals smell mature. Rapture is not exception. This is incredibly sexy.

First on this is cardamom and leather.The patchouli shows up a bit later but very very faint. The bourbon is barely there. I really love the blending of cardamom and leather in Spanked. Leather on its own smells wonderful but the addition of cardamom mamkes this truly wicked. Spanked is a winner!
-
First off, there is a spice. Cinnamon perhaps? It isn't very strong but it is there. And the musk! And sandalwood! There is also a sweetness to this that plays very nicely with the other ingredients. Blood Moon is very incensy on my skin. The grains only appear after this has been on my skin for 30 minutes or so. Blood Moon is a very rich oil once the spice wears down a bit. I am in love!
-
This is a very interesting scent. I was worried about the mint being in here but it isn't strong enough to be unpleasant. It's mint straight from the garden and not from chewing gum or breath mints. The mosses come out first and makes this a very green scent. The ambergris is light and soften up the smell of the mosses. And then the mint appears. Just enough mint to keep this smelling fresh. Surprisingly lovely!!

Goneril is strongly lily-scented. I get a little bit of geranium but not much else. This just smells of soap on my skin. It isn't a bad scent at all, just very soapy. ADDED August 31: Goneril is really nice! The cedar is there but isn't overpowering at all. The florals keep the cedar from smelling too strong. I love calla lilies and I love them as a perfume note. The play of the white flower and cedar is intriguing. This is neither too flowery nor too woody. Goneril is a very regal scent.
-
Oakmoss and patchouli! This is like a lighter version of The Premature Burial (thank goodness I found something that can replace my beloved TPB when my bottles run out). Greed is a very earthy, woody scent. I am in love!!
-
An opiate torpor, soporific, trancelike, and sublimely languid. A poet’s morphine dream, a listless journey into a gentle dream and the precipice of intoxicated madness. Paperwhite and black narcissus, three lilies, black poppy and tuberose and a hint of hypnotic opium den haze. This scent fits its name. There are florals but I swear I am getting a little bit of musk that keeps this from becoming an old lady perfume on me. I can't pick out one scent from the other at all. This is so lovely and delicate.
-
This smells strongly of sassafrass which I just do not like. The buttered rum is there but is mostly overpowered by the sassafrass. I can't help it, I just do not like this one.
-
This is good stuff! The musk is very strong but very soft. More of a delicate musk than an animal musk like Satyr. The patchouli isn't the "stinky hippy" scent at all. It lends an earthiness to the musk but doesn't overpower it at all. I only smell a little bit pf poppy but it is just enough to round this oil out. This is another scent I purchased because of American Gods and another bottle to be added to my must have list. This is an amazing opposite scent to Czernobog.
-
Wilde is such an elegant and clean scent. The thyme, bergamot and lavender are all there and the moss rounds everything out. This is incredibly nice. It does smell like a traditional men's cologne but it isn't too manly that a woman couldn't wear it. I do belive this will be going on my large bottle list. So happy I received a frimp of this because I wouldn't have gotten an imp for myself.

White rose must be sweeter than red because this is very much sweeter than the other roses I've tried (Rose Red, Love in the Asylum, Venus...). This is also a much softer rose scent. it takes some time for the resins to show up but they are present. Parlement of Foules is a much more approachable rose, less haughty. About the same time the resins show up, a very bitter green scent also appears. Another perfect rose scent!

Mars is what I imagine brimstone (not the Lab's Brimstone, however) to smell like. I don't smell cinnamon at all. It's the clove I am getting first but it is blended with a smokiness that doesn't come from wood. Pepper and ozone! This is an amazing opposite to Venus.
-
Another boozy scent! The pear scent is strong and pairs nicely with the lotus. The wine gives it a nice summery crispness. Very interesting!!
-
There must be something with my chemestry today because many scents are coming off as boozy to me. Snow Angel is no exception. This reminds me of a crisp peach cordial. The scent is very addictive. I swear I feel a little drunk from sniffing my wrist!
