This smells exactly like last year's atmo, which is to say, it smells DELICIOUS. This is more syrup-drenched pancake on me than coffee, but again, the syrup in this does not smell like most maple syrups. I have not been loving maple as a note the past few years, so that is a good thing, in my book. The syrup is really dark and somehow not cloying, and the pancakes themselves aren't overly buttery. The coffee is even less noticeable on my skin than in the atmo, so that must just be my skin amping up the pancake aspects, compared to other reviewers. If you think you will like this, you probably will. I'm glad I decided to grab perfume oil to go along with my atmo, and I look forward to trying it with Pumpkin Brioche French Toast Hair Gloss when my decant arrives, so that I can smell like the best breakfast! ETA: I slathered this on before heading to work on Wednesday, and the scent just lasted and lasted all day and had a ton of throw, with the sugary glaze of the cruller becoming more prominent as the day went on, cozying up to the syrupy buckwheat pancakes. UGH, it's SO GOOD. Some of the perfume must have gotten on my seatbelt, because now it also smells like the most delicious breakfast.

This is a cherry party on me throughout wear, and I'm here for it. The cherry is a deep, dark black cherry mixed with a candy-like cherry that smells like a cherry Tootsie Pop. I don't get any cola from this, although I do get a caramel-y, syrup-y aspect to the scent after a while, which I attributed to a sweet, syrup-y brown leather note (I should do a side by side with Outlaw, with its brown leather and sassafras), but mayhaps it was also a part of the soda. It reminds me more of a Black Cherry Boylan Soda than a Cherry Coke, but with way less fizziness than actual soda. Unless that syrup-y quality is due to the leather, the leather and motor oil are really subtle on me. And I say this having slathered it all over, including down the length of my forearm, on Saturday. So on me, this is more Cherry Soda/Candy Hearse than Cherry Cola Hearse, emphasis on the cherry. This means there are no complaints from me! I'm curious to see if this remains cherry-centric or gets more industrial as it ages.

Rare, reclusive, and devoted to contemplation, Chartreuse Dragons make their home in high, wooded monasteries carved into moss-draped cliff faces. Its scales shimmer in shifting tones of yellow-green, laced with the scent of lime rind, crushed apothecary herbs, and translucent vegetal musks.

Turns out this is a thing that vampires are into. A warm mug of dark chocolate and cream with a dribble of blood.

Dewy green stems, soft citrus zest, and a breath of summer wind. Bright, herbaceous, and gently soothing — a summer crown of lemon balm leaves crushed between sun-warmed fingers.

Berry-stained and tousled. Sun-drenched raspberries bursting on the vine—sticky-sweet juice, crushed leaves, and a whisper of wild thorns.

Curls of monastic incense, moss-stained stone, snow-laden cypress, medicinal herbs buried deep in winter soil, and glittering icicles splintering from a gargoyle’s frozen scream.

Lady of the Black Cat skull: sweet innocence with a dark mystery, wrapped in black leather and lace, guided by dreams and succumbing to nightmares. Sugared amber, orchid petals, and vanilla chiffon spiced with smoked cardamom.

This is the scent of pure graveyard dust, spattered with grave loam and dusted lightly with tombstone moss.

Sweet-tempered and kind, this emotionally generous dragon has a hoard made not of gold, but of handwritten letters, warm socks, library check out cards, and old mixtapes. Famed throughout the realms for offering a listening ear and a warm hug in lieu of unsolicited advice, it roosts in sun-warmed meadows, secondhand bookstores, and antique shops, and its scales glow softly in shades of sun tea, wildflower honey, and sweet apricot.

While working on the Lupers a few years back, I accidentally made a perfume that smells exactly like Hawaiian Punch.

Amber-bedewed skin musk, golden honey, vanilla cream, and a trickle of sugared lemon. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

My skin brought out none of the nuance of this blend. I tested this twice, because the first time I tried it, it was so lemony that I wondered if some of the lemon juice I had used to make Vaughn Vreeland's Boozy Apple Crunch Cake got on where I applied it. But no, it's all citrus and ozone on me throughout wear, with no reprieve. The neroli is the strongest note at first, but it isn't nearly as sharp or as intense as it usually is on me, and once that calms down, it's a lemon and ozone party. And I'm not getting the sugared aspect of the lemon. I would have liked to get the lavender from this, but at least the neroli was tamer than usual on my skin, and I didn't get any powdery heliotrope or indolic jasmine.

Black Fly Butter Moon is a very strong, almost toffee-like, buttery shortbread cookie scent on me. I swear there's some orange zest in these cookies even though there's no orange mentioned, because I get it very strongly, especially during the wet phase of the scent. It stays mostly about the cookies for a while, but then I was doing dishes some hours later and was hit with a blast of coffee and cocoa which was really nice. I didn't deathmatch the two, but I think this shortbread cookie might be somewhat similar to the cookies in A Little More Tea from the 2016 Lilith scents (if I ever do deathmatch the two, I'll update this post with my results). It also has the richness of Chocolate Stout Cupcake from Yules of yore. I don't think I need a whole bottle of this one, but I think I'll hang onto my decant!

This is a very purple scent that is mostly about the violet and blackberry on me, although the tuberose, orchid, and rose are definitely not far behind those notes (I think my skin just tends to amp the violet). I get some of the myrrh in the background, and dusty is an apt description of this variation of that note -- but I don't get much in the way of the scorched vanilla resin from this on my skin, except when layered with the Vanilla-Infused Frankincense and Raspberry duet. After several hours, the tuberose and orchid do end up overtaking the violet and blackberry, and I get some musk with those notes, as well as more of the myrrh. I layered a drop of these duets with the lunacy scent, and these were my experiences: Layered with Black Butterfly Moon: Vanilla and Tobacco Flower - I mostly got the dirt and sheer vanilla floating over the blackberry-tinged purple flowers of the lunacy scent. Layered with Black Butterfly Moon: Vanilla-Infused Frankincense and Raspberry - I enjoyed the combination of the two scents more than the moon on its own. I'm not sure if the lunacy scent brought out more of the vanilla-infused frankincense from this, or if this brought out more of the vanilla resin in the lunacy, or what, but I definitely get some vanilla and resin with the tart raspberry that floats over the blackberry and purple flowers from the lunacy scent, and the vanilla and resin note make me think of the Bourbon Vanilla bath oil from several years ago (deceptively sweet: bourbon vanilla oleoresin and benzoin resinoid). This isn't a scent that is typically in my wheelhouse -- I don't really enjoy fruity florals or florals with resins, but I got it to try those layering combos, and because the artwork and the goth-y scent description gave me of Yuko Ichihara from xxxHolic vibes. This isn't something I need more than a decant of, but I am glad that I decided to try it.

Looks like someone’s been nibbling a bit too much grass! A sun-faded, plasticky shell of rice milk and marshmallow illuminated from within by 420 watts of weed-wafted glowing green amber.
