Softly, softly, hear the rustle Of the Spirits airy wings; They are coming down to mingle Once again with earthly things, With their rapping, and their tapping Rap-tap-tap to wake our napping, In the restless dream of error: Hear the weird the Spirit brings – Rap-tap-tap lost friends are near you; Rap-tap-tap they see and hear you; In their mystic converse rappy They declare good Spirits happy. Gently, gently, they are timid If a medium is not there; They may leave you in delusion, And dissolve again to air. Tis no fable – beings able – Rap-tap-tap upon a table; And their language is translated, While the watch with guardian care Rap-tap-tap lost friends are near you; Rap-tap-tap they see and hear you; In their mystic converse rappy They declare good Spirits happy Spirit Rappings, lyrics by T.E. Garrett, music by W.W. Rossington A joyful undeath: candied orange and pink peppercorn, sugared freesia petals, vanilla bean, and white honey.

Also known as the Dead Head Dragon, this is a guardian of rot, rust, and revelation, feeding on spiritual decay and quietly hoarding the sordid secrets of the powerful. A dead-head purple-brown crelly polish.
-
The tiniest of dragons, these flirty, silly, and theatrical beasts build their nests in gilded opera boxes, toy stores, and above confectionaries and sweet shops. A flirtatious pink jelly polish with sparkling and shifting shimmer.
-
Cheerful, loquacious, and attention-grabbing, Coquelicot Dragons are bold, confident, lively, and crackling with infectious laughter. They are most often found perched at festivals, concerts in the park, and block parties. A bright, warm orange jelly packed with shifting flakies. Buildable in opacity, please note this polish is meant to have a translucent jelly coverage.

Rarely glimpsed except in reflections or the flicker of fading film, the Bastard-Amber Dragon drifts through time like a fever dream of Old Hollywood. Born of illusion and artifice, it casts everything in its path in a honeyed glow. A warm, pale peachy crystal jelly with an orange to green iridescent, shimmering aurora.
-
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. A buttery yellow crelly with a warm aurora accent.
-
Contemplative and aloof, the Glaucous Dragon prefers mist-shrouded beachside cliffs, sea-battered ruins, and fog-thick fjords. These dragons are unapproachable and solemn; their scales are the color of weathered stone. Multichrome micro shimmer in a greyed-blue sky jelly polish.

Hungry Ghost Moon: Tomato Leaf and Red Pepper
doomsday_disco posted a topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Tomato Leaf and Red Pepper. -
An experimental version of 2024’s Pink Moon. (Pink Moon 2024: While previous incarnations of our Pink Moon have been a celebration of the first blooms of spring, this year’s scent is a strawberry smackdown: sugar-swirled strawberry milk with frothed marshmallow cream.)
-
I deathmatched my decant of this with what remains of my decant of Pink Moon 2024. You can tell these are related, but I prefer the released version. I think this might have the same cotton candy note featured in Pink Moon: Marshmallow and Candyfloss Hair Gloss, which wasn't a hair gloss that I enjoyed (but at least this is more pleasant than that hair gloss). But it doesn't have the Nesquick strawberry powder, dairy, or marshmallow of Pink Moon 2024, and I also don't feel like I get the chunk of fresh strawberry that I also get from Pink Moon 2024 after it has been dry for a while. This one is more candy-like thanks to there being so much pink cotton candy cozying up to the strawberry note. I don't need more of this one, but it was fun getting to compare the two!

This one is way too sweet for me. It smells like a thin, cloying honey note over a caramel-y tobacco, to my nose. It has great throw and longevity -- I woke up the next morning and could still smell it, even though it had been on my skin for twelve hours. To me, French Tobacco is still king. But the name is appropriate. So if you're looking for a super sweet tobacco, this might be up your alley.

Hungry Ghost Moon: Wildflower Honey and Sweet Amber Lotion
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lotion
I got a decant (a tiny sample of lotion -- think of it like the size of a little thing of paint) from Ajevie, so I can't comment on the packaging of the lotion. However, I can't imagine that one would have an easy time getting it out of a bath oil style bottle, since it is a thick lotion. It's not as thick as Epically Epic's whipped body butters (which they no longer make ), Blood Moon Botanica's body butters, or Strawberry Boo's frosting-like body butters, nor is it thin and liquidy like Paintbox Soapworks' lotions or Moonalisa's potion lotions or avocado butters. I haven't had one in a while, but I would say the thickness is probably most comparable to Haus of Gloi's pumpkin butters, but this might even be thicker than that, and it is somewhat stickier. If I try to press a finger down into this little pot of lotion, it feels a bit sticky and starts going up the sides of the small container instead of covering my finger in a lot of lotion -- but I like that this is on the thicker side, because I live in the desert and have very dry skin. I find that this doesn't take long to sink in (but again -- I have very dry skin, so you may not have the same experience). As far as the scent goes, this mostly smells like the wildflower honey, which is a golden variety of honey that is very floral. I'd probably pair this with scents like Venus Verticordia, It's All I Have to Bring Today, and Honeyed Weed and Dandelions. I applied this to the back of my hand, and I could still smell it for hours whenever I raised my hand to my nose, but the scent doesn't have much throw, at least, not as much as when you use a bath oil as a moisturizer -- but that could just be because I applied a small amount to the back of my hand, and the result might be different if I had enough of this to slather all over. I was not able to pinpoint the sweet amber note in this, but that's fine with me. I'll probably grab a bottle of this before it goes away to pair it with the above mentioned scents in the spring time. -
Dried Fig Root and Vetiver.

An unused prototype for a literary series.

(I have a decant of We're #1 and probably should have deathmatched them, but I was too lazy to dig it out because I'm trying to get the some prototypes tested and reviewed before the Dragon Con drop on Friday.) I smell something akin to chopped up macerated strawberries on top of what may be a somewhat ozonic shaved ice note. I'm not getting any booze note from it. It's fortunately mostly about the strawberry on me, but I couldn't see myself wearing this over other strawberry scents in my collection, so I won't be upgrading to a bottle.

I agree that this one does not feature the blue raspberry from Aces Wild, nor is there any blueberry representing the blue. I also agree that there is something in here that's snow note-adjacent representing the slush. It makes me think of a lemony eucalyptus cough drop from this during the wet phase of the scent, and later, I get a lemon lime situation that's sweet and a little creamy. I don't mind where this ends up, but the wet phase was unexpected, and I'm not really reminded of a blue slushie. No bottle upgrade for me.
