Beaver Moon: Graham Cracker & Buttercream Lotion
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Lotion
This smells like graham cracker crust and buttercream, but it also smells like there's some coconut infused into the buttercream. I received compliments on this one when I used it as a hand lotion in the office one day. It pairs perfectly with its moon and will go so well with many other gourmand scents. I'm surprised it's not getting more love. I'm happy I blind bottled it. -

The cherimoya note is the strongest note in this lotion, and it's the same one from Water Bearer. Sadly, I don't seem to appreciate it here, maybe because it's not paired with lavender? It's giving off a candy floral vibe that reminds me of SweeTarts smushed into a floral note -- I think it's the somewhat soapy lemon blossom note combining with it that's putting me off. I'm not able to pick out the green tea, berries, or sandalwood in this one. The lotion is strong and has good throw, so make sure you like it before you slather it on -- fortunately, I only applied it to the back of my hands. I'm glad that I opted for a sample pot, as this one is not for me.

Cherimoya, green tea, lemon blossom, sweet crimson berries, and creamy white sandalwood.

A sinister harvest, a bowl of freshly picked berries left as an offering beneath unsettling lime-tinged moonbeams, their juice staining pale hands red: crushed wild strawberries, night-blooming datura, goblin’s gold moss, dried berry incense, sticky honey, and a slow bleed of blackcurrant sap over cold white musk.

In the First Book of Samuel it is written: “And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul,” (1 Samuel 18:1) and in that binding the axis of a kingdom trembles. Robe, armor, sword, and girdle are given freely, a voluntary unmaking of inheritance in favor of devotion. This is love as sacred oath, not fever but fidelity, a bond forged in the shadow of Saul’s rising wrath and the uncertainty of exile. When David laments, “thy love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women” (2 Samuel 1:26) grief becomes testimony and loyalty becomes scripture. Jonathan’s renunciation is ego relinquished so that another may ascend, sulfur tempered by mercy, ambition dissolved into covenantal gold. Here the Lovers stand not in garden innocence but beneath the weight of throne and spear, choosing allegiance over advantage, devotion over dynasty. Love does not seize power but surrenders it, and in that surrender is transfigured into something that outlives both battle and crown. Shepherd’s wool and wild honey, cedarwood and olive leaf, sun-warmed leather, plumes of frankincense rising from a quiet altar, and a thread of red pomegranate seed crushed between steady hands.

Welcome my sweet daughter, my favorite, the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Maatkare, Hatshepsut. Thou art the Pharaoh, taking possession of the Two Lands. Maatkare, the Good Goddess, Divine Daughter of Amun, sixth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, androgynous queen regnant who wore the uraeus-crowned Khat, traditional false beard, and the shendyt and bore the double crown as Mother and Father of Egypt. She sent five ships to the Land of Punt and brought back thirty-one living myrrh trees, their roots balled in soil, to be planted at the terraced temple of Deir el-Bahari, the Djeser-Djeseru. Her scent is imperial and vibrant, seizing back her power from those who would erase her: myrrh trees crossing the Red Sea in the hold of a ship, the dark smoke of kyphi drifting through limestone colonnades, ground frankincense and kohl, warm sand and blue lotus incense, cedarwood from Byblos, the dry resinous breath of obelisk granite in the sun, and a base of black amber and sacred anointing oil.

This smells like a milk chocolate cocoa. It's not as strong as any of my other lotions -- sometimes I can smell the base of the lotion more when applying it and it takes a bit for the milk chocolate scent to waft up at me. But there's no funky dairy froth, which was why I opted for a sample pot, and it pairs well with my chocolate scents (and I don't have any other lotion that does!), so I'll probably end up with a bottle before it goes away, since I've already used up most of my sample pot in the two days I was applying it to my hands last week.

Strawberry Moon: Kyphi and Sweet Cream
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This is mostly about the sweet cream on me, which smells good in the throw, but a little too buttery up close after it has been on the skin for a few hours. I get a hint of the kyphi's incense in the background, but it's not a main player on my skin. Layered with its moon, it gave the emphasis in Strawberry Moon 2026 a boost before it doused it in buttery cream. This wasn't a win for me, but it was fun to try it. -
