Bottle: effervescent orange Wet: no change Dry: orange spray Like a lemon slice in a ginger ale. I get no creamy pumpkin or spice. Just a bubbly drink with a chemical alcohol edge.

The Wild Men of Jezirat al Tennyn (2006)
everanything replied to Heretic's topic in Carnaval Diabolique
Ambergris and moss sounded appealing, and do give it a nice, earthy base. However, it seems like any 'red' scents, be it musk or amber, turn into a cologne scent to me. There's no vanilla sweetness or clove spice to this. Just that astringest, cologne scent. It's hard to pick out any other impression. -
One tiny drop, and I couldn't get it off of me fast enough. In the bottle, it reminded me of Smut; and I wanted that smarmy, swoonworthy musk. This had intense throw, and smelled bitter and a bit...rank, honestly. Red musk doesn't seem to work on me.
-
Light and lovely. The two leaf notes combine to something like peaseblossom or sweatpea, which is sweet and uplifting. The honey musk is deep without cloying, likely due to the vanilla keeping it balanced. Whatever fae spices might be, they seem to amp and throw beautifully, because with my hands near the keyboards, there's a high, warm note that keeps drifting about.

Add me to the Pink Moon camp. My bottle got used up long ago, and VPSC is a close comparison. Thankfully, I get no 'butter' or 'cream' notes, both of which turn stale/rancid/ick on me. Instead, the initial punch is that of pink fondant; it's a rather dry sweetness, but still fragrant. On my skin and dry, it's fresh, moist strawberry cake. I cannot compare it to Beaver Moon because that blend didn't like me; it's a bit of the cake feel from Eat Me, but more fake. It's hyper-sweet, and definitely has the synesthetic equivalent of pink. I am also wishing it had more staying power, but the hour or two I get from a quick swipe is still enjoyable.

I never smelled the perfume oil, but knew with the note descriptions that I had to have this. Sugared black roses? So strange, must try! Even smelling the capped bottle, it wafted just the itty bittiest hint of sweet, dried roses. It's almost like a rose sugar, the way that people can make candied violets and the like. The open bottle is a big pow of leather and musk, but it's a sinous, skin-close musk. I applied to wet, thick, curly, shoulder-length hair. 5 pumps was definitely overdoing it, since the scent lingered in my tiny bathroom for the rest of the night. I didn't know how much would come out! Today, each time I muss my hair or toss it, I get this light drift of musk/leather/sugared flowers, and the leather and musk are most prominent. This is unnnnfff in a bottle.

I did end up sticking this on the BF. Initially it was a fuzzy musk, which was nice, but just blew up into a super-heavy, dirty patchouli. He smelled liked a head shop, and not in a good way.
-
Imp: a rather dry sweetness, like powdered honey over powdered sugar. Wet: Lemon! It's not quite the lemon pledge that my skin does to a lot of things. Perhaps lemon icing? It is surpisingly citrus-y. Dry: Wax. A clean wax, almost like church candles. It's a bright paraffin smell, with no colour scent (yes really) or aroma added. It's nice in a way, but not what I wanted.
-
Bottle: spices, aquatics, clean asphalt. Wet: warm spices, the saffron and musk all the way. Dry: the ozone goes soapy on me at this state. It's not totally disagreeable, like a spiced soap, but it's not great. The rain note seems to get really cloying, as someone else stated. This has a lot of waft on me, and I wish it didn't, for once. I expected to both love and hate this, because red musk and saffron both work on my skin, but water/aquatic notes and ozone notes never do. I've got Infernal Lover for my red musk needs. I'm still waiting for an ozone to love me, but it may never be.
-
Bottle: wet, sticky, rich earth. There's a weird ooomph to this: it activates my synesthesia and reminds me, not unpleasantly, of falling face-first into a lawn, and having grit in my teeth after. The soil is so rich, it's almost taste-able. That may seem weird, but I really like it. Wet: Same. No green notes or clay whatsoever. Dry: it does tamper down a bit, staying really skin-close, but I don't have to huff to pick it up again. The soil is a bit more dry, and that grit note has softened, but it's still lovely. It's oddly comforting. I want to try this as a base for a lot of my Moons.
-
Cold bottle (being in CO, snowstorm, package was likely outside for a while): Intensely green. I'm not good with plant scents, but the BF declared "Aloe!" upon his first sniff. I must agree. Perhaps almost the sweet clear/milky fluid from plants, but fresh-snapped aloe comes closest. Waiting to skin test with room temp oil. Update: Tested from my decant circle imp, about a month after arrival. I am smelling through a stuffy nose, so this might require one more try. However, it was still quite green and aloe/sap like in the imp. Upon application, it went sharp green, and a bit cologne-esque. Masculine, as others have said. I'm not sure I've dabbled in most aquatics, but there is something I can't put a name to, and 'wet' seems the closest. It's interesting, but not what I was seeking. It does fade after an hour or so.

The Malignant Dreams of Cthulhu in Love
everanything replied to Ravenclaw79's topic in Retail Exclusive Oils
The aquatic and green notes seemed scary, but I had to try this...because Cthulhu. Decant: Chocolate with a dark base. Not dark chocolate, but something inky anchoring the chocolate from seeming overly sweet or dry. Wet: Chocolate with maybe a bit of salt, and the inky scent seems to deepen. Dry: It's got a kick of the salt now, like I rubbed my wrist onto the rim of a salt mill. No kelp, thankfully, most green smells do not agree with me. 10 mins: No more salt. This is a chocolate incense, wafting through a room. It's a bit inky and sticky, which might be the plants, but it's not plant-like. I have to douse this liberally and repeatedly. My skin eats up all the chocolate within an hour. That said, it's an enjoyable, simple scent on me. -
Bottle: Syrupy sweet, light coffee, maybe spices. This smells immensely sweet for the notes listed. I have to blame the hazelnut. Wet: Spiced coffee spilled over leather, the syrup note has faded but the spices saturate the leather. Dry: There's a bit of the syrup again, the coffee gets a little sweeter, like the hazelnut has punched back through. 20-30 mins: Cologne?! Oh no no no noooo. I think tobacco does this on me, sadly. 40 mins: Ah, there we go, it's settled back to a heavy leather with spices over a slightly sweetened dark coffee. Hour+: I cannot stop huffing my wrists. This is such a rich, complex leather, it's delectable. The best of scents create images for me, and this smells like a rich, hole-in-the-wall coffee shop cup of coffee spilled over a well-worn leather jacket. A tiny bit of the spices, sugar, and coffee have sunk into the threads, but the leather remains the dominant note. I'll be reaching for this a lot, as a thankful stand-in for my imp of De Sade. It's so close to a pure leather without becoming chemical or 'new'.

Honestly, it sounds really interesting, and certainly worth a try. Thanks!

So, I keep trying to find a scent that will remind me of Las Vegas. Note-wise, I imagine it to be scorched ozone over fresh water, with the heat of night time summer air and sweet desert blooms, covering a base of skin musk and booze. It's the torches blazing around many of the strip casinos, the fireworks displays and fire effects at shows, the fountain spray (minus any chlorine scent), and drunken people snogging near blooming cacti. Halloween Las Vegas isn't any of the right notes. I'm hoping to find some Phoenix in Summer, because it sounds right. Are there any possible GCs, including combinations, or other LEs that will get me this dreamy scent?
