Ruined Roses is how I discovered I like oakmoss. It's lovely. Beauty, The Aggrieved has Bulgarian oakmoss and it works really well with the tobacco note.
-
On me, this is Snake Oil with extra powder and an acrid note. I suspect the teakwood. I gave the decant to my ex and he texted me "*This is just an imp of Black Silk that someone spilled Ovaltine on.*" (Black Silk is his HG so...I guess that's positive .)
-
Snake Oil with acai berry, amber, cardamom, white sandalwood, neroli, and smoked vanilla. The açai berry is dark, deep, and bittersweet. It's the strongest note. Neroli is a lovely floral touch on a background of Snake Oil and smoked vanilla. Snake Oil never smelled snakey to me, but this manages to be both gorgeous and reptilian.

On me this is a dark, smoky, slightly floral strawberry. Note though that I amp vetiver and most berry notes. This is a gorgeous rainy day scent.

Clean, floral, and herbal. The lily and muguet smell almost like lilacs. I really love this and am so glad I took a chance on a bottle. This will be lovely with Winter Stars.

I get a good balance of rich clean honey, patchouli, and oudh. The oudh makes this feel like a wintertime IBT to me.

This starts out with strong mint that fades almost instantly. It's a sugary slightly minty vanilla musk. I adore it.

I just got my bottle of Lick It with Consent and it reminded me of this thread. It's simple and much, much prettier than I expected.

The Cat is dark musk, honey, cedar, and benzoin. Goblin has already been mentioned. This World, Where Death Reigns is black roses and myrrh (LE). Lights of Men's Lives lists the wax and smoke of candles...lol...more helpfully, it definitely has the beeswax note, amber, and probably some vanilla. Rogue is black leather, hemp, and rosin. Neutral lists "flawless skin musk." Hunger has black narcissus, orange blossom, and vanilla. Kabuki has cherry, red musk, and star anise. (At this point I'm just going down the GC descriptions on the Lab's site)

Contrary to other reviews, I find this much stronger than most hair glosses - my bottle is as strong as Snake Oil HG and its throw is just as impressive. I shall use it sparingly. This scent knocked me over - not just with its strength and beauty, but its *reality.* I knew it smelled like a rose, thorns and dew and all, and I thought I understood that, but I really didn't get it until I smelled it. In addition to all the rose scents, I think this would go well with resin scents and possibly even berry scents.

The Phoenix, Having Burst Her Shell has really pretty orange in it. At the moment orange and tangerine are the strongest notes on me, though I do tend to amp fruits.

Goblin has a reputation of being a bit rough, but when I found out I don't dislike patchouli I got an imp from the Lab with the intention of aging it. That was two weeks ago. My imp is half gone. I'm gonna need lots. I can tell I will like it better aged, but even after two weeks the patchouli has smoothed out a lot. It's also starting to last longer - it was disappearing after about an hour and leaving me with only coconut and benzoin. Now I get lovely smoky patchouli for hours. It's a smooth, sweet,velvety smell that two different people have insisted to me must be amber. Far from being too much patchouli, I want more of it. It's my new favorite cuddly scent.

Thanks! I will go look. -
Blacker than the Raven Wings of Midnight. The patchouli is so, so different than any other I've smelled - even my supersensitive, patchouli-despising friend thinks it smells amazing. It's LE, but currently available.
