Warm, snuggly vanilla amber. Just a teeny bit powdery, but not enough to scare my powder-hating self away. It's quite potent, too! In a word? Cozy. I absolutely adore this one.

I dont get any rose out of this, but that's fine, because it's a beautiful orange blossom/sandalwood. Its sweet, almost gourmand but not quite, and ever so slightly powdery. This one is also nice and strong!

Smells like a fancy room spray or detergent - would be very nice on linens!

In the imp: chocolate and peanut butter? Wet: peanuts - lots and lots of peanuts. Dry: it stays peanutty for quite a long time, then fades to a generic musky thing. What an odd experience, maybe it's just my chemistry?

Warm, smokey incense. Not at all lustful to me, but rather quite sleepy and soothing. It makes me feel all snuggled up and cozy.

One half of the Tarots binary expression of archetypical sovereignty, governing comfort and succor, the healing power of the natural world, the fecundity of the countryside, the stability of earth supported by the passionate tides of water, and all that gently nurtures humankind. This is the safety of home and kingdom alike, the promise of enough resources to sustain you and your community, the assurance the fruitfulness of the harvest, benevolent protection, and the wellbeing of generations to come. Amber oudh, mandarin rind, and Florentine bergamot. Warm flashes of citrus peeking through an ambery cloud. Warmth in a bottle.

Very cheerful! Dewy daffodils and wildflowers in a big bouquet - this is the scent of spring.

Very subtle, soft pomegranate surrounded by a cloud of oud and incense with the tiniest whisper of carnation. This is exactly how the Empress would smell - rich and womanly, but also comforting.

Smells brown without smelling dirty. Acorns, pine needles, moss and all good foresty things being crushed underfoot with a swirl of patchouli in the air. It smells like a forest in late summer.

Sweet hazy red roses - not quite candied but quite sweet. Musky and romantic - the name suits it.

This sounds like it would be a Shunga - oh well. Apricot and soothing, high-quality cedar. No pencil shavings, at least not for me. Cherry blossom adds a faint floral creaminess, but apricot and cedar are the stars here. Overall, its smooth and elegant, befitting the Empress.

This one is nice and potent! It's pretty much perfectly split between all its notes - the carnation, cardamom and honeyed milk are all distinct and noticeable, but they come together to create something gorgeous! It reminds me a little bit of Alice, but spiced as opposed to sweet.

A creamy, smooth, simple vanilla rose. One of the softer High Priestess scents I've tried.

I'm super confused by this scent. On my skin it smells like baby wipes! Maybe aging will help?

This smells round, white and cool - like the moon! No real edges to this blend, just nocturnal floral smoothness. I dont get any cardamom or clove, just night-blooming jasmine and moonflower.

Definately lots of pomegranate, but not a wet, juicy kind. It's more of a dry pom, with swirls of incense smoke. Very elegant.

On me, none of the notes really stand out. It all blended into a warm, cozy thing. No cinnamon, no honey, just a sweet warmth. This will be wonderful to wear in the later half of the year.

Blueberry and lightly spiced, fresh flowers. Fresh, clean and soft. I dont get any tangerine, but I'm not complaining.
