This is a stunner. Yes, a white flower, not at all indolic with a splash of creamy muskiness. I also am picking up something green, like a crushed stem. As a woman with a kazillion floral fragrances, I can say this is unique and one of those nose-to-wrist-go-away-let-me-smell-this-all-day perfumes.

Oh, when will I learn to wait for reviews! I thought this was a no-brainer, from the notes. Agree with those above that it is a beautiful scent. I need more Snake Oil and I am not sure aging will bring it out. Time will tell!

Valencia Orange is 10/10. If your like a strong, uplifting orange scent, this is for you! It lasts surprisingly long for a citrus scent. I agree there there is some of the blossom in this as well. I am going a little nuts, because I smelled this (note) somewhere before. Hmm. Is this the note from Portrait of a Young Woman with a Unicorn????

Deer Moon: Summer Fig and Wildflower Honey Hair Gloss
Minh Scent replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Hair
One of my favorite hair glosses from 2024. It creates a honey-sweet figgy cloud with nuances of light florals. Long lasting.- 3 replies

I love this perfume so much. It really does smell like the old time stockings we wore with garter belts!! (This was before panty hose, which were quite the revolution and no where as sexy!) Anyways this reminds me of the smell of my mother, a coffee drinker, putting on stockings. The skin musk combined with the silk note is so lovely. Low throw, about 2 hour wear.

It's pretty, like the oil and agree a shade more lavender. However, it is also very light.

Oh I am jealous that the poster above got so many hours from this! (But glad you did, Vaudenilla!?) I absolutely love Midnight Mass Perfume, so it was a no-brainer to snap this up. I was surprised at how light it is. It does smell like Midnight Mass, but very softly. I almost feel like tossing in my backup bottle of Midnight Mass!

Beaver Moon: Violet and Vanilla Chiffon
Minh Scent replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Oh, my! I agree with @VioletChaos that the vanilla in this perfume is reminiscent of Antique Lace. It is not a gourmand vanilla, but has a veil of sweetness to it. The violet is soft, and adds to overall beauty of the scent. This is a lovely perfume- close to skin, long lasting.- 13 replies

This is a heavy beeswax with just a tinge of pine. It is a rich , beautiful beeswax. Folks longing for pine may be disappointed. -

BPAL's pomegranate has never worked well for me- too sweet. I do enjoy it if there is enough musk over it, like in Madam Moriety, but it totally ruined a tobacco scent for me, as well as the chypre in the 2017 Weenies September Midnight. (Oh, goodness, I am holding a grudge!?) Reviews got me, though, and true to the accolades- this is a little stunner! Yes it is on the sweet side..but THAT ink vibe has just stolen my heart! There is also something powdery here and a few times I thought I almost got a sandalwood vibe. Whatever, I feel there is more going on here than just pomegranate and ink. Lowish throw, long lasting.

I barely get lavender on first application, but the plum and sugared opium tar are indeed beautiful. Sadly, it is very light on my skin and disappears quickly. It barely lasted an hour on my wrists and I have to put nose to skin to smell it. (I check another perfume to make sure it was not my nose with the problem.)

Yes, yes, I put this on and smiled big time because it is so...BPAL! I agree with the Banshee Beat/Revenant Rhythm vibes and the honey adds some extra sweetness to that perfect patch-vanilla combo. The amber reminds me of the one in The Sun's Treasure. Unfortunately I am not enjoying the longevity others are reporting, so I may need a rare backup bottle.

This is my second go with Snootier Bat. First try a few months ago, the black leather was too much for me. It is still a bit ACK on first application, but it now quickly morphs into amazing black musk and incense. It lasts forever and has a sweet edge to it. Gorgeous!
