On me this is a gorgeous cloud of vanilla and ambergris streaked with bright citrus. I get hints of the basil and juniper adding some herbal notes but they are indistinct, blurred by the fougere and ambergris.
-
Lots of soft golden hay with crisp apple and sweet, soft cinnamon (to me it smells like Ceylon cinnamon not cassia). Warm, cozy, and homey. It's sort of toeing the line between atmospheric and foodie on me.

I thought the watermelon and sweet pea would make this scent too sweet and pink for my tastes but this has a more silvery-purple vibe. On me it is mostly lilac musk and sandalwood/the pale woods with just a bit of oakmoss and fruity sweetness from the watermelon and sweet pea. It's elegant and serene but the sweet pea and watermelon add just a hint of playfulness.

This smells like my memory of R'lyeh, though it has been sometime since I tested that. Deep, dark salty waters. Very salty, and has a dark coldness to it.
-
This scent is less sweet than I anticipated. Dry cedar, patchouli, and hazelnut with a halo of dry (in the not sweet sense) red musk. A spicy, rich and resinous scent.
-
I get mostly the poppy, sweet deep floral with a sort of spicy edge. I imagine the agave is adding to the sweetness, a sort of natural sweetness, adjacent to honey but more herbal.

Breezy sweet florals, soft incense, and a touch of coconut.

Deer Moon: Golden Tobacco and Beeswax
roseus replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Thought this was going to be love at first sniff, but in the imp I get beeswax and something like furniture polish. On my skin it's more like leather, but the kind that goes very chemically and gives me a headache. I can smell a beautiful beeswax and tobacco combination underneath but this one is not meant to be alas! -
I'm getting the blond woods mentioned, but to me this is also very mossy. Mossy, salty, woody aquatic. Not what I was looking for in an aquatic HG unfortunately but not unpleasant!
-
Bright pithy citrus and sweet fruity red musk and wine. The musk goes very sweet on my skin and the citrus less bitter. Which unfortunately gives the effect of the fruit-scented erasers of my childhood.
-
Oh this is so beautiful. It's lush and green. Watery crisp cucumber, tomato leaf (to me it's more the leaf than the actual tomato), slightly bitter lettuce greens. It's smells like too-good-to-be-true abundance. I get just a bit of warm soil and patchouli underneath the greenness.
-
A beautiful smoky, rosy scent.The leather is soft on me and melds really well with the patchouli. It is all really well-blended. All of those base notes are making a complex but somehow singular note. The beeswax adds a glowing warmth. Rosy is the best way to describe this, the rose is present but it's not big and fresh and super floral. It's more like dried rose, soft and muted.
-
This one made me nervous in the imp. It's rich, almost heady dates and brown sugar. Sweet and toothsome. It smells delicious but date notes can go almost high pitched on me. It doesn't here, just rich chewy sweetness. However the almond sneaks up and does it's weird cherry syrup thing on me.

Deer Moon: Summer Fig and Wildflower Honey Hair Gloss
roseus replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Hair
This is a stunner! The fig is warm and earthy, and the honey has a light breezy quality to it and has a real indistinct floral quality about it. Fruity, floral, and just really pretty. A carefree summer scent. -
Brighter and fresher than I anticipated, I do believe I detect grapefruit as well. It gives the impression of bright blue pools rather than deep murky waters. On my skin it gets a touch salty. There's a sort of mossy, clean vegetal thing happening as it dries down as well. Very pretty, it makes me think of be sun sparkling on water.
