This is just something i can only pin down as 'pleasantly sweet' and a soft tobacco note in the background. Doesn't change on application. Nice, but not for me.

was a little scared trying this out, in the bottle this is a sweetish but sharp, green scent that's almost giving me a pang of headache every time i sniff it. On my skin this morphs into a lovely frothy vanilla indeed. Airy, with swirls of amber and frankincense. Quite lovely! Once again cursed with this also dissapearing on my skin.

I'm confused as this almost completely dissapears on me. In the bottle strong amber and balsam notes, on my skin just a little bit of tonka.

A damp harvest marketplace of mostly fruits (apple-heavy)! Honestly pretty similar to my 2013 bottle of samhain, but that one is 'nighttime', this one is in the autumn sunlight. Alas, no throw.

Delicious, red punchy pudding in the bottle, but getting the exact same results as Follis above me when it touches my skin. Goes plastic, medicinal, vaguely cognac-y with a nice, but barely-there fig. Aw.

Thick realistic chocolate and a touch of leather in the bottle, goes chocolate and wax on my skin. Not my favourite combo, but the chocolate note is once again wonderful!

Reminds me a lot of The waltz from the Crimson peak collection, but a slightly more purply and colder one. Light and flowy. Heavy on the bourbon and opium for me. I don't think there's much of the berries, vanilla or plum on my skin though - hoping these will show themselves later on, bc this is good and very close to being GREAT.

I'm sorry? But how in the f*ck do they make such an evocative scent, that almost makes me sad? Wistful indeed, a bittersweet mirror of worlds. Very interesting deep scent. The cacao and the white/colder scents somehow work well together (there is definately something ghostly in here), and the rose and patchouli scooch over to the backseat in this one on my skin. Not an everyday scent, but beautiful. Just beautiful.

I think this needs more time to age for me, but it's lovely. I get some jasmine (and also agree with the honeysuckle comparison), RED musk and salty seas. My skin amps whatever the salt is a lil bit, but I do believe this needs some time in a dark corner for me to try it out again, later. I WANT to love this, and I like it a LOT, but it's not quite there yet. It's similar to Mme moriarty to me, the new one, but watery-er. Maybe it's just my skin? Eh. Sticking it out, it's got so much potential.

2022 version - Have gotten compliments on this already. It's absolutely delicious and exactly what it says on the tin, both in the bottle and on my skin. Hoping it will age to be stronger, but I am biased to strong(er/bigger throw-) scents anyway. Amazing. Yesyesyesyes

The sister of WILF. That's exactly what it is for me. Maybe a little less "heavy" (or cloying?) then WILF can be, but pretty much a slightly different-kind-of-sweet-but-pretty-much-wilf for me both in the bottle and on the skin. Beautiful!! 🥰

Honestly, i've had this with all the lupers I've gotten this year- Exactly what I imagined, and pretty much exactly the notes in the description. Scrumptious red juicy apples, deep purply incense and florals. Not a huge throw but hoping this will age well. Hmmm..

Rrrrrrr. Smutty and delicious. I want to eat my arm when this is on me and boy do I slather it. It reminds me a bit of the old Mme Moriarty, but slightly deeper, boozier/more edible and sexier. Can't wait for this to age more. 🤤

Just a really good sexy spicy, incensy red musk. It's odd, because I remember an old imp I once (like 6-7yrs ago at this point) had was SO STRONG my whole workplace started smelling like it. My coworkers at the time didn't love it (I did) but the more recent bottle I have is not as strong by any means. Still, it's very good (iconic) and I hope it ages to what the other one was. 😍

The perfect pumpkin heavy-halloween scent I was hoping to find from BPAL? 'Til the day I've found something better, yes - this is it. Sweet pumpkin waffles 'n hay, chaotically halloweeny-orange. Hmmm.

ABSOLUTELY something I HAVE to be in the mood for, it can make me feel sick if I wear this on the wrong day, but man, this can be so sexy! Somebody really sweetly gifted this to me, and I, before that, hadn't looked at this before and it's a nice surprise. Have only just looked at the notes now, after having owned this for over a year, but they make sense. I think the tobacco and leather can be a little too much sometimes, but otherwise this is a very well blended sweet mix of sexy that'll keep ya busy sniffing your arm.

Strong and dark in the bottle. Almost too daunting (reminds me a lil of vetiver) to put on, but morphs on the skin a bit to mostly reveal gravedirt, some dead leaves (but not overpoweringly so), and I am pretty much getting a nice mix of the rest of the notes of ivy, maple, fig and cypress, that somehow blend to a sweet pulp. I like it but I unfortunately think it's giving me a headache even though it's not that strong. I'm just a weak baby though, don't let it scare you off, pun intended.

Interesting! Beautiful in the bottle, and exactly what it says on the tin (and on the skin) - and goes into milky rose tea-territory later.

Surprisingly more delightful then what I was expecting from a 'goblin market'. I mostly get spices, vague fruit and.. honey? There's something aquatic far in the background, but unfortunately my skin pretty much ate this.

Sexy gingerbread. 'Do you know the muffin man'? Sure do now, ya snack. 😎👀

Your-skin-but-better for me. Getting a bit of rose (thank GOD my skin tends to amp that), honey and pear mostly. Slightly commercial, but deep/interesting enough to be sniffing my arm a good amount of times. Very beautiful indeed.

Fun!! So fun. Though it's barely detectable in the bottle. For a second was genuinely considering before I checked the note that the 'hoax'-part was kind of a metaphor here, and that we're supposed to sniff, and smell something- sniff again, and it's gone! Was it really there all along? I'll go grab my tin-foil hat and T-shirt that simply states 'I'm THE dumbass' now, but it's genuinely barely there for me. 'dusty soap' is kind of it in the bottle. On my skin this morphs to the dusty vanilla with something I can only describe as 'silvery' (guessing it's the orris) grounding that a bit. Still barely there though. A shame, cause this is really nice.

Sweet, juicy. Hadn't read the notes beforehand and the peach is making a lot of sense now. That's what my skin really does with it, it's got some depth but my skin doesn't amp anything, and I'm mostly left with peach. Lovely scent though.

I feel like i'm not all there for saying this, but this weirdly reminds me of Funnel of love, but a very soft, more sweet version of this. (VERY soft, considering my Funnel of love is so strong I need to turn my head away before I sniff when I open my bottle). But for some reason I'm getting something leathery, and something slightly green. Not sure what note's doing that for me here. Definately orange too. On my skin it goes even softer, I can barely smell it. It's very pleasant though, orangy sweets and then those notes that I just mentioned. Too bad my skin just makes this ...dissapear.

GASP this. Is. BEAUTIFUL. I was afraid the coconut was not gonna work for me, as I'm generally just not a fan of that, but this is indeed a very sexy, sexy pirate scent. I think this works that way for both sexes, though yes somewhat masculine. Juicy, sweet, fresh, slightly spicy, and a strong "woody" base. This is a repeat arm sniffer (even though the throw is good enough that I smell it throughout the day). If I can manage to get a second bottle in the future I will.
