Summer in a bottle indeed!
I get a nice realistic strawberry with some green coming from the grass and floral (dandelion for sure, maybe a little of the other two as well) + some nice vanilla> I find it dries down to be mostly vanilla (I'm taking way dry down, where it almost disappears)
I don't get any sage
wonderful stuff!
-
I find the rather refreshing, which was unexpected. I get mint, I swear I do!
The floral goes a wee bit soapy on me, otherwise this would totally go in my "to buy pile".
Minty, sweet florals
-
I get: Dirt, Rum, Woods (Cedar or something similar) and smoke (vetiver I think)
This will be lovely to wear in the fall, especially around Halloween!

Yeah, smells like an imp box. Slightly unfortunately (but expectantly) it doesn't smell just "my" imp box, it contains all the smells including some I'm not a fan of.
It's starts rather sharp and high pitched on me, and this is the phase I like the least. The more it dries down, the more I like it
I like it enough to keep my bottle, especially with that artwork and back story, but I had pipe dreams that it would smell more like my imp box

I actually kinda love this
When I fist put it on I get a boatload of raspberry with some patchouli and red musk
The red musk burns off pretty quickly, or maybe blends so well with the raspberry that I can't pick it out anymore
The raspberry is sweet and tart, "pulp" is a good description of it and it does remind me a little of Jolly Ranchers candy
It stays raspberry dominant the whole time with patchouli as a support, like others I do find the the orange blossom starts to show up in the dry down
This is also supper strong on me, I put the littlest bit on and it over powered everything else I was testing, it projects well
It smells fun, like an expensive kids perfume (boyfriends words) and I feel like I will reach for it often this summer
-
When I first put this on it's mostly peony and herbs, the tea starts to come out in the dry down and I love it
I mostly recognize some black & green tea
-
I'm thinking I need to let this one age a little as it's still only a couple days old...and I'm getting something rather different from others who have tried it
When I first put it on I get soil, not dirt, but soil. It smells like I just walked into a garden centre or nursery and it's a pleasant smell if a little confusing...I'm guessing: soil = fresh leather + my skin chemistry
Eventually the soil turns a little cherry and leather, then not long after that the Snake Oil starts to come out and then it's marvellous!
On drydown I get what most everyone else gets, amazing Snake Oil and leather! It's just that opening that's super weird on me
-
When I first got this one, I liked it enough to keep it but I wasn't super impressed
I should have remembered that this was a Snake Oil blend, because now I've had it for a month or so and I love it!
It's kinda like you get two fragrances in one with this blend. When I first put it on I get all berry and it smells like a nice body spray but as it dries down I get more and more Snake Oil, Smoked Vanilla and Amber and it's sooooo nice!
Might be my favourite Snake oil blend
-
I only get the caramel in the first 2 or so minutes after application, which is perfectly fine by me as that was the one note I wasn't looking forward to
I find this to be a vary wearable Tubarose
I've got the tuberose and then the peach right behind it. The peach stops the floral from being too heady and the Tuberose stops the fruit from being foody
I do get a little bit of Orange blossom for support, but I don't notice any lemon
-
A honey I can wear?! woohoo!
Milk and Honey to start, then dries down to become a little bit powdery. Actually rather pretty, a nice sweet creamy powder
-
this one is pretty!
It's reminding me of Iulia from Carnival without the mint
It's floral dominant but I get the sweet and slightly tartness from the strawberries + something lending a creaminess...not sure maybe the vanilla
I could see this as an everyday perfume for spring and summer
-
I usually find patchouli dominant scents to be calming or earthy...this has to be one of the first times I found it to be sexy, quietly sexy
I can't seem to pull the individual notes apart, they blend together on me
It wears close to the skin but the throw suits the scent...if that makes any sense!
I become more fond of this one each time I wear it

Pediophobia
in Yules
Ohhh this one is so cool
When I first put it on I get a really nice luxury baby powder (and I normally HATE baby powder)
That fades rather fast (15 min or less) and then it starts to smell like the lotion & body wash the brand Principessa beauty used to make (that I can't find anymore) and I LOVED the smell of it. Sorry, that's not too helpful unless you've used the brand but I can't think of any other way to describe this phase
Lastly the Vanilla becomes a lot more dominant and it's similar to the vanilla dry down that I get from Stekk (not exact, just reminiscent of)
really like this one and super glad I got the full bottle
-
Hmm on me this smells like Love's Philosophy with Jasmine instead of Saffron
And just like the saffron in LP the jasmine in this blend starts off it's strongest and then melds more with the vanilla and becomes softer
I get barely any star anise
lovely and I imagine it'll age wonderfully
edit: It's actually the vanilla cream from "Volcano in Springtime" that I'm getting...nothing else is similar though, so not a dupe
-
I love love love this one
It smells earthy, but not in a "dirt" way.
I for sure get a wonderful patchouli, maybe some neroli, champa and rosewood.
I find it beautiful and calming
I will be getting a full bottle of this
-
The mixture of Cherry and Anise comes across almost like a minty cinnamon (really loose comparison)
Then add the red musk and it's almost like a cherry cola on me
The anise become more prominent in the dry down, but doesn't take over which is nice
I love frimps because it gets me to try fragrances I never otherwise would have and I really like this one!
-
On me this smells like fresh cut flowers siting in water in a vase
I get primarily florals, then greenness and lastly some water/aquatic
Does morph much from application to dry down
-
Fancy artisanal marshmallow, it's foody but there's something else in there that stops it from being only food (the "wooly" part maybe?)
I really love this one
-
I'm of the mind that this is Dorian's older brother
It's a little more dry and a little less sweet (but still fairly sweet)
I like it a little better than Dorian
The lilac almost comes across like a nice lavender for some reason and that's what I thought it actually was (lavender not lilac) until I went a looked at the notes again
I don't notice the oud or white musk
-
I figured this one would be too food for me but I still wanted to know it as it's so popular
It opens on me as a salted caramel, which was unexpected
it isn't until it dries down that I start to get more of a coffee smell, then it goes sweet irsh coffee
I didn't notice any dusty tomes or oakwood halls unfortunately as that would have been awesome, it was pretty much a Irish Coffee single note on me all day

Tombeur
in Vampires Don't Sleep Alone

I'm really liking this one!
I was avoiding writing a review because, to me, it's in the same family as Samhain and no one else seems to think that and I can't find what in the notes would make me think that.
I find Witch Dance to be a more feminine Samhain and Tombeur to be a more masculine version, which is probably thanks to the vetiver and maybe lavender
The snake oil in this is great, just enough to get noticed but doesn't commandeer the scent
I find it to be a super sexy scent
