    The Initiation

    Oooooh. I think I actually said “ooh” out loud when I first applied this. It’s smooth, sweet, beautiful. The notes all blend together so well. I don't have any words to describe or define this scent because my brain has been totally discombobulated by how gorgeous it is. Would love to know if there are any dupes or similar scents in the general catalog.

    Yuletide Bacchanal

    This is boozy sugar and currants in the decant. It doesn’t change much from wet to dry: a fruity, sweet musk, very Bath & Body Works. I’m getting a bit of wine, but no spice.

    Voodoo

    On first sniff, Voodoo is a very strong perfumey patchouli. Wet on skin, it develops some nice resinous and spicy notes. I agree with the other reviews that said it smells like a bonfire. A few hours later, though, the clove is undetectable unless your nose is touching your wrist, and it turns into an overly powdery and sweet incense scent. Too hippy-bookstore for me.

    Spiced Pumpkin Cider

    Spiced Pumpkin Cider smells like pumpkin and honey in the decant. Apple cider emerges as soon as it hits the skin and continues to dominate after it dries. Yep, it’s a delicious apple cider with some indistinct soft sweetness around the edges. This reminds me so much of an old favorite of mine, Fearful Pleasure from a Halloween many years past. Beautiful.

    Troll

    This was a really strange one on me! It was a single note pine when wet, then as it dried it turned into a sweet berry musk. There aren’t any berries listed in the notes so I have no idea where that came from! It doesn’t smell dark or bitter at all. I think my skin has a tendency to amp sweet notes.

    In Silvery Accents, Whispering Low

    This is almost pure cinnamon in the wet stage. There’s a tiny bit of cardamom that gets stronger as it dries. The spice notes move into the background after a while, and it settles into a vanilla-and-bitter-wood scent. This is like a crossover between the gourmand and wood genres without leaning too strongly either way. It would be a good one to try if you’re a big fan of one but not the other and are looking for something a bit outside your comfort zone!

    Who’s Afraid

    Who’s Afraid is all coconut when wet, like toasted dry coconut flakes. As it dries it goes through a bitter stage which I guess is the snow note? And after that it settles down into a delicious, light and nutty chocolate. I love it!

    Kentucky Bourbon Fruitcake

    On me, this is a light, warm honey scent with a bit of spice. I’m not getting any fruit or alcohol from this, but I really like it anyway.

    Australian Copperhead (2016)

    Wet, it's Snake Oil mixed with a sweet floral. No acai here, which is too bad because I love acai! Surprisingly, the amber didn't amp and drown out everything else like it usually does on my skin. After drying, this is pure Snake Oil on me. The oil is a light orange compared to the thick brown of regular Snake Oil, but on my skin they smell the same.

    Old Demons of the First Class

    Starts off dry and spicy, eventually settles to a perfumey smoky spice. I wonder if anyone else knows what I mean when I say a scent is "perfumey"? lol! It's that hazy, vague quality. On me, Old Demons is not awful, not great, just meh.

    Morocco

    This scent is very well blended, such that it's hard to tell exactly what I'm smelling. No one note sticks out above the rest. Overall it smells warm, dry, sweet and a little spicy. Exactly what I imagine Morocco smells like. Nice, I really like it.

    Alice

    In the imp and wet on skin, cool florals with a hint of spice. Surprisingly strong throw. Dry, the rose dominates, which sadly happens very often with my skin chemistry. It's just too floral for me.

    The Great London Spaghetti Hunt

    In the bottle, this smells heavenly. Incredibly realistic coffee and tiramisu. As soon as it hits the skin it gets warm and spicy. Bitter coffee comes through in the the drydown, plus a strong floral, and it stays that way from then on. I mainly get cold, bitter florals. A few hours later, a slightly creamy vanilla-like note comes out to play. The tiramisu is back! For a little while. Then the whole scent turns into plastic before fading away. This scent is like a rollercoaster. It's three completely different perfumes in one! I love the foodie wet stage, but bitter florals and plastic aren't for me. It stays very close to the skin and doesn't last very long.

    Slippery Poppy Tincture

    In the imp, sweet florals. Wet on skin, florals with fruity candy. The candy-like quality fades as it dries. Another reviewer described this as "polleny", and I agree. It's soft! I'm not usually a floral fan but I like this blend. Surprise frimps are great for trying scents you wouldn't normally be interested in!

    Volcano in Springtime

    Starts out quite promisingly with creamy vanilla and light sandalwood, but after it dries it's all powder on me. I think the lotus root is the culprit there.
