Dried fruits, sweet cakes, and gingerbread nuts. So this is who is nibbling hg, with a little less tooth rotting sweetness, replaced by an air of opulence that I cannot place. What is that unlisted note? I dont want to call it perfumey per se...perhaps its a bit of sweet pea? Fits the artistic impression of the name perfectly! But a gilded coach in Candy land!

I think this one is beautiful. Warm, cozy musk with sweetened leather. One of only five scents out of allll the recants I bought, that I'll be springing for full bottles of ( edible g-string, snake skin, snake kiss, smut)

In Irish folklore the Dana OShee are a fae, elven people that live in a realm of beauty, their nobility akin to our that own Age of Chivalry, eternally beautiful and eternally young. They surround themselves with the pleasures of the Arts, they live for the hunt, and to this day can be seen riding in procession through the Irish countryside at twilight, led by their King and Queen. However, the Dana OShee are not benevolent creatures, despite what their unearthly beauty may imply. They are vengeful and treacherous and possess a streak of mischievous malice, and many have whispered that their true home lies deep in the shadowed groves of the Realm of the Dead. Hearing even a single chord of their otherworldly music leaves one stunned and lost to the mortal realms for ever, finding themselves prey to the Dana OShees hunt or enslaved in their Court as servants or playthings. Offerings of milk, honey and sweet grains were made to placate these creatures, and it is that the basis of the scent created in their name. JUST like the perfume. I often times find the hair gloss versions to be quite different (and usually I like them better!) Not with this one, its pure Dana o'shee in hair gloss form. I love it, perfect unoffending year round scent.

If you're like me, and honey is awful on you, this is the version of "honey" for you! What I'm assuming is the honeycomb note is beautiful, buttery, non funky honey that has an almost floral quality to it, not sure how else to describe it. I really like this. Same kind of feel as snow white, zorya p and Dana oshee (not similar to any of those, just the same kind of "feeling" even though that makes no sense at all). This IS fresh out the mailbox, and a few more tests are required, but I think it'll end up being backup worthy.

This is an unexpected favorite. I was curious enough to try it, and mannn am I glad I did. Above is correct in the description of a gingerbread incense! But not a terribly heavy one. Buying two backups!

Very pretty, rose and I don't normally get along, but apparently tea rose and I do. It ever so slightly reminds me of baby doll faces, but in a good way. Definitely has a nostalgic, "kind" feel to it if that makes sense at all ha. Evokes a scent memory for me that I cannot place, but makes me feel calm and happy.

Zipline leather note, but with warm nuts and bonfire instead of cinnamon buns. I really like this one.

Lovely. No fruits to my nose. Its all musk, patchouli and a touch of cinnamon (even though its not listed). The perfume, for me, didn't have any of the fruit notes until it aged, I wonder if the same will hold true for the hair gloss? Seems to actually fade to a very low throw rather quickly, which I know contradicts the other reviews. I'm actually happy it mellows, or it could be overwhelming. This is going right in to the hair gloss "regular rotation" of antique lace, smut, and moon reflected.

This one is a HARD pass for me, but sooo many others have said such great things. Maybe my nose is broken because I get harsh spray cleaner. This is why I always do my initial testing pre-shower...

Starts out VERY dead leaves, but once sprayed in hair and dry, marshmallowy goodness with the dead leaves softening and hanging more in the background. I love it and ordered a full size, hubby doesn't feel the same.

I luckily don't get the wine note, as that tends to be vinegary to my nose. It is most definitely "red". I smell the currants and I do smell "incense", but in the most basic of descriptions. Like, what burning cheap incense in your house smells like. Personally, I love it.

Ive had this bottle for about 6 months now. When I first received it, I remember APPRECIATING it, but not liking it much at all. But I didn't wanna sell/swap it because it appears to be a bpal staple. Fast forward to now. WOW. I understand what aging means. This is such a beautiful, sultry scent. Musky and very subtley fruity. The harshness has died off and the fruits seem more prominent, but it is nothing like what my mind considers "fruity" if that makes sense at all? All I know is, this will be getting a lot of wear out of me now, and im so glad I held on to it.

Am i the only one who gets a similarity to streets of Detroit? to me, its a sweeter, red musky version of streets of Detroit. Maybe its just the myrrh? I thought I hated myrrh, but might not really KNOW the smell like I thought I did hmm. Full bottle in the very near future.

This is one of those blends that makes me mad. Because I love it, but hubby hates it. Well poo on him, Im still getting a full size and he can deal with it. It is definitely very much LEATHER, but the strawberry-ish note tames it and makes it wearable for someone like me, who doesn't really like unisex/leather heavy blends. This a very unique scent to me, and I know the decant wont be enough!

just as described to my nose, with the apple note in the forefront when first applied. after a few minutes the apple subsides, which makes me kinda sad because I was enjoying it! I don't get the "candle" vibe others are talking about, and Im glad because I hate when perfumes/hg turn that way. The dry down is nice, not as foody as it was when wet. Overall, to me, its comforting and warm, pretty sure ill be picking up a full size!

Amazing. Bright, fresh orange. Like the smell left in a room after someone peels an orange, but grounded by the amber and tea so nicely that it doesn't become boring orange juice or from being to tart. I didn't expect to like this one so much honestly. Yet another to add to the list of must find a full size. That list is wayyy too long right now.
