RedPersimmon

Cloved oranges and incense.

So good! Dry cocoa powder wet, then lovely vanilla, sandalwood and myrrh drydown with a bit of cocoa powder rounding it out.

Halloween trick-or-treating apples/cinnamon apple potpourri.

Cola-vetiver with smoky cedar. Kind of like Server Gremlins. Drydown smells like Black pepper and vanilla. Black amber, is that you?

Dorian + Vanilla + Purple marshmallows.

Slightly burnt toast and musk with just a touch of bitter and sweet woody vetiver. This is one of my favorites.

Strong herbal Johnson's baby oil.

Starts off as pumpkin spices + cookie dough. I get very very very spicy Snake Oil on the drydown.

I sprayed this once on my skin. The pumpkin came out first, then later on it became marshmallow with a bit of chocolate. The scent was light but really yummy when I sniffed my arm. It hit all the right notes for this foodie-lover. I wonder if I shook the bottle before I sprayed, would I get more of the chocolate? Anyhow, I'm thinking about getting this once my wallet recovers from all the Halloween releases.

My bar didn't smell like anything, either. It was very thick and created a lot of lather, though. Compared to the French soap that I used before this, this one is creamier and I feel like it's more hydrating. Good quality, but it just... didn't really have a scent. I've also only used it once. I'll update this post after I wash with it several more times. ETA: Very moisturizing but still not very smelly.

Wet: Juicy, tart pomegranate backed by Dorian's lavender. Dry: Musky lavender comes forward, pomegranate calms down a bit. Massive throw. Drydown: Still-juicy pomegranate becomes slightly more floral. Dorian breaks through. Fruity, tart pomegranate and lavender-vanilla. I declare this the winner of Weenies '18! **ETA: Tested this again two weeks later and the pomegranate has softened quite a bit. Cotton candy-lollipop Dorian at first, which dries down to soft, musky lollipop Dorian.

Twelve petals in the heart chakra, twelve cranial nerves in the human body. Twelve lunar months, twelve lunations in a solar year, twelve signs of the Zodiac, twelve Earthly Branches. Twelve Tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles, Jacob and Ishmael each had twelve sons. Twelve days of Christmas, the sacred time between Christmas and Epiphany. Odin had twelve sons. There are twelve jurors in Athenas celestial court. The stars in her crown are hexagrams, proclaiming her dominion over the material world. A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head: red musk and tolu, centifolia rose and black tobacco, French lavender and star anise, Roman chamomile and leather. In the bottle, it's all centifolia rose and chamomile. On skin, I get soft tobacco, star anise, centifolia rose (not too strong for all you rose-haters), a worn-in leather couch, and a pinch of something that smells like juniper. This is not a perfume that you wear to make you feel pretty. This is a mystical blend--an anointing oil that you wear with intention. I get average throw and average longevity with The Starry Crown.

Light white flowers. Low throw and gone within an hour. You could say that it "ghosted" on me.

2018 release. Wet: frankincense, rose, then sourish spices. Drydown: myrrh, light honey, saffron emerge. Milky chai with rose water. Like Alice + Deux from the 2018 Lupers. Kind of like a... rose doughnut with sour spices in the background. I like roses and I like Alice, but Eve is not for me.

2018 version. Wet: Fruity floral vanilla. Hint of plastic Dry: No more plastic. The almond is too well blended to bother me. Mandarin-tuberose dominates. Drydown: Like Flowerbomb. Fruity-floral vanilla musk. Yum! This one and Streets of Detroit are my favorite of the OLLAs.

2018 version. Reminds me of the Blue Nile perfume oil that I used to buy at the goth shop back in the day. Rich, tropical gardenias, dark musk, and medicinal myrrh. This is what I would think the color indigo smells like.

Luminescent, glowing, and otherworldly: green mandarin, neroli, honeydew, white amber, guava, freesia, white and green musks hovering over desert scrub, smashed wood, and the dry, biting scent of night air over the Groom Lake salt flats. Green and fresh and lightly floral. I'm getting sweet freesia with white and green musks.

Just as dementia_divine noted, this is mostly sweet tobacco and black musk with just a hint of minty citrus on top. It's deep and bottom-heavy but softly sweet/bitter/earthy. It's in the same family as Auriga from the 2017 Yules. I think this would be best in cold weather. Edited to Add: This lasts very long on me. Eight hours later, I get whiffs of musky tobacco and wonder where it's coming from.

Like a lilac Dorian with the same grape-y oudh that was in Cassiopeia.

I'm in luuuuuurrrrrrvvvvvv! I didn't know that I was a red musk ho until I got some Mme. Moriarty on me. Wet, it's dark and musky and patchouli-ed out. As it dries, the tart red fruits and vanilla show up. It's very sexy. The vanilla rounds everything out and the combined effect is surprisingly incense-like. I have tons of new bottles and imps, yet I keep being drawn to Mme. Moriarty and for every occasion, she always feels right.

2018 release. This is heavy on the dragon's blood resin to me. So much so, that I deathmatched it with Dragon's Blood on my other hand and it's not as bright as DB and it's spicier. As others have suggested, I can see red musk being in this. It smells very much like a fruity jasmine. I really like this and I'm going to graduate to a full bottle.

Musky spicy floral.

Cedar and cedar and cedar and then baby wipes.

Wet: Slightly fruity, minty, green leafy veggies, specifically strawberry and spearmint and cucumber. Mostly spearmint, though, with aquatic edges. Dry: The green gets spicy, like when you pull out a handful of lawn grass and tear it in two. Dry-down: No change. It's a cross between Tennis Match and View of Cascading Cherry Blossoms. Fresh, green, aquatic.

I got an empty with a few drops in it with my latest order of decants, so I thought that I would try to guess what's in this before I looked at the notes. My guess: (wet) sugared orange and spicy peach blossom and (dry) green tea and sandalwood/frankincense. So I guess the red currant comes out first when wet, then the clean myrrh phase lasts for two hours, and then that blends with amber cream for the next few hours. I get very little vetiver. It's soft, sexy and milky and creamy throughout. It reminds me very much of Narr. I guess it's the combination of milk/cream with the subdued fruit.
