2018 release: Got this from am decant circle, Ian smells sweet, woodsy boozy to me. Booze notes don't work most of the time, but this here works really well! A nice woody slightly sweet smell. Really nice! ❤️

2018 release: I got an imp of blood popsicle and am completely amazed. This smells completely like sweet red fruits for me. No dragons blood, which doesn't work most of the time. As it dries, musk comes through. Maybe red, don't know. Nothing salty, nothing metallic on me. I like it!

Got a bottle off the Etsy sale and was so excited since I already adore banana cream pie and key lime pie. I love nuts and was expecting a nutty pie scent. Instead I got a sharp cinnamon nutmeg scent on my skin. Don't like it at all. No sugar, no pie crust, just cinnamon and nutmeg.

Got this prototype with my last order. First I can mostly only detect neroli, which I'm no fan of. It transforms into a green blend. On the dry down there's earthy incense. Quite nice after the neroli fades.

I got an decant from Ajevie of this lovely hair gloss. What can I say - I love it! But i usually love cedar based scents! (I think I will be devastated when my decant gets empty.) This one is really strong in my hair, I smell it all around me! Cedar heaven!

With death cap I mainly smell cedar, which I love! Don't get coconut, but it has a slight creamy note to it. Guess that makes it a little softer and not overly heavy earthy.

Really interesting, normally I always hated rose scents. They were too clogging or artificial. Not the Queen's croquet ground. I like the soft Rose scent with the dominant green leaves scent. Perfect for me!

When Gently Gently, my first bath oil, arrived, I was quite on the fence about it. But now after half a year of aging (in Autumn), used in the tub on my warm skin, the snow note softly showed up. Really nice! It's even better now! ❤️ The scent is soft and so soothing!💖 Just love it! But I don't really use it in the water, but rather on my wet skin moisturizing it. This is a perfect scent combo of spicy clove and lovely Carnation. ♥️ Truly beautiful!

I love this scent! The oil absorbs perfectly on my oily skin. (Don't use lotions but love oils). It smells earthy powdery and I just love this as an all over perfume. ♥️

First I wasn't sure if I liked this one. It starts fruity and spicy on my shin and morphes quite a bit. It goes from spicy to kind of chilling (just like camphor and mint cool the skin). But as it dries it morphes again to an almost powdery lovely jasmin scent. Guess the vanilla grounds the blend here. I really like it and it reminds me of something from the past but I cannot put my finger on. But really nice on my skin!

I had to have this scent given my name, which is Latin for mandrake. Wet: this is a strong green astringent scent. There's a faint trace of basil, but not really strong. Dry: as it dries down it gets more woody. For someone who likes rooty, earth scents, this one is really nice! It kinda smells like a mandrake root. Herby, rooty. Wonderful!

This is my first Atmo and I am truly impressed! Very smoky slightly nutty and a little bit sweet. Since I love smoky scents, this is a winner. Smells just like being at an campfire. Beautiful!

2017 version In the bottle: this smells amazing! I love amber and tree scents. Wet on my skin: I hardly smell anything, there is a faint amber and tree/moss note. Dry: the scent dissapears extremely fast on my skin, which is sad. When I'm outside in the cold air, i cannot smell anything. Inside there is this faint smell. The faintness is at least still detectable after a couple of hours, but altogether this is a disappointment.

I expected this to be creamy and sweet. Unfortunately it is neither creamy nor sweet on me. It is quite sharp, boozy and floral. After application I can detect a faint strawberry note. But my skin amps the boozy grenadine note. Not even a sweet candy note is there, but I don't know what rock candy is or how this smells. I really wanted this to work, but it just doesn't smell good.

This scent is a disappointment for me. Normally I love ylang ylang but here I smell none. This smells like a public pool on my skin. You know with the chlorined pool water. So this smells not good.

I bought this scent second hand couple of month ago. I wasn't aware it is from 2010 and 8 years old. So this must be perfectly aged. I truly love this soft sweet strawberry scent! It is fruity and slightly sweet. Love it! (There is no peppery scent on my skin.)

On my skin it starts with intensive peonies. As it dries down the tea and a herbal scent come forth. But during the dry down a soapy citrus smell emerges. Stays on my skin a couple of hours, but just a faint floral scent. This is an interesting scent although I'm no fan of florals. But I like peonies.

Got this scent as frimp and I didn't read the fig being in there. My nose smelled it immediately. Wet I could smell the patchoulie and a pretty earth scent (I guess the mushrooms) as well, but after 20 minutes all three was left was the sweet fig on my skin. Sad but no scent for me.

2017 version OMG I am glad I blind bought this one, it is such a gorgeous scent, like a designer perfume like someone wrote. Normally I hate flower Scents but wanted to try this cause of the hemlock and nightshade. On the other side I love amber and frankincense, I cannot detect one of them, but all together they are gorgeous. It is floral, sweet and heavy. Thankfully it lasts all day on my skin.

Wow such a strong vertiver at the beginning, it is almost sharp. But I like vertiver! There are also the astringent dead leaves note and the smoke as well at the beginning. This is really strong - I guess one must like those strong components. As it dries down the vertiver gets less strong and the other components take over a bit and the vanilla mellows it out. But the scent is still quite strong and I guess masculine. But I like dark masculine scents.

Wet: On my skin the plum is very dominant with a dark undertone. As it dries the plum gets less strong and a beautiful oudh scent emerges within the next hours. Stays on my skin until the next day. Very strong wear length. This DL I liked from the beginning, the others needed some time to rest. I can only guess the clove, cannot detect it on its own. But I really like it!!

In the bottle: it smells beautifully in the bottle, incense and juniper. Wet: incense and the tangy juniper, which I love. Dry: my skin sucks this up, first I can still smell the incense and a little tangy, but short after I hardly smell anything, it completely fades.

I acquired a bottle of this old scent, 12 years old. Wet: this is very herbal on my skin. Dry: the honey scent is quite strong on me with a floral touch. But I cannot detect Carnation, frankincense or copal which is sad.

Sadly this is just roses on me. Strong roses. No Carnation, no cherry. Nothing for me sadly.

Wet: green apple? I really smell this typical apple scent with a bit blossoms in the background. Dry: now I can detect the tea scent, it is kind of astringent. The apple is gone but the blossom scent gets stronger. But I get no Sandelwood and no dragonsblood. Sad but nothing for me. Was hoping for a more balsamic scent.
