This is CLOVE a in ALL CAPS SCREAMING CLOVE. ..and like the above reviewer, I also get something herbal which I mistook for palo santo (which I love). I am guessing my nose is interpreting the woody or ashy note as palo santo, and the clove is so strong I think I imagine anise (again, making me think palo santo). This smokiness isnt BBQ at all for those who dislike that sort of smoke. To me, its more of a dryness, like dry charred cloves. So far its pretty uncomplicated: that note I perceive as palo santo and CLOVE. As of right now I am not discerning any musk or patchouli but I am going to return to my review to update as the scent dries and warms to my skin.

oh this is so very pretty! It’s green and bright and wonderful. I know Lettuce is not listed as a note in this blend, but, I am reminded of the wild lettuce in The Last Unicorn. I suppose that is the sweetness of the hay and wild grasses. It is a playful perfume on my skin, like I am not picking up on a cunningness, I am smelling something more like a moonbathing in wet summer grasses. As it dries, it is less sweet on my skin and I begin to pick up the datura blossoms, which smell of honeysuckle. I am again thinking of The Last Unicorn… I think the lilac and lettuce notes there are reminding me of the hay and datura here. Lovely perfume. Need to test side by with The Last Unicorn to see if the white chocolate in that blend distinguishes it from Swiftfoot to determine if I need both. They are by no means even cousins, but in situations where I would reach for a summery green and floral blend, I am happy with The Last Unicorn and may not need both.

This is such a fun blend and I am glad a friend gifted me a decant to try. On my skin, it is a milky type scent. I get some toastedness that is probably the pistachio, milk chocolate, and just the teeniest with of cherry. I agree with the others that it’s pretty spot on.

What is your favorite Easter candy? Sour candies! Like skittles or something. Chewy not hard. Dark Chocolate! Do you like Jelly Bellies? If so what flavors? Yes! Popcorn, Cakey, Blueberry…. I love popcorn jelly bellies. Do you have a preference for plastic eggs, treat bags, paper, or no preference? No preference Are you interested in some of my homemade brown sugar shortbread? I can do gluten free and/ or monkfruit sweetened. Flavors include "plain" vanilla, chocolate, orange blossom, cherry blossom, lavender, rose, combinations thereof. oh yes, anything homemade! For those who don't like imps... In the case I find that I have something PERFECT for you in my collection that I want to share, would decanting into a squat itty bitty bottle with a screw top lid or rollerball be ideal? I am OK with imps, even empties off my wishlist! Hi little chick, I just got yet another seed catalog in, and was thinking about the garden. It seems on theme, so do you garden? Would you like anything like seeds? Hmmmm, Maybe hollyhocks? Spring Chick o' Mine, I have a question about mugs! What are your general feelings on mugs/drinkware? I like them!

This goes on skin as a super sticky blueberry candy. Smells a little warm and melty. Like a hard candy thats been left in your pocket. The salt is mildly present, but it isnt aquatic in the least on my skin. The blueberry calms down in the first five minutes, but that impression I had of warmth remains. It could almost be interpreted as candle, but not that this smells like candle… just that it smells like a warm blueberry candy. It definitely is not a realistic blueberry note, nor is it tart as the Blueberry in Blueberry Sufganiyiot was (which made it so foodie). I collect blueberry scents, and this is a fun one to try, but, when I pulled out the bottle this morning I wondered why I had been content to only have a low partial and application yielded why. For blueberry candy scents, I prefer Blue Lollipops: a sweeter, sugary, more kiddie simple blueberry candy blend that I find fun.

Every once in awhile I find one cinnamon scent that truly is candy on my skin. I find the term “red hots” tossed around for a general disdain of cinnamon but I seldom actually sniff that candyish scent in a perfume. BUT WHOA DADDY, I JUST FOUND IT IN HIDOUS HEART. Perhaps the cherry accord used here in combination with the cinnamon is what is so cinnamon candy like? As it dries down the cinnamon becomes smoother and the cherry stronger, but the hot cinnamon candy effect remains. No licorice for me at all. Bummer, as I love licorice! Smells like a fall craft store as it continues to dry. Like cinnamon broom. At this stage I get the above cough syrup references…. Meh.

This smells like winter air feels. Like, when you step outside and the cold air instantly chills your face and inhalation stings a bit. Its brisk and invigorating. It reminds me exactly of waking up early on a weekend morning in wintery West Virginia and wanting to get a jump on shoveling snow out of the driveway at my grandparents home. Their driveway is long and its a morning to midday task to clear it. If we didnt get started early, my grandfather would do it himself and this worried my grandmother as she didnt like her 80 plus year old husband getting a chill. It is so cold out and the air is dry and chilly and the stock whiteness of everything makes your eyes sting. But something feels so rewarding about looking back on nice tracks of pavement greeting you where heavy snow had been. My grandmothers home is warm and waiting. I am getting the sharp mint and a very herbal lavender in equal proportions. The mint is almost menthol to me, definitely sinus clearing! I get just a bit of bergamot, it might be what is making me perceive the lavender as so herbaceous. This is not a sleep scent for me, it is more a refreshing zingy scent to wear while hanging winter holiday decorations outside, since Georgia will not get the snow I miss from West Virginia. I do not need a bottle but will keep this decant for just such a purpose!

Was gifted a decant of this by a friend! The white musk really is milky here, although I would not say that its dairy milk, more that it goes on creamy and smooth. I get alot of mugwort and its so comforting: fresh. The lavender is well blended with the mugwort and white musk and I feel that the combined total presents as a delightful dreamy blend that would be perfect to wear anytime ones thoughts feel disheveled, or in circumstances where you feel you need to be more grounded. I keep leaning in to huff my wrist, and the overall scent presentation is one of ambivalence to change, a gentle contemplation of what is to be. I do not smell any clove or dragons blood resin, Thats OK as I have blends I enjoy for those notes and can not imagine it would add to my pleasure in this blend to have them be prominent. Adding this to my wishlist.

Let this rest a couple days before testing. Right now this is an odd one on me. Not sure what I’m smelling or what I’m thinking about what I’m smelling. Sometimes I get a little bit of green cucumber from paper/book accords. Those are the ones I dislike the most. Right now what I’m getting from this perfume is a light cucumber and cinnamon with the velvet note. I like the velvet note. And the cucumber style paper note is not bad. What’s confusing me is the cinnamon. Or maybe it’s the paper and cinnamon. Without a vanilla or or perhaps a creamy blended resin to ground everything. I am not able to smell the rosewater, or the lilac. I think those two notes would’ve been a welcome addition to this as well. Like I said … confused. Like blindfolded and swinging at a pinata I can not see and am not even sure is there. I may revisit this and I may let this review stand as it is a metaphor For when I cannot interpret a scent and have no clue what actually I smell.

Realistic? Modern/abstract? Cartoony? Cellar Door Bath Supply just sent out their black friday promo - wondering what looks good, if anything, to my Yule kitten Did I ask what your favorite nut is?

I received a decant of this as a gift from a forumite. In vial big burst of menthol and same on application. Then, Even while the wrist is still damp from perfume application, a sweet vanilla emeges. The vanilla is a foodie one to my nose and as the scent begins to dry down, becomes vanilla and pine! This is a favorite stage , but heads up to all wondering: the menthol is not a top note for me and does remain present through dry down. It just isnt a major player past application. It smells like the chill of winter air and pines. So, somehow to this add some super sugary and sweet vanilla. It might not work for you if you wished for a basic snow scent. But if your a foodie and just dappling in atmospherics, this would be lovely to try. I would wear this while decorating my christmas tree. Theres a candy cane in vanilla cocoa and I am wearing my most cozy flannels and watching It’s A Wonderful Life. The ornaments are crocheted white snowflakes, heavily starched, being pulled from an old cardboard box from layers of time worn tissue paper. ❤️

This is FANCY. Was gifted a decant of this to try and wowzers. I am getting a vanilla fougere and then the toasted almond: which, I perceived as nutmeg until I read notes! I suppose the toasting is what gave it this nutty spice smell. Super yum. Jasmine surfaces as it begins to dry on skin. At this stage, I no longer imagine that I am smelling nutmeg. It s so lovely. Fancy. That must be what I thought was fancy! It isnt indolic in the least. So pretty. This isnt. delicate pretty scent though, Its bold on my skin. I want more of this Jasmine accord. All the things. This jasmine hugs the wrists like a cuff. The vanilla fougere is the scent those three feet away would love. Only those leaning in to whisper in your ear will smell the lovely jasmine. It hovers in the masculine to cologne once or twice, but manages to stay on the feminine side more the masculine or even gender neutral. I would wear this to dine out in. I would want to wear something sexy, This is a body hugging dress with a drapey shawl covering the shoulders. So happy I got to try and wouldnt turn down a larger decant but Since I never get to go out to dine (sad cries) I only need decants.

I leave for a ten-day trip to Paris and London in one week's time and I'd love to bring back a goody or two if my Naughty/Nice Puss has any requests! Something locally made by. female artisan. Examples: necklace, scarf… are you interested in an advent calendar? What kind? (Dog cookie, tea, chocolate, etc.) no…. I forget to open them. Officially asking for your krampus preference, naughty children! CAT! I hand-make light-weight hair falls, the kind that is NOT meant to look real, but more like doll (or Dolly) hair. I use stuff like recycled silk, ribbon yarn and the like to keep them extremely light-weight and pretty. Is this something you would like? If so, tell me your color preferences (the more options, the better!) plus any allergies I should know about (wool, alpaca, silk etc), and length. I work in gym and keep sweaty hair in. tight low ponytail. This lovely creation would be wasted on me. ☹️ Would you like a super ugly "Christmas" sweater with krampus all over it?? Nah. Krampus socks though! Cat krampus socks. Is there anything you particularly have your fingers crossed for on your wishlist? Hmmmm, thats so kind to ask. I think the ones I want the most are also the hardest things to find. And having wishes makes me happy as it gives me things to daydream over. Anything given in love makes me feel happy, so do not sweat my wishlist. are you hoping for more perfumes or more non-smelly goodies? I will have yule perfumes incoming from arcana and bpal, so if its more fun to shop for other items, that works for me, too. dear Victim, are you in need of a squishable krampus? (or other squishable?) I think these would become a dog or cat victim in my home. Anything from Penzy's to show you praise or to punish your wicked tongue? not familiar with their catalog, but if they have an herb mix that you would add oil to for bread dipping YES. Do you like homemade fudge if it is Krampus'ed up? If krampus upped means boozy, yes. would you like a piece of Krampus themed art? Either watercolor, resin, polymer clay, or wire wrap? Watercolor! I'm probably going to place an order for October 33rd once I get paid next week. Are there any BPALs (recently released or otherwise) that you would love to get on St. Nicholas Day? welp. Pumpkin Rum cake cause i ordered then they added it. Is there anything you'd be interested in from Loreworks? Please note, the body wash is marketed as body wash/bubble bath, but it DOES contain SLS for those who avoid it.) Bodywashes are nice. dear victim, are you interested in a microwaveable bowl cozy? no Dearest Victim, might you bed a fan of the glorious old punk band, the Damned? I'm seeing them perform on Friday, so there might be things like tour t-shirts or stickers available- would any of this be of interest to you? (if not, no worries, I can worship them enough for the both of us! ) no Dear *ahem* Victim *snicker* ... Would you enjoy a 2023 wall calendar? No. I forget tp use them. Victim, is there anything you would like from the Zeep holiday collection releasing on November 1st? (see this post) ohhhhh any non apple wax sounds fun, especially in clammies as it wouldnt be too extrvgent an expense for my partner. Interested in cranberry ones and pine ones and cookies and peppermint, Are you interested in boozy homemade fruitcake? Boozy all the things BUT fruitcake. I dislike the citron. How about booze itself, specifically, moonshine whiskey infused with spices and fruits? YES Brown sugar shortbread? "Plain" buttery or flavored? Favorites include lavender and chocolate orange, but I could definitely do a holiday spice or peppermint batch or two. Yum, yes! I want to make altered altoid tins for Christmas. Would you like one? Ha ha, my question. YES What kind of homemade cookies do you like? not a cookie fan… but like when I do get cookies its the pepperidge farm Bordeaux cookies. I just found copy cat recipes and am going to try to bake them! Are you interested in having any freshly dried apple crips? (Golden Delicious and Fuji -- sliced, dried apples with nothing added.) no thank you. Is there anything you're eyeing from Paintbox Soapworks' winter update? I am having issues with dermatitis and avoiding all skincare right now except milkys bathsalts feom luvmilk
