Jasmine honey on a cloud of vanilla and the olive + champaca flowers, over a very mild base of powdered cinnamon and sandalwood. Sweet warm silk.

Bruised Violet Compound
monocainsheresy replied to Leopard403's topic in Doc Constantine's Pharmacopoeia
Starts off with soft violets and moss and quickly turns into scratchy patchouli with a touch of red currant juice. Fresh, clean, herbal dirt. -
Honeysuckle, mandarin, and salt front and center over a green musk base. Fresh, softly sweet and floral - overall impression of "melon". A scent of cheerful aliens having a spa day.

"Effervescent" indeed! Bubbly lemon and bergamot that dries down into a sweet, almost sugary vanilla musk.
-
Very, very faint, even in the bottle. I can't pick out any specific notes except a bit of the rose. You know the smell of a box of bpal straight out of the mail, before you open any of the bottles? This is that. The is liquid bpal box. And that is something I've always wanted, so I am quite pleased! Virtually no throw, and barely floral at this age (8 years).

This smells EXACTLY like the Roberson mansion in my hometown! Sweet and sticky and warm in the bottle. On the skin the musk (black) comes forward and the stickiness goes away. Some sort of vanilla cookie, spices (nutmeg?), tea leaves, and... myrrh? There has to be some sort of resin or wood in here. I would like 3 more bottles please.

Lavender cotton candy, Snake Oil, and honey. No rosewater on me. I love lavender and cotton candy and my skin amps both, so I adore this!

Blueberry and a pink bubblegum note that is very specifically the dust on the outside of a freshly unwrapped piece Warm and sweet. The bucket of Dubble Bubble that the teacher would bring out when we were especially good.
-
Toasted vanilla gingerbread and woody, resiny oudh, and a distant pine note to keep it from being too dark. Bready and smokey. Definitely a holiday scent but with a twist. This would be a spectacular candle.

If you are allergic to chocolate but can wear scents with it where it isn't so prominent, avoid this. I couldn't even rub it in and had to wipe it off because it was so itchy. COCOA, Snake Oil, and rice milk, and teakwood shavings way in the background. Trying to be sweet, kind of plasticy. Like the smell of a full plastic trick-or-treating bucket. This would probably be much more interesting without the cocoa.

2012 version Brown sugar, something spicy, and a little bit of fruit. Much more caramel-y and foodie than expected. Sticky and almost boozy.

Very lavender-forward in the bottle; on the skin the rosewood is immediately front and center with the lovely incensey sandalwood + palo santo combo making it appropriately churchy and morgue-like for the concept. The lavender is there but very much in the back seat. Rose and lavender incense and wood.

Leviticus 27:19

Coffee, cedarwood, and benzoin mostly, with the agarwood smoothing it out. I don't smell the nutmeg but it's definitely making my skin itch a little. Hoping for something more incensey and spicy, but this is still very nice. A sleek, neutral, cologne-like scent. -
I for one joyfully embrace my generation's new moniker. Sweet, sugary, gummy-bear-esque blackcurrant, herbal cistus, and inky, musky oudh (if you're afraid of oudh, try this one out - very gentle). Candy and woods. I went back and forth on getting this one and I'm definitely happy I went for it!

Orange, spice, and booze. Sharp and nose-tickling. Almost a perfect dupe for Lush's Karma, just lacking a touch of the warmth.
-
Frosting and vanilla cake and fizzy, gingery apple cider. Wisteria and a hint of the red velvet's cocoa in the background. Wish the cake notes were more prominent, but overall a very nice holiday scent.
-
Cherry-honey, myrrh, and flowers. Sweet and mysterious.
-
Benzoin, BERGAMOT, and fir mostly. Woody, musky, and sweet.
-
What it says on the tin. Simple, sweet, and earthy. Very nice.

The pinot, rose, and jasmine holding hands with the myrrh and sandalwood trailing along behind. No patchouli. -
Just chocolate and sandalwood on me - woody, nutty, bittersweet.
-
Buttery, creamy butterscotch! Sweet and boozy.
