Sandalwood dust, with the rose + amber combo totally reading as cedar at first but turning to a very light floral and an amber that smells exactly like real amber resin (which I have been looking for for AGES. This is my favorite bpal amber note).
-
Mostly civet and red musk with a hint of medicinal opium. Not as strong as expected, but I think that is an advantage for this one given how strong these notes generally tend to be. Subtly animalistic and hard to pin down.
-
Warm musk + leather and herbal sage + cedar set atop a wonderful vanilla-lavender marshmallow. I love this exactly as much as I thought I would. Which is A LOT.
-
Merlot, musk, and a hint of leather. No flowers on me. Sweet, lavish grape candies.
-
Fluff (vanilla-y cotton on me), bright pumpkin, a bit of cinnamon, and clove clove clove! This is so goooood - like the lovechild of Jack and Game Over
-
2019 version Pumpkin cake and a thick smear of cream frosting (which maybe has coconut in it?) and dusty, powdery cardamom. Not as spicy as I expected, but I'm fine with that!
-
Mostly kelp and salt on me, with leather in there somewhere... not bad it's dangerously close to tipping over to a "febreezed bathroom" smell...
-
Woody salt and spicy, spicy rum that smells, somehow, like bubblegum! That probably comes from the "prostitute's perfume." Like a seaside candle shop! Edit: aged about 2 months this smells a lot like Chanel No. 5!

Incense shop! Floral-type dragon's blood weighted by soft leather.
-
Just the lavender, gardenia, lilac, and ylang ylang for me. Smells like the backyard of my childhood home in summer. Just the lavender, gardenia, lilac, and ylang ylang for me. Smells like the backyard of my childhood home in summer.

Oh heck yeah - this is 100% sweet, spicy, candied anise on me! However it does itch
-
On me this is totally incense and pez candies! Mostly myrrh and wine - cool and lightly fruity, but still has that musty incense effect I love.
-
Boozy flowers, moss, and loam. Lemons and spice somewhere in there. Nice, but underwhelming given the praise I've heard of it.
-
Not much to say on this one beyond just "yup. that's cucumber." Fresh and green and watery
-
This is not going the way I expected... definitely rose and patch and sandalwood, but presenting not at all how they've done on me before. Woody hard candies of a nondescript flavor.
-
Ooh! What a pleasant surprise! The blackcurrent/ozone combo is actually awesome, and combined with the musk, lavender, and resins this totally smells like a Lush store. Oh yeah. This is a crate of bath bombs right here.
-
In the imp it smells almost exactly like True Love, but as soon as it hit my skin it flipped to strong, sneezy honeysuckle and sharp jasmine. Dang it. Generic floral soap scent.
-
A warm soup of resins and spice, livened by black pepper. The neroli is not distinct but it lingers in the background keeping the scent from being too intense
-
Rose and creamy orris over warm coconut - what I imagine extremely high-end sunscreen smells like. Uncomplicated and lovely.
-
Mostly tobacco, amber, and orchid, with light spices and sharp musks. Like magazine cologne samples but actually good lol
