Vixen Red is wonderful. cherry, velvet rose, and the vanilla bean wax are all there and lovely. As it dries the "lipstick" note I love comes to the forefront, but it's light and springlike as opposed to Black Lipstick which has a heavier note to it (which make no mistake, I LOVE.) Vixen Red is like the warm-weather cousin to that.

This smells very vintage! It definitely evokes an ancient cosmetic. On application I can pick out the oud, rosewater and vegetable waxes. As it begins to dry down the floral (narcissus?) waxy notes remain, in a good way. It gently fades to just a light wax scent. I'm gonna say something weird, but if you like the smell of a fresh box of famous-brand crayons (and I do) this is giving that as well. Lovely and very, very interesting scent.

I love it. It's very gentle and stays close to the skin. It reminds me of the recent Blackberry and Violet Chiffon duet, only the blackberry is swapped for a light pear and a little coconut milk that then fades to a beautiful vanilla.

This was a blind bottle purchase that I was 99% sure I'd love, and I do. It's all ruby chocolate and red musk and berries. If you like those notes you will love this. It's great. ❤️

This is gorgeous. I'm getting the ruby cocoa plus something almost smoky, but not smoky if that makes sense. It could be the combined notes of oak moss and blood musk. I gets little whiffs of all the different notes and keep thinking how good it smells. This was a blind bottle purchase because of the ruby cocoa and it does not disappoint!!

This is an amaaaaaaaaaaaazing cookies and pine scent...crisp, comforting, no one note overpowering the other. It also pairs nicely with a hair gloss from years past - Candy Canes, Powdered Sugar, Snickerdoodles, and Vanilla Cream - if you have that, try pairing it with Eighteenth Lash!

Harvest Moon: Blood Orange and Champagne
frizzlechicken replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This is a great scent both on its own and layered. Alone, it's a crisp and light blood orange champagne; the blood orange tempers the usual fizziness of the lab's champagne, but not too much. It's very airy so this would be a nice lightweight oil to wear anytime. Combining it with the regular Harvest Moon oil creates a delicious orange/fall cocktail vibe. I found layering this one changed the Harvest Moon "base" the most - the latter is nice and strong on me, but with the Blood Orange & Champagne layered it actually becomes more subtle. Magic! -
Harvest Moon: Corn Husk and Nutmeg

Nutmeg-y corn, very comforting and nice both on its own or layered with the regular Harvest Moon oil. -
Harvest Moon: Apple Pulp and Oats
frizzlechicken replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Strong apples and oats! Almost like an apple oatmeal. Absolutely gorgeous. Combining it with the regular Harvest Moon oil kicks it up into MAJOR FALL HARVEST VIBES. If (like me) you love that, then you gotta pick up both bottles for layering! -
Harvest Moon: Campfire Smoke and Bay Rum
frizzlechicken replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
This is a toasted shaving cream with an underlying gentle musk (possibly a skin musk?) I love the lab's bay rum, and having the smoky campfire note really intermingles with the bay rum well. Combining it with the regular Harvest Moon oil adds a nice spicy mix, and also grounds the notes in Harvest Moon. The smoke really shines when combined. -
I wanted to take a moment to review this before it comes down. I absolutely love this iteration of Harvest Moon. The blend of this is just perfect - you can smell the cornmeal, the apple, the oats, and a teeny but of clove and honey. The patchouli grounds it all into a gorgeous mix. It is almost like a sister-scent to Samhain, but minus Samhain's damp woods and fir. I have received the most amount of compliments when wearing this - strangers have literally stopped me to ask what it is and where it's from. I am also going to note that combining it with its accompanying duets is magic - each one combines differently with the base of Harvest Moon, and all of them are fantastic.

This is a great example of glowing reviews here swaying me to make a purchase! I had saved this when it first came out as a possibility because I usually like Amber blends, but with so many things vying for my attention I may have missed out. This is a gorgeous scent, full of rich resinous Amber. Like many others have said, there’s a Labdanum-esque undertone as well, which I love. The carmelized oud is the same kind in recent blends like Gingerbread Oud; it’s spicy without being too much. This is a great scent both when freshly applied and having faded after a few hours. Thanks everyone for having posted reviews so that I didn’t miss out!

The lovely paperflowers included this in a recent decant package and I am so glad…I might not have tried this otherwise, and it is so lovely. The lavender and coconut blend so beautifully with the blue musk; it’s like an elegant coconut perfume and fades beautifully to a soft musky blueberry/musk/coconut. No one note ever overpowers. I love it so much I added a bottle to my final Lupers order.

I love this - judging by how frequently I've worn it since I got a decant and then upgraded to a bottle, this is my favorite Luper of 2024. I get a lot of grape and red musk, personally, which I love. Agreed that there's no funky Oudh, just a sweet undertone backing the grape and red musk. I can't personally pick out the other notes, but I assume they're part of what makes this seem so well-blended. Every time I catch a whiff when wearing, it's great. Will likely get a backup of this one.

This is beautiful! It is light and sweet, but not overly sweet; it almost reminds me of Rope Pulley but with a soft lemon instead of a lot of strawberry. There's also a hint of tangy cream cheese upon application. The dry down is soft and sugary. I feel like I get whiffs of all the notes in the description. I love it and wore it two days in a row which I hardly ever do! This is going to be a really lovely warm weather scent.
